I've always had a soft spot for Loverboy. Some people thought they were somewhat cheesy, but me personally, i thought they were a talented band. And along with Voivod, Saga and Rush(of course), are one of the best bands out of Canada.

Rest in Peace Bettie Boo. See u soon.

I'm not going to scroll and see if somebody mentioned my pick yet but I have to say Billy Joel and his band could be it.

Ok I went back and scrolled and I was tempted to reply to the RS post just to be a jerk but I didn't but I should have.
I'm not calling who kept the images going a jerk I just thought how annoying.

[Edited 6/21/20 2:59am]

And now I'm saying Billy Joel AND Duran Duran.

Anyone who challenges my selection of DD or even frankly Billy Joel as a pick surely better keep it đŸ’¯ when doing so.

I'm conclusion, my answer is Billy Joel and his band plus Duran Duran.

OK, if the thread is going to turn Canadian then the greatness and importance (well for Canada) of Tom Cochrane and Red Rider will need to be asserted.

Canadian Music Hall of Fame induction: Cochrane was inducted into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame in 2003 for outstanding contribution to the greater recognition of Canadian music.[10] The ceremony took place April 5, 2003, at Casino du Lac-Leamy in Gatineau, Quebec. The following night, Cochrane was honoured for his induction in a speech by Jeff Healey at the Juno Awards at the Corel Centre (now Canadian Tire Centre in Ottawa). Cochrane closed the show by performing a medley of his hits and was joined onstage by host Shania Twain for the final song, "Life Is a Highway".[11]

Order of Canada: In April 2008, Cochrane received one of the highest honours for a Canadian citizen when he was invested as an officer of the Order of Canada (the level companion of the Order of Canada is the highest honour, and several people originally invested as officers have been promoted to companions for continued contributions to charity and the arts, among other fields).[12] Cochrane was honoured for a lifetime of charity work, his contribution to the arts and for being unabashedly Canadian.

Canada's Walk of Fame: In September 2009, Cochrane was inducted onto Canada's Walk of Fame.[13] The induction was highlighted by a two-hour nationally televised gala at Toronto's Four Season's Center for the Performing Arts. Anne Murray hosted the event which also included the inductions of Kim Cattrall, Raymond Burr, Blue Rodeo, Dsquared2, Howie Mandel, Robert Munsch and Chantal Petitclerc.

Honorary colonel: In November 2007, Cochrane was formally invested as an honorary colonel (HCol) by the Royal Canadian Air Force's 409 "Nighthawks" Tactical Fighter Squadron. As part of his investiture weekend, Cochrane experienced his second flight in a CF-18.

Honorary doctorate: In May 2005, Cochrane received an honorary doctorate from Brandon University in Brandon, Manitoba. In addition, musician James Ehnes, journalist Henry Champ and actress Shirley Douglas received honorary doctorates from the university at the spring convocation held May 28, 2005.

Canadian Music Industry Hall of Fame Tom Cochrane was inducted on May 9, 2014, Gil Moore formerly of the band Triumph made the presentation.[14]

Canadian Music Industry Humanitarian Award: In March 2005, Cochrane received the Humanitarian Award at the Canadian Music Industry Association's (CMIA) gala dinner in Toronto during the annual Canadian Music Week Festival.

Allan Waters Humanitarian Award: In April 2013, Tom Cochrane received the award at the 2013 Juno Awards gala dinner.

Henry H. Knowles Humanitarian Award In May 2014, Tom Cochrane received this award from OPSEU.

Order of Manitoba In July 2015 Tom Cochrane received the Order Of Manitoba.[15]

On October 31, 2016, the provincial legislature of Manitoba announced a 322-kilometre section of PR 391, Manitoba's premium highway, connecting Lynn Lake and Thompson would be renamed Tom Cochrane’s Life Is A Highway.[16]

5 pages in and nobody gave the correct answer...

Those early years from Funkadelic, it's the greatest American rock ever. Just listen to Super Stupid, or Free Your Mind or just the first three albums... they added a bit more schwing later on, but it's the best rock band the US ever had.

Compared to Beatles, Stones, Led Zeppelin, The Who and Queen I'm kinda embarrassed for America. Put any of the bands that have been named against this lot and they are 6th on the list.
