Jagged Little Pill on Blu Ray. Atmos mix is not bad at all.

 

[haikubass]

I for one certainly wouldn't mind entire albums by The Tea Party. If you missed Illuminations DVD in 5.1 dts, do yourself a favour and get it.

April Wine! I think Canadian...

 

[fthesoundguy]

Give me some Triumph please! Fight The Good Fight is such a killer song!

Chilliwack would also be pretty awesome.

The Klaatu albums would be pretty cool to hear in surround.

Ha ha, yeah I’ve got some old LPs of April Wine and Chilliwack! I’ll need to think hard on the Canadian thing, there’s still others for sure, just can’t pull it out of the old noggin just yet.

BTO??

 

[Clint Eastwood]

BTO??

That's a great choice...Not Fragile was #1 on the US charts

Hands down, a catalog covering better effort of Rush albums.

Something more on the lighter side....
I would like to get the first handful of Bare Naked Ladies albums in surround. Their first album was so clever lyrically and the music would seem to lend itself to a very creative and active mix.

On the wishful thinking side .....
There was a one album band called Boys Brigade (album of the same name) that would sound awesome given a surround treatment.
The band was describe as new wave and Geddy Lee produced the album. They were a six piece band and the album lots of synth layers and backing percussion.
Their minor hit song was a ballad called "Melody".

I wonder what Triumph or April Wine would sound like in surround. Maybe too straight ahead rockers?

Triumph as well....how could I forget....was friends with both bands

I don't think so. Triumph is kind of similar to Rush and just look at SW's A Farewell to Kings. He made a trio sound really great.

Don't forget Canada's most famous product, William Shatner. I'd like to hear his cover tunes in multichannel. Here's Bohemian Rhapsody, for starters:

 

[fizzywiggs41]

Neil Young all, plus his stint w/CSNY

Cowboy Junkies

Tragically Hip

Joni Mitchell , early albums 69-78

Crash Test Dummies

 

[privateuniverse]

Bruce Cockburn

Sloan

 

[LuvMyQuad]

I cant believe it took 14 posts to get to the Tragically Hip.

 

[Clint Eastwood]

I cant believe it took 14 posts to get to the Tragically Hip.

I guess we aren't very cool

 

[Circular Vibes]

My vote goes for Ian Thomas, brother of Dave Thomas. Take off, EH!

 

[humprof]

Bruce Cockburn

Sloan

Cockburn would be right below Joni Mitchell for me, especially the jazzy-acoustic period from Further Adventures Of... through Inner City Front. (Although if they wanted to start with something more recent, like Small Source of Comfort, I wouldn't object.) I've heard a great upmix of Dancing In the Dragon's Jaws, and I think most of the late 70s-early 80s albums would lend themselves really well to surround.

As for Mitchell: Blue through Mingus. But if they started with a Quadio reissue of C&S and Hissing, I'd be happy. Toss in a 5.1 of Hejira and I'd be over the moon.

Canadian prog bands who are not Rush:

• Klaatu
