I sure do. I know deep inside Newschooler's WuTang/Method Man population, there are a few people out there that still enjoy classic rock. Share favorite bands/artists, songs, or albums.

Top 10 Bands:

1. The Who
2. The Rolling Stones
3. Led Zeppelin
4. Jimi Hendrix
5. Aerosmith
6. Elvis Presley
7. Queen
8. Lynard Skynard
9. The Beatles
10. Guns N' Roses


Favorite album for me has got to be Who's Next followed by Quadrophenia/Forty Licks

Favorite song has gotta be Suspicious Minds by Elvis

Stoked on Aersosmith's current tour, The Who coming to Detroit in November, and rumors of The Rolling Stones touring in the Summer of 2013!

idk, never got to like queen. never really tried, i admit, but i just dont feel it from what you hear everywhere.

might be because when i was little, we finished an awful lot in 2nd place during a few winter soccer tournaments (of like 20 teams, so not too bad), but hearing this god damned "we are the champions" bullshit everytime right when you get the silver medal catches up with you eventually.




i like deep purple, led zeppelin, and jimi hendrix a lot. for me classic rock is this late 60s to at best late 70s period. pink floyd have some awesome songs too. and all the other usual suspects.


BUT what would really interest me.

QUESTION TO ANYONE:

what bands nowadays have this sound right now? like a classic rock feeling but they came out over the last decade?

for me:

wolfmother ("self titled" album)
comets on fire ("avatar")
the strokes (some songs)


post em up, would really be interested in more bands like that

I would have to disagree. It seems like pretty much everyone in my community that likes any sort of rap or hip hop hates REAL music. Everyone is so dead set on Lil Wayne, Drake, Wiz, etc. Those people HATE classic rock, blues, jazz, etc. Myself, I can listen to Nas, Biggie, and Tupac. I dont love them, but I think their music is O.K. If I start to play Aersosmith in the car with some buddies, they can't stand it, and start to rip on classic rock. I could tell you countless times where people give me shit for a stones t-shirt, or a John Lennon t-shirt. It just seems like everyone is in love with the prosthetic music that is produced today.

theyre just being stubborn. anyone who knows anything about music will appreciate classic rock. rappers are well known for using classic rock beats. bad example... but one would be snoop dogg using riders on the storm by the doors. only one that comes to mind right now but i know its pretty common for rappers to do that.

dont label classic rock as "real" music or any genre as real music for that matter

Im not trying to say classic rock is the only real music, im speaking as a generalization. Such as alternative rock, blues, Motown, classic rock, and such. Basically what im trying to say is that I dont consider most of the shit that comes out these days to be music. You might think its ridiculous, but its my opinion. From start to finish, the artist really does not do that much. A lot of times, people write the songs for them, they autotune it for them, probably even sing it for them at some points.

Couldnt agree more. Can't fucking stand acdc the guys voice makes me want to punch a baby. All the classic rock stations play it all the time around here as if classic rock only consists of acdc and lynyrd skynyrd. So annoying. That and they play like two pink Floyd songs. Really they wrote like 200 find another one.

i could have seen yes on saturday in boston but I couldn't find anyone to go with all my friends are fucking lil wayne and drake fans and can't appreciate real music that actually took talent to make. I'm gonna end up regretting this for a longgggg time but I think I'll go to a rush show if they have a new england stop and if the stones are on tour I'll be at one of those shows

I really love all music man, I listen to classic rock when I'm stressed or wanting to unwind. But I'm more into the 'southern' stuff like Skynard, Marshal Tucker Band, Outlaws, George Thorogood..ect. Takes me back to the 'good ol days'

but as far as bands that do not suck cock.

KISS

Dio (including Rainbow/Black Sabbath)

April Wine

Boston

Van Halen

Zeppelin

Alice Cooper

Bachman Turner Overdrive

Foreigner

Scorpions

Def Leopard

W.A.S.P.

Thin Lizzy

1. wish you were here
2. dark side
3. division bell
4. the wall
5. piper at the gates of dawn

never really liked animals, but division bell is a great album even without waters. coming back to life is my favorite floyd song and the rest of it is solid. doesnt feel the same as dsotm or wish you were here though, im a big fan of concept albums and dark side is the best concept album ever imo, but other than that division bell is top 5 albums of the past 25 years

people in this thread have listed all the major classic rock bands but seem to forget about the stuff that never had radio time.

Sadly some of the best classic rock is the forgotten music.










an no mention of kiss in this thread? to shame.
