The Great Canadian Rock Music thread

Post your faves.
I will get it started with one the very best, and a reminder of my high-school days.



April Wine - I Like to Rock

[fitzmulti]

Definitely, April Wine is a VERY underrated band.
When I was working in the music biz, that was during their "time", and even then, I didn't think that they got as much attention & airplay as they deserved.

Of course, people will name RUSH.
And, of course people would possibly never heard of KLAATU, but both of those also are 2 of my fave bands.

My Personal fav

[Sophie Delancey]

Rock and roll? Pfeh. I'm on (now and forever) a Joni kick.

[PR_Glen]

lots of good canadian music that is underrated. Seems like Rush and Neal Young get all the credit..

tragically hip, 54-40, our lady peace, the tea party.

I recently spent a day listening to April Wine Spotify. I think I heard a Just Between you and Me on SiriusXM and realized I had totally forgotten about that band. Some of their solos are burned in my brain.

I saw these guys a couple of times when I was a kid. Pretty sure they're Canadian.





Guilty pleasure of mine is Birthday Massacre.

Yep Triumph was Canadian. Another of the great 3 piece bands.
Rik Emmett is a great guitarist.

Tea Party and April Wine......yessss!

As a teen, I was hitchiking one day....and who stopped to give me a lift? Jerry Mercer...that was in 1983 or 1984.... I was so stunted...even if I knew he lived not far from me.
