i love zeppelin as much as the next guy, but i think that while they are great, the slot of "best band ever" still belongs to the Beatles. sorry guys.
and as for mitchell, he's one of my biggest influences. his drumming was always creative and unique. if jimi's guitar and vocals didn't scream Jimi Hendrix so obviously, one could identify an experience song just because of mitch's unique style. and while everyone gives mitch lots of praise for his excellent chops in manic depression and fire, his real talent was knowing how to drum aggressively and not ruin a song. and when not to drum aggressively, which is probably even more important. he was a great all around drummer, easily in the top 3 of his peers (or british drummers around in the mid to late 60's, the other two in the top 3 are ginger baker of cream and keith moon of the who). spectacular drummer

Yea i agree. the Beatles are easily the "Best Band Ever" and the most important as far as rock music. and what you said about Mitchell is completely true. Ginger Baker and Moon are amazing as well.

The Who.

Remember? This is the thread where we name bands if we have nothing else to say :)

Huh? What are you trying to say?



Edit: I like the Red Hot Chili Peppers but they aren't classic rock.

Pop isn't really a genre

Pop = Popular

No band has contol over that.

^ We have mentioned CSNY, open your eyes, and learn how to spell.

[QUOTE=nananabatman!]Nah Tool's not even close to Zepplin but go you for the Genisis loving. I do like one band that's out today, anybody know Rammstein. They're pretty good in a german rave music kinda way. Anyway..............ouch my brain hurts..................................[/QUOTE]

Led Zeppelin does kill.

Rammstein was one of my favorite bands until I translated their lyrics into English. I didn't like that much. But they still do rock. :thumb:

Citizens of the Classic Rock thread. I have posted a new review in the Cd review board, check it out :)

is Dark Side OF The Moon really as good as it's reputation?

^No, speaking from man who likes Pink Floyd.

It's a great album, IMO, but Animals and Wish You Were Here are better...

many sources say its the best classic rock

^ Many sources go with the rest of the pack *winks and does that "chaa" thing*

i think they are a sad excuse of a "rock and roll band" and have no buisness covering a band as grand as Helloween when they are not able to pull it off musically.

[QUOTE=oldskoolsolo]many say that beatles shouldn't even be considered rock.

It doesn't matter they sound great regardless of what you call them, rock, pop, crap on a log, it doesn't change their sound, it's just perception.

classic rock rule......
but my favourite band is aerosmith. although they are labelled under "hard rock" , they are famous for their electric blues, which somehow is like classic rock.
few of my fav classic rock bands are: led zep, the who, blah blah blah

Aerosmith are indeed good. Oh yea, and a lil' off topic, im gonna see Steve Vai in two months W00t!

DVG.

that's three weeks for me :cool:

[QUOTE=B0nz0]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?

o and for u classic rock fans, the crime of the new century was that the Yardbirds new CD, Birdland, recieved no attention at all. that deserved a grammy, or 6.

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 agree completely with your thinking that there might be a revival. i just turned 17 last week, and for the last year or 2 I've only been listening to Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, The Doors, Hendrix, The Who, Clapton, pretty much everything you mentioned. glad to see its not just me. except my parents probably think i'm on drugs, but its cool.

i love classic rock it is the only music i listen to other then metallica megadeth and slayer.
i love led zeppelin, pink floyd, the beatles, alice cooper, van halen, kiss, jimmy hendrix, the doors, the who, deep purple, yardbirds, rolling stones, black sabbath, very little of ac/dc, bob dylan, bob seger, rush, eric clapton the list goes on. and i have noticed more people getting into classic rock.

Out of curiosity who's got some good old classic rock hair going on?

^ I wish. Mine looks kind of like a cross between Paul McCartney and post-'Brave New World' Bruce Dickinson.

heh i had classic rock hair, kinda like john paul jones early on, but i recently got it cut. hopefully a revival will kill off that nu-metal stuff. that would be sweet.
