I couldn't come up with a favourite band from Canada, but I knew it wasn't going to be Rush even though I have seven of their albums on CD - more than any other Canadian artist, including Celine Dion. Tongue

They're on my list, although  Ayreon, Earth & Fire, Solution, Trace and Within Temptation were all tempting favourite Dutch bands. Smile
Paul, do you like Alquin by any chance?

Yes, I'm a huge fan of Alquin.  Thumbs Up They're Holland's Best Kept Secret and they're coming up again soon - second time around - on my Dutch Prog blog.

Yes, the sun always shines on my favourite Hungarian band - not that I'm overly-familiar with Magyar prog generally. Smile

Hi,

Yep ... been hearing them for a long time!
Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about! Not being told!

Interesting to see Niemen here. I was under the impression you were a Polish expat living in Denmark.


You're quite right, but I'm Danish citizen and have been living very most of my life in Denmark, so I mostly consider DK to be my home country.

I see the emotion in the music, not the country
