  Lighthouse.

  A pathetic copy of Chicago (an over-rep'd band IMO)

  Thoughts?

  If the worst Canadian band is someone other than Nickleback, it must mean Nickleback broke up. Oh, happy day!

  Quarterback

  Now you are talking my generation. I did like some of Lighthouses songs. Does anyone remember a 60's Canadian Band called, "Mashmekan". They had a hit, "As years go by". There first album did well, but they all of a sudden disapeared. I thought that they had potential

  Yes, I remember Mashn makan. My first live band was Crowbar. They played in my school auditorium. Ah, the 70s ..... :D
  
  
  Lighthouse had a good 70s sound, with a typically Canadian stong-front-man sound ...

  By 1976, I had left the JW. and by 1980, I could fully appreciate their music, as did a whole generation of Canadians. :P

  Sunny Days

  Sittin' stoned alone in my backyard
  Askin' myself "Why should I work so hard?"
  Sittin' dreamin' 'bout the days to come
  Half-undressed, just soakin' up the sun

  Sittin' here, I hope I don't get fried
  Two years ago, you know, I almost died
  And yet, there's nothin' better for your soul
  Than lyin' in the sun and listenin' to rock 'n roll

  Sunny days
  Oh, sunny, sunny, sunny days
  Ain't nothin' better in the world, you know
  Than lyin' in the sun with your radio

  Sunny days
  Oh, sunny, sunny, sunny days
  Ain't nothin' better in the world, you know
  Than lyin' in the sun with your radio

  I really think there's nothin' quite so fine
  As lettin' the sun rejuvenate your mind
  Don't get me wrong, I really dig the moon
  But it was four in the afternoon when I wrote this tune

  And now the sun's about to fade away
  I'm feelin' better than I've felt for days
  You know, there's nothin' better for your soul
  Than lyin' in the sun and listenin' to rock 'n roll

  Sunny days
  Oh, sunny, sunny, sunny days
  Ain't nothin' better in the world, you know
  Than lyin' in the sun with your radio

  Sunny days
  Oh, sunny, sunny, sunny days
  Ain't nothin' better in the world, you know
  Than lyin' in the sun with your radio

  .....

  Sunny days
  Oh, sunny, sunny, sunny days
  Ain't nothin' better in the world, you know
  Than lyin' in the sun with your radio

  Sunny days
  Oh, sunny, sunny, sunny days
  Ain't nothin' better in the world, you know
  Than lyin' in the sun with your radio

  That was a popular tune at 70's Jw weddings, etc. ;)

  Lighthouse was, like Nickleback, a good pop band at most.

  There's no lack of great Canadian musicians, from Leonard Cohen to Shania Twain, And kd lang to Michael Buble ... David Foster "St. Elmo's Fire" and Paul Anka ... the list goes on and on.

  lol, I got to meet the Stampeders. :P
  
  
  And home town band ... April Wine, which no denying a top 70's band. Myles Goodwin, lead guitarist and front man ... and awesome skins!
