 Lol that anyone thinks Steely Dan, Elton John and Billy Joel are rock. Edit: I'm king of the hill again.

I saw billy idol play live three or four years ago. His show actually ruled. He also popped his shirt off and was pretty shredded for a sixty year old.

I'm surprised to see people ranking Aerosmith that high. The only song of theirs I really like is Dream On. Everything else is meh. To me, Run DMC is what makes that Walk This Way collaboration any good.

Billy Joel owns, and he gets a lot of play on classic rock radio stations (in some markets), even if I wouldn’t strictly call him “classic rock,” or even “rock” necessarily

Putting Aerosmith as B tier is hilarious. Maybe B as in Butthole tier.

Phlegmish posted:It's embarrassing but I keep getting Billy Joel and Billy Idol confused, not being very familiar with either of them, though there are a few Idol hits I like. One time at a party I was half drunk and talking to a guy who said he liked Billy Joel. I said yeah that song Dancing With Myself is pretty good, and I was surprised that he didn't seem to know it I hate rebel yell but I love dancing with myself  In conclusion, Billy Joel is a land of contrasts

60s and 70s Classic Rock was called "classic rock" in the 60s and 70s. You'll never escape it.

Late-era addition to the format, but I will jam out every time the local DJ bothers to play it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vk9L0qUd3sI Years ago, the late night DJs on my local classic rock station* used to slip this one in when they thought they could get away with it, while still meeting their quota of commercials: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R82OM5tzcrk And if the format must be dragged into the '90s, then I'm going to be a controversial rear end in a top hat and insist that these should be included in the rotation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h0OurHnqWp0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jIqt2HSdDUY *"KHKK Modesto/Stockton... KDJK Mariposa/Merced... 104.1, THE HAWK!!!" Still one of the strongest radio signals in central California.

I can’t even begin to imagine the thinking that leads someone to put a loving jam band on a list of classic rock. The grateful dead are 110% absolute loving garbage and their fans are someone even worse than ripping off blues tracks from far more talented acts then stretching them out to last 45 minutes. I mean that takes some loving balls. Like, not even Led Zeppelin did that to the music they stole.

Their songs have a clear structure, a limited amount of noodling, and last less than three hours. If you want indulgent from that era, it'd have to be something like In A Gadda Da Vida https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UIVe-rZBcm4 Phlegmish fucked around with this message at 14:29 on May 9, 2020 |

The saddest truth about classic rock is that once you get away from overplayed radio singles and listen to a few live cuts you realize Jimi Hendrix is actually underrated https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tIuf_SPvX-Y

Bruce Springsteen before...I want to say 1985 but most likely before that, owns hard. I like a good 90-95% of his total catalogue, but his most recent album, Western Stars, was kind of bad. Or maybe not bad, but it's very late Bruce Springsteen, and doesn't hold a candle to his earlier stuff. The Springsteen from the 70's was a monster in his day, a charismatic commander of the stage. I think what happened to Bruce after the mid 80's is the same thing that happened to most of the rockers of legend: They got old, they realized how wealthy they became, and the fire of their youths had started to sputter. For Springsteen in particular, you not only had a bunch of pretenders to his sound that people started to call "heartland rock", but people themselves also mischaracterized him as an American hero singing for the common man, and eventually he started to believe that himself. To his credit, after the huge success of Born in the USA he knew he couldn't top it, and didn't want to, so his next album, next few actually, were essentially a middle aged man taking a look at his life and reflecting on everything, which a lot of the people who believed that hype about him didn't want. But the guy who made his mark on rock n roll history, that desperate, angry guy from the 70's, wasn't writing for anybody but himself, and it just so happened that a lot of people connected with that music and, like a lot of music fans, believed it was talking about them. I don't expect anyone to listen to this nearly 11 minute long live recording of Prove It All Night, but it owns, and I would argue it's not even the best version. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DWos8TS9yaE Really, you could argue the mid 60's to late 70's was the real golden age of rock 'n roll. Meatloaf, for example, released Bat out of Hell in '77. The Beatles' Revolver was '66. Abbey Road in '69 (nice). Warren Zevon's Excitable Boy was in '78. Eagles released Hotel California in late '76, and even though it's become very overrated by now, if you strip away the years of critical acclaim and hype about it, it really is a very good album and title song. Linda Ronstadt's Heart Like a Wheel in '74. Floyd released Dark Side of the Moon in '73. Fleetwood Mac had Rumours in '77 and then Tusk in '79 (Tusk is awesome and very underrated in my opinion). What I would be interested in learning more about is where this creative explosion came from. It probably started with the Beatles naturally, or maybe the Stones, but if you wanted to trace things back further you would have to go to Dylan, Presley, the various unsung black heroes of folk, jazz, and blues (of which rock 'n roll was originally simply another form of R&B), as well as the changing landscape of the world in the 60's.
