The song charted at #54 in Canada, while the album fared considerably better, reaching the Top 10. Characterized by a harder rocking, more guitar-driven sound than the band's previous releases ("Lethal Weapon" being one of the exceptions), Racing became Honeymoon Suite's third successive platinum album in Canada. However, the US breakthrough that Warner's was hoping for by placing the band on movie soundtracks didn't materialize.
What better way to celebrate the unofficial beginning of summer in Canada -- the Victoria Day holiday weekend -- than with some good Canadian music? Two For the Show (1976) was Trooper's second album release, and as with their first album, it was produced by Randy Bachman. It gave the band its first gold record, later achieving platinum status in Canada. The album produced two successful singles, in the title track (charting at #1) and "Santa Maria" (Top 5).
Streetheart's 1979 album Under Heaven Over Hell, the band's second release, contains some of their best-known hits. Continuing the success of their debut Meanwhile Back In Paris (1978), UHOH achieved platinum status in Canada.
From Glass Tiger's multi-platinum debut album The Thin Red Line (1986), "Don't Forget Me (When I'm Gone)" charted at #1 in Canada, #2 in the U.S., and received the Juno Award for 1986 Single Of the Year.
Breakdown In Paradise (1979) has always been my favourite Chilliwack album. Having picked it up out of a bargain bin years ago (along with Dreams, Dreams, Dreams), I found it to be a strong, cohesive album from beginning to end. It's not so much that every track is stellar (some are definitely stronger than others), but they just work really well together. It plays almost like a concept album, with several of the tracks seguing into the next one. For me, it adds up to a very satisfying whole.
AC/DC's 1990 album The Razors Edge (a title in search of an apostrophe 
) is often cited as a big "comeback" album for the band. Recorded in Vancouver, BC, the album was spectacularly successful, achieving multi-platinum status in several countries. It charted at #2 in the U.S. and #4 in the UK. Singles released included "Moneytalks" and "Thunderstruck". The latter was characterized by its pedal tone laden main riff, which is tabbed here.
