You aren’t wrong, with the caveat that Rush is awesome.

Metric isn’t bad, either.

I admittedly haven’t been a big radio listener for almost twenty years, but I saw a huge difference in ~1997 or so, when a lot of Canadian indie started getting airplay. I don’t think we’d have Metric without CanCon requirements.
