Most people here and elsewhere are more than familiar with Rush, Max Webster, Saga, FM, Harmonium... some will know of Nathan Mahl, Pollen, Sloche... but digging deeper, there are a host of lesser-known bands that fit somewhere under the prog umbrella - mostly from either Ontario or Quebec but occasionally elsewhere. To get the ball rolling (if indeed this one will roll, we shall see).... does anyone here remember Zon? Toronto band who had two or three pretty decent albums in the late 70s... the singer used to wear a mask if I have my facts straight, although I don't think he was as theatrical as Gabriel or Fish. They may be known more than anything as the band who opened for Alice Cooper at the CNE stadium in Toronto in 1980 - except that Cooper was a no-show and a riot ensued. But they were not bad... likeable stuff, at the very least.
