"East Side" Dave of the Morning Rat Race (6 to 10 AM)

Oh, Canada!   Beautiful land, exciting hockey, and 80-ounce cans of Molsen beer!   What's not to love?!

Today...we're looking at the Top 5 Canadian Rock Bands Ever!

Let's get to the list, eh!

5.) Nickelback

Listen...we know that some of you may not be huge fans of Nickelback...but there must be MANY people who are.  How do we know this?   To date, Nickelback has sold more than 50 million albums.  They belong on this list.

4.) The Glorious Sons

From Kingston, Ontario...the band that gave us a whimsical, catchy tune about a sawed-off-shotgun...the Glorious Sons have proven to be a fantastic Canadian band.

3.) Alanis Morissette

Three words: Jagged Little Pill.  The iconic, 1995 album from Alanis became a SMASH success...selling over 30 million albums alone.  That, my friends, is HUGE.

2.) Neil Young 

Referred to some as the "Godfather of Grunge", declared by others as one of the voices of his generation, and recognized by most as an all-around, song-writing, rock-playing genius...Neil Young is a Canadian legend.

1.) Rush

Come on...we HAD to go with Rush.  An iconic fifty-year career that saw the band induced into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame in 2013, Rush was simply incredible.
