In the late 1970's, Canada was well represented in the progressive rock field by bands such as Rush, Saga, Klaatu, and FM. Sci-fi themes dominated FM's 1977 debut album Black Noise, as heard on tracks such as the space exploration epic "Aldebaran". Tabbed here is the Intro, which with its delay-laden electric mandolin is in some ways similar to the Intro of the album's opening track (and single) "Phasors On Stun".
"I Will Still Love You" gave Vancouver's Stonebolt a major hit in the latter half of 1978. The single was drawn from the band's self-titled debut album (pictured). Released in mid-August, the song made a 15 week climb up the RPM 100 chart to peak at #19 on December 2. Success also came Stateside, with the single going Top 30 on Billboard.
Platinum Blonde's "Doesn't Really Matter" was the first of five singles released from the band's 1984 triple platinum selling (in Canada) debut album Standing In the Dark.
The TPOH song "Killed By Love" was originally released as a non-LP single and video in 1987, the follow-up to the Toronto band's first indie single "I'm An Adult Now". Both songs were re-recorded for the band's platinum selling (in Canada) 1988 debut album Love Junk. Due to the re-record, there are two slightly different versions of the Intro to "Killed By Love". Both are tabbed here.
The single "Make My Life A Little Bit Brighter" gave the band Chester a Top 10 hit in Canada in the summer of 1973. Together for only seven months when the single hit, the band released a few other singles, but ultimately didn't remain together long enough to record a full length LP. Members of the band went on to work with such artists as Chris DeBurgh and Ken Tobias. In 2008, a compilation CD entitled Chester, Mancel, Argue Collection was released. The disc brought together singles by Chester, as well as solo career tracks from some of the band members.
"Shine" is one of the best-known singles from Hamilton band Junkhouse. It's their second highest charting single release, second only to "Be Someone" (1995). The song was one of two singles drawn from the band's third and final studio album, Fuzz (1997). It also appears on the 2002 best-of compilation Rounders: The Best Of Junkhouse.
