OK, most of those bands are metal bands, so I can understand that you haven't heard of those -- but you haven't heard of RUSH?!

Okay sorry. I figured Rush was a given.

Toronto, definitely. Get It On Credit and Head On as stated earlier over on Rolling Hard Rock. They had the mid-80's classic rock sheen down to a fine art.
The first album by Teaze, at the least.
Teenage Head's premier disc. Very Doll's influenced, very rock and roll snotty.
Trooper -- the first one. Contains great hammerdown stuff like "General Hand Grenade" and "Roller Rink," about rocking on roller skates, which is mostly playin' and no singin', anyway.
And no one will want to miss Helix's Wild In the Streets.
And there's even a new indie film documentary on Anvil and their intrepid struggle in the face of relentless failure, perhaps coming to your town. At least LA, since someone wrote about it in the Times a couple weeks ago.

Yeah, that Anvil doc got a ton of praise at Sundance a short while back.
"Metal on Metal" is right up there with Razor's "Evil Invaders", as far as influencing a generation of Canadian metal fans in the 80s.

Another list: Toronto songs.
http://www.thestar.com/entertainment/music/2018/03/15/we-picked-torontos-top-100-songs-now-tell-us-why-were-wrong.html
I count seven that I love; I'm probably unfamiliar with a quarter to a third of the list, including the song by the ILM poster. By including the Dan Hill and Parachute Club songs (both truly awful), among others, the implication is that these are the 100 songs most identified with Toronto, not necessarily the best. By including the Rolling Stones, the implication is they weren't too particular about rules.
