I rated 94 albums by 29 Canadian bands, and other than Anvil taking the top two spots, what was also interesting is that just six bands (Anvil, April Wine, Pat Travers, Rush, Steppenwolf and Triumph) released almost 2/3 of those albums. I still have more albums to rate so the list may change (although I'll be surprised if anything changes among the top seven albums). By the way, if you haven't seen the documentary "Anvil! The Story of Anvil," see it.
Update: Two April Wine albums entered the top 25, forcing Pat Travers and Annihilator off the list. I also re-evaluated Triumph's Never Surrender, and I think the new rating is more accurate.
