Classic Rock Appreciation Thread

[ScottyBBadd]

Something I was considering doing for sometime. I know there are several individual group appriciation threads, but I liked the idea of a catch all classic rock apprication thread.All classic rock is fair game. Fire away. No flame wars please.

 

[The Chairman]

We already had one of these. Still, classic rock is an essential in my life along with food and drink. I only put God and my loved ones ahead of classic rock. It is the best music to ever exist.

And Zeppelin owns all.

 

[JLBats]

I enjoy The Byrds.

I am not sure if there was or not. It is the best music ever created, and (in my humble opinion) Led Zepplin is the greatest.

 

[ScottyBBadd]

I enjoy The Byrds.

JL, the Byrds are good. So are The Fab Four. All classic rock is good.

 

[Hades]

I enjoy The Byrds.

I believe you there.

Would you believe me if I tell you that I am related to the Wilson sisters? (Heart rocks! )

Believe you are related to Ann and Nancy Wilson, I do not know. Heart rocks absolutly.

 

[DBella]

The part about the Wilson sisters relation is a fib.

But everything else...

Lot of great stuff there.

 

[The Chairman]

Wow, that's pretty extensive.

Yeah, I know. It took me awhile to post.

BTW, would you guys consider Simon & Garfunkel classic rock, if so they're definitely going to be added into my top three.

 

[DBella]

Yeah, I know. It took me awhile to post.

BTW, would you guys consider Simon & Garfunkel classic rock, if so they're definitely going to be added into my top three.

I consider them more Folk Rock. There are some on your list that I'm not too great a fan of. I prefer the hard-rockin' classic rock but there are exceptions, of course.

 

[JLBats]

Yes, I would consider them classic rock. Not hardrock, certainly, but a folky sort of rock.

 

[The Chairman]

Yes, I would consider them classic rock. Not hardrock, certainly, but a folky sort of rock.

Cool, I'll add them.

 

[ScottyBBadd]

It depends on what you consider Classic Rock. I am ok with Simon and Garfunkel.

 

[ScottyBBadd]

They rock so hard.
Btw, I like your list a lot. I am too lazy to type the bands I like so I'll just share yours, if that's okay.

I am doing the same thing.
