Classic Rock?

[Dutch Pimp]

Of the list, I would say Robin Trower is probably the most overlooked.

RT... is as good as Jimi...with a guitar....

[Burnt Toast]

Yep, I still have Bridge of Sighs on LP.

Also, Trowers earlier work with Procol Harum deserves recognition as well.

Some of you classic rockers will dig this tour -

I try to catch them often and recently saw them do Queen's "A Night At The Opera". They do pretty good work and it's as close as you will ever get to seeing your old faves one last time.

I'm diggin a lot of the new stuff also and caught Interpol about 2 weeks ago for a good show.

I just bought tix for Black Rebel Motorcycle Club and Kings of Leon for Holloween night.

Go and check out your local, indie music scene. You'd be surprised how many good, new bands you'll discover.

You couldn't be more wrong if you tried, just because there are some good bands now doesn't make the oldies less than they were and will continue to be.
Without the early guys to show the way the new guys wouldn't be where they are.

uh hello? did i miss something. i took nothing away from the classic rock bands. i like them and kknow more about most of them than probably you and everyone else here acting like they do. i love them, and i take nothing away from them or their influence. it seems to be everyone else who is taking away from new music by saying, yeah well it is isnt the beatles. let the beatles be the beatles. guess what, without the guy who invented the guitar, the classic rock guys wouldnt be where they were. not to mention all of their early blues influences you know nothing about. stop trying to be a music purist. there were great people then, there are great people now, you just have to look harder. of course everyone has influences that only makes sense you have to go back to cavemen banging rocks on walls if you want to dive too deep into influences.

You are just making noise man.
I laughed so hard at the notion that you know more than everyone here. You have no idea of what I know , believe me it's obviously more than you give anyone credit for . You aren't full of yourself are you (sic).
I would also like to point out (once again YAWN) I believe modern artists have as much to offer BUT the title of the thread says it all doesn't it ? CLASSIC ROCK.
Not classic rock v modern rock or anything like that OK!

Please crawl back into your playpen and stop your childish attempts to instigate an argument .

PS I hate the Beatles

[suhl]

yeah, and how many posts did it take someone to say modern rock cant compare. i give people on this website credit for knowing as much about music as you can find on local radio or on now volume 20 and maybe what they see on mtv bet or headbangers ball, so i will say i give most of the people on this site little to no credit for knowledge of music. i am glad you got your laugh though. i was not trying to instigate argument, i would invite you to go look through one of the many threads on here where people are saying blah blah blah pink floyd was the last true band. after you hear the same shit so many times(and this is where my arrogant sense of knowledge comes in, meaning if these people had any knowledge theyd know rock isnt dead) it starts to wear on you. and i also hate the beatles, im just repeating what ive heard. so since we seem to be in agreement, it is all good.

[Dutch Pimp]

The Beatles made their best music....AFTER they broke up.

[spookytooth]

Hi.I know this aint a modern v classic tread thing is i've been around a while seen alot of the old bands live and up untill a few months ago wasnt really impressed by the modern rock.The only way i had to judge em was from listening to what was played on the radio.Only get 2 decent stations here{ tauranga New Zealand } one The Rock the other Hauraki a classic rock station .Then this live to air tv station started ALT tv they play bands i had never heard of i recon if some of this new stuff had of been round 35 odd years ago when i was a youngun it would be playing on Haurki today it Rocks

[r0k]

I will say that I was never a fan of Pink Floyd. It just always came off as far too abstract and random. It does help me drift off to sleep though lol. :jointsmile:

And you call yourself a stoner.. :thumbsup:
