Classic Rock

I've got like....all of their CDs and copies of their earlier work on Vinyl. They are two of the greatest bands ever, with COUNTLESS hits. The Rolling Stones 40 Licks CD and Led Zepplin's How the West Was Won are both multi CD albums that contain some of the best music EVER recorded. There are over 25 hits on 40 Licks alone. I love The Who. The Guess Who are good as well.

I like pretty much everything everyone else has named, but I'll add a little bit here.

REO Speedwagon's good. I like Tom Petty, Jimmy Buffett's style of caribbean rock is a nice change in atmosphere...though he's starting to sound country on his newest release.

Def Leopard and Van Halen are considered classics though they aren't THAT old quite yet. Jackson Brown, the Eagles, and I guess you could consider Fleetwood Mac classic as well. All great bands that play great music.

I love listening to a little Heart, and Joe Walsh's solo work was great.

Because... they are overrated. There are musicians today that are just as good if not better than the guys in the Stones. Maynard James Keenan is a significantly better vocalist than Mick Jagger.

hmmmm....true. But I wouldn't call them overrated. They have more #1 hit songs than most modern artists have top 20 songs.

A band's success in the mainstream is quite often no indication of their actual talent... How many #1 hits have talentless, crap singers like Britney and N'Sync had?

Frank Zappa, The Doors are the best classic rock even though I am more of a Metalica, Creed fan

Oh my gosh, I love you. 😄

I could not love classic rock, and classic rock ONLY. Yeah, sure....there are some good bands out there with some great songs, all of which 'fall' under the catagory of classic rock. But not all of it is great.....

And there are more genre's out there that have rock undertones and basis which give whole new meaning to the word "rock." You can find some great stuff with the classics....

But I wouldn't and do not listen to it ONLY.

Omg i love all classic rock...led zeppelin is my favorite though...i also like kiss, boston, deep purple, jimi hendrix, guns n roses, the who..and many more...i have been to see the who, boston and deep purple....please IM me if u wanna chat bout music or if u like classic rock....my sn is [email protected]
