Your Favorite American Classic Rock Band? - Blu-ray Forum

Blu-ray1 · 01-05-2011, 12:26 PM

Lately i've been listening to alot of American classic rock, and i wanted to see who your favorite classic American (no Beatles or Stones) rock bands are. Since i'm new to classic rock this might not be the best list, but i hope i got most of the good ones. For me it was between Aerosmith, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Eagles, and The Doors. I had to go with CCR. They've had 7 albums and a lot of hits in the short time they were together.

Tough call for me between VH and Aerosmith...

master_8ball · 01-05-2011, 01:58 PM

CCR gets my vote followed by a tie of The Allman Brothers and Lynyrd Skynyrd.
I really like George Thorogood as well.

jawsfan1975 · 01-05-2011, 02:06 PM

The Eagles....still sound as good as ever live

Blu-Benny · 01-05-2011, 02:07 PM

out of that list, it has to be aerosmith for me.

their "get a grip" cd was actually the 1st cd i ever bought back when i was 12!!!

Based on this list, "Aerosmith." I've always loved "Dude Looks Like a Lady," and "Walk This Way."

But, if the Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, or maybe Def Leppard were up there, I probably would have picked one of them. "Aerosmith" never struck me as "classic" rock, even if they are turning into classics.

I went with The Eagles but early Aerosmith and ZZ Top are great.

I might make another poll later for best classic rock band worldwide.

Not really a rock fan but loved the 80's rock and it was a tough call between Aerosmith and Van Halen but I went with Aerosmith. Got Em!!

GLaDOS · 01-05-2011, 08:47 PM

It was a tough call between The Doors and Velvet Underground... but I say The Doors.

Johnny Vinyl · 01-05-2011, 09:41 PM

Sly & The Family Stone?

Great band, love them, but NOT Classic Rock. R&B yes.

Anyhoo..I voted The Eagles

BluLobsta · 01-05-2011, 09:58 PM

So much talent in classic rock that it's really difficult to have a favorite but it's hard to touch The Eagles (or Springsteen

)

gvortex7 · 01-05-2011, 10:31 PM

I think The Doors are the greatest American rock band period. They're definitely my favorite.

Blu-ray1 · 01-05-2011, 10:35 PM

500_Days_of_Night · 01-07-2011, 11:38 PM

Two lists and not one single mention of Cheap Trick...

I am offended!

Blu-ray1 · 01-07-2011, 11:50 PM

These lists never go well. There's always a ton of bands you will miss no matter what

.

rick88 · 01-08-2011, 12:59 AM

The Eagles all the way for me...
