hehe I'm listening to Jefferson Airplane right now...They toured a LOT with the doors in the 60's..

Grace slick is quite the woman :D

They were pretty good, but they really sucked as jefferson starship.

p.s Nice user name, speaking of which has anybody read any of morissons poetry? It's some pretty crazy stuff. He's got to be the person i'd like to meet the most, just to see what he was actually like.

[Badmoon]

CSNY Not exactly. Grahm Nash is from England

[FrailandBedazzled1979]

Queen being one of the best bands ever...just goes without saying. Even though i did say it....

:chug:

Queen are untouchables :) i love John Deacon :thumb:

[greatkingrat]

classic rock is great, my faves are queen, led zep, thin lizzy and fleetwood mac.

i think the reason people can still get into classic rock is because of the songwriting is so good compared to what we have today.

queen are the best band in terms of songwriting as all four members have written numerous classics and countless songs that havent got the exposure they deserved

[roughyed]

Ive never had so many people agree with me before :p

Queen Rock!

:chug:

[FrailandBedazzled1979]

^^^

which albums / songs do you like best?

[roughyed]

Greatest Hits 3 Has some of the best work.

And i like ALL of the songs. The Hitman + Princes of the Universe are my fave faster sings. Bijou and Who Wants To Live Forever slow songs.
:chug:

[RNR]

Yes quite a good band. From what i've heard anyway.

[PagePlant224]

isn't sad to see the poor state of rock these days with crappy band like THE DARKNESS just isn't anything like some good old ZEPP and Floyd

[brad01]

pink floyd is cool , punk sucks

Good, but i don't know about the best, the beatles had soome great songwriting going for them. The reason i say that is because technically they weren't all that great, so they didn't have as much to work with and they still managed to make amazing songs. However i consider all the bands i like to have excellent songwriters (why else would i listen to them?).

:chug:

oh yes, alot of their later albums had alot of overlooked gems on them. the only one i wasnt as big on was "innuendo", there were a handful of good tracks...but probley the worst of the era. Made in Heaven was just incredible, but im really partial to A Kind of Magic and The Miracle. :) i still listne to the early years more than anything, but i think Queen's sound in the 80's was one of a kind...they used synths to their advantage for sure and i like how they all wrote as a band, something not seein early on in the band.

[xenoeous]

black sabbath is a good classic rock band, even tho they are more heavy, they still existed in that time.

[VoodooChild]

black sabbath is a good classic rock band, even tho they are more heavy, they still existed in that time.

I enjoy some of their work, specially when Randy was still with them.

[FrailandBedazzled1979]

randy whom? Iommi was the only guitarist the band ever had. Black Sabbath has had over 30 members in the band, none of them having the name Randy...i think your confusing it with Ozzy's solo band.

Wow, I never knew they had so many. It reminds me of that tenacious D song that is supposedly about a member that joins after ozzy leaves, but i forget the name.

[Badmoon]

^ Dio?

[RNR]

Ozzy is the worst singer that I listen to. Ozzy would be nothing without idiot fans who are impressed by his antics and don't really care about music very much . I listen to him for Rhandy Rhoads.

[Badmoon]

^ His early stuff wasn't bad.

You have to think, music isn't all about talent. It's about that, song writing, expression, attitude, ect...

And Ozzy had some of that.

[FrailandBedazzled1979]

^ Dio?

Dio, Ian Gillian, Ray Gillian, Glen Hughes, and for a few shows Rob Halford actually sung with the band lol.

[FrailandBedazzled1979]

Ozzy is the worst singer that I listen to. Ozzy would be nothing without idiot fans who are impressed by his antics and don't really care about music very much . I listen to him for Rhandy Rhoads.

I do aggree that he was very much carried by Sabbath and by the members of his solo band. Hes more of a figurehead, like the queen of england...dosnt have much real power but the people would be lost w/out her...its the same with Ozzy, his voice works for Sabbath better than any of the others, even though Dio's voice is far superior, and Ozzy's role he created for heavy metal is unmatchable. leave it at that.

[sacredrelevance]

can't forget jethro tull

[RNR]

^tr00 dat ;)

[VoodooChild]

Hahaha, Frail you caught me. I was confusing Ozzy's solo band with Sabbath. Bleh. I don't know what I was thinking. Anyway though, I enjoy a little bit of Black Sabath and Ozzy solo but mostly because of Tony Iommi and Randy Rhoads.

[FrailandBedazzled1979]

can't forget jethro tull

which albums do you like?

[RockAndRoll]

^ Dio?

That's the one!

[RNR]

So i'm going to put a bunch of my dad's old vinals onto the computer and then burn them onto cds for easy listening since I don't have a record player in my room and I can't carry one around, and i'm certainly not wasting my money on all of that. :cool:

So far i'm getting...

Complete Jimi Hendrix exp collection
Complete Van Halen.
Complete The Who
Many Neil young
Many Cream and Eric Clapton
Maybe some Jethro Tull
Some Beatles
Some Allman Brothers
and a bunch more :D

Any suggestions for less known bands. He has about 700 records of 60s-late 80s classic rock and blues.

[Badmoon]

^Bob Marley - Burnin'

The Grateful Dead - Workingman's Dead

That's what I'd add, in your case.

[jimmydean]

Hi.
I read your forums and realized,"Hey, That's me! Every song on my playlists are older than me too!(BTW i'm 14)I am a very avid classic rock lover. Led Zeppelin, The Who, The Beatles, Pink Floyd, Rush and so on. I am also appaled by the rise of rap's popularity. To me, it is nothing but talking to an offbeat. What a waste of a good LP. Anyway, I just wanted to reply to your letter and let you know that you're not the only one. :thumb:

Ihate that new mtv junk all about drugs and sex and partys but the old stuff was good before the genre lots it's way. You can't be so closed minded.

anyone fans of Ian Anderson's solo albums?

[EddiePlaysBass]

so are there any other classic rock fans out there, and even if ur not, have u been noticing somewhat of a revival in interest for that sort of music?

I've been a classic rock fan all my life (though I'm only 23 :)) i have seen Uriah Heep in action like 8 times, and I met and became friends with one of their former frontmen. Subsequently I have started a fanclub for him, check it out @ http://www.johnlawtonbandclan.be

[JimmyP_Led-Zep]

^they have yet to prove to me they don't suck and gain my respect. and their one song is not up to classic rock standards...

I live in england and the darkness' album has been out for quite a while. You should listen to it if you like classic rock.but the solo's are all the same and I am very bored of them!

My favourite classic rock bands are...
Led-Zep
The Who
The Jimi Hendrix Experience

[Jimmy Page Fan]

Led Zeppelin are my favourite band even thugh they broke up 9 years before I was born. I only need one more album to there original collection and that's "presence".

I haven't really heard any of The Who and it's a shame because people say they're really good.

I love the darkness i reckon there hilarious. They have brung classic rock back in even though they don't fit right into the classic rock scene if you get what i'm saying.

I've got a band at school and we do a lot of Zeppelin covers even Stairway To Heaven and Moby Dick (including the drum solo).

Classic Rock is back in fashion trust me i should know i'm 15 i've told everyone at school listen to Zeppelin, listen to Zeppelin, but their all caught up in the rap scene aand it's irritating me.

I also love Queen, AC/DC, Deep Purple, Pink Floyd, Eric Clapton and of course Dire Straits.


Zeppelin rule!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rock On!!!!

Being a huge fan and knowing all their albums quite well, I'd say Who's Next is one of my least favorite. Don't get me wrong, it's still great, but doesn't have a great meaning. Like Tommy, it's gives a fabulous story, and is actually about the problems Pete Townsend was having. Very similiar to varous other Who albums. So what I'm trying to say is that it's great, yet overrated in my opinion. It's like a greatest hits album.

Dangit I forgot cream an Eric Clapton on my list. Oh well, if people call it classic rock I like it :thumb:.


dude, eric clapton and cream are one and the same, you are a classic rock poser my friend

[nrapyrodrumr]

and dude, why has no one mentioned styx, the ramones, the dead kennedys, the knack, cheap trick, S & G, fear factort, cars, the buggles, oingo boingo, or LYNYRD SKYNYRD!!!



(keep in mind these are not the only bands i like i still like all of the b4 mentioned just, wat about these??)

[Badmoon]

dude, eric clapton and cream are one and the same, you are a classic rock poser my friend

Excuse me, my friend, you believe that The Dead Kennedys are Classic Rock. I think we all know who the poser is.

[KILLthepoor678]

the ramones, the dead kennedys, the knack, oingo boingo he said CLASSIC ROCK all those bands are 80s punk or new wave bands

[RNR]

dude, eric clapton and cream are one and the same, you are a classic rock poser my friend

Cream was a band that Eric Clapton was in. Eric Clapton later went solo and had completely different songs.

Alot of those are punk and we have talked about lynyrd skynyrd alot. You didn't read the whole thread so how could you know? You also replyed to a post of mine on the first page. Wtf man just go away.

[poopasarock]

Classic rock days till the eighties is when the best musicians were. Now all modern music sux, especially emo posers like good charlet and simple plan, rap and heavy metal crap. Jimmy Page from Led Zepplin, Angus Young from Ac Dc, John Bonmon, Jimmy HEndrix Clapton, and NEil PEart were some of the best musicians. In my opinion, teh only good bands these days are the ones that started in the 80s like Chilli Peppers, Aerosmith, Rush, and AcDc. i listened to the "best" songs on the radio, none of them required any talent. Death to good charlette!!!

Umm. Umm. Wow... Learn to spell alright? And yes that is all true. ROCK ON! :thumb:

[Badmoon]

Aerosmith, Rush, and AcDc

Each of those started in the 70's.

And there's still good music, other than them, and what you named. That are here now that is. Like The Flaming Lips, Phish, ect...

[StreetlightRock]

^^ mind you poopas, I still like some metal, Melodic Metal to be exact, some of their music can be really beautiful. But the rest of the stuff you said is about right =)

DVG.

[Badmoon]

^ That is why I added the "Ect...", so the rest can be left up to your imagination.

[FrailandBedazzled1979]

Cream showed Clapton at the height of his guitar playing, when he got into solo albums he focused to much on the vocals and his playing lost alot of luster, though many good tracks came out of his solo works, he had some unforgetable licks when he was focusing on just being a guitar revolutionary instead of a singer/songwriter. thats how i see it.

[Badmoon]

^ You should buy John Mayall with Eric Clapton - Bluebreakers

It's an amazing album, especially for Clapton.

[FrailandBedazzled1979]

ill look into that one :thumh:

[Veteran of the psychic wars]

I don't think I've seen any mention of Wishbone Ash anywhere here. I can't be the only one who likes them, can I?

If you like 70's rock, this is a band you have to listen to. Not very heavy, more progressive, and is really great. Dual guitar leads, excellent bass work, just all round great rock. I recommend checking out 'Argus', (widely considered to be their best album). And the remaster contains a great live version of 'Phoenix'.

[sillydave]

Alot of people are stating how they don't feel Kiss were very imporant in classic rock. Kiss brought the fun back into rock and roll - an alteration of a Gene Simmons Quote. Classic Rock is not only about the music its about the performance. Kiss brought rock closer to being mainstream with its catchy riffs. You can forget Kiss, i ask people if they have heard of people like led zeppelin. They say no, i say what about kiss. They say something along the lines of "The guys with the funny makeup". I mean, how can you forget Kiss? That wasn't too biast, even if im seeing Kiss on the 8th of May :D

Anyway, as you could probably of guessed I LOVE classic rock. For school we have to do a speech, so I'm doing it on Classic Rock, more pacifically Led Zeppelin and Kiss (Stupid Time limit, should of seen my lists of bands i wanted to do :D).

Anyone a fan of Eric Claptons solo stuff? I consider it Classic Rock/Blues, A bit softer then most classic rock though.

I expect the kiss concert to be awesome, i bought a Kiss top and im getting my face painted like Ace Frehley :D (Although it will be Tommy Thayer at the concert). I was so ecstatic about going, not many bands come to Australia, and when they do not many travel to Perth, they all go to the eastern states :(

To finish my post off, Anyone own any cool Classic Rock music dvds?

P.S: Has anyone mentioned Guns' n' Roses? I consider them on the Heavier side of Classic rock, even though they have some soft stuff.

[StreetlightRock]

Heh, you got a point, kiss did have an awsome fun side to them. But i dono, i dont dig there music. And a kiss concert... That should be a Blast!!

Gn'r are a bit hard to really say... some say there a hair metal band, other say rock, classic or not, no idea. But i LOVE their music, so ill concider them classic just to have them in my avatar :P

DVG.

I really dislike their attitudes, they had a few big hits and put on a show and all of a sudden they start talking like they own the world, like they "saved rock and roll". Come on they weren't even the first to do the whole stage show thing, and their music itself is mediocre at best. If it weren't for their attitudes i might be able to stand them. Anyways thats my opinion, enjoy the concert though.

[RNR]

In one post you have posted more than I have in this whole thread :(. Well anyway you have a point. I however find their music to be average and in some cases annoying. I'd still go to a concert though.

Edit:To sillydave

[FrailandBedazzled1979]

Kiss are absoutly wonderful in terms of listening to their music, but Paul and Gene i dislike for how they have handled the band. Both Ace and Peter are good genuine people who happened to both get out when it started getting bad and came back for the fans and realized that Paul and Gene had already turned so many fans away. Its useless to look at Kiss in that way, their music is still great and their live shows are fantastic...get over the fact that Paul and Gene are a bunch of money hungry fools...at least they admit it, when some performers im sure are the same way but keep it under the hood.

[Badmoon]

Who do you all think is the most recent Classic Rock type band.

My votes go to The Black Crowes and Phish.

[jimmypumpkin]

The Darkness!

No, not really. I'd say I'd have to agree, the Black Crowes and Phish have a very classic rock type sound and attitude to their music. I also think Oasis had a classic rock type thing going on too.

[RNR]

Some are still going. But a new classic rock band... I don't know when any bands started so i'll have to go with Kenny Wayne Sheperd band. 1995 ;).

[FrailandBedazzled1979]

Who do you all think is the most recent Classic Rock type band.

My votes go to The Black Crowes and Phish.

The Black Crowes were a huge suprise in 1990. Sounding like a early 70's hard rock act, with modern technology, and a unique sound that was completly against what was big at the moment (glam rock, thrash metal, grunge). The Black Crowes were musically one of the most important bands of the last decade.

[VoodooChild]

Badmoon, I gotta disagree with you on the "Phish is kind of Classic Rock" thing. They did get the torch passed on to from the Grateful Dead (classic rock) to keep the jam band genre going, but they are not a classic rock type of band. They are a sort of jazz oriented jam band but still combing tons of genres. They are a band that belong in the now. Do you get what I'm saying? Maybe I explained it bad? Basically they are not a classic rock type band, it's hard to explain. I agree with the Black Crowes though, they are a really good band who feature all the classic rock elements.

[Badmoon]

^ I am not saying they are, but if you compare them to other groups now, that is one of the few that you can slightly say that (Even if you barely can).

[sillydave]

Phish is probably the most Classic Rock like band nowadays.

In regards to people nowadays only listening to the the likes of rap i think that they "aren't ready" for classic rock. We can't just shove Classic Rock in there faces and expect them all to love it. It should be more of an easing in process. Introduce them to a Rock band whos singer raps over rocking guitar riffs, with a thudding bass line. Ok, its not what we would consider Classic Rock but it helps them become one step closer to liking rock.

On to another topic, has anyone heard of the band Live? I quite like them, not really Classic Rock, but better then most bands at the moment. I suggest you check out All over you and heaven. Both pretty good songs. Kiss may not have the right thoughts in mind for some aspects, but you have to admit, there catchy songs and there ability to STILL be touring after so long is amazing. Ace Frehley is one of my favourite guitarists, and i loved Eric Carr and Peter Criss's drumming.

Another pretty cool band that you guys might like is Midnight Oil. Admitably the singer doesn't have the greatest voice but there music is pretty Classic Rock sounding to me, atleast some of there songs. I'll Reccomend 2 songs by them, Sometimes and My country.

Regards, Dave

Moonie's prediction
--------------------------

I believe soon enough laws will be getting tighter and tighter in the USA, and there will be a lot of controlling going on. Through this, Hip-hop, and other genres that occasionally use dirty language and visuals (As of now), will be frowned upon, and they will lose popularity, because they will be shown and heard uncommonly.

Soon, rock bands will be popping out of coffee house scenes, combining genres and making timeless music. Those band will speak of rebellion for peace, because of the on going war, and the goverment controlling others. And then rebellion for peace will begin. Through that other bands will come out trying to imiate the early bands, and so forth bands arise that have meaning, and much more to offer.

^ In very little detail


Speakeasies will be comon. You can relate these soon times to the 60's or maybe the early 20th century.

[sillydave]

Heh thanks, sorry bout the long reads. I to believe rock will get more popular. I know alot of adults hate rap and such, and probably that wont effect their kids. I think the main reason kids like rap is because it comes across as cool. I think though they need to be more open to new music- maybe reading up on the 70's- when rock was cool and why it was cool.

Your comment about combining genres is what i believe will change the music scene. At first a combination of rap and rock like i stated in my previous post. But then i think there will be some other combinations, like techno and rock. Basically rock which can be danced to easier then some of the rock we have experienced (well some rock you can dance to).

I was, well not exactly "touched" but moved a bit by and event that happened recently. My friends little sister (she's 11) was having a party, so my friend invited me round. About half way through there was this little guy crying. We ask him whats wrong, he replies there not playing any good music. Only Britney Spears and stuff, and no good old music like the Beatles and Led Zeppelin. (Ok he was crying about it, which was quite weird but you get my point). There is hope for the coming generation!. So we went to the DJ and asked for some AC/DC. He played a techno remix of Highway to Hell. Well the kid was sort of satisfied heh.

I think also kids need to go to rock concerts, to experience the atmosphere. I'm sure it is much better (and different) to a rap concert. I think this could change A LOT of views about rock music.

Edit: And another band reccomendation. Im not sure if you guys will of heard of them but check out the John Butler Trio. They blend rock, blues, and reggae quite nicely (not so much blues tho) and are worth checking out. They had a hit over here (Australia) called "Zebra". Worth checking out definetly.

[StreetlightRock]

^I've heard about them from a frined of mine... Australian band right? She says there pretty good, but their old songs are better. Aparenty they use a cool effect on their guitars sometimes by sliding a solid round abject over their strings and producing a really cool sound as well... I really must check them out, But from what ive heard...would you really concider them calssic rock?

And yea, ive heard live, good, solid rock, but i dono... a bit bland?

DVG

[RNR]

A big reason why classic rock was less popular a few years ago was because it was the "rebel againsted your parents time". If a person's parents listened to a band it was "soooooooo uncooooooooool lolz". That is where the whole Limp Bizkit, Korn, Slipknot junk came from. Now that that is slowing down bands like The Darkness are trying to bring back classic rock (not like the darkness is half as good as Led Zeppelin, The Who, Ac/dc etc...).

Classic rock will havre a comeback and the guitar solo will once again become a must for any popular band.

[MorbidKreator]

would you say the band WEEN is sort of phish-like?

[MorbidKreator]

sorry that was totally off topic...

[sillydave]

I'll check ween out morbid, they were in a guitar world magazine i have. Yeh DVG, the guitarist slides around with an object on his finger, gets a good sound. They aren't really classic rock, but you might consider them it- They sound like there influenced alot by reggae and blues, but they keep the whole rock feeling with it. Plus the lead singer has cool dreads :D. Anyway I think although the Darkness may not be classic rock, or atleast not "good" classic rock, they are supporting the cause of the likes of us trying to bring back Classic Rock.

Anyway DVG, worth checking out, not exactly Classic Rock but it sounds like it is heavily influenced by some Classic Rock.

Edit: Shortest post yet :D

at my high school everyone loves classic rock. the doors, zeppelin all of them. its so wonderful.

Okay, here I'm going to list bands that are lesser known in today's Classic Rock craze. Everyone who's favorite Classic Rock bands are The Beatles, The Who, Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin, The Doors, The Rolling Stones, Jimi Hendrix, Deep Purple, Kiss, Pink Floyd, and Aerosmith, should read this. I'm not going against them, I'm just trying to add introduce some more fabulous Classic Rok bands to widen horizons. Rock Not Roll, Rock n Roll, Frailed, Voodoo, DVG, and B0nzo can add on to these.

The Grateful Dead - A band that is famous for adding many genres to a mellow saphisticated arragment including intertwining guitars, dual drumming, and so forth. In each album you can sense a different influence, though they usually stick to Country, Bluegrass, and Psychedelia. A good portion of their songs are old covers, or written with references involving old literature and stories. They have been known to do long jams, with fantastic improvisation. Time period = Mid 60's - Mid 90's.

The MC5 - A band based on the ideas of a man named John Sinclair, who used the Detroit band as his voice. Their main purpose other than music was to preach the idea to rebel for peace. They music is fast, edgey, and sharp edged. The greatest portion of their albums are live, which they are known for. They supposibly greatest album Kick out the Jams shows influence of R&B. The album titled song also opens up with the famous "Kick out the jams mother*****r!!". Time period = Late 60's - Early 70's.

[Moroii]

The Black Crowes were a huge suprise in 1990. Sounding like a early 70's hard rock act, with modern technology, and a unique sound that was completly against what was big at the moment (glam rock, thrash metal, grunge). The Black Crowes were musically one of the most important bands of the last decade.
Actually, I always felt grunge was as close to a real rock revival as we've gotten in the past couple decades (other than a few bands here and there like the Crowes.) You can hear a huge classic rock influence in bands like Smashing Pumpkins, Soundgarden, Alice In Chains, Pearl Jam, etc. Not to mention the stoner rock genre spawned by it, bands like Kyuss and so forth. Both of these genres were heavily influenced by Zeppelin, Sabbath, Beatles, MC5, Blue Cheer, and the like.

Anybody here dig Queens of the Stone Age?

[VoodooChild]

Hey Morbid, you like Ween too?! I think they are an awesome band. Their sence of humor is legendary. Haha. Me and my friend used to pretend were Gene and Deen [/sad, true, emberasing, and lame]. Anyway, do you worship Boongish? Hehehe. What's your favorite albums. Mine are Pure Guava and The Mollusk. And I guess Ween is a bit like Phish, only a bit. They are also a bit like The Flaming Lips and/or Primus. Anyway, share your love of Ween.

Nice post (Van Halen could of... should of gone in the first paragraph).

The Grateful dead are awesome. I love any band who has many different sounds (no I don't mean death/black/speed/thrash/melodic/powerful destroyokilling midevil killerguy metal or any of that foolishness). I'm going to get deep into the Grateful dead as soon as my dad burns me those records.



Ok well anyway I live in Calgary Canada and it's a pretty boring city but a large one. We recently got a new classic rock radio station which is good. And get this... my dad could be working for them soon, programing songs :D. I'll post it if he gets the job or not.

Interesting that you brought up the MC5...I'm actually old enough to remember when they first came out (which shows you how old I am). They were definitely wild and unique, to say the least. John Sinclair was a radical poet/activist in the Ann Arbor - Detroit area...was behind a lot of student protests at the University of Michigan (and if I remember right, was one of the organizers of the original "Hash Bash" on the UofM campus back in the early 70's). He spent more time in jail than Courtney Love. And "Kick out the Jams" was like a national anthem for radicals. When he yells, "Kick out the jams, mother*******!", let me tell you, it didn't go unnoticed by the powers that be.

John Sinclair is still around...toned down somewhat but still kicking major butt when he has a reason to.


Anyway, here's my list - well a partial one anyway

The Beatles, The Band, Dire Straits, The Who, Bob Seger, Little Feat, Tom Petty, the Traveling Wilburys, Pink Floyd, Skynyrd, The Moody Blues, Creedence, early Stones, Warren Zevon, and Emerson, Lake and Palmer...

As I said, that's only a partial list...

[sillydave]

Mind if i add two bands?
Velvet Underground- Combining a very interesting sound, with guitars working well, and the singer has a pretty unique sounding voice. Some nice Rhythms, probably one of my more "funky" sounding Classic Rock bands, a bit of a pop influence and jazz influence if you ask me... there songs differ quite a bit You will like it if you like (in my opinion): The Who

Yardbirds:
Probably best known for their many famous guitarists that have been in there bands and the fact that Led Zeppelin were orginally going to be called "The new yardbirds", there lineup had at time Jeff Beck on guitar, Eric Clapton on guitar and Jimmy Page on guitar (not all at once mind you), Chris Dreja on Rhythm Guitar and then bass, Keith Relf with soothing vocals and Paul Samwell Smith on bass. Definetly worth checking out! You would like the Yardbirds if you like: Led Zeppelin, perhaps even Van Halen (but then again maybe not)

My 2 cents, sorry quite rushed if there is any mistakes.

EDIT: Anyone who read my post before my edit, sorry. I wrote in 2 minutes, got band names wrong, and therefore wrote a review for a totally different band which was wrong for it as well. Ok its partially corrected, sorry about that guys.

[zepphead89]

Um....I haer that that new band "The Darkness" is trying to revitalize the whole classic rock thing. It isn't working.One song that gets airplay on VH1 or MTV is not, i repeat, NOT, going to be seen again after people get tired of it's pop value. The only modern band i'm into(the White Stripes) had an awesome song(Seven Nation Army)and once it lost it's popularity with the people who only like the flavor of the week, it was never seen again. I'm fourteen, a classic rock fan to the end, and pretty sure our music world is on the road to be dominated by rap and bad emo guitar bands. :confused: :angry:

[ss454]

I think some overlooked classic rock songs are

Edge of Sundown-Molly Hatchet
The Cowboy Song-Thin Lizzy
Holy Water-Bad Company

[StreetlightRock]

Perhaps, but its not just, the Darkness, its the general vibe, i mean, take the movie school of rock for example, i havnt met one person who didnt like that movie, and Guns N' Roses released a new greatest hits album (not officially sanctioned, but what the hell), Velvet Rovolver may well revive the hoards of Gn'R fans out there if they make it big, Hell, Jimi Hendrix's cousin is releasing a new CD sometime in the next year or so, and i've heard him, he can really play (although i dont expect too much, after all, whats in a name?)

But you get the drift, i can even see it happening, alot of me frineds (girls in particular) are turing to stuff like Metallica and Led Z. Wehter they do it because its the 'cool' thing to do? i dont know. But the fact is, i think its happening, and i hope it does.

DVG.

Add some more lesser known Classic Rock bands :)

Remember to describe them if you do.

[sillydave]

MMM yes Velvet Revolver are good, as you said i liken them to gun's n roses. You guys have a classic rock station! In perth we dont even have a rock station. We have an alternative one, but its pretty crap :( One thing im starting to notice about classic rock compared to nowday rock and music with guitars in, is that guitars used open chords and bar chords when they play. Nowdays all you see in most genres in power chords, which have NOWHERE near the same "feeling" to them as open chords. Also, you dont see many songs not involving a girl, and certainly none in the likes of "Kashmir" or "Hey Joe" I think the reason is partially for a lack of creativity, and for the worry that they won't sell records.

I think the main thing that is needed for music nowdays, is the ability to sell. It also needs to have a "good" videoclip, usually a provocative one. This generally means, that it needs to be catchy, usually repeditive, and most music that is sold is by recognized artists. Not many people are prepared to listen to a new artist, or expand there horizons.

Would you guys Consider Bon Jovi classic rock?

Over and Out,
Dave

[RNR]

Buffalo Springfield.

Best known for having Neil young in it this band is what Neil sort of modeled his sound from. It's not a really loud hard rock band but not that laid back, good guitar solos. They had an album or two and then broke up to do other things.

[Badmoon]

Best known for having Neil young

Sadly enough, yes.

Neil had little input in that band, but gets most the credit. The main input was Stephen Stills, and in my opinion can blow Neil out of the water, guitar wise, and vocally. That's just my opinion though. Good input Rock :thumb:

Keep in mind I like Neil Young though :)

[Badmoon]

Would you guys Consider Bon Jovi classic rock? Not completey, but I'd just like to add that they are a great band, but get a bad rap because of their look.

[StreetlightRock]

Alot of people say Bon Jovi is 'Hair Metal' *shrug*

DVG.

[DISTURBEDrbl911]

yea, i'm 15 and i've been listening to classic rock for my whole life, i personally hate all those newer bands that are trying to sound all classic rock like and retro, because it just isn't the same.
my favorite bands are the early Zep, Skynyrd, Allman Bros, Grateful Dead, Pink Floyd, The Doors, Cream, CCR, Frank Zappa/The Mothers, The Who, Neil Young, some Kansas, Jethro Tull, ZZ Top, Steppenwolf, Beatles, the Stones, and i could go on and on, but thats all i feel like writing

[RockAndRoll]

Ok , pardon my explinations (heh, because i'm a french student i almost said explications, and then realized that's nto a word in english.) I'm not so good at describing music but i shall do my best.These aren't the HUGE bands but they weren't unheard of either so many of you may know them already, but maybe i'll post some good old canadian secrets later.

Supertramp: absolutely amazing band. Incorporate more than your average rock band, more orchestral/jazz instruments are used. Good for vocals and lyrics, but be prepared for nice long instrumentals and good song structure. Best knwon for their hits "the logical song" and "Dreamer". My recomendations (albums) breakfast in America, Crime of the century. (their music doesn't really sound like sopme will expect from the name)

Steeppenwolf: Here's a great sounding rockband, canadian too. Best known for their hit born to be wild. I really like the vocals with this band, not the most technically demanding but they sound great and fit the music perfectly. In terms of style there's nothing too standoutish about them, but their sound really is a nice one, band molds together well. Not hard rock, but also not as light as alot of stuff the band finds a good, mellow, yet exciting middleground (sorry if you didn't understand that last bit).

BTO (Bachman Turner Overdrive) - here's some nice upbeat music for you, somewhat reminiscent of the guess who (surprise surprise (hint: take a look at the name)). The guys have been described as relatable, just your average guy wearing their blue jeans, except they can make great music. And the relatibility really comes through in their sound, which is a bit on the lighter side, more upbeat, not soft, but light. I'd say it's some good easy listening, good picker upper songs. Biggest hits include Taking care of business, You ain't seen nothing yet and Let it Ride.


Hey, has santana been mentioned in this thread? his old stuff was great, not so much a fan of his new stuff, some if it's good but some is not, great guitarist though.

and just to see how big these guys are outside of ontario anybody heard of david wilcox or april wine?

[RNR]

Sadly enough, yes.

Neil had little input in that band, but gets most the credit. The main input was Stephen Stills, and in my opinion can blow Neil out of the water, guitar wise, and vocally. That's just my opinion though. Good input Rock :thumb:

Keep in mind I like Neil Young though :)

Yeah funny how that is... I probably like Neil solo a little better than Buffalo Springfield but he played a very minor roll. He just played guitar right? (taking nothing away from his guitar playing :thumb: ).

[RNR]

Alot of people say Bon Jovi is 'Hair Metal' *shrug*

DVG.

:confused: I'd say he's hair something but not metal.

[Badmoon]

Yeah funny how that is... I probably like Neil solo a little better than Buffalo Springfield but he played a very minor roll. He just played guitar right? (taking nothing away from his guitar playing :thumb: ).

Yeah, he usually played rythem, but whenever he wrote a song he'd played lead on it.

[FrailandBedazzled1979]

Alot of people say Bon Jovi is 'Hair Metal' *shrug*

DVG.

say what you will about the band and Jon, but Ritchie Sambora is a very accomplished guitarist. If you havent heard his solo albums (ex: stranger in this town) i suggest checking them out, for good Bon Jovi songs have a listen at "homebound train" and "klay your hands on me", very well laid out leads and a great strat tone.

[sillydave]

Thanks Frailand, so good having a thread to share my love of classic rock in :)

What other genres do you guys enjoy? I like most metal that isnt to heavy, basically megadeth, iron maiden, black sabbath, metallica, catchy rap and catchy hip hop (its catchy!), old pop and soul, some dance etc, some folk, classic etc

Im open to most types of music, what else do you guys fancy?

[StreetlightRock]

To frial: nono, i got no problem with Bon Jovi, Good solid music, nice to listen to.

Sillydave: I some trash (Anthrax, Megadeth... Metallica dont do it for me), Melodic Death (Kalmah, Children of Bodom), Oasis, Streetlight Manifesto, Dropkick Murphys, Some Swing (Brian Setazar Orchestra, Stray Cats, Blue Borthers), Matchbox Twenty, And old punk (Sex Pistols, Exploited, Bad Religion). Yea, i reckon i got a pretty wide range right there.

DVG.

no prob, i listen to classic rock as much as anything, but i also listen to alot of "symphonic european power metal", "thrash metal, "black metal" and basically any metal from the 70's-90's. I listen to Iron Maiden more than anything though lol.

[Badmoon]

Folk, Bluegrass, Blues, Country, Jazz, Reggae, some alternative,

[RNR]

Metal that is actually good- Black Sabbath, Metallica, Dream theater... Country- Johnny Cash, Steve Earle, Brooks and Dun... Old school rap, BLUES!, Jazz, motown.

I guess that's it.

[jimmypumpkin]

Not completey, but I'd just like to add that they are a great band, but get a bad rap because of their look.

No, I think they get a bad rep because of their cheesyness. I couldn't care less about how they looked, I just don't like their music.

What's everyone's favorite Yes album? I was just listening to "Close To The Edge" today and it reminded me of how good Yes were\are. That album pretty much defines the Progressive rock genre for me. There's not one dull moment IMO.

[RockAndRoll]

other stuff, a bit of jazz, blues, some classical, and some folk.

[RNR]

Jazz and blues are closely related to classic rock so most people who like classic rock like those.

[B0nz0]

ok sorry i haven't been here lately, been really busy. so anyway what have u guys been discussing. and are there any Sly and the Family Stone fans here?

[InVENTOOOR]

Among middle class English youths rock has always been the mainstream. However you still get rap and garage **** all over the place due to the massive amount of chavs modern Britain has. However, old school rock is definatly experiancing a revival. However the problem is the rock world is so divided. Theres so many different genres, girls who like good music are almost impossible to find, as they all seem to love corporate driven punk bull****.

It was an example

I'd give The Wall a 4/5

[B0nz0]

^ "Mountain Jam" on Eat a Peach goes for more than 30!!
when i saw them live they did a 45 min southbound. that was AMAZING!

The Who - Who's Next 10/10 (amazing, not a bad song here)
Eagles - Hotel California 7/10 (several amazing songs, but the back half doesn't live up to the first half)
Jimi Hendrix - Are You Experienced 10/10
Pink Floyd - The Wall 7/10 (some of it annoys me)
Pink Floyd - Dark Side of the Moon 10/10

The Beatles 1 15/10!!!!!! AMAZING!!!
ZZ Top's Greatest Hits 9/10

[thenannymoh]

I'm a metalhead, but one classic rock band that is often overlooked by metal fans is Supertramp. The albums "Breakfast in America" and "Crime of the Century" have amazing musicianship, and the songs are suprisingly deep and emotional.

[Badmoon]

The Who - Who's Next 10/10
Eagles - Hotel California 9/10
Jimi Hendrix - Are You Experienced 9/10
Pink Floyd - The Wall 8/10
Pink Floyd - Dark Side of the Moon 8/10

Well, if that's what everybody is saying you better not stray from the flock.

[jimmypumpkin]

"Who's Next"- 9/10
"Hotel California"- 6/10 (I can't stand The Eagles)
"Are You Experienced"- 10/10
"The Wall"- 8/10
"Dark Side Of The Moon"- 7/10 (I'm a huge floyd fan, they're possibly my favorite band, but this is possibly the most overrated album of all time, and I find it very boring and not interesting)
"Tommy"- 11/10 (this album is perfect if you ask me)

[Badmoon]

"Tommy"- 11/10 (this album is perfect if you ask me)

What did you think of the movie? (if you saw it)

My friend tells me it's good, but I haven't got around to seeing it yet.

:(

[Badmoon]

^ It's odd but very interesting. It leaves you wondering a lot, but so does the album. It includes each member of The Who, Eric Clapton, Tina Turner, Elton John, and it is supposebly Jack Nicholson's first movie he starred in also. I personally love it.

[jimmypumpkin]

Cool, I'm deffinately going to rent\buy it one of these days.

Yeah, my friend mentioned that it was somewhat odd aswell. But I loved the movie version of "The Wall", so I don't think that will be a problem.

[VoodooChild]

^ Hey, Voodoo, I just picked up Goo Phish the Phish biography. Have you read it? If so what are your opinions?

No, I haven't read it. I've read the Phish Companion though and that is trully THE ultimate Phish book. I suggest you pick it up. But anyway, I'll look for Goo Phish next time I'm at Barnes and Nobles.

Well, they aren't exactly Classic Rock, and yes they are fabulous and better than Zeppelin in my opinion.

[RNR]

Why don't you like them again? 9/10 people like them. It can't just be that you don't like Robert Plant's voice. None of us like his voice!

anyone like derek and the dominoes?

- Supposebly have a few claimed originals, that aren't original

- All other bands are compared to them

- I don't like how they play the Blues

- Supposebly satanists

- Their music, I just don't like it

- Are partly ran by myths

- Robert Plant's voice

- Their fans

- How they are said to be the inventors of Hard Rock

- How they are said to rule everything having to do with the word "Rock"

Have you seen their lyrics? Nobody says they are satanists exept for people who have never heard anything by them exept for that stairway backwards thing.

Otherwise that all makes sense. Thank you for clearing that up.

[RNR]

Cream - Wheels of Fire 8/10
The Beatles - A Hard Day's Night 8/10
Jimi Hendrix - Band of Gypsies 9/10

For that last list thingyamajigy and such.

[Badmoon]

Yes, I've seen their lyrics. I'm not saying they are satanists, but I do not care to dable in that subject.

[RockAndRoll]

- Supposebly have a few claimed originals, that aren't original


- I don't like how they play the Blues

- Their music, I just don't like it

- Robert Plant's voice


Those are the only real valid reasons as the rest are out of the bands control, but yes, those are valid reasons. (p.s it's supposedly)

anyone like derek and the dominoes?

the better question would be "does anybody not like derek and the dominoes?"

Jimi Hendrix - Band of Gypsies 9/10

???! is that a self titled album or what is going on here? Afterall the band of gypsys is just that, a band(and if it is a self titled album it would make more sense to put band of gypsys as the artist).

[VoodooChild]

- Supposebly have a few claimed originals, that aren't original
Don't believe everything you hear.

- All other bands are compared to them
Yea, I guess that's true but I don't see how it makes them bad.

- I don't like how they play the Blues
They're not the best but I like it.

- Supposebly satanists
No, just no...

- Their music, I just don't like it
I'm the same with The Who. I've listend to Tommy, etc but they just don't do it for me.

- Are partly ran by myths
Yea, I guess that's true...

- Robert Plant's voice
I like it. I think it's one of the more unique voices of music.

- Their fans
The TRUE fans are perfectly normal, the ones that have heard 2 songs are retarted.

- How they are said to be the inventors of Hard Rock
Yea, I don't agree with that. There are other bands that contributed a lot more to hard rock than Zep.

- How they are said to rule everything having to do with the word "Rock"
Only the stupid fans think that, smart people know better.



Well, that's me....

The album goes by Hendrix - Band of Gypsies. I don't make this **** up.

Okay just seems odd, want to give me some details about this album?

Yea, I guess that's true but I don't see how it makes them bad.

So, you can honestly show all of those supposebly stolen songs, and prove that they are 100% orignal?

And that doesn't make them a bad band, it just makes me get more annoyed by them.

Alot of them were "stolen" but i think it was more the idea than the actual song, i'm sure they didn't just copy someone elses song, they might have done variations on it though and called it original.

[Badmoon]

Okay just seems odd, want to give me some details about this album?

Nice and bluesy, great drumming, bassing and of course guitar playing. And there's one part on the track "The Power of Love" (I believe that's it's name) that just blows me away. It's to hard to explain, but I'll try. It's a part where Miles hits the snare a few times fast, and then Cox does a fast yell, and at the exact time the yell ends, Miles whacks the snare and pounds the bass. And then Jimi goes into a great fast solo. It's crazy.

It's done live by the way.

The band includes

Jimi Hendrix - Guitar
Buddy Miles - Drums
Billy Cox - Bass

Dire Straights. I don't like CCR all that much.

And I must admit Robert Plant has a good voice but I can't understand all of the screaching. It's like somebody cut off his balls on Houses of the holy.

god, i love classic rock

[jimi 91]

iam thirteen, my fave bands ar led zep, the hendrix experience,AC/DC, rush and ritchie blackmores rainbow there is no other genre like classic rock. I spend most of my time stealing my dads record/CD's, the thing is bands these days cant play their instruments half as well as these 'old' bands i have been playing guitar for just over 2 years and can play twice as well as tom dillong (no offence to any blink182 fans.0 and busted ought to be put in tiny boxes tied up with string and put in cold dark rooms with no electricity :evil: .if we start getting more bands like the darkness classic rock is definatly going to make a come back, im not saying that the darkness are good im just saying that theyre heading in the right direction.

[jimi 91]

hey lovly lil anarchist i dont mean to moan but half the bands you named there are new wave not classic just thought i'd point that out :D sor if i seam like a total perfectionist but i just like to spread the knowledge :D

[Carny1122]

Classic rock bands, in my opinion, are like Cream, Led Zepplin (duh), Jimi Hendrix, The Doors, the Who, basically anyone who revolutionized music when they were big..there are bands that are attempting to "bring back" the classic rock sound, like Weezer, the Darkness, Rooney, al them..and dont get me wrong, they're all really cool, but guys like clapton and jeff beck and Ted Nugent and Pete townshend, you just can't beat them...they revolutionized today's music

CCR by a mile. Though I sort of like the D.S's. I'm a fan of Bluegrass, and slightly Country, and CCR blend that will Rock perfectly. That is one huge reason why I choose them.

The MC-5

This is the thread where everybody names classic rock bands. Geez man get on the bandwagon!

[Badmoon]

Crazy C.R. n00bs!

[RNR]

So I was looking for an article on record players for a school project and I found this one. It's more proof that classic rock is coming back. http://www.thedesertsun.com/news/stories/national/1044492910.shtml

[Badmoon]

^ hmmmm I have a record player, and use it a lot.

[RNR]

^ hmmmm I have a record player, and use it a lot.

So do all of the fathers of time :). But the fact that younger people are wanting record players to play the original LPs is awesome.

Maybe we can have a repeat of the 70s in the 2010s :D. Ok i'm getting a little ahead of myself here :(

[Badmoon]

^ Lol.

Have any of you heard or have George Harrison's Brainwashed. Waht are your opinions on it. I'd give it a 10/10, it's amazing.

[Badmoon]

I just for some reason heard this. Jethro Tull's keyboard is now a she. He had a sex change :lol:

[lovely_lil_antichrist]

what's the difference, love? i must not be on top of things...

[Citric Acid]

Yeah, classic rock is gaining popularity in our school Id like to say my band has soemthing to do with it, but I dont wanna sound conceited. Im attempting to spread the gospel of classic rock. Im burning people CDs of classic rock songs and exchanging them for a CD with their music that they burn me. Im hopin people will begin to appreciate music more.

[johnnyaddiction]

Did anyone mention the band Yes? Yes is awesome, just saw them in concert last Sunday...

But anyways, I don't really see it gaining very much popularity. I think it's always been the same - teenagers like [c]rap. This is coming from a 13 year old girl. Hells yes. Me and a few close friends absolutely love Led Zeppelin, Rolling Stones, The Who, Yes, Deep Purple, Jefferson Aiplane, The Eagles, Van Halen, Lynard Synard, etc. But other than my friends, nobody around here seems to dig classic rock (except our parents haha).

Oh and one more thing - 13th Floor Elevator (in my opinion) had that psychadelic rock sound before Zeppelin - in 1965. I think Zeppelin perfected it...

[FrailandBedazzled1979]

I just for some reason heard this. Jethro Tull's keyboard is now a she. He had a sex change :lol:

i read about that. fortunatly, Ian Anderson is a compationate man and dosent look down upon him, umm i mean her, for this and will continue with her in the lineup and their friendship, which i like to see. J-tull are untouchable, i simply adore them :)

Led Zeppelin was barely Psychedelic rock. Nor did they perfect it, and nor did 13th.

The perfectionists of that sub-genre are The Velvet Underground, no doubt.

I love this album. When people talk about George they only mention All Things Must Pass . I think this album is super-underrated. My favorite songs are probably "Stuck Inside a Cloud", "Rocking Chair in Hawaii" and well... basically I love every song. Badmoon, thanks for bringing this up. 9.5/10

Ok, I mentioned this band before, but not one other person has mentioned anything about them here.

Am I really the *only* one here who loves Wishbone Ash?
If you like classic rock, and you haven't heard 'Argus' yet, you are missing out on something awesome.

[B0nz0]

i never heard of him before. but what are ur opinions on steve miller. i love that song "the joker" it's been stuck in my head for a week.
abrakadabra annoys me, but go on take the money and run is awesome, as is jungle love. fly like an eagle and swingtown are also personal favorites. opinions?

i beleive Andy Geddings is the most recent keyboards player in J-tull, hired in 1992 i think.

my favorite jethro tull song is def "thick as a brick." quite a unique song, very creative. and it changes completely too many times to count.

yeah, thus the reason i dont listen to that album much lol. i have to be in the mood to sit through it. i prefer their "folky" era (songs from the wood, a minstrel in the gallery, heavy horses) above anything else...right now my favourite song by them is probley off "stand up" titled "a reason for waiting".

[B0nz0]

i really do like aqualung as well.

Steve miller's good, not one of my favourites but still good, i like the songs you mentioned.

What about marley, not exactly classic rock but he fits.

rocknotroll, where do you live?

Favourite tull song? hmmm, my god and hymn 43 come to mind, listenend to one after the other ofcourse.

[Badmoon]

^ Marley's fabulous. So emotional, which makes up for for skill, because he's not the great of a musician.

[cameroncrowder]

Classic rock is awesome I am only 15 and i used to be a big punk fan and now i have found myself listening to Zepplin and Pink Floyd all the time

[StreetlightRock]

No Woman no Cry... Ahhh...

^Good on you!

RIP Marley

[someone stole my identity!]

yeah marley's stuff is excellent. but i love led zeppelin pink floyd zz top rush cream deep purple et al

As was said before a lot, classic rock is awesome. I started out with the Floyd then expanded to The Doors, Zeppelin, BOC, Beatles etc.

[jimmydean]

Jackyl is a great classic rock band

No they're still at the Classic Rock Seminar, when they start liking more unknown C.R. bands then they're converted.

[slash_and_perry]

My favorites are Aerosmith, Guns N' Roses, The Who, and The Scorpions.
I don't think that Aerrosmith gets a lot of recognition, I think that most people kind of take them for granted, but they freaking rock......even today!

^ Welcome :wave:

Today I finally bought Hot Rats.

I like it, it's got Beefheart, which is always good, nobody can sing like he can (With the exception of Howlin' Wolf). Some great guitar playing, and a great production. Which is sometimes good, sometimes bad. Now, the one thing I don't like about it is that it's Zappa'a first album without The Mothers of Invention. With The Mothers, Frank was a lot more humorous, and the music was so much more creative, though he's still very creative without them.

I give it a 9.9/10


Give your ratings.

I just went to a Kiss a concert ( a week ago) ****! so good! They had Allegiance, MGF and Grinspoon playing with them. Alliegence sound like Metallica, pretty awesome. MGF are just such great performers. Grinspoon have always been a pretty cool band, and didn't dissapoint. Then Kiss came on. So **** awesome! They made a few mistakes granted, but they are getting old. Go see them! On a different note im waiting for another cool band to come to perth :(

[FrailandBedazzled1979]

YES YES YES!!!! Kiss, im so diehard about Kiss its not even funny lol. Im making a custom Ace Frehley outfit for the show im going to in June (my third Kiss show!) Kiss put on the best stage show ive ever seen and not to forget some of rocks best sing-along-anthems!!! im glad you loved it!!
