    A salute to a Canadian band.

    We all know they were far and few between (not a real knock)

      I always prefer Triumph and SAGA as Canadian bands go. AW is pretty good too, forgot about them.

          lol, I will never buy from you again for that statement.

          These guys lay it down, in this song anyway.

            April Wine is awesome, one of my all time favorites

            I always liked this one, and the singer is wearing a Loop T-Shirt, that is still our local rock station.

              I'm pretty sure that I'm the only person born in the South that actually knows who April Wine is and I'm positive that I'm the only southerner who listens to them!

              *By the way, if you like April Wine and terrible 80s slasher movies, you should check out the DVD "Gutterballs!" It's a Canadian film that came out a few years ago that's 100% old school 80s slasher goodness with many, many April Wine songs on the soundtrack. Just so you know, it is very much NOT FOR KIDS!
              Nostalgia just ain’t what it used to be.

                I'm from Georgia and I've been listening to them since the 70s.

                      I said it before and i'll say it again .....

                      Best Canadian band is The Guess Who

                      They're the freaking Canadian Beatles for crying out loud

                          Hmmmm....

                          Rush? EEEEWWWWWWWW....... (Gotta be careful saying that; the Culture Police will kick you out of the country for not liking Rush.) Actually; there are a lot of good Canadian bands: Triumph, The Creepshow, Big Rude Jake, The Matadors, The Killer Dwarfs, Saints and Sinners, Kittie.... and let's not forget Anvil.
