Gwinky may disagree, although I doubt it (and I've forwarded this outrageous comment to Multo), but as The Hip's "Up to Here" came out in 1989...
...The Tragically Hip are THE best (if Rush is out of the equation) Canadian band of the 80's, 90's and Aughts.

PS - who did the GA parody of the "Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald" back in the day? That was epic.

I don’t think of the Hip as 1980s rock because I am old.
There is no contest between Triumph and Rush. With the notable exceptions of “Subdivisions” and “Tom Sawyer” (from 1981’s surprisingly Not Shitty “Moving Pictures”), Geddy Lee’s nasally whine makes me want to strangle the nearest faux Libertarian douchetard as he passionately explains how the hour-long* title track to “2112” really opened his eyes, man.
Didn’t Chevy do a lot of the song parodies?

Whatever. It’s Not Literally an hour, but you know it’s too fucking long, right?
