I'm finally starting to appreciate The Rheostatics.

I purchased a few of their albums a long time ago because of their association with Barenaked Ladies (during BNL's first few albums). While I liked a few songs, I couldn't get into the rest of the material. I recently finished Dave Bidini's book, and while reading about the band online, I discovered a free download of a soundboard recording of their final show. I think I'm finally starting to get it. Of course, they're broken up now. Same thing happened to me with another great Canadian act, The Tea Party. Broke up before I ever had the chance to see them.
