Anybody into the band SAGA?

[The Mighty 'V']

Being Canadian, I know of a lot of amazing bands up here that really didn't get the recognition they deserve.. Saga is one of them... and one of my favourites. Do some youtube searches on the following bands and let me know what you think:

1) Frank Marino and Mahogany Rush
2) Haywire
3) Tragically Hip
...

I'd also add Loverboy to the list of great Canadian acts. New Zealand classic rock radio still play their hits on a regular basis, especially 'Turn Me Loose' and 'Working For The Weekend'.

Growing up just outside of T-O, I listened to a lot of Crowbar, Lighthouse, Thundermug (check out the song Africa by them), along with Triumph, Lynx and later on, Saga. My Saga intro was through a friend who was a huge fan. He played me their Audiophile albums, rather loudly, on his $5K stereo. Wow. An instant fan was made. Later, I saw a live show broadcast on Global TV. Live at the Metropolis - Montreal 1984. I found a youtoob link to that broadcast, but it's a recording off a TV, I think. Too bad. I'd love a good copy of this playlist;

Saga - Rock Etc 1984



Gotta fire up some Saga now. Been a while. Thanks for reviving the thread.

Cheers,
