Tom Cochrane and Red Rider are one of my favs. Lots of great songs from him like Ocean Blues, Citizen Cane, Victory Day, The Untouchable One, Calling America. Not as well known South of the 49th, But he was and still is a great Rock artist. Check him out if you're not familiar with him and Red Rider(his band in the earlier days).
Saw those cats open up for U2 back in high school.
