Writer's Block: Dynamite with a laserbeam
Oct. 18th, 2010 06:57 pm[Error: unknown template qotd] It's a bit of a toss-up for me between 1990, 1991 and 1992 because they were such solid years for good Canadian alternative/rock music when so many bands were at their peak and broke away from the sound of the previous decade (Corey Hart...Bryan Adams...ugh...) and it was lucky for them because CanCon regulations had increased by then, so you couldn't help but listen to them. If I feel nostalgic for the early 90s because I was in my teens then and it also marked the end of the Progressive Conservative era...for a while anyway!
The Northern Pikes always had prairies written all over them...
Blue Rodeo is always a class act, but Casino (1990) and Lost Together (1992) are my favourites...for the longest time they were the only Canadian band that could make a decent video...
And then it's hard to believe The Hip polished their sound enough in one year to go from Road Apples (1991) to Fully Completely (1992). All my friends were captivated by the strange darkness of this song (everyday I'm dumping the body) and it marked the end of their crappy videos.
