[sww-bull52]

Journey, REO Speedwagon, AC/DC, Van Halen.....
This list could go on FOREVER!!!

Probably my second-favorite band of all time. My heyday was during the grunge era, but I loved the Eagles, The Guess Who (definitely not The Who... hated that band) and Steppenwolf. Also listened to a lot of Lynyrd Skynyrd, Led Zeppelin, Boston, Creedence, Aerosmith, OLD Rolling Stones, Buffalo Springfield and (a little more into the 80's-ish rock) Blue Oyster Cult. Those were the tapes I had.

[Ranger Mom]

LOL!! Well I also liked Boston, Eagles, Aerosmith, BTO, ELO.....just way too many to remember!

[maroonpirate04]

Bad Company, Bon Jovi, Poison, Whitesnake, Cinderella, Def Leopard, Guns N Roses, and Van Halen

[griff]

Man...funny you should bring up Jackson Browne. I was just thumping along to "Tender Is The Night" on my Real Rhapsody player.

All time faves (top 5)...

Thin Lizzy (one of the most under-rated rock bands of all time)
Foghat
Rush
Bob Seger
Bad Company

"Close 2nds"...

38 Special
Lynyrd Skynyrd
Kansas
Eddie Money
ZZTop
Foreigner
Journey
Styx
Toto
Eagles
John Mellencamp
Chicago
Blackfoot

Highly Honorable Mention...

Heart
Doobie Bros.
Steve Miller Band
Creedence Clearwater Revival
Boston
Fleetwood Mac
Bryan Adams
Steve Winwood
The Cars
Genesis
REO Speedwagon

Today's modern rock just doesn't match up with the classic rock of the 70's and early 80's, but there are a few current band exceptions:

Goo Goo Dolls (the worst name ever, but they sound great)
Third Eye Blind
Vertical Horizon
Matchbox 20
Michelle Branch

I never understood the popularity of Pink Floyd and the Doors. To me, the music of the Doors wasn't that good, and Pink Floyd was just too weird to enjoy. Just my two cents.

When I want to relax...

James Taylor
Phil Keaggy instrumentals (considered by some to be the greatest guitar player in the world)
various Smooth Jazz mixes

Good topic! Thanks for starting it, 3Afan.

Definitely April Wine is up there. The "Nature of the Beast" album was one of the best ever. However, the "If You See Kay" song was forgettable...and so is the title.

A few more for the list...

Molly Hatchet
Loverboy
Point Blank
Triumph
Trapeze

How about top classic rock albums of all time?

I'll throw out a few on my list:

Bob Seger - "Night Moves"

Rush - "Moving Pictures"..."Permanent Waves"..."2112"...just about anything from Rush.

Fleetwood Mac - "Rumors"

Boston - "Boston"

Thin Lizzy - "Jailbreak"

Styx - "The Grand Illusion"

Foghat - "Live" & "Fool For The City"

Bad Company - "Bad Company"

[3afan]

love those Molly Hatchet "lead breaks" !

Going a little further back with Jimi Hendrix. Sammy Hagar, Mahoganey Rush, Ted Nugent..

[griff]

3afan, you're speaking my language, bubba.

Remember the song "Gator Country" from Molly Hatchet? They were making fun of people from any southern state at the expense of glorifying their home stomping grounds of Florida. Here's the lyrics:

I've been to alabama, people ain't a whole lot to see;
Skynyrd says it's a real sweet home but it ain't nothing to me.
Charlie daniels will tell you the good lord lives in tenessee, ha!
But i'm going back to gator country where the wine and the women are free.

Chorus:
There's a gator in the bushes, he's calling my name,
And a saying come on boy, you better make it back home again.
There's many roads i've travelled but they all kind of look the same.
There's a gator in the bushes, lord, he calling my name.

Old richard betts will tell ya lord he was born a ramblin' man.
Well he can ramble back to georgia but i won't give a damn.
Elvin bishop out struttin his stuff with little miss slick titty boom.
But i'm going back to gator country to get me some elbow room.

Chorus:
There's a gator in the bushes he's calling my name.

That was a great song...humorous, too...but I didn't care for the jab at Texas (Elvin Bishop's home state).

[3afan]

yes - have that one on my laptop .... cool

[Ranger Mom]

I liked Ted Nugent in Damn Yankees.

[griff]

Well, after copying the lyrics from the Molly Hatchet song, I realized some of it was left out. The song also says something about "Marshall Tucker is taking the highway searching for a pot of gold"...referring to "Take The Highway" and "Searching For A Rainbow".

[sww-bull52]

Has anyone mentioned Nazareth yet?

[griff]

"Hair of the Dog"...yes, sir.

[sww-bull52]

I love CD's for the quality of music, but I still have to drag out the vinyl ever once in awhile.

Probably get good money for them. Don't know if I could let them go if they where mine. I've got two or three of those artists myself.

[griff]

The guitar licks on "Green Grass and High Tides" are impressive, as well. The song is more than nine minutes long, with a majority of it lead guitar.

[LH Panther Mom]

Queen, Doobie Brothers, Aerosmith, BTO

Sorry if any of these have been repeats, just didn't remember seeing them. :)

If you like guitar, 3AFan, listen to some Dire Straits, Clapton, or ZZ Top.

[sweetwater07]

i'm only in high school but i appreciate classic rock unlike the rest of my generation....i'm a headbanger also and i'm gonna say the crue and GnR are my favs.............i could also go for scorpions and i know its not really classic being as they are still together but metallica is beasty also!!

[piratebg]

Even though I was not around yet, I really love to lisent to the Beatles. Kansas, Boston, and Chicago are some music that my father introduced me to as a small child. Toto, Peter Frampton, EWF, CCR, Hendryx, and this list goes on and on. Metallica, Aerosmith, Nirvana, Foo Fighters, and Green Day are some of the newer/older groups that I rock to.

[3afan]

well, I had an "argument" with a teenager once who insisted GreenDay was classic rock .......... geez, and to think he's still on the payroll ;)

[Da Mules]

what nobody's mentioned the All-Time Southern band yet.... Credence Clearwater Revival - Proud Mary, Bad Moon Risin', SuzyQ, and Who Will Stop the Rain

[piratebg]

They have been around for about or over a decade, and I have no doubt that they will be a classic band of this generation, but calling them classic while they are still in their prime is a little premature.

[Stang4life5_5]

Prime yah maybe those guys had a prime but now they've gone more generic. They changed their style because they couldnt keep up with all the new bands like Hawthore, Fall out Boys, all those crappy bands. I think they wer prime in like 97-00 thats about it

Geez! You guys are peaking over the internet into my music collection! How did you do that?

I LOVE PINK FLOYD! I think because it's all blues, but written as Rock. (FYI....Band name came from the names of 2 great blues artists put together)

When I was younger, I HATED Ozzy Osbourne! Now that I've mellowed a little, I really like some of his stuff like Crazy Train, Mama I'm Coming Home, etc.

How about Jethro Tull (Aqua Lung)? The only Rock and Roll FLUTE player?

I have 2 classic rock stations I can pick up here in BC - 101.3 out of Lake Charles La and 103.7 out of Houston. Gotta Love It!

[ILS1]

I LOVE PINK FLOYD!

I totally agree!!! I love Floyd as well. I "discovered" them when I was in the military,many moons (no pun intended) ago. Either you listened to country or Floyd. I didn't like country back then,I do now. But Floyd was da bomb,especially if you were really buzzed and had some chick you never met before on your lap!! LOL!! I have the video of Live 8,when they performed together for the first time in 20 YEARS,this past July!!! Man,they just kicked butt!!! It was like Roger Waters never left!!! They sounded great!!!!


BTW,I never could understand the obsession with Skynard or the song 'Freebird'. Or Kiss,Jethro Tull either. Kiss,I liked some of their songs but I don't get it!!


My favorites,in no particular order: Pink Floyd,Van Halen,The Beatles,Journey,Sammy Hagar,The Eagles,Santana,Def Leppard,Metallica,CCR,Boston,Chicago,Loverboy,Whit e Snake,Bon Jovi,Paul McCartney & Wings,Billy Joel,Bob Seger,Genesis,John (Cougar) Mellencamp,Michael Jackson (when he was black),Motley Crue,Ozzy,Black Sabbath,Night Ranger,Nirvana,Rod Stewart,Styx,Rolling Stones,U2 & ZZ Top. Just to name a few!!! LOL!!! :clap: :clap: :D

[3afan]

J.D. Souther & Kansas

[big daddy russ]

It's so weird hearing all the 80's rock bands mentioned as classic rock. Even though they've been playing on classic rock stations for a few years now, I still associate it with the hard rock from the mid-60's to late-70's.

I guess I'm getting old. Before I know it, everyone will be calling Nirvana and Pearl Jam classic rock.

As far as 80's rock goes, I liked BOC and Bob Seger from the first part of the decade, Metallica from the rest, GnR from the end, Aerosmith through it all, the Clash, the Top Gun soundtrack (very first tape I ever owned, very first movie I ever owned) and Bon Jovi. Can't think of much else I really cared for. Then again, wasn't even 10 when all that stuff came out.

[setex]

Neil Young and Lou Reed.

[FlameBuster63]

Man, one child told me that CCR was going to be in San Angelo, Tx, I told her, Yeah right Cerdence Clearwater Revival is coming to San Angelo (Sarcasticly)then she said No Canadian Cross Ragweed that CCR. I had to tell her, that her CCR was not the real CCR and She got madder than He** at me, I just laughed at her!:doh:

[Stownhorse]

The Who.....No doubt......Holla if ya hear me!

[Ranger Mom]

I still like some of those "one hit wonders"

Fastway - Say what you will

Dokken - Breaking the Chains

Autograph - Turn up the Radio

[HBDAD]

don't forget Rare Earth

[formermbcouns]

If not mistaken, you guys have left out such acts as Crosby, Stills and Nash and Elton John...

[maroonpirate04]

One group I forgot to mention is Heart :thumbsup: I remember when i was little my older sister used to listen to Heart man I love their music so I kinda grew up listening to Heart. She got me into Heart ever since then

i saw Heart at the SFA Coliseum in Nacogdoches, late 70s .... sat/stood right in front of Nancy Wilson the entire time ... didnt sleep for days!!!!

[griff]

Nancy Wilson up close had to be one of the best seats in the house, 3afan. She is now in her 50's, but still looks great! She recorded her one and only solo album back in '99. It's an acoustic set recorded at a guitar shop with probably 50 or so (at least it sounds that way) people in the audience. Good stuff if you like acoustic settings (like me).

[westtxfballfan]

Even though I was an 80s teenager and liked the bands RangerMom and others mentioned from that era, Boston was my favorite group. Their best stuff was from their 70s albums.

[DaHop72]

Saw Chicago twice in concert, Three Dog Night and the Doobie Bros. Had tickets on the floor at the Doobie's, man low hanging haze on the floor.

[griff]

Did anyone here attend Arrow Fest in Houston on October 29? It featured Styx, Foghat, Little River Band, Eddie Money, Kansas, Fabulous Thunderbirds, and Foreigner...I may have left out one or two, but those are the ones I remember. I missed the show and I'm curious to know how good were the performances and what were the highlights. Anyone?

[TheTK56]

Styx is a good choice

I haven't seen anyone mention the Steve Miller Band or Winger -- J/K (I've been watching alot of Beavis & Butt head lately-LOL)

Creedence Cleerwater Revival (CCR); The Eagles; AC/DC; Van halen; Steppenwolf

New York Groove - Ace Frehley...I'm goofy for just loving this song, but I do. :) I used to have the album http://i14.ebayimg.com/03/i/05/65/16/ee_1.JPG but I lost it. :weeping:

Nope. Before the Tull, there was It's A Beautiful Day. Their only hit was "White Bird" and their first and only decent album was "It's A Beautiful Day." Their second album "Marrying Maiden" sucked; I bought it because the first one was so good; I think they were totally fried by LSD by then.
well admittedly the Flautist David LaFlamme didn't rock as hard as Ian Anderson of Jethro, and he was probably too fried to stand on one leg, but he was still good. He also played the electric violin.

I know you're dying to learn more; here's the link

Typical 1-Hit Hippy Wonders, but White Bird was totally kewl (http://www.fortunecity.com/tinpan/gramophone/873/)

I totally forgot about Ratt!!! I used to really like them too. My first concert ever was to see them plus their opening act Momma's Boys and Twist Sister @ the old City Coliseum (which is torn down now) in Austin. They didn't sell many pre-sale tickets but to buy them at the door,there was a line about 3 blocks long. Luckily,my best friend and I got in. Ratt kicked butt!!! Twisted Sister was good too but Dee Snider kept dropping the "F-bomb" about every other word!!!




:D
