    Can't believe there is only one mention of Queen!

    wait for it...

    ABBA

    :blushing:

    If anybody tries to make fun of you, just remind them that ABBA is in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

    Whatever that is worth.

    All playlists should start with Santa Monica by Everclear.

    That is just one man's opinion.

    How are you defining Classic Rock? Because Classic Rock now includes '80s Hair Metal and Grunge bands ...

    If we get to define it anyway we want then I will go ahead and declare Everclear my favorite classic rock band of all time lol.

    I'm not defining it any way I want. I'm 45. I started High School in 1982 - At the time, The Beatles were classic rock. At the time, They had been done for 10 years. Led Zeppelin Was classic rock - they had been gone for 2 years ...

    My Son is 17. When he started high school in 2010, Nirvana had been done for 16 years ....

    Doo-Wop Music had been dead and gone for 20 years when I started High shcool, and it was what the "Oldies" stations played. When my son started high school, Hair Metal had been dead and gone for 20 years ...

    In my area, the classic Rock Stations have all added 80's and Grunge Pioneers to their playlists.

    Time marches on, man ....

    Not sure about others, but I consider classics/oldies whatever you want to call them 60's-80's, hell 50's too.

    How old are we talking? It's scary that Nirvana and 90's music is now starting to be put into the classic rock genre

    Pink Floyd
    Tom Petty (seen him 7 times live)
    Allman Brothers (I've seen them once and Warren Haynes spin off band Gov't Mule)
    Queen
    Zeppelin
    Clapton
    CCR
    Steve Miller (saw them twice)
    Lynyrd Skynyrd
    Rolling Stones
    many more...

    Oh I agree....except I don't think a band has to be "done" to be classic. Bruce Springsteen is classic and he is still going.
