Lots of people did drugs back in the 70s, and I'm guessing it was so things like this would be more entertaining:

I banish your lies of the 70's, nyarlarthosemaj, with this:

The falsehoods you preach are of an alternate 70's universe, called Denmark.
By my banishment spell, you will see the truth that our 70's universe possessed much, much better drugs. Or, so I've been told.

RedPriest with the save!
And since we're talking '70's bands, just thought that I'd pass along that Rush is gearing up to come out with a new album, and the very small clip I heard smacks of their Hemispheres era sound (as had been rumored). If you are a Rush fan like me, this is VERY exciting news!

Stephen Colbert: “Really? That’s for children!”

Finally a new Rush album.
My ears can be at peace once more.
Now if only April Wine (the 2nd best Canuck band ever) would cut a new album. But even then, nothing will ever match their Nature of the Beast album. Here are a few of the songs from that album.

It's a convergence of random events in a controlled setting that forms the basis of a heroic tale in the minds of the participants. Powerful and primitive social magic that can't be reliably explained but only experienced. And IMO, a much more 'real' experience than the forced plot you see in most 'storyteller' games.

What, no "Caught in the Crossfire"? A sci-fi classic! 
I love Nature of the Beast, with "Tellin' Me Lies" being my favorite cut off the record. However, the second best Canadian band title would have to go to either Triumph or Saga!

Tried to find Caught In The Crossfire and came up empty handed.
The whole nature of the beast album was the basic soundtrack to most all of our cyberpunk and shadowrun games. Even used it a number of times with some of our Traveller adventures.
Oh and I disagree firmly... April Wine is definitely #2 on the the Canadian All time best bands list.
So There.

Hmm, personally I'd have gone with The Arcade Fire, or Metric, or maybe The New Pornographers, or even old '90s favorites Cub

Sorry Jerry, but you and I will have to agree to disagree . . . April Wine is a fun band, but Triumph blows them out of the water. Period.
And Trent, how dare you bring your sophisticated intelligent indie rock to our mullet wearing, air guitar wailing horn throwing rock fest!

Yes, gentlemen, these are fine bands, one and all, however, there can be no dispute that this is the finest band Canada's given to the world.
These fellas, very closely related to the above, garner honorable mention.
