Rock Survey - Magic Power (Triumph)

Artist: Triumph
Song:  Magic Power
  
Video:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VwvikYBN28E


Quick Thoughts: Due to the resemblance in their sound and lead vocals, Triumph often gets compared with Rush, another popular hard rock band that came into it's own during the 1970's.  Triumph was formed by Toronto natives Gil Moore(drums, vocals), Mike Levine, (bass, keyboards), and Rik Emmett (guitar, vocals) in 1975.  Magic Power is from their 5th album Allied Forces (1981), which is often considered their best album.

Ranking from Original "Top 1000" List:  936
Added to my Personal List?  YES
Total Songs Added to Final List: 35

Having grown up listening to mostly hip-hop, R&B, some alternative, and all sorts of music in Spanish, I decided it was time to give myself a personal survey of Rock music.  My friend BJ Swanner compiled a "Top 1000 Rock Song List", aggregated from several "Top Lists".  As I go through all 1,000 songs, I'll be creating my own list, sharing a brief post like this for all the songs that will make my final list.   I will not be ranking the songs that make it to my final list.....for now.
