Jane destroys any Rush song ever and Jane is barely in BNLs top 10. #suckitgill

LOL, but as a student of good music, BNL was on a trajectory close to the Stones and then they broke up...

BNL were very good with the original lineup, but the way i would describe them would be "Clever". They wrote and performed songs with clever lyrics and catchy tunes.
For me, Guess Who, Ian and Sylvia, Diana Krall, Valdy, Gordon Lightfoot, Serena Ryder are just a few of my many varied favorites over the last 60+ years. I was never much of a Rush fan, but the competition in their era was huge and i just preferred other bands.
I used to volunteer at a folk music club, i did their newsletters, web pages etc, and got to enjoy tons of fantastic live music. It was a solid mix of international and Canadian talent. Theres a current Nashville star named Lindsey Ell who volunteered there with her parents and eventually got a spot as an opener.
A couple of weeks ago, an old chum from my Montreal days sent me a link to a YouTube video featuring a friend of his daughter's. Apparently, they have a solid following on that resource.
So, here is a Canadian Band covering an Australian classic. Hope you enjoy it - its different acoustically and it's fun.

Sounds like she is having trouble hitting the high notes. I remember the song. Who was the guy that used to sing it?

Neil Young's "The Needle and the Damage Done" is one of my favorites. The seeming simplicity of the the guitar riffs are very recognisable.
I was at a concert of his a number of years ago, and hated it, except for that song. It made sitting though the rest of the trash worthwhile, but holy crap it was loud. We had to wear earplugs or we'd have had to leave. The scary part was we were at the far end of the venue.
It's no wonder some people cant hear my bell on my bike as i approach!

A good rendition of an AC/DC classic. Without a doubt, no one could match the vocals of Brian Johnson.
Honorable mentions: Alanis Morrisette, K.D. Lang, Jan Arden, Sara McLachlan
I once sat beside Bruce Cockburn in a sushi bar while visiting Banff a number of years ago.

JRA, I can't tell if you were making a joke, or if you know that Bubbles (Mike Smith) was actually a reasonably successful rock star long before the TPB's. I saw them perform at Lee's Palace in Toronto in the mid-90's while I was in college, and they were awesome live. Still have an autographed CD in storage somewhere...
But Bubbles in his own right does a Great version of Closer to the Heart.

I can agree with many of the names already mentioned, for sure, but, even though she may be kind of a niche musician, I really like Loreena McKennitt and I've been a big fan of Ian and Sylvia for a long long time. They have a really great body of work. More in the Rock vein, Paul Shaffer has a lot of cred.
