42. Slow, Genre (Punk Rock/Proto Grunge/Hardcore) British Columbia Canada era, 80's

The Diodes, Genre (Punk Rock/New Wave) Ontario Canada, era 70's

Slow:

So I guess I shall go on record by stating that this is my favourite Canadian punk band of all time. One of those bands that have obtained legendary underground status in my country, but who remain an obscurity abroad.

They only ever released a 6 inch and a few singles, but they were so good they began attracting the majors, who felt they would be the next big thing, (often touted as the Nirvana that never was) but consequently imploded only to become a mere footnote in musical history. They're often labelled as proto grunge for the influence they had on the Seattle scene. To me they're just straight up punk rock.

Anyways this entry should make Bastard of Young happy.
