Thanks for playing Sloan. They’re a Canadian gem that never quite hit in the U.S., but we probably love them even more for it. Their second album, Twice Removed is a pop rock classic, a mainstay on Cdn top 10 lists.
New to me. This SHOULD have been a hit in the US.





Sounds like you need a life:)
They have both in the U.S. as well!

Not sure why they never "broke big" despite several hits. There was of course a joke around that the band was named after a porcelain urinal manufacturing company ...
Perfect start to Spring
Amen! A treasure of a Canadian band. IMO One Chord to Another is one of the best indie rock albums I've ever heard - rockin', smart, layered. It's so ironic that Geffen dropped them (hoping they would be another Seattle pop-punk band) after Twice Removed, which has turned out to be a classic of indie pop-rock and is always in the top 5 of any Canadian albums list.
Great story!
Terrific band.
Terrific band.

I tried uploading a new one and got an insta-sorry. Thought it was a shoe-in; they have some great poppy rock songs but, alas, not on RP.

Wonderful band with a terrific back catalog.
New album coming out soon also.
I hear Ray Wylie Hubbard too and yes, that does sound like Manzarek on organ. Mark Knopfler (aka Bill's brother from another mother) is off napping...
What, because they have an organ? Wannabe Doors would have to sound at least vaguely Morrisonesque on vocals. Not this.

Sounds Like T-Bone Burnett from Proof through the night.
I could listen to this more...
They're big in Canada, but have had a hard time breaking the US market.
Are they big in Kenya?
Please play more!

Terrific back catalog with lots and lots of great songs.
So why nothing besides this song in the RP library? I like this tune, but will remain suspicious of others they've done.
I was wondering if anyone else heard traces of Timbuk 3.

Not at all - give them a listen. They have several sounds, and much of what they do is tongue-in-cheek. I really like Action Pact and Pretty Together.
Booker T meets Bob Seager meets Syntax.
Rockin!!
Lee Michaels anyone?
great line.
They are of course pretty well known in Canada
Well ozzie1313, it sounds like we got us a demographic going. I did my first marathon at 50, and now at 56 I'm also in my last semester of graduate school. And once again working away on a Saturday night to finish off a paper (grumble, gripe)... The only thing that keeps me groovin' through these papers is the cool beat of RP. Cheers
Love it!
x3
rock on ozzie1313, I just a few steps behind you and pushing from behind. RP is the soundtrack of my life. so good

You know Cy, that is is very intesting comment. I really think you said that propperly, and without any gramatical error.
Yes, love organs in rock. Add Traffic, the Allman Bros, Brian Auger, Deep Purple.
This is great on first listen. Love the intro.
8 on first listen.
Long live RP!

EDIT: Well, I did it. If I regret it in the morning, it'll be no more than the regret for drinking too much rum.
And finally on RP! Yes!7 => 8
bond is good, anyway!
edit: all music sounds better after midnight.......less noise on the grid and alll ![]()

Good energy here. I dig. 9
Agree 100%!!

That's what I heard in the organ as well.
These guys have been around forever (not a bad thing.....always liked their stuff)
I am disappointed I had to hear this cut on RP instead of the CBC .....kudos RP
This is a very strong single from the new CD
Ironically, it seems that Bill plays more, and better, Canadian Content (TM) than the Canadian stations that are legally required to do so...
Disappointing indeed, but glad RP is around.
Most chances it's after E's hot girlfriend in entourage

I highly recommend that you dig into their discography. Each member of the band writes and sings his own compositions, making for an interesting and varied catalogue.

This is sooooo cooolll. I uploaded this song to the LRC last week and it was added to the playlist immediately
I am so used of having my uploads rejected, without ever knowing why.
Great song
One of my favorite bands.
Wonderful to hear them on RP.
Great melodies, soaring harmonies and crunchy guitars....





New to me. This SHOULD have been a hit in the US.
I Agree completely. Thanx RP!
