Nothing better than Good ol' Rock n' Roll

[contrast]

So what favorite oldie but goodies do you have for a Rock n Roll bands form 1945-1990?




Also, which one do you think was the absolute best and why?
-Your answer must be at least one sentence, of course.


My Favorite is the band Queen. They are greatly known for their song called 'Bohemian Raphsady' and I also love their song "Another One Bites the Dust".

They just don't make rock songs like they used to in the 70's. Listen to

YouTube - Boston - Foreplay-Long time

I'm talking all Rock n' roll, metal is not what I was thinking either; (Queen is rock/Hard rock)

Man that was a great pick Vid!!

I've seen people confuse the two before. I mean, I can see how people would consider metal as a sub-genre of rock. I just don't find screaming inaudible crap into a mic as songs.

i think it's fair to say that Iced Earth, Hammerfall Dream Evil, Demons And Wizards, Blind Guardian, Masterplan, Nocturnal Rites, etc. would like a word with oyu on that stereotypical statement

you can find their vids and songs on youtube, just do a search. or i'll post 'em for ya if you're interested

also some bands don't SCREAM they growl. and most of the time the words are understandable if you are reading the lyrics WHILE listening to the song (bands like Amon Amarth, Ancient [fin], God Dethroned, Destroyer 666, Novembers Doom, Hollenthon, Naglfar [swe], etc.) growl, but they do not scream, it just takes some getting used to for some people..... those bands also have vids on youtube to chekc out if you're interested in something different than mainstream garbage (imo)

if you want info on said bands (lyrics, albums, band info, etc.) visit www.metal-archives.com please let me know what you think of the bands i mentioned (after listening to a few songs, that is)

Ah, well, most of my favorites seem to fall under what people call "classic rock," yes...but that's not to say I don't enjoy some modern rock and 90s material as well.

But yeah, my favorite band ever is Led Zeppelin. Has been ever since I heard "The Ocean." I now own all of their albums and rock out to at least one of them almost every day.

Other favorites that are "old": The Doors, The Beatles, Bob Dylan, Pink Floyd, David Bowie, Van Halen, Blue Oyster Cult, Rush, Queen, Electric Light Orchestra, Deep Purple, Marc Cohn, Tom Petty (solo and with The Heartbreakers), The Eagles, The Who, America, Boston...

You know, I'll just stop there. There's way too many old acts I listen to for me to sit here and name them all.

Sure they do. Listen to The Black Keys and tell me they don't sound like a 70s blues-rock band.

Also, ouch, poor metal fans. Metal is a form of rock, you know. I personally like some 80s heavy metal pioneers like Iron Maiden and Megadeth. And of course the ever-popular Metallica.

ok, I will overlook your ignorant and meaningless "attack" on metal and I'll just reply to this thread.
Queen is indeed great and my fav songs are "killer queen" and "princes of the universe".

My all time favorite classic rock band is Led Zepplin

It's hard to pick one favorite, it's hard to even pick 10 favorites. But I guess off the top of my head I am a huge fan of America and their songs "Horse with no name" and "Carry on my wayward son"
