I guess he's around the right time period, but he's less rock and more varied. But I do see how you could do that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not exactly Classic Rock, but it's probably close enough. If you want, I can give you a list of classic rock songs you may like. You'd need to answer a few questions first, but there are so many different types of music within classic rock. I mean, there is a huge difference between songs like You're My Best Friend by Queen, Sanitarium by Metallica, and Stairway to Heaven by Led Zeppelin. There is so much diversity in this specific genre of music. (I am very opinionated when it comes to classic rock...) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is quite possibly one of the best things about rock. With just about any other style of music, you say "I like rap (Or something)" And you'll have a pretty good idea of what the music will be like. Not so with rock. There is so much storming variety! I love it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love it. Yep! I literally have about 30 rock playlists, and each one is for different moods I'm in. (Not all of them are pure classic rock. I've got this one that is a mix of Pink Floyd and Simon and Garfunkel that I use when I need to calm down.) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm really too much of an opportunistic listener to be a solid classic rock fan, but I've got good memories of being intro-ed to it by my ex and my dad, so I've got some playlists that count Edited February 25, 2021 by Kasimir 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mage Posted February 25, 2021 Report Share Posted February 25, 2021 YESSS! Finally people who appreciate good music. Nothing against people who like contemporary stuff, except that they are wrong. My favorite band is U2, with The Police, Led Zeppelin and The Smiths as close seconds. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've met people who had never heard Bohemian Rhapsody (How? I have no idea), so knowing even just a few bands is fine. 1 hour ago, FriarFritz said: Any of y'all heard of Jethro Tull? Nope.

I mean, sure there are a few songs from other genres that I like, but my favorites are all classic rock. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

revelryintheart Posted March 5, 2021 Report Share Posted March 5, 2021 yeah I only like one contemporary band and it's Breaking Benjamin (the only reason I like them is because I learned to like them because my brothers listened to it a lot). But everything else contemporary is 0/10 no stars would not recommend 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flaming Coinshot Posted June 6, 2021 Report Share Posted June 6, 2021 (edited) Black Sabbath is technically metal but they're good. Edited June 6, 2021 by Fireball300 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shard of Reading Posted June 7, 2021 Report Share Posted June 7, 2021 I mean, AC/DC is also metal but I still like them. I think that the definition of "Classic rock" is very vague here. It's really any sort of rock music. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marukka Posted June 7, 2021 Report Share Posted June 7, 2021 38 minutes ago, Shard of Reading said: I mean, AC/DC is also metal but I still like them. To be fair, the lines between the genres are sometimes really flimsy and hard to define. For example, in the beginning of their career Bon Jovi said their music was metal. And no, it wasn't. I really like it, but it's rock. Nor even hard rock, as I would call AC/DC and Black Sabbath, but I'm more of a metalhead myself. Anyway, there is absolutely nothing wrong with classic rock. Or any kind of rock. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boomerang Guy Posted December 1, 2021 Report Share Posted December 1, 2021 Well. I could give you a long list but for now I'll just tell you some. Some of my favorite bands are Foreigner, Boston, ELO, Journey, Chicago, Rush, Styx, Triumph, Aerosmith, Queen, Kansas, Eagles, Genesis, Led Zeppelin, Supertramp, Toto, Night Ranger, Tom Petty, Heart, Steve Miller Band, Fastball, and Bon Jovi. Just to name a few. And I also listen to other old music around that era, like Michael Jackson and such. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
