CANO by far. Au nord de notre vie is super viby. A briliant pastoral prog-lite album sung in French so Canadian that even I can hear the accent. xD My fave song is the jazzy version of the nursery rhyme Frère Jacques.

Yes, Neil's 78 now, so he's in his eighth decade with almost as many years in the music business. Long May He Run. Thumbs Up

Better to be an Ontarian band than an Octogenarian band. I vote for Saga - for the over-fifties. Tongue

Since Rush is not an option here Wink it's Triumph all the way. For a time back in the 80s, my one/two bands were Rush and Triumph.

Max Webster over Triumph. That had to be a double bill here at some point.
The Rebel Wheel from Ottawa is a band I discovered just recently but are well worth mentioning. Not seventies though.

I like FM's Headroom (1978), and FM is the only possibility for my voting.

FM > Saga > Max Webster. I'm just a tiny postscript in a battle between soap squash and microcomputer cups.

Yeah, point takenWink, except for CANO (they're full prog for their first three)...
 
... but I might have specified bands with more than one album and a fairly high profile, or else I could've cited True Myth, Nucleus (a fave of mine), Bent Wind, Cargo, Spirit Of Christmas, Klaatu (that one escaped me, actuallyEmbarrassed), Lighthouse (escaped me too), Plastic Cloud, and a few more

FM.  I have never understood how they could still be in prog related.  Their first 4 albums are prog, albeit in a crossover vein, and they were from 1977-1981 when a lot of prog band were no longer prog.

Love CANO also
