Classic Rock (electronic, jazz, favorite songs, genre, albums)

[Kurt_Cobain]

I love classic rock, just for the fact that most of the great guitarists were in 'classic rock' bands. They may be old, some even a bit...stiff, but who can do what they did? Hendrix, I mean no one can play like him, or write songs like Stairway, just for the fact that it's plain wierd.
Ever generation needs their mummy's and daddy's heros to look up to in music, and compare to. Or how would music evolve?
I like the fact that no band tried to copy the other, all unique, and most were good at what they did. What bands now day are going to be around aslong as Clapton, or Status Quo?
Im not going to bother naming a bunch of bands I like, just think of all the ones with a cool guitarist.

Thats because you're a little grude holding bitch. Man up and realise you're not arguing anything real anymore, you're just made and want to trash everyones threads now.

You yourself are an *******, and were that way when ya showed up.

Lol- yeah that song cracks me up too. The lyrics and the way Halford sings them- funny

About 95% of what I listen to is classic rock. I can't get enough of it. Personally, I think it's better than the **** we have out now. Back in the days, those guys (and girls) knew how to play; especially guitar. They ripped out great leads and riffs that just amazed the hell out of you. It was true music like that that kept everything going. Now, most bands just do it for the money. It's sad really. I'd definately have to say that my favorite band is The Beatles. I say The Beatles because I absolute love them. They were the first band I ever heard when I was younger. I saw Ringo five times and Paul twice. The Beatles had true talent. They started off simple and got more complex as time went on. Their leads blow my mind sometimes. Such as "While My Guitar Gently Weeps", is truly amazing. I don't think that George Harrison gets enough credit as a lead guitarist. Sometimes John gets too much. And my next favorite band is The Daveclark Five. I love all British Invasion music on top of oldies. I do think that classic rock is a genre in itself. You can't not deny it's there. Blocking it out is so pointless.

I love classic rock, but I also like tons of stuff out today. You shouldn't be close minded about newer music, not all of it is the stuff you see on MTV.

I don't think that George Harrison gets enough credit as a lead guitarist.

Agreed.

Yeah I love classic rock too and tend to agree with free 2 shank that the majority of it is much better than music today.
I like to think I'm open minded and have given newer music a fair chance but I can't think of any bands which started in the last couple of years which I like.
What new bands do you listen to?
