You are the best in the world and you share with us your love, not only of GLASS TIGER but also a love of one of the greatest decades in the history of music.” Originally released in 1986, Glass Tiger’s debut album The Thin Red Line has become a quintessentially Canadian rock album. The lead single “Don’t Forget Me (When I’m Gone),” which features backup vocals by Bryan Adams, peaked at #1 on the Canadian charts and at #2 on the US charts. The album’s successful follow-up single “Someday,” went on to reach #7 in the US and #14 in Canada. Both singles won ‘Single of the Year’ at the 1986 and ‘87 JUNO Awards, marking the first time in the award's history that the accolade was won by the same artist in two consecutive years, for singles from the same album. In 1987, the band dominated the Rock Express Magazine reader's poll, winning ‘Top Canadian Group,’ ‘Top Canadian Album’ for The Thin Red Line, and ‘Top Canadian Single’ for "Don't Forget Me (When I’m Gone)." Today, “Don’t Forget Me (When I’m Gone),” “Someday,” and “My Town” remain the band’s top tracks in Canada, the US, and Mexico.
