Goodbye you liar,
Well you sipped from the cup but you don't own up to anything
Then you think you will inspire
Take apart your head
(and I wish I could inspire)
Take apart your demons, then you add it to the list.

I'd like to think the Tragically Hip is up there.

The Guess Who have the title of like best single or something or other of the 70's from VH1

Then there was BTO Canada's answer to ELP. Their big hit was TCB.

yeah my vote would probably go to The Guess Who... Rush has some good music, but I hate them because of Geddy Lee's voice.

I would actually listen to Souldecision before I listen to Rush anyday. Does that mean I think they are a better band?
