1. Roller

   

   This song is very tight and features the best musicianship of any April Wine song, particularly the lead guitar. Great lyrics, great recording, great song.

   The first April Wine song I remember hearing on the radio. Maybe my favorite.

2. Tonight Is a Wonderful Time to Fall In Love

   

   Best April Wine song of all time. I saw them five times in 18 months back in the '70s, and I'm going to see them again tonight, Sept. 17, 2016, in Calgary, AB. I'm a little older, but so are they, so we'll all be better behaved! Haha!

3. I Like to Rock

   

   Great song. Great guitar and drums. I love the homage to The Beatles and The Rolling Stones at the end with the Day Tripper and Satisfaction riffs. April Wine knows how to rock.

   The "Day Tripper" and "Satisfaction" riffs at the end were obviously an intentional homage to two of the biggest rock bands of all time. Ingenious.

   You can totally hear the "Day Tripper" riff in there, but it's a really cool song.

4. Sign of the Gypsy Queen

   

   Great song, strong lead guitar, and perfect lyrics.

5. Just Between You and Me

   

   The song that had me thinking of my wife when we were in eighth grade.

   A classic. This and "I Wouldn't Want to Lose Your Love" are great soft rock.

   I know the lyrics are kind of sappy, but I just love this one.

6. You Could've Been a Lady

   

   Roller and this song are the best. Why isn't it on here? Anyway, it doesn't matter. Great song.

7. Say Hello

   

8. Oowatanite

   

   The intro is great, and this is such a rockin' song!

9. Like a Lover, Like a Song

   

10. Enough is Enough

    
The Newcomers
11. ?

    Caught in the Crossfire

    

    Not on the list either? That's a shame. It has a Star Wars feel.

12. ?

    Wanna Rock

    

    Not even on the list? It's a really good tune.

The Contenders

13. Future Tense

    

14. Wings of Love

    

    A hidden jewel, in my opinion. Another complex song that is so amazing to listen to at any volume. Myles scored a 10 on this one.

15. Rock Myself to Sleep

16. Rock N' Roll Is a Vicious Game

    

    Hard to believe this song doesn't have more votes.

17. Bad Side of the Moon

    

    Easily one of the greatest songs of all time, or at least one of the catchiest!

    This was originally Elton John's, just so you know, people!

18. Weeping Widow

    

    Listen to this song live and then tell me where it belongs on this list!

    This used to be my favorite when it first came out.

19. Shotdown

    

20. You Won't Dance with Me

    

    A classic rock ballad. Just as good today as the first time I listened in 1977. Myles Goodwyn at his romantic best.

    I've always liked this song since I first heard it as a teen.

21. All Over Town

    

    A great non-hit and a fine example of why they can't be judged by radio songs alone. My favorite band! "Roller" is amazing as well, but they're an album band. "Harder...Faster," "Nature of the Beast," "First Glance," "Electric Jewels," and "Stand Back" are all worth listening to. Each album is different from the others. "Attitude" is underrated too.

22. I Wouldn't Want to Lose Your Love

    

    Myles Goodwyn recently retired, and it's sad because of all he and April Wine have meant to my family! This song is wonderful!

    One of the best "sing-along" songs that April Wine ever recorded.

23. Cum Hear the Band

    

    Awesome tune off Stand Back. Best Canadian band ever.

24. If You See Kay

25. Anything You Want, You Got It

    

26. Coming Right Down on Top of Me

    

    This is a song that everyone should be able to relate to. Meaningful and powerful writing!

27. Before the Dawn
