    • @DCoven
      @DCoven 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Actually, if people enjoy it then I suppose that's all that's important. But subjectively speaking, IMHO, April Wine was certainly not a lot more than a standard mainstream band (no offense to Canadians), but certainly they really weren't anything special. More in the same genre with Def Leppard, Triumph, Night Ranger, Bon Jovi, Foreigner, big audiences, big shows, big sounds, but entirely pridictable and boring. I'd put Journey in that group, too even though it had some the best musicians of the time. AW may have had fine musicians, but it's music don't not break new ground nor was it terribly creative. More formulaic, standard stuff for commercial markets. It's really can't compare to what Bands like Rush, Elvis Costello The Pretenders, Roxy Music, Lods Triadores, YES, ELP, Queen, VH, Pink Floyd, The Stones and the Talking Heads, the Clash, The Angels, and even ACDC (with Bon Scott), were putting out at that time (Zeppelin was already in a death spiral since '75). Therr is GREAT music today, you just might not be accessing it, but certainly The Black Keys, The White Stripes, Noir Desir, Portugal the Man, Spoon, Beck, The Killers, among many others. Very few rock bands have their zenith extend beyond 1 or 2 albums, and 4 or more is very rare. It's the nature of the beast. So one needs to continually look for new music and inspiration even if it means looking outside North America and the British Isles.

She would usually get hit with various objects such as clear plastic beer cups with a swig left in them, until she decided to get down, unless of course she was up there to show the band (and the rest of us) something more entertaining than the stage show.
