I am Canadian. Add our underdog band with the HUGE lightshow, Triumph. Rush managed to break through the American market, but Triumph only got a small taste by comparison. You can even take a sort of course with Lynda.com about what it takes to set up a Rush concert. One of the best Lynda courses I ever took just for fun. A lot of people forget who Triumph was these days. Nobody forgets Rush.
And then there's Max Webster. Kim Mitchell got better known outside of Canada on his own. But MW was really something that defied musical stereotypes (and arguably, the music was better). Closest I can think of for comparison would be Frank Zappa. Needless to say, nobody thinks of Kim Mitchell in those terms once he went solo.
In many ways we're similar to Americans. But it's easy to find areas where we really aren't.
Back to topic, I was absolutely a huge KITH fan. If you haven't seen it, wait 'til you get to the final episode. Hitler F*ing a Donkey was seriously shocking for the time. It would not have been allowed, but they were far from worried about being cancelled. It's the one KITH skit that is banned on YouTube! I've yet to see it again. It's exactly as it sounds. They catch Hitler F*ing a donkey. Also it's connected to the origin story of Chicken Lady. Pretty edgy stuff.
