Anvil! The Story of Anvil Might be one of the best rock docs out there. Many say they were the influence for the movie Spinal Tap. Great Canadian rock lore.

I appreciate your effort but there’s a few one-and-done’s in that list of yours.

Flock of Seagulls

Was just reading about Markstrom . Pretty much stuff we have all heard him say before. He said he wants to finish his career as a Canuck. Benning says he wants him here and they both say we just have to wait for the final Cap announcement.

I say it will be 5 mil.

I also read from a unreliable source that Petriangelo will sign with Leafs . I can actually see this happening. He will return home to try to get that long awaited cup

I could see him taking 5 on a long deal. How old is he, 28 ish? 6 years?

You're getting carried away. We're talking about lame bands.
Listen to "Stoned and Dethroned" and come back an apologize.

Oh, sorry, I was thinking it was ‘80’s Banda that could be confused for metal.


Frankie Goes to Hollywood. Better?

That would definitely be a home town discount under normal circumstances. Now, maybe it’s the actual reality of the market.

I think it is going to be the reality of the market. I see the cap being flat for more than one year.

I think the 4 million dollar contracts for Codi Cici are a thing of the past.

There will be a lot of free agents hoping to make 3 mil this year so it will be a buyers market.

Sounds like a number of players from different teams around the league have been told to be back in their respective cities no later than mid-May. Not sure how this works but some maybe be doing “informal” skates in late May early June leading into a possible NHL camp.

You said Queen twice, also, not really “metal”, nor was Boston. Plus I don’t think you could rattle off another 100 “good” metal bands from the 80’s.
- 1970vintage

Their first album was really heavy. But Queen was a 70's band.

Definitely heavier but not heavy metal. Aerosmith was very similar. Heavy rock beginnings but I wouldn’t call them heavy metal.

But if your going to include Boston, then you need to include Dead or Alive, A-Ha, The Cars, Culture Club etc...

I think the seed was planted for Glam Metal with this particular album though. It was a lot heavier than most of what was going on at the time. (1973)

Some good news if you are looking for some.

Of every jurisdiction in the United States, Canada and western Europe with more than five million people, B.C. has the fewest deaths adjusted for population.

Really? I’m thinking bands like Kiss and Judas Priest were much more influential on glam metal than Queen ever were.

I always put Queen in their own category.

Anyway, I was too busy listening to Lynyrd Skynyrd's "One More From the Road" while pounding Extra old Stock and smoking endless joints of Columbian Gold or Mexican Red Hair.

(frank)ing love Bronski Beat! Murray Head One Night in Bangkok anyone?

I love 80’s music, but it was bad, real bad.

Blancmange, underrated 80's band

- bloatedmosquito

Yeah, really. I don't consider Priest to be glam. Kiss was still cutting their teeth when Queen's first album came out. It's just my personal opinion, but Queen certainly pushed the paradigm toward what 80's hair and glam became.

I'm reluctant to interrupt the 80s music talk — a subject I very much enjoy.

I wrap up with some thoughts on another 80s band, the Beastie Boys, after a bunch of hockey talk in the new blog...
