Yes, it's the only Canadian poll where Saga picked up more votes than Joni Mitchell and Neil Young combined. Geek

I know, but Joni is just too good to leave out of the poll. Smile

Thanks Doug. I've just hunted out that band out and added their debut album to the above list. By the way, I like The Hunt's debut much more than Rush's first album. Thumbs Up

Glad to see Steppenwolf mentioned as CanadianClap


from the list, the following are my faves, 

               FM - Black Noise

               Harmonium - Harmonium

               Klaatu - 3:47 EST

               Steppenwolf – Steppenwolf

               Streetheart - Meanwhile Back in Paris

               Triumph - Triumph 



but it's missing a few:

The Collectors' debut
Opus-5
Maneige
Sloche

A belated (3 years late?) celebration of Canada Day and with Saga currently leading the poll by just one vote, will another band Rush in to steal their Canadian crown? Smile



Unusually for me, I only used 23 of the 25 available poll slots, which means I can include Max Webster in the next poll. Wink

Saga takes this one. There's no other synth-intensive vocal album that year (1978) that's as good.

Even though I briefly hesitated when I saw FM's Black Noise, I must go with Saga's debut album. Although the late-1970s synths sound very primitive today, this album remains a flawless masterpiece from first note to last. And yes, I will take yet another opportunity to mention Ian Crichton's awe-inspiring guitar solo on "Tired World (Chapter Six)"!

There are some good ones here, from a classic rock perspective......Triumph, April Wine, BTO are very good. But Rush debut has that hard rocking, metalish vibe and you can't go wrong with Working Man.

Klaatu's debut album is quite wonderful.

From this list, I went with FM. Rush would be a close second.

Max Webster's debut was pretty good too. (not in this list)
