Canadian music thread.

Just to prove that Headbangers know about music other than Metal, i drag forth from the 80's Corey Hart.
Btw intrepid i have albums by Triumph and April Wine on vinyl, though i didnt realise April Wine were Canadian. Great stuff.

Corey Hart - Sunglasses At Night

Rush - The Trees


There is trouble in the forest,
And the creatures all have fled,
As the maples scream "Oppression!"
And the oaks just shake their heads

This thread needs more celtic influence.

The first one is from the opening act for the first concert I ever went to.

Spirit of The West - Home for a Rest



Great Big Sea - Mary Mac



Canada's bad boy of fiddlin' - Ashley MacIsaac

Sleepy Maggie (lyrics in Gaelic)



A live clip of Ashley playing

Red Rider
Lunatic Fringe


Tom Cochrane (formerly of Red Rider)



I've always really liked both of these songs.

Three of my favorites
Aldo Nova - Fantasy


Kon Kan - I Beg you Pardon


Jane Child - Don't Want To Fall In Love.

My Favorite Triumph song.....Spellbound

The Tea Party- Psychcopomp(pretty mellow version)



Crank it for this band. Their 90's but sound 70's.

Walking Wounded:



That one was mellow by their standards too.

Tea Party kicking it-Temptation:

The Godfather of Canadian music, Gordon Lightfoot:

I'm a metal head but I LOVE this song- If you could Read My Mind:



His biggest hit- The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald:



This Canada's Cash, Jennings or Nelson. How about one more:

Sundown:

Folk me. Joni Mitchell- Big yellow Taxi(1970):

Moist- Push:



And Silver:

Here's a couple from Bif Naked. She's super-talented with an amazing voice, funny, kind, sweet and gorgeous. I have such a girl crush on her.

I Love Myself Today



Moment of Weakness

Bif's cool. I was looking for some Valdy, nothing on the Net, here's a remake of his tune Rock and Roll Song:

Google Video Link

Man, his Canadiana is amazing. Streets of Whitehorse. Peter and Lou. I don't know why he isn't on the Net. If someone can find some Valdy, please post it.

I like Valdy too. This site has some samples of his music: cdbaby.com...

How about this little bit of Canadian musical history?

Irish Rovers - Unicorn Song



I love this song.

Yeah so they didn't write it, but they made it famous.

Yayyyyyy!!!

After 3 edits later, Ducky finally gets the vid posted correctly.

I'm such a lame arse. :bash:

Here's another great Canadian, Daniel Lanois. I didn't find the songs I was looking for, but here's another one instead:


Daniel Lanois - Lotta Love To Give

Gosh, there are so many acts from Canada that I like, I can't even decide which to post. I like pretty much any kind of music, so here is a bit of a mix.

The Band - The Weight



Paul Anka - Put Your Head On My Shoulder



Leonard Cohen - Everybody Knows



Finger Eleven - Good Times

Here's another mixed bag of Canadian music.

Trooper - Boys in the Bright White Sports Car



Diana Krall - Charmed Life



Grapes of Wrath - All The Things I Wasn't



Burton Cummings - Stand Tall



Loverboy - Turn Me Loose

Here's more Loverboy because I had forgotten how much I liked them.

The Kid is Hot Tonight - I couldn't find the original, but this is funny.



Working for the Weekend - Again not the original, but funny. What is it that inspires Loverboy fans?



Lovin' Every Minute Of It
