Some good classic rock bands
 

What are some good classic rocks bands. I absolutely love classic rock, and want to hear some more bands.

Some bands I like are:
Led Zeppelin (omg best band ever!!)
the beatles
the eagles
the doors
the who
Jimmi Hendrix

What are some more great classic rock bands? Also I heard the greatful dead is a sweet band, but I don't know many of there songs. I know Truckin' and casey jones, but what are some other good ones?

KISS
Van Halen
Boston
Rush
Foghat
Bob Seger & The Silver Bullet Band
Styx
.38 Special
Blackfoot
Grand Funk Railroad


I could go on for days...

GOT, he said GOOD classic rock bands.

Just kidding (he he he)

I love CSNY

Jefferson Airplane, who were pioneers in the whole Haight-Ashbury scene in the 60s, along with the Grateful Dead. Volunteers has to be one of the best albums ever made, it captures so many moods and varieties of music. Surrealistic Pillow is probably their best-known album, that is pretty good too.

And I don't know if this'd classify as classic rock, but "The Temptations" were the shit. They were around during the whole late 60s movement, and you can tell by how "psychedelic" some of their songs are. Wah-wah guitars and all that. I like "I Can't Get Next To You" and "Papa Was A Rolling Stone." I could listen to those songs all day.

I'd also like to see other's suggestions. Some classic rock songs are great in ways that current songs are not. I don't know what it is, even though they are older, lots of them sound fresher than modern rock.

Oh, I'm sorry.

N'Sync
Backstreet Boys
98 Degrees
New Kids on the Block
Menudo...

Well, I can keep listing songs almost all nite, but that will give you a start. :crazy:

Yes they do, good call.

I can't believe I didn't mention Queen.




/hangs head in shame.

I'll go stand in the corner for awhile and think about what I've done.

No one's mentioned Bob Dylan yet? If it wasn't for Dylan, rock as we know it would not exist. You people shouldn't be allowed to listen to classic rock...

thanks for the replies guys

bah..the velvet underground...i dislike that

but cream/clapton is good stuff..my favourite classic rock

Actually you can thank African Americans for Rock & Roll. Bo Didley, Little Richard, Chuck Berry, etc. But yeah Dylan was a genius. I thought Dylan was more of a singer/songwriter than Rock & Roll but he did have his rockish moments now that I think about it.

Asta!!

Some bands nobody mentioned that deserve to be:

Uriah Heep
Nazareth
Alice Cooper
King Crimson
Carlos Santana

Nefir - I agree with all of those! Just saw Alice Cooper a week or two ago too:) What about Jeff Beck? or The Kinks, Kansas, or Alan Parsons Project?

Anybody mention The MC5 yet? Them and The New York Dolls are pretty much responsible for the first forms of Punk rock.

Asta!!

tom petty?
bruce springsteen?

The Kinks!

I would dupe a bunch of the ones on others lists like Zep, Skynard, Queen, Cheap Trick, Sabbath, AC/DC...I also dig Sweet...not as big as the othes but a good band

i don't think jethro tull or joy division have been mentioned.

although that's getting into progressive rock sorta styles, although i don't really know how to label stuff anyway?
