I can't personally say that I have a favorite because music should match mood. There are some days that I would rather listen to easy, soft rock than classic, hard rock but I still have a few favorites that bring back good memories. Anyway, who's your general favorite and why?

I picked my personal favorites from this list:

Top 50 Classic Rock Bands List (Part 1)

number one favorite:

The Byrds.

How can you have a classic rock poll without including the Beatles, the Stones, the Band or the Byrds? They could be the most influential rock bands of all time.

 

[bayoubill]

in my top five...

Still sounds as fresh as it did when it was recorded. The influences are a combination of John Coltrane and Ravi Shankar.

How can you not include a band that was first in folk rock, psychedelica, country rock, and threw some jazz in?

Skynyrd

oh yeah... let's definitely celebrate a tune about a mindless asshole who thoughtlessly leaves his responsibilities behind...

Led Zep was my favorite back in the day, but today it's the Eagles.



These guys can play, and they always sound exactly like their albums.

Saw Pink Floyd in concert twice. They're the same way. Sound like their albums, but they're mostly head music. Not exactly what I would pick to screw to.

There is an interesting DVD set for music lovers. It is the music from Saturday Night Live from beginning to present. If you watch the entire set, you really see the quality of music decline over the years.

You hear the Eagles get trashed a lot, but they had a lot of great songs, and have always been an exceptional live band.

Exactly, Pink Floyd isn't listed either but ZZ Top and Styx are. It's nice to have a post featuring your favourite Classic rock clips (even though some that are posted are not classic rock) but if you are going to do a poll, do it right.

There is no right IDIOT! Every person has a different set of likes and dislikes. Go to a food buffet and you'll see 100 people pick 100 different meal choices. If you want to do your own poll "RIGHT" then move on out of this one and start your own. I hate complainers!!!

Maybe I should start a poll about the pioneers of rock and roll and leave out Buddy Holly, Elvis Presley, Roy Orbison and Chuck Berry. One thing about making a poll with only your favourite bands is only your favourite bands will be on top of the poll.

smart move

I GUARANTEE you that if you start a poll about the "pioneers of rock & roll" you will be forced to leave SOMEONE out. Why? There are only 10 slot available in a poll. Someone will come along and say "I can't believe you left out so-and-so."

So ... put your reading glasses on and look at the title of this particular thread/poll. I ask a question, I offer a few choices (including "other"), and the rest is up to you. If you have a favorite classic rock artist then post it. Otherwise, quit being a dumbass!

I liked Chicago back in H.S.

I used to play trombone in the band, so they were one of my favorites.

They were tremendous in concert.

Why did I play the trombone? Because that was the only instrument my parents let me play.



Saw Aerosmith in Hawaii. Loudest band ever. Lost the hearing in my right ear for a week.
