Classic Rock

B0nz0 · 03-16-2004, 08:37 PM

ok ok, i admit it, i'm a classic rock nut. i love led zeppelin, the beatles, the who, eric clapton, the doors, and so on. most of the bands i listen to broke up years before i was born. at 17, nearly every song on my playlist is older than me. but is it just my imagination, or is classic rock experiencing sort of a revival. i am running into an increasing number of classic rock fans my age. at my school (an all boys high school), the school newspaper took a poll of everyone's favorite genre and band. led zeppeling got 5th and the beatles got 6th, behind that rap crap. classic rock made up a large percent of ppls favorite genre. is this just by me, or are other ppl noticing this too?

This is the thread for general classic rock discussion.

I have always been a classic rock fan. The first band I really liked was Led Zeppelin. From there I started to get into Rush, the Who, Van Halen, Pink Floyd, Boston and Cream. Now I'm more into progressive metal, but I still listen to classic rock from time to time.

yea i was worried that was just my imagination. o i just discovered a great classic rock band by the name of The Moody Blues. now they are good. check out "Nights in White Satin," "Tuesday Afternoon," "Ride my SeeSaw," and "I'm just a singer (in a rock and roll band)."

Yeah. If you look at any Van Halen, The Who or Zeppelin (my person 3 favorite bands) songs they are all much better than that one. And the guitar solos are better too.

FrailandBedazzled1979 · 03-16-2004, 09:31 PM

Jethro Tull, Blue Oyster Cult, Boston, Husker Du are also all great ones

but Rush is still my fav.

B0nz0 · 03-16-2004, 09:33 PM

well i think the best band ever was the Beatles. they had more good songs than any other band i've ever listened to. plus all the songs sounded different. no two beatles songs sounded the same. and while their songs were maybe not on the same level as say Baba O'Reily, Won't Get Fooled Again, or Stairway, they still outdo the other bands by sheer number of good songs. i would love to see another band with the kind of talent they had. maybe that's what the music industry needs to get off this rap crap...

chopsticks · 03-16-2004, 09:35 PM

I love classic rock...it's practically all I listen too...I have always been a classic rock fan...I think mainly because when I was a little girl, I would listen to what my dad was listening to...

I like stuff like...

The Who
The Guess Who
The Doors
Deep Purple
The Eagles
Cream
Creedance Clearwater Revival
Pink Floyd
The Beatles
Bob Dylan
WAR
The Rollingstones

and much more

I cant really judge The Darkness's skill because that **** video always distracts me. It's so annoying and obnoxious IMO.

RNR · 03-16-2004, 09:49 PM

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

.

I've noticed kids only liking popular and well known Classic Rock bands, like Led Zeppelin, The Beatles, ect...

They missout on some of the greatest lesser known Classic rock bands. Like The Byrds, or Buffalo Springfield, Big Brother and Holding Company, The Velvet Underground, Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young, Van Morrison, ect. Most of those bands were pretty big in their day, but the kids these days aren't looking for those bands. Usually, they are looking for the heavier, or louder types, but that's only the kids I know.

NakedRaygun872 · 03-16-2004, 09:59 PM

The doors are great.

RNR · 03-16-2004, 10:05 PM

Yet again I forgot imporant bands like Buffalo Springfield and Neil young. I love Neil young. I seem to forget everything that I really like until somebody reminds me

Badmoon · 03-16-2004, 10:06 PM

And of course there are more hugely popular Classic Rock bands that should be known forever. Like, The Who (My favorite). They make music like no other. Each member was fabulous, all craftman. Or The Grateful Dead, who defined a generation, and started a long line of San Fransico bands. Or Crosby, Stills Nash, and Young. Who in many ways were the American, more talented Beatles. They had it all. For most Classic rock listens, that band is usually over looked, and The Grateful Dead.

I recomend all Classic Rock listeners to listen to these lesser known Classic Rock bands

Buffalo Springfield, The Byrds, The Hollies, Blind Faith, Big Bro and Holding Company, The Mother of Invention, The Lovin' Spoonful, ect. There is just to much to name.

big80smullet · 03-16-2004, 10:06 PM

i love:
Ac Dc
Creedence clearwater revival
Pink Floyd (just got thier best of CD its awesome!)
Tubular bells!!!!
The beatles

I dont think there will ever be a band as good as the beatles because they had three songwriters who could have all easily been Bigger than anything before but lucky for them they were all in the same band. i dont think as much talent could be packed into one band nowadays. Notice on the later albums they all started to explore in thier own directions but they still made **** good songs.

RNR · 03-16-2004, 10:10 PM

Would ac/dc be counted as classic rock? They are one of my favorite bands but I have always thought that they are just plain rock.
