The regular season Pittsburgh was a once-in-a-lifetime debacle. One thing is for certain: the AFC Championship will be nothing like that game.

Has anyone else noticed the rise of Who song popularity? At sporting events now I hear "We Don't Get Fooled Again" or something, and it seems like they are in many commercials now.

Well, I have been hearing that song a lot, but that's about it.

I have picked up on that. I honestly can't say why.

And speaking of The Who songs at sporting events, Paul O'Neill used to come up to the plate to "Baba O'Riley" /random

They play Baba O'Riley a lot at hockey games. Same with My Generation and Won't Get Fooled Again

Why does everyone say that the darkness are bringing back Classic Rock, I think that Five For Fighting is bring back a Beatles sound. For example piano, easy riff on instruments, light vocals

The only bands that are bringing back Classic Rock are almost at the end of their careers, in my opinion.

for example U2 and the Stones?

[QUOTE]I downloaded the song Beautifully Broken by Gov't Mule, but never really went beyond that.[/QUOTE]

Ehh, crap song.

[QUOTE=rhcp_r_gods]for example U2 and the Stones?[/QUOTE]

I was thinking more bands that weren't originally classified as Classic Rock. Like Gov't Mule or Widespread Panic. There sound could easily be classified as Classic Rock, but they obviously don't make the required date. So, they are not counted.

So, Stand Up by Jethro Tull is a great album. I don't think their early material gets enough credit.

I think Benefit is my favorite early Tull album.

And I've never heard any of their early stuff ;) (me=aqualung n00b)

Yep same here :)

jethro tull is basically an unknown among young classic rock listeners. when they only know zep you can tell they arent really a classic rock fan.

down with emo

1. Very true.

2. Agreed ;)

JPJ: I got Birds of Fire to work again, wanna contact me anytime now????.....

I'm at my dad's house, I need to be at my mom's :(

Jimi Hendrix
 

Please, don't classify Jimi Hendrix as classic rock. If you go by the stations then yes Purple Haze, thats classic rock, so is Hey Joe, but its all bull****. Those are the only two songs I by Jimi on the airwaves. To classify Jimi Hendrix under classic rock just seems too, I don't know. To me, just because he played from 66-70, doesn't mean hes Classic Rock. Yes he is classic rock, but he isn't Classic Rock, the category. Jimi Hendrix is so beyond Classic Rock, its frustrating to see him in that category. Miles Davis played during the late 60's, is he classic rock? Listen to 1983...(A Merman I Should Turn To Be), is that classic rock? His finest work is definetley not classic rock, the stuff I personally think he would want to be remembered with. Jimi Hendrix is a blues artist. A bluesman from Venus haha. For gosh sakes he's more an RnB artist than Classic Rock. Thanks for listening, any replies are welcome.

Miles Davis isn't classic rock because he wasn't a rock artist, he was mainly a jazz artist. Jimi Hendrix is classic rock, end of story.

Jimi Hendrix is classic rock because he played a blues influenced form of music(called rock), in the time period we now call classic. Put the two together.

Yes he did play a wide variety of music, but, I would argue to say most of it is rock.

how can you say hendrix wasnt classic rock? because he played some blues? great. so did cream, derek & the dominos, jeff beck, zeppelin etc. theyre all classic rock. he was rock. he was back in the eral thats considered "classic". thus hendrix was "classic rock"

[QUOTE=jpjrulestheworld]Miles Davis isn't classic rock because he wasn't a rock artist, he was mainly a jazz artist. Jimi Hendrix is classic rock, end of story.[/QUOTE]

Yes, obviously Miles Davis was a jazz artist haha. But the point I was trying to make was that just because Jimi Hendrix played during the late 60's doesn't make him classic rock. He isn't. He's become this drugged out icon from the 60's with niffty t-shirts, and thats what makes him Classic Rock. Jimi Hendrix is everything, but to put him in the same musical category as the freaking Buzzcocks, come on. Insane.

Jimi Hendrix IS CLASSIC ROCK. He played blues-ROCK in an era now considered to be CLASSIC. And who the fuc[COLOR=White]k[/COLOR] are the Buzzcocks?

Hendrix was mostly strongly blues influenced rock. Blues was a big part of rock music at the time. This guy obviously hasen't hear enough Hendrix. Machine Gun, Vodoo Child, Fire, Cross Town Traffic, All Along The Watchtower, and most others are more rock than anything.

*blues artists don't use distorion and a trem bar.

OKay first of all, Ill agree, okay, I can see where Jimi Hendrix is classic rock because of the time period and all that. I tried to make the point that i saw that, cuz I do, but I don't agree with it. Zeppelin, okay yes they are classic rock, but Classic rock is such a vast category that you can fit any group into it. I think thats stupid. It describes the time period more than the music. Led Zeppelin musically is rock, hard rock, or what have you. But I think the term "Classic Rock" is stupid. Who's to decide when the classics end? Is Stevie Ray Vaughan classic rock? The local Classic Rock station plays him and hes a blues artist. It seems people like to put any band that isn't recent that had talent as classic rock. The Ramones? Are they "Classic Rock". Hey, theyre pretty classic. Hell, Nirvana, thats pretty classic. Its just a stupid term I think, it doesn't describe music at all, and is just an odd idea. If theres a good guitarist, hell, lets call it Classic Rock. Classic Rock is a term that the radio stations made up.

Correction, rock was a big part of the blues.

[QUOTE=jpjrulestheworld]Jimi Hendrix IS CLASSIC ROCK. He played blues-ROCK in an era now considered to be CLASSIC. And who the fuc[COLOR=White]k[/COLOR] are the Buzzcocks?[/QUOTE]
I wouldn't worry about it man,
The Buzzcocks are a very shi[I]t[/I] english punk band, if he wants to talk about the buzzcocks let him go to the punk forum,
I'd also like to say I agree with absolutley EVERYTHING you've just said in that statement :thumb:

Please go back and include my ninja edit.

:ninja:

No one is to judge whether something is classic rock or not. But, wouldn't you say the ones we discuss are a good guess? I mean, 40 years is quite a long time. Classic rock is technically the first rock ever made, which it was. Name a true rock band before 1950.
