some that I know have a GW influence- Tragically Hip- they said they heard alot of GW from their older siblings. Larry Gowan- he opened for Burton in St Kitt's last year and made no bones that Burton was his idol. Gowan got up on stage with Burton and it was kinda cute to see them. Burton would be talking and Gowan would start playing a BC song like Sour Suite. Burton would put his hands on his hips and pretend to be put out. (cute!we all laughed hysterically!)Gowan also did a version of These Eyes on one of his albums
Cpolin Arther- plays with the Randy Bachman band- said to sound an awful lot like Burton
Eddie VanHalen is said to be a big Randy fan

What other groups were said to have been influenced by the Guess Who? and how can you get The American Music Guide?

It's online Hockeytown. I'll see if I can find the guide somewhere. It's where I found all those other artists that did Burton/Guess Who songs way back when.

Go to www.allmusic.com and search for your favorite artist. As far as the influenced by TGW, you'll find that on TGW page under followers. Another interesting thing to do is look up Burton Cummings and scroll down to the section of other artists' on which he's collaborated. You'll find some where he's done the keyboards or background vocals.

Just remember, the AllMusic Guide isn't completely accurate, so take what they say with some doubt if it sounds suspicious. For instance, they list Ian Thomas as a drummer and I have been assured that of all the things he is, a drummer isn't one of them.
