Geez Bill, you keep bringing this stuff up, what are you, a rock 'n' roll guy or something?
We were living in Canada when BTO hit up there. My favorite album of theirs is "Not Fragile", still one of my greatest in my opinion. When you hear those guitars kick up, you just think of Canada, cold weather, mountains, rough voices, and big ol' beards on lumberjacks.
A rock critic summed it up best when he said that the song "Not Fragile" began with a catchy bass riff, then in typical BTO style, the guitars and drums pound the riff mercilessly until the end of the song, and it's brilliant.
"Taking Care Of Business" was never a favorite of mine, neither was "You Ain't Seen Nothin' Yet", but those were their biggest hits. Personally, for those looking for a great cruisin' song and love straight ahead hard rock, listen to "Roll On Down The Highway" at high volume. Canadian hard rock at its best.
