Toronto, definitely. Get It On Credit and Head On as stated earlier over on Rolling Hard Rock. They had the mid-80's classic rock sheen down to a fine art.
The first album by Teaze, at the least.
Teenage Head's premier disc. Very Doll's influenced, very rock and roll snotty.
Trooper -- the first one. Contains great hammerdown stuff like "General Hand Grenade" and "Roller Rink," about rocking on roller skates, which is mostly playin' and no singin', anyway.
And no one will want to miss Helix's Wild In the Streets.
And there's even a new indie film documentary on Anvil and their intrepid struggle in the face of relentless failure, perhaps coming to your town. At least LA, since someone wrote about it in the Times a couple weeks ago.

Yeah, that Anvil doc got a ton of praise at Sundance a short while back.
"Metal on Metal" is right up there with Razor's "Evil Invaders", as far as influencing a generation of Canadian metal fans in the 80s.

(BTW, were you actually hoping for more responses from non-Canadians? I can fuck off.)
― Sundar, Friday, 1 February 2008 22:03 (sixteen years ago) link
Well I figured mostly Canadians would post. But I wanted to find out some Canadian bands are highly popular worldwide. Excluding the obvious.

I'm not Canadian at all, and most of the posts in this thread are from me, so I wouldn't worry about it.

I just thought it would be fun to see what it was like to be Scott Seward.

Here's a classic Baz pic from his Toronto scenester days, from an old issue of Metallion:

What was supposed to go in the "one of the greatest Canadian metal albums of all Time" broken image, Adrien?

I hate hate cryptopsy mainly for the singer, and IF you could understand what he says, the lyrics also.

Oops, that's Simply Saucer's Cyborgs Revisited. An unbelievable album, part of which was recorded live on the roof of a Hamilton, Ont. shopping mall...and produced by Daniel Lanois.

All music calls it "an earth-shatteringly important record," but unfortunately it's going for between $40 and $70.

Yeah! Hat's are overrated. The fashion accessory that is. The band is kick ass.
