    If we are going classic rock, I like The Guess Who, and BTO.

    I’d add Hayden to the list of enjoyable Canadian artists. He has also performed on a PJ undercard before at Barrie 1998. Lots of other good acts already mentioned, Dayglos, Sloan, Metric, the Hip, 54-40, etc.  The Ghandharvas, Smalls / Corb Lund, Daniel Lanois, Buck65 are some others that come to mind that I’ve enjoyed. 

    With respect OLP I too loved the first album, but in my opinion Raine’s vocals changed after that album and could never really get into them after that album.

    i recall them having to cancel many shows; i thought it was the whole tour. I just remember jag talking about the record company not putting any money behind the record as they didn't like it, so they pulled the plug on the tour. i had tickets to a show here. it didn't happen because of that.

    Yes I do recall some of that. I think what happened was they did get out on tour for a bit but eventually the rest was cancelled. I saw 2 shows in Kingston and one in Ottawa.
