Following on from the Classic American Rock polls, Here We Are in the Years of Classic Canadian Rock, and my vote goes to Neil Young for this first poll in the series. Thumbs Up

The Lady of the Canyon makes a late entry into the poll for any Joni Mitchell fans out there. Heart

3 stars 1968: Steppenwolf - Steppenwolf - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UjNT_VB9AaU


I'm just getting started. B...b...b....Baby, You Ain't Seen Nothing Yet. Smile

Not in the poll, but worthy of a mention.....

4 stars 1968: The Collectors - The Collectors - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TNVCeEN6BZk

I’m pleasantly surprised by the selection here. Clearly classic Canadian rock is more pleasant and enjoyable to my ears than classic US rock, if I’m to go by the polls from Paul.

There was usually only one contender (if that) per poll, for me, when it came to the US selections. Here I actually had to think about it…..for a nano-second. Neil Young’s debut is one of my favourites from his large and varied discography. He put out some duds, but this wasn’t one of them.

Only a small group of these fellow Canucks first albums are their best. But for my money Steppenwolf - Steppenwolf 1968 is a great first LP with three very strong hits and an iconic anthem in Born To Be Wild. Hard to beat in my eyes.

Hi,

CANO

They were progressive and good. A lot of those listed were not progressive or that interesting to me.

Joni and Neil might be the ones that are worthy of the mention, and they both deserve a bit of the progressive something for their work, but many of the others were not that great for my ears. I still have STEPPENWOLF's first 2 albums, but I'm not sure they are progressive. BTO is definitely not progressive. And the GUESS WHO is not worth of any mentions specially given some really poor and bad history about what they did to The Strawbs on a couple of tours. That alone is shameful and bad!

almost impossible to play because too many to choose from : Black Noise, Harmonium, 3:47 EST, Meanwhile Back In Paris, Pat Travers, Triumph, Chilliwack (though I prefer The Collectors), etc...

The poll is in the general music section so you're picking on the OP for no reason. He did nothing wrong. 

Don't be so patronizing all the time, sorry to tell you...

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)

Klaatu's debut album is quite wonderful.
