@jc I was just grabbing names from the memory banks and they escaped me.
TBH I never got in to them. First few years I found them overly derivative and preferred listening to the guys that they were ripping off. Then when they really started to gather momentum I was into punk and reggae and had left the prog rock dinosaurs behind. I will now listen to prog rock but know nothing about Canada's pre-eminent rock trio.
Ignore all the above if you were being sarcastic.
That’s fair. Their first album really wanted to be .. I dunno, I want to say Nazareth?
Then they went so far down Prog Rock hole they came out of its arse with 3 albums that the purists love but were pretty much harder Genesis over a lyrical base of schoolboy doggerel, although I’ll deny I said that if pressed and a free pint is on the line.
Then they found their own way with Farewell to Kings and never looked back.

@bovidae I vaguely remember them but as I wrote earlier after an early 70's infatuation with prog rock,- Gabriel era Genesis, Floyd, Yes, King Crimson, Faust etc I sort of moved on to
less self-indulgentshorter musical genres.These guys were after my fling with prog rock was dead and buried.
I also went from buying about 5 albums a week to next to none when I started schlepping round Europe living in squats and hitching 6 months of the year.

Sure thing. “Why does love do this to me?” by the Exponents and it should be blocked everywhere.

The awesome thing about bands that cynically release a toxic piece of musical malware is that it’s self punishing. They’ve condemned themselves to playing the rancid shite over and over in ever more depressing venues in front of audiences descending to the level they deserve.
explains U2 chaining themselves to Vegas.
Doubt the fates will be assuaged so easily. they’re gonna be playing a Beautiful Day on loop in the frozen 9th circle of hell next to Dave Grohl strumming Best of You on a banjo with razorblade strings to those two Italians blokes stuck gnawing each other’s necks.
I might even pay to see that. But I doubt I’ll have to.
