pink floyd is cool , punk sucks

[QUOTE=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[/QUOTE]
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?).

[QUOTE=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:[/QUOTE]

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.

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.

^^^

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.

^ Dio?

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.

^ 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.

[QUOTE=badmoon349]^ Dio?[/QUOTE]

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

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.

can't forget jethro tull

^tr00 dat ;)

Hahaha, Frail you caught me. I [I]was[/I] 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.

[QUOTE=sacredrelevance]can't forget jethro tull[/QUOTE]

which albums do you like?

[QUOTE=badmoon349]^ Dio?[/QUOTE]

That's the one!

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.

^Bob Marley - Burnin'

The Grateful Dead - Workingman's Dead

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

I love classic rock, I am a 14 year old and my favorite bands are:

Black Sabbath
Led Zeppelin
Kansas
Judas Priest
Ac/dc
The Rolling Stones
Metallica
Slayer
Kiss
Soundgarden
Dream Theater
Ted Nugent
Jackyl
And many many more :thumb:

The Great Rock Revolution continues.

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:

Good to talk to another classic rock love but you can't just disreguard all rap music. What about the old stuff like Jurasic 5, tupac, run dmc, N.W.A, Beastie boys wtc... 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.

;) The Who Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin are all in my top 5 favorite bands.

I live in detroit michigan. igrew up on classic rock i started listening to pink floyd then to zeppelin yes seger and **** like that i would have to say at fraser high im the only one who likes classic rock. i would say that me and my two cousins are the only teenager fans of classic rock in southeast michigan im glad that i found other fans of it i thought it was diying out :thumb:

anyone fans of Ian Anderson's solo albums?

[QUOTE=B0nz0]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?[/QUOTE]

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 @ [url]http://www.johnlawtonbandclan.be[/url]

[QUOTE=B0nz0]^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...[/QUOTE]

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
and many many others

i don't know any of ian anderson's solo stuff. but i just got Who's Next. now that's a great cd. if any of u have the new one with the added songs, they have a second version of behind blue eyes, which i find to be better than the original. give it a listen.

and **** it, i couldn't get tickets for eric clapton. MY LIFE IS RUINED! :angry:

Baba O'reilly is da.............:cool:. And Behind blue eyes if one of the most beautiful songs i've ever heard, lousy limp biskit :angry:

Yeah what's worse, is that most kids here think it's 'such a beautiful song' but don't even know that the songs wasn't by Limp Bizkit. fu[SIZE=2]c[/SIZE]kers

Well i might as well make my way back over the yonder
Way back upon the hills
Lord i might as well go back over the yonder
Way back over the yonder cross the hill
Cause if my baby dont love me no more
I know her sister will

Haha genius, im in a Hendrix-loving mood right now

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 [I]Who's Next[/I] is one of my least favorite. Don't get me wrong, it's still great, but doesn't have a great meaning. Like [I]Tommy[/I], 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.
