[bad_cheque]

What's so great about Led Zeppelin? :no:

The Police is not a rock group. They are a reggae group.

Anyway enough nitpicking.


I think you missed Van Halen. The song 'Right Now' probably has the best intro ever!

[AFGHAN_ZMARAI]

Hmm my picks are

Nazareth
Steve Miller Band
Steely Dan
Billy Squier
Cheap Trick
Blue Oyster Cult
Rush
YES
Sisters of Mercy(even though they're not really rock , they're old)
Boston
Jethro Tull
Foghat
Judas Priest

eh all I can think of for now

.. not classic rock, but i love them.

[thebrownbadfish]

im with you ew.......

its sad that people dont know what classic rock is

[thebrownbadfish]

I don't know if they would be considered "classic rock," but I like that 80's group Berlin.
hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahha :lollol:

[=Surge=]

good choice of bands/artists

[thebrownbadfish]

Whatever. :rolleyes: Kiss my curvacious and "untypical" Desi ass.

I like them.
sorry but berlin???? sorry sorry i dont mean any angst

[the gothman]

this thread is awesome. I will make it my duty to contribute to it whenever i feel necessary.

[tootsie_roll]

i thought jhonny cash was all about country :neutral:

guns n' roses arent really classic rock......they are more heavy/hair metal but the arguement can be made

[the gothman]

i thought jhonny cash was all about country :neutral:

Cash was the personification of country music to many people around the world, despite his distaste for the Nashville mainstream. Yet, like Ray Charles, The Beatles, Bob Dylan and Elvis Presley, Cash is a musician who transcends genre. He recorded songs that could be considered rock and roll, blues, rockabilly, folk and gospel, and exerted an influence on each of those genres.

[the gothman]

guns n' roses arent really classic rock......they are more heavy/hair metal but the arguement can be made

Some classic rock playlists also include some of the hard-rock/heavy metal bands of the 1980s such as AC/DC,Guns N' Roses and Van Halen as classic rock; again, particular songs or musical eras from these acts may be more conducive to the format than others, and nearly every station fine-tunes its playlist by adding or deleting songs and artists to differentiate itself from competing stations.

yeah but my list i guess includes some of the 80's bands, altho I'm not a huge fan of power chords or 80's metal in general.. some of the bands were pretty cool.

[EwLookItsYou]

:rockon:

[thebrownbadfish]

Why, are they too fruity and cheesy 80's sounding for you?
yes they are....they arent original if berlin is good then all 80's music is good then that means we'de have to think that cherry pie is musical genius

[the gothman]

yeah but my list i guess includes some of the 80's bands, altho I'm not a huge fan of power chords or 80's metal in general.. some of the bands were pretty cool.

Guns n' Roses IS classic rock.

[EwLookItsYou]

Guns n' Roses IS classic rock.
yeah I kno. I just confirmed why I personally put them on my list..

[the gothman]

and how the hell did you leave out queen?

and also, you should include nirvana in there.

[harika]

and how the hell did you leave out queen?

ahh man, Queen.. there amazing.. put them up there..

[thebrownbadfish]

LOL, I never said they were genius.

I may like Berlin, but I can't stand cherry pie or anything by Warrant. :p
i know but i have a tendancy to over exagerate

[EwLookItsYou]

and how the hell did you leave out queen?

Queen IS in there. Nirvana, yeah I forget to include them.

[thebrownbadfish]

and how the hell did you leave out queen?

[EwLookItsYou]

queen was classic rock!!!!! did you know that freddy was desi??? its true!!!

its Freddie Mercury, get it right :P . His original name was Farrokh Bulsara.

Nirvana came fourth as a natural follow up to the Soundgarden's revolution, rehashing hard rock's deepest roots (Black Sabbath's music and the darkest guitar-driven sound of the Seventies) in a less oleographic, more calligraphic style - placing more emphasis on melody and instrumental skills. Cobain revealed himself able to rank with classic rock's masters histrionics, for both his singing and emotional guitar playing.

If you listen to some of the classic rock stations, they have started to play nirvana like there is no tommorow.

i think when we gett older nirvana would be considered classic...hahah just like 50 cent as old school

I feel that you don't HAVE to be from the 60's to be considered 'classic rock'. As long as you have the compoments, you are in. White stripes are a good example.

[AFGHAN_ZMARAI]

You guys are talking about "grunge" (what a lame name) not classic rock , classic rock is more about the formative years of the genre

[MrHarmfulOne]

Black Sabbath is the shit.

Do you like them with Ozzy or Dio better? Personally, I have to admit, Dio brought quite a bit more to the group than Ozzy did.

yeah personally I like dio's vocals better, but they both had strong rock voices

[anorexorcist]

nirvana is not classic rock, half those groups aren't classic rock, but most of them could be defined as that.

classic rock is a pretty broad encompassing label to be given to bands, you might as well give that label to anyone who came out before 2000.

[reaz]

tom petty? elton john? rod stewart?

the problem with the genre "classic rock" is that it's too broad. it encompasses everything except alternative, which is what came out as an alternative to classic rock.
