Different era as well, obviously, but the Hip had a pile of hits compared to Triumphs few.
Other notable CDN bands are April Wine, The Stampeders, The Guess Who, Chilliwack, Blue Rodeo and of course Rush, who are more than likely the biggest band, most popular band to ever come out of Canada.
Great bar bands that I seen that received some international attention were Max Webster, Goddo and Trooper. Many more exist but it seems rather tough for CDN bands to break through sometimes.
This is Max Webster and Rush doing a popular song called Battle Scar. Their High Class in Borrowed shoes was a great album.
