If you had asked me 3.5 months ago i would have said F11 followed by IME.

But after F11's new album (their worst so far) and the Brilliance that is the Quicksilver Meat Dream it's a dead heat between Finger 11 and I Mother Earth

That being said, if David Usher would get his act together and re-join Moist instead of this solo stuff... Moist would get a seroius look too.

have you seen his band? they're pretty awesome

his old mgb band or the band he plays with live?
i know the mgb bassist kinda sucked and the drummer was ok. steve genn was pretty awsome though.

Bachman Turner Overdrive motherfuckers. I can't belive you people forget BTO. You should be ashamed to call yourselves Canadians.
I faced death. I went in with my arms swinging. But I heard my own breath and had to face that I'm still living. I'm still flesh. I hold on to awful feelings. I'm not dead... My chest still draws breath. I hold it. I'm buoyant. There's no end.

Well, if you're mentioning BTO, you can't forget The Guess Who.
