Bachman-Turner Overdrive (frequently known as BTO) is a Canadian rock group from Winnipeg, Manitoba, that enjoyed a string of hit albums and singles in the 1970s, selling over 7 million albums just in that decade. The band has sold an estimated 20 million albums worldwide, and has fans affectionately known as "gearheads." Many of their songs, including "Let It Ride", "You Ain't Seen Nothing Yet", and "Takin' Care of Business", receive frequent play on many FM classic rock stations.
The Bachman family name is pronounced /ˈbækmən/, and the band uses this pronunciation when referring to themselves. However, a pronunciation of /ˈbɑːkmən/ has become so widespread, especially on American radio, that the band no longer makes the correction, and both pronunciations have become acceptable.
