Bachman-Turner Overdrive / Street Action (1978)

Canada

Hard Rock, Boogie Rock, Rock, AOR

The band named B.T.O. on this album. used abbreviated. Maybe they did it because the album was bad. I'm kidding of course. But it's really not a very good album. It doesn't have much of a feature except that it has a better cover than the cover of the previous album.

The cover of the album is very good, but the album is not that good. It remains very simple and cheap compared to previous albums. A below average album. Adding to the archive is up to your liking and preference.

Bachman-Turner Overdrive / Head On (1975)

Canada

Hard Rock, Boogie Rock, Rock, AOR

After albums whose success charts increased, we can say that the quality of the group decreased a little with this album. The guitar usage and vocals that they used in their first album are starting to get boring with this album. The album isn't bad, but it's not as good as the others. Still, it is one of the albums that should be in the archive.

Considered as popular Hard Rock, it is the fourth BTO album that has lost its quality but has not lost any of its tempo after Not Fragile, which is considered their best album. I must say that it is one of the best albums of the group, which also showed up on the charts during its period.

Bachman-Turner Overdrive / Not Fragile (1974)

Canada

Hard Rock, Boogie Rock, Rock, AOR

Not Fragile is arguably the band's best album. It's tougher and more effective than the first two albums. It's melodicly exuberant. Bass guitar, guitars and vocals are perfectly matched. It turns into an enjoyable album as you listen to it. Perhaps the greatest success of the Canadian band. You Ain't Seen Nothing Yet and Free Wheelin', one after the other, are my favorite songs on the album.

An album that looks better than the first album. Not very good quality, but not bad either. Reminiscent of Creedence Clearwater Revival, Let It Ride is pretty good. This album shows that the next album will be better.

Canadian hard rock band Bachman-Turner Overdrive was formed in 1973. They shined with their first album. Not an ideal album for progressive rock listeners. For hard rock lovers, it's not a great album. Gimme your Money Please and Blue Collar are really good songs. A popular album from the popular band of the period.

Aaron Space / Aaron Space (1972)

Canada

Blues Rock, Progressive Rock

Sudbury, Ontario-based band Aaron Space was formed in the late 1960s by guitarists Jake Thomas, Dave Moulaison, Gene Falbo, and Bob DiSalle.

While playing as a cover band, as was the custom at that time, they gradually began to write their own materials and send them to radio playlists. By 1970 they had settled in Toronto to take advantage of the larger crowd. Shortly after, Warner Brothers representative John Pozer met the band and signed a deal.

"Keep On Movin", released in the fall of 1971 with Lisa Garber as the backing vocals, received good reviews. The song peaked at number 83 on the Toronto radio list, where it stayed for 3 weeks. Their debut album, recorded in Toronto on Eastern Sound, was released early the following year.

Despite the successful advertising campaign, the album was not a huge commercial success, but many critics still praised the album as a whole. Moulaison's lead vocals and heavy riffs and fuzz guitars in "Silly Ceilings", "North Country Rock'n Roll" and "Man In A Yellow Car" laid the foundations of acid rock.

After a series of short tours in central Canada, plans were made for a second album, some songs were written and some time was spent in the studios. However, with Warner's deals on the verge of ending, the group disbanded and everyone moved on to individual projects. Falbo joined Jackson Hawke a few years later.
