I don't see how Blood On The Tracks is "less classic" than Highway 61 or Blonde On Blonde. From what I see, it's heralded just as much as the other two and does have that legendary status.

The Clash - London is Calling
*barf* The only good song by The Clash is "Should I Stay or Should I Go" imo.


Oddly enough, despite the hundreds of good things mentioned in this thread, I somehow winded up buying the newest "The Strokes" album.  Reptilia is a freakin' dope ass song.

Blood on the Tracks is a very good album.


I just like Highway and Times Are a Changin better.

but the music sucks because the keyboards don't have the cold/mechanical sound they had but a wannabe techno sound that it's pathetic for Rammstein standars.

Its my favorite album.
Its just that the songs on Blonde on Blonde and Highway 61 get played on classic rock radio more and are sometimes recognizable.
Forget i said anything. Buy every single Dylan album.
I do

I may just have to kill you.

Alternatively, pick up "Combat Rock" by the Clash.  That's got "Should I stay or Should I go" and "Rock the Casba"

I actually have a "Best of the Clash" compilation, which was actually 3 of their albums, including all the ones you've mentioned.

On the whole, it all made me want to puke.  I really wanted to like them, truly.  I just didn't enjoy their sound in the least.

So, classic rock is now everything with a guitar before 1979?

It seems so, Talking Heads? The Clash? Roses?

I dunno what this thread means by Classic Rock now, but check out Marquee Moon by Television.

Yeah, that's another thing.  The Clash is the origins of Punk music, more or less.  Not classic rock.

This is merely a problem of confusion. That person meant to say Three Dog Night. Three Dog Night -> Temple of the Dog -> Stone Temple Pilots

Actually, I think Clasic Rock means Dad Rock. That does not make it good or bad, just a particular time.

did i? OH NO! i kind of said i don't really get the classification of "classic". and no i did not mean three dog night. (i actually like three dog night.) [that is a joke. don't take it seriously.] i don't listen to any of the three i listed. those are some bands one of my friends likes and she listens to "classic rock".

i agree with spaceman. it's "dad rock". all of my friends dads listen to that stuff and pretty much all of the bands we've been listing.

First of all, I meant it as a joke, so you don't need act defensively. Secondly, whether or not Stone Temple Pilots fits your definition of "classic rock" it does not fit any definition of "70s/80s rock".

For more info on Grand Funk please consult your local library!

A hidden gem of classic rock is Ry Cooder. He provided the lead guitar for the Rolling Stones` "Honky Tonk Woman" and is probably the best slide guitar player of the past 50 years. Into the Purple Valley and Paradise Lunch are probably his two best albums.

Also, definitely check out Creedence Clearwater Revival. This may surprise you, but they had a rather large impact on the foundation of indie rock, at least in ideas more than music.

uh. i wasn't being defensive, i was joking. i didn't mean to come off as defensive. i was saying i didn't get it. because i don't. and i said above i don't listen to them. one of my friends defines them as classic. so i'm just going to remove it as it's a mistake. my bad.

Creedance is one of my favorite bands, actually.  We used to have some CDs of theirs, but as with most of my mom's music, it simply up and dissapeared one day.

So I picked up "Chronicle" volumes 1 and 2, which is like... every good song they ever did.  I'm happy with it.

The Stranglers



I've been listening to Wolfmother a bunch lately, and they have a very classic rock sound in my opinion, so they might be good for you as well

Neil Young with Crazy Horse- "Everybody Knows This is Nowhere" or Neil Young's "After the Gold Rush" is a great one

The Kinks- "The Kinks are the Village Green Preservation Society" or "Arthur and the Decline and Fall of the British Empire" (actually, any '60s stuff by the Kinks is guaranteed to be freakin' awesome)

Love & Arthur Lee- "Forever Changes"

Anything by the Zombies
