    Great thread, nice mix of people, terrific information and memories of great bands and music, I love it, I was watching Sky Arts today and guess what ' Jefferson Airplane ' was the feature band, brilliant, remember 'White Rabbit' ....
    A brief reminder..( I did google for the song, my memory remembers tunes and some of the words)

    Lyrics
    'One pill makes you larger, and one pill makes you small
    And the ones that mother gives you, don't do anything at all
    Go ask Alice, when she's ten feet tall
    And if you go chasing rabbits, and you know you're going to fall..'

    The Brian Johnson programmes are brilliant. The programme is called Brian Johnson - A Life On The Road
    To date I've seen him interview Robert Plant, Dolly Parton, Billy Joel, Mark Knopfler, Mick Fleetwood, Joe Walsh, Paul Rodgers, Nick Mason, Joe Elliott and Sting.
    The best ones for me were the ones with Joe Walsh (in L.A) just really funny all the way through, Mark Knopfler in Tynemouth, and Mick Fleetwood (in Hawaii)

    Originally backing one Robert Alan Zimmerman, aka Bob Dylan, but gaining popularity in their own right.
    Great album.

    Rush or Tragically Hip for anyone? Had to get the Canadian content in the mix.

    Mike - wasn't Neil Young a Canadian?

    A band that certainly were from your part of the world. I doubt there were many bands who had a frontman whose name was Fred.

    And who could forget Martha & The Muffins who were also Canadian. Echo Beach has to be one of my all time favourite pop songs !

    I have tickets to several gigs up for later in the year but whether they will happen is anyone's guess

    Ozzy Osbourne - Birmingham on Halloween
    Phil Campbell & The Bastard Sons - Bristol in November
    Michael Schenker - Wolverhampton in December

    Well done, and there's also Steppenwolf (Born To Be Wild), The Guess Who, Nickelback etc all which originated from Canada.

    I was wrong about Heart - they’re from the US.

    Must be an urban myth then like when everyone in the early 1970's thought that David Bowie was Australian <laugh>
    I would have bet real money on them being from Canada

    Arcade Fire are Canadian and a real marmite band. The Suburbs is a great album imo
