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...)

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.

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.)

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

Mage he/him Posted February 25, 2021 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

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.

revelryintheart she/her Posted March 5, 2021 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
Flaming Coinshot he/him Posted June 6, 2021 Posted June 6, 2021 (edited) Black Sabbath is technically metal but they're good. Edited June 6, 2021 by Fireball300
Shard of Reading he/him Posted June 7, 2021 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.
Marukka Posted June 7, 2021 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.
AonDoor he/him Posted November 30, 2021 Posted November 30, 2021 "Airsick Lowlanders. Ha!" - Classic Rock (I'm not insulting you. The opportunity was just too great.)

Ironwill2112 he/him Posted December 1, 2021 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.
