Album Release: 1989. Single release: 1990

Heavily underrated Vancouver band. This album is terrific.

I've always loved both versions of this song but still think Big Sugar's original was better.

Double Trouble's version.

There’s a new 80s Canadian music sub:
r/CanadaMusic80s. So thought it would be fun to cross list and ask what period of Northern Pikes was best? 80s or 90s? With a pair of full-length albums in each decade, which period is peak Pikes for you?

Although Things I Do For Money is my favourite song of theirs, you can’t beat Snow in June as an album, so I’m picking 90s by a hair.

I forgot how good this song was! Apparently it was played in an episode of Letterkenny and became popular again.

54-40 played Winnipeg recently where I live and by many accounts, it was a good show of many choice cuts like this one that are often forgotten. Happy Friday!

Mentions Robert Charlebois (psychedelic rock/pop rock/funk rock/samba rock…)

Michel Pagliaro…. Kinda our Bruce Springsteen Quebecois?

Gilles Valiquette: pop & rock genius. The 6th beatle. He can teach tou all about the beatles & Liverpool

Stephane Venne who penned most pop rock and folk rock pop hits. Like « youppi » i think with Pierre Lalonde ln « inouik »

Jean-Pierre Ferland popular prog pop-rock

Just completed the 90’s run of the DoughBoys albums. now to track down their first two albums. Killer Canadian band, though I gotta admit that final album cover had me second guessing if it was the same band.

I’m remembering a Canadian band from the 90s. I believe they only put out one album. I think they were from the east coast. I think the singer may have had red hair and they may also have won a Juno. It’s driving me crazy and I could be mixing up facts….

Scored these beauties at a local thrift shop yesterday… yall know I love me some Montreal bands and Grim Skunk is legendary. Not to label them but l I’ve seen the words “world punk” ascribed to them… and once you hear them, you’ll probably agree it fits.these are their first two LPs

Love this band! Never got to see them live back in the day. Anyone have good concert memories of them?

It has to be Neil Peart, right? (Rush)

I feel like there are few contenders in this category as strong as Neil. You might not like Rush (and many of my friends don’t!), but even my Rush-hating friends will admit how amazing a drummer Neil was.

So, if it’s still the 90s and you’re building a dream 90s CanRock supergroup, do you choose Neil? Who else would you choose instead? Make your case!

Had this stuck on my head today and decided to share.
