when the Rock n Roll Hall of fame inducts RAP "Artists" into The Hall over A BAND WHO HAS 11 TOP HITS AND 5 TOP ROCK BALLADS..AND MATCHES UP TO CANADIAN BAND RUSH..SHOULD RENAME THE ROCK N ROLL HALL OF SHAME!!!!

In my opinion, April Wine should most definitely be inducted into the RRHOF. Their songs are such an integral part of our "70's classic rock era" and I think this legendary piece to that puzzle should be put in its place, recognized, inducted, and deservedly so.

Randy
Right on Randy! April Wine should be inducted. Great vocals and crunching rock music. Enough Is Enough, Just Between You And Me, I Love To Rock, Roller...So many outstanding songs! They have also showed a strong longevity. Musically excellent. KING

Bands like April Wine and the Guess Who should be in the RRHOF, I don't think the judging commitee looks at canadian bands very carefully, if Madonna can make it these two bands were filling halls when she was in diapers

April Wine has plenty of hits and a solid catalogue of good music. Being Canadian and somewhat invisible to the south doesn't help. When I see some of the bands/performers in the Hall of Fame and know that April Wine isn't; I just shake my head.

Jay Z and the Go Go's have been voted into RRHOF. WHAT! Really, you must be kidding. April Wine has an impressive 220 song catalog, decades of heavy touring. Canada's guitar army simply deserves to enter the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame. Check them out on Youtube performing Sign of the Gypsy Queen, Before the Dawn, Future Tense, etc...
Great power ballads; Like a Lover Like a Song, Just Between You and Me, Rock N Roll is a Vicious Game (It really is!). The Rolling Stones loved April Wine, so should the RRHOF.

The U.S. definitely missed out on this great rock and roll band!! Not sure if because of politics or just a music scene saturated with really good bands, but they(like the Guess Who) never seemed to get the air time in the states.

April Wine was a darned fine band, but they never had the few monster songs The Guess Who did, IMO.

Should have said 'is' above as they are still rockin!!! Hope to see them.

I believe April Wine should be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of fame they are really rock that's who should be inducted in that's what it was created for.

only a 7% chance yet they should have gotten in prior to The Cars who only had 7 studio albums

Anyone who thinks April Wine is an 80s band should check out their 70s stuff.

Nazareth should have gotten in prior to the Cars but 25 studio albums half of which are better then 2/3 of the Cars albums. Never saw the Cars live but Nazareth was great when I saw them.

Nazareth has 8% chance according to this website. In real life Iron Maiden seems to have the will of the hard rockers and I'm glad Judas Priest got in...

Thin Lizzy 32% up the Irons tied with Maiden.

Now my top dog is Uncle Ted who has a 14% chance according to this website. Uriah Heep 14% but should should should I know not as famous as Uncle Ted... UFO a 15% chance ?? FireFly and Sea of Light better than most Cars recordings

Deep Purple and Yes were on my list and they are now in... Uncle Ted has a pin ball machiene(sp?) after him but so did a lame band... Why do we care who he wants for president and why did ABC let us see him near naked along with saturday morning cartoons?

RiP Myles Goodwyn. April Wine is in my rock n roll hall of fame and I'll always love this great band.

April Wine has at least 3 songs that are Rock to the bone. I've been hooked since I heard them. Definitely hall of fame. Why even a doubt
