Canadian Rock Musicians and their songs

[J0E]

This thread is devoted to Canadian Rock Musicians and their songs over the past 50 years.



Here's one I've rather enjoyed

Dude, Canadian shit sucks!  It's not that we're any less talented, but simply the US lifestyle and paycheque just cannot be resisted!



So, we move to NY or LA!



Lots of Canadians infiltrating their shit!  OK though...  We look the same, and talk/sing almost the same also, so nobody knows...

December 4, 2000. Scott Smith of Lover Boy is washed overboard. He or his body was not recovered. I sold this boat to Scott in May of the same year, in San Rafael Ca. It was a Westsail 32. He and his crew were sailing back from the Farallones Islands, about 30 miles west of San Francisco. A terrible time of year to be doing this. The boat is a heavy crushing boat, and was capable.  Apparently Scott was not teathered to something solid and was washed overboard. I have searched for this boat off and on for the last 15 years. True story.

Wow, that's very interesting but I thought this thread was about Canadian musicians?



Mentioning the "band" (cringe) "Lover Boy" with anything having to do with music is kinda off topic don'tcha think???? ac_toofunny

Wasnt he a Canadian rock musician? Are you saying this band is or was lame? Maybe I'm not getting your sarcasm. I heard of them before. When the boat broker called me for a demo sail, he never mentioned who this person was. Anyway he bought my boat. Not long after he killed himself on her.

You got the Canadian part right and the "lame" part especially correct.



Although 'lame" may be an understatement. Loverboy, like so many so-called rock bands from the late 70s and 80s were the epitome of "corporate rock" garbage.

Canada's Finest!!!

Ah shit, I thought it was going to be a Brian Adams video.

Well Ace, not all folks, incl. our Yank friends livin' south of the 49th would agree with your assessment, Bud.



Here's one of America's biggest stars wowing the crowd in LA with what she considers one of Canada's Best:

You don't know me Rene. You are right, I don't know shit about Canadian rock bands. He did buy my boat, and paid me in cash. I could tell he fell in love with that boat. It was what he was looking for. It's really ashamed he lost his life aboard. I first found out from a friend who knew I owned and sold that boat to Scott. I moved out of the U.S. soon after I sold her.

Here's an old Gordon Lightfoot tune sung by an Irish band, the Johnstons:
