Do we have any April Wine in here yet? "Rock and Roll is a Vicious Game" is the only one I ever really knew and cared about, but some of you guys probably remember them much better than I do.

I'm relieved -- I was afraid you'd be ill at the avalanche of noms. xp to sd
"Heart of Gold" is as soft rock as they come, but how could it be excluded?
― no matter how crabby of a mood I’m in because of the New World Order (WilliamC), Tuesday, 17 June 2014 00:40 (ten years ago) link
because it's played on classic rock radio

I don't necessarily want to nominate this, but driving through central Illinois last year I hit a CR station and they surprised me with Leo Sayer's "Long Tall Glasses (I Can Dance)". Hadn't heard that in 20 years at least.
