Most people will probably say zeppelin or floyd, but my favorite by far is FOREIGNER. If you've never really heard there shit, i strongly suggest you download some of it.

So the question stands, who is the greatest rock artist?

forigner? yeah download some forigner if you wanna hear some cop out arena rock. Anyway, i would say pink floyd and zeppelin are the best even before i read this.

well well well.

i dont think its forighner....definetly not...their not real classic rock. doors are great, and are up their.

but im thinking...god this is tuff. it would be greatful dead by far, but they changed their music style at the end to sorta non classic rock..like in american buety its more country life, and i think of them mroe as hippi music than real classic rock.

im going with The Jimi Hendrix Expierience. Although i dont like them anymore, they are amazing.

just had to point out that there is no such thing as a classic-rock artist. There is a rock artist who has become classic.

Thank you.

i agree with whoever said the who. grateful dead is up there with the doors and pink floyd.

homophobia is gay

last time it was so cool, i was walking outside and the grass kept saying ouch as i walked on it, and then i looked up and pulled a star out of the sky with my hand and took it apart

The Beatles, number 1 will a bullet.


'My soul is a like a ruby
And I threw it in the earth
But now my hands are bleeding
From scrabbling in the dirt
And I look up to the heavens
And a light is on my face
I never never never
Thought I'd find a state of grace' - Joy by Mick Jagger

HOLY FUCK! Wesley Willis is AMAZING. I have 200 (and he has plenty more too!) of his songs on my computer. Cut that mullet, Vampire Bat, Fuck with me and Find out, Kill Whitey. They are great!

I saw him live and it was sweet.

I love CCR, and Aerosmith's song Dream On is my favorite classic rock song, even though i dont neccessarily liek Aerosmith much.

boy do I stand by my bruuuuuce claim. after his san jose show last night, there's still no better live performer. bout 3 and a half hours, much of which was encores. bout 10 songs worth of encores. most amazing guitar solo I've ever seen during prove it all night. if you can get a ticket, go do it, I guarantee it you won't regret it.

From the SF Chronicle review: 'Springsteen's roaring guitar solo on 'Prove It All Night' nearly caused a collective swoon.'

SJ Mercury-News: 'Bruce Springsteen was simply built for the stage. After three decades, he's still the rock 'n' roll preacher who can sum up our most powerful feelings, magnify them exponentially, and launch them back into a crowd of thousands until everyone is on their feet.'

'Born to Run,' remained one of the greatest songs one can see live -- with the lights way up as if the whole scene had to be seen to be believed. The crowd here is as important as the band, and having the lights up illuminates the frenzy of thousands of people standing and pumping fists, which in turn revs up the band to churn even more energy out toward the crowd. No band conducts stage energy better on any song, and its something every rock fan should see at least once.'

See? every rock fan needs to see him.
