Being a Canadian, I listened to alot of CanCon (Canadian Content Legislation) music in the 70's and early 80's.
Examples:
Triumph
April Wine
Although, pretty far from Canada, those 2 bands were in heavy rotation for me & my friends in the early 80's.
Pat Travers has always been my favorite canuck rocker.

After reading this thread last night, I started listening to a few of these old songs on youtube. Somehow I worked my way to Joe Walsh. I've never been a huge fan and grew tired of his more commercial hits such as 'Lifes been good' and 'Rocky Mountain Way' but now I have a whole new appreciation. I didn't realize how great he was on guitar.
and Blue cheer, Fire by Arthur Brown If I remember that correctly it was alot of weed ago.
Any early "Mahogany Rush" fans here???
