Damn, classic rock is my ****. More 60's and 70's than anything, but every older era has great stuff.

Favorite bands:
Beatles
The Jimi Hendrix Experience
Pink Floyd
The Doors
David Bowie

Psychedelic is the go-to for me when I want to get lost in music; Outside the bands I listed, the Zombies' album "Odyssey and Oracle" and Jefferson Airplane's "Surrealistic Pillow" are staples :pimp: Cream's dope too.

Nirvana is classic rock now?..Gotdamn I'm getting old..:D

The Police are cool..Not enough people know exactly how big they were..Most people think they just did a couple albums and that's it..But they were, legitimatly, the biggest band in the world for a couple years..And I'm pretty sure that it was Live Aid that was not gonna be able to happen if Sting wouldn't have got on board..I've heard a couple stories that basically say that if he wouldn't have put his name in the mix that most of the musicians wouldn't have agreed to perform cause the promoter didn't have a "big" name on the bill..
 
Led Zeppelin

Pink Floyd

Metallica

Motley Crue

Ozzy Osbourne

Rob Zombie

So many more bands, can't really name them all.  Definitely can't get with this new rock that's out there now.
 
 
The Doors
Pink Floyd
Fleetwood Mac
Zep
Eagles
And lets not forget The Thin White Duke. That dude was baddddddddd with his music!
 
Resurrecting this very small thread :lol:

Lately I've been getting into a lot of classic rock. I'm damn near 30 years old, and until this point of my life have never gotten that into it.

It all started when I bought Dark Side of the Moon on vinyl. Damn near blew my mind to think my mom was listening to this same music as a teenager, and it truly has aged so well.

I'm not sure if you'd consider The Beatles classic rock, but I've been getting into some of their music a little bit to. Man, those guys were high all the time :lol:

Also, as someone who has been a hip hop fan my entire life, it is always dope to come across the original source of a sample.

Here are two more to help you break the speed limit. You'll probably recognize them from car commercials.

If the Beatles started getting weird before the White album, what were they before then? Lol

What's your favorite Pink Floyd album? I'm actually going to see Roger Waters in August.

Sorry, I wasn't quite accurate.

Before Rubber Soul, they were a boy band with mad songwriting potential that was lost in the hysteria of the teenage girls who thought they were cute. Although some of those albums had some serious gems like Yesterday.

Then the boys started treating their albums as artistic pieces instead of a collection of singles. For rubber soul they started listening to stuff like black soul music, Bob Dylan, more diverse sounds. The young god George Harrison brought in the Indian sitar and kicked off a craze of using that thing. Revolver and Sergeant Pepper are considered near-perfect folk/psych rock records and you might as well throw in Magical Mystery Tour even though it didn't sell as well and it was a soundtrack for a dumb movie.

Then the White Album was when things got weird, lol. The crew went to India and started smoking weed and doing religious meditation with the Maharishi Yogi. John Lennon starting hanging out with his experimental art GF Yoko Ono and eventually getting hooked on heroin. This wiki excerpt is especially interesting when listening to that record:

Beatles biographer Philip Norman comments that, from the start, each of the group's two principal songwriters shared a mutual disregard for the other's new compositions: Lennon found McCartney's songs "cloyingly sweet and bland", while McCartney viewed Lennon's as "harsh, unmelodious and deliberately provocative".

You can basically tell which songs on White Album are Paul's (the beautiful, more conventional ones) and which are John's (the harder ones and Revolution 9, the weirdest song of all time).

After that they basically started breaking up and Abbey Road (good as hell) and especially Let it Be (underrated, IMO) were a lot more mellow and cohesive. Especially that final thing on Abbey Road that all runs together.

Fascinating stuff IMO and if you're coming from the rap world (not just Cragmatic, but all NT hip-hop guys who might be interested), you've got a whole world out there of super interesting rock from an insane period of time.
