Actually it is. Blues+Rock+Hardness=Hard Rock

And in the 70s when that stuff came out they were the hardest sounding bands around.

Back then bands like Sabbath were the exception , not the rule.

You're looking at this from a 2008 perspective , not from the time they were around.

You don't have to be hard to be Blues-Rock. End of discussion.

Them being one of the hardest bands around doesn't make them hard. I can see your point though.

If there was no hardness it would be blues

ProggyMan · 04-25-2008, 08:41 PM

Uh, care to explain that one? There are quite few characteristics of Rock music that Blues doesn't share besides 'hardness'.

Like?

A strong vocal melody, a wider range of instruments, a strong backbeat...
