Classical rock in all its glory

classical rock is dying out with the new generation of rap/pop/metal/rock, and i mean don't get me wrong i like new rock and some gangster rap, but in my opinion nothing matches classical rock, but its sad that the generation of classical rock is fading away, but i will love classical rock in till the day i die.

do you like classical rock, if so what are some artists? And if you don't like classical rock, what about it don't you like?

i like

emerson lake and palmer
tom petty...you should listen to Zero to Outer Space
rolling stones
kansas
bob dylan
pink floyd(older stuff more so)
America
Black Sabbath
Jimi Hendrix----Great Guitar player
Guns n' Roses-----Slash is also a great Guitar player


ok i have to stop now, what about?

love the wall by floyd. and dark side.

i also like supertramp, steve miller, aerosmith, it goes on

"Long Live Rock, be it Dead or Alive!"-Who

Led Zeppelin , The Doors , T-Rex , Slade , Rainbow , Thin Lizzy , Free ( Bad company and Paul Rogers ) to name a few more :jointsmile:

Zeppelin is good, very good

i love classic rock. but, since you ask, what i dont like is that people hear it, then hear rock on local radio, then assume rock is dead. all time great music is still being recorded, and people have this idea in their heads like rock peaked and died in the seventies.

i could list a bunch of classic rock bands, but it is pointless, people are aware of what they are, and this thread already exists.

i am very aware that rock is still around but all i am saying is that i am a big fan of music that came out of the 60' 70's 80"s and i mean i like newer shit but not as much as older

Led Zeppelin
Meatloaf
ACDC
Don Mclean
The Beatles
The Doors
Tom Waits
Richard Thompson
Lynyrd Skynyrd
Guns n' Roses
Eric Clapton
The Eagles
Blue Ã?yster Cult
Black Sabbath
Warren Zevon

just to name a few

Van Halen, guitar rock that blasts Jimi Hendrix to oblivion. :stoned:

Classic rock is soo good the world would be a better place if people only listened to music made before the 80's MTV should only play Pink Floyd Dark Side of the Moon on repeat over and over and over and over and over and over and over.
Its like suddenly the world was sent into musical purgatory after 1980 and nobody I MEAN NOBODY CAN PLAY A GUITAR FOR HALF A SHIT.
STAY TRUE TO THE ROOTS; CLASSIC ROCK FOR THE WIN.

seriously, you guys need to open your minds. not all music is mainstream mtv/"new generation of rap/pop/metal/rock"

Yardbirds
Animals
Who
Kinks
Alice Cooper
Twisted Sister
Motorhead
New York Dolls
Iggy and the Stooges
Saxon
Ramones
Golden Earring
Bad Company...

To name but a few.
I like lots of different music styles but I love rock, wether it's 50's rock 'n' roll or seventies glamrock or even punk , rock will always rule.

Some of the lesser known people I would have in my favourite 100 rock acts would have to be:
Toy Dolls (punk)
King Kurt (psychobilly)
Hicksville Bombers (50's style rock from a current group)
Screaming Lord Sutch (was scaring audiences before Alice got the idea)
Helloween
The Primitives

Jethro Tull
Uriah Heep
Humble Pie
Badfinger
Spirit
MC5
King Crimson
Yes
Santana
Montrose
Velvet Underground
The Bob Seger System (circa, 1968-70)
Fleetwood Mac (circa, 1968-73)
Iron Butterfly
Steppenwolf
Grand Funk Railroad
Ten Years After
Sweetwater
Cream
Traffic
Donovan

wait, isnt that the opposite of what you were saying???

lol reluctant of all arguments, we all agree classical rock is good

Classic Rock is too generalized, it's a radio term.

One could argue that Nirvana is classic rock. In a few years, what's to say a band like Sublime will be considered classic rock.

The only thing many of these bands lumped together have in common is that they aren't present day.

Otherwise, their music is totally different, and should be judged in an individual basis.

im saying you can listen to whatever you want, your ears arent mine, just dont say anything that isnt classic rock is wack, thats just ignorant.


thc, whoever thinks nirvana is classic rock has a sick and twisted world perception. (i know, i know, they play Come as you are and lithium all the time on those classic rock stations though lol)

Dont get me wrong, i love classic rock, and i really dont like alot of new music, but there are still lots of good bands, and lots of people still listen to old rock.

classical rock is just a classification for a generation of music and nothing more then that.


and Nirvana is not at all in anyway what so ever, i don't know if you understand that i'm talking about some music made in 60s 70s 80s era, that is all i am saying. and yes nirvana was around in the 80's but they were a more new generation rock.

hahaha most of my friends listen to classic rock, if not then some rap but thats about it

420 24/7 what are you trying to say? That im too hard-headed to appreciate the 'glory of classic rock'?

im not trying to say anything, im just very very confused, one minute your saying that classic rock is the only good music and everyone should only listen to it, then you say this

i dont get it???:wtf:

my mistake, i didnt realize i wasnt making my saracasm obvious enough in my first post.

okok i kind of thought thats what it was but i wasnt sure.

classic rock = old music. nothing more
a lot of the music that is classic rock was mainsteam when i was a teenager.as the days go by and turn to years the songs get older and become classic rock. when i was a teenager classic rock meant music from late 50s early 60s. then became the 70s and now the 80s. what used to be classic rock is now oldies

Captain Beefheart and The Doors :D
