My Top 6 Favorite Canadian Bands

I love music, and I love Canada. So naturally, I would combine my two loves into this week's Top 6. Here they are, in no particular order:

6. Harlequin
5. Streetheart
4. Prism
3. Honeymoon Suite
2. Loverboy
1. Age of Electric

You may notice that most are from the 80's. Well, I can't help it. I'm an 80's girl and always will be. I don't want to go back to the 80's, I don't want to be the age I was in the 80's, I don't want the hair ~ well, maybe a little cuz it looked SO GOOD! I couldn't afford the hairspray though, let's be honest. That Aqua Net ran me up a pretty hefty bill back in the day. I just really connected with the music, movies and TV shows of the decade, and they will always hold a special place in my heart (does anyone have a tissue?).
I guess the question is : who didn't think that those Molly Ringwald films were really about them? Hmmm? Hmmm? Anybody? Bueller? That's what I thought.

Molly Ringwald , where is she now?
Luved her movies.
And the shoulder pads did make our waist look smaller.

Platinum Blonde!! How could I forget them! They are from Quebec or Ontario (the lead singer was born in England and moved here as a kid) Ok, they are in the top 6 and Age of Electric are out. Cheap Trick, unfortunately, not Canadian.

16 Candles ~ fav character Long Duck Dong. "Oh sexy girlfriend!"

Molly Ringwald was living in France with her husband (some French guy hehehe)for several years until they split up. She has been in couple movies in this century, including a hilarious cameo in "Not Another Teen Movie".

The Bay City Rollers were from Scotland. I did and do love them, but we can't claim them as Canadian.
