Well, I gotta say I love your case name. One of my top-10 favorite bands, Saga (also Canadian, which is a bonus) put out some amazing progressive rock concept albums in the late 70's/early 80's: Saga (self-titled debut), Images At Twilight, and Silent Knight (the last is probably their best album all-time, released in 1980). Check out 2 of their biggest hits, "Don't Be Late" and "Careful Where You Step", both of which were recorded on this album...one thing's for sure, their early sound is like nothing else out there.
