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.

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.

Gortexfogg · 10-18-2003, 08:17 AM

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...

The_wall · 10-18-2003, 08:39 AM

laxman18 · 10-18-2003, 09:28 AM

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!!

Nefir · 10-18-2003, 09:16 PM

Some bands nobody mentioned that deserve to be:

Uriah Heep
Nazareth
Alice Cooper
King Crimson
Carlos Santana

Cecil Beeber · 10-30-2003, 03:44 PM

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?

K-Wise · 10-30-2003, 04:20 PM

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

Asta!!

ledhead · 10-30-2003, 09:16 PM

Chingal0 · 10-30-2003, 10:31 PM
