Whatever happened to the great nation of Canada? They used to give us great Rock Bands and Singers (such as Rush, Neil Young/Crazy Horse, Steppenwolf, The Band, BTO, The Guess Who, Loverboy, etc., etc.) . And now all we get is Nickelback, Sum 41 and Avril Levigne?
Canada is now a has-been Rock Nation, surpassed, I suppose, by the likes of Luxembourg and Liechtenstein.
George, I'm waiting to hear your explanation/excuses...
;-)
You also lumped Loverboy amongst the good. Nickelback is pretty much the modern Loverboy (although Loverboy at least has the nostalgia factor). They even have a producer in common.
Remember Loverboy's context. This was part of what came out post-disco. There has always been that niche for very commercial groups that may have had rock beginnings. Loverboy, Survivor, Foreigner, etc.

Actually I liked Nickelback's first album and Loverboy did ok with theirs. You know the old saying, "You have your whole life up to that point to make your first album. You have 12 months or less to make your second"
