i don't agree with the system of a down still putting out good music.. they did.. a few albums ago.. i don't even notice them any more.. but there not as good as they were.. blah! MY OPINION!!! that is all

There was way more than 10 amazing bands of the past. Yeah, there is some decent stuff out there now, the White Stripes are pretty good I like them for the most part. It's just hard for me to take something like Led Zeppelin IV out of my cd player and stick in the White Stripes album and really enjoy it like I did Zeppelin. I guess I have spoiled myself with great rock groups of the past and will slowly have to dull myself down to todays music to really enjoy it like I do the older stuff. Music to me is most importantly about talent and the ability of the musicians to play their instruments, and to me the older bands had so much more talent that these newer groups just dont posess. Music is too much about image, especially rap music. I don't listen to music to be cool, popular, or anything else like that. If someone were to walk around looking like Jimmy Page did in the early 70s with the long hair and all people would point and laugh at you. Image didn't matter, it was the music, and sharing the music and performing the hell outta the instruments on stage to please the croud that mattered. Sure they got filthy rich and got all the girls they wanted, but all in all it was about the music. I'm sure there is some great stuff out there thats fresh out of the studio, but why should I have to search in extreme measures to find it. If there's a band out there that can be compared to Led Zeppelin, or the Stones or any great band of the past, wouldn't they rise to the top immediatley, or would they just linger around an independant record store or a local college radio station, never to make it big out in the real world? I think differently. I am in a band that plays alot of Zeppelin, Floyd, and other classic rock covers, and the crowd response is crazy. People are starving to hear great music, and mtv and modern radio is just not cutting it. Isn't It Ironic that almost every town there is in the U.S., unless it's some hole in the wall, has a classic rock station? That is because there are many people who realize that modern music isnt as good. I used to think it was very odd and uncool to listen to something that was even an album old, let alone a decade old, but now I really don't care. I listen to what sounds good to me, I could care less whether it was 500 years old, or 5 minutes old, or whether the lead singer was a fat ugly old man, or if he looked cool at the time. Image is my last concern when it comes to music.

Wow, you should of mentioned led zeppelin more :rolleyes: i love how you said they're were more the ten ten amazing bands yet you listed 3! HOMG Seriously the majority of classic rock groups are boring psychadelic crap and instrumental talent? Umm the beatles sucked instrumentally i suppose it worked for what they did but whatever, ive learned not to argue with you anymore because all you do is go OMG LEDZEPCREAMFLOYD!. So im done.

That's a bit more than 10, and yeah there may be a couple new bands in there, but for the most part they are older. Please don't condemn me of being into only a handful of great bands anymore. Led Zep is my favorite of them all, am I not allowed to have a favorite band?

Oh yeah, sorry I forgot this was English Class

Wow, you know how many of those bands aren't classic rock? and how many of them aren't that good? and its the fact you were saying their was more then ten good classic rock bands and all you did was mention zep and floyd and the stones and zep like ten times. To be honest i stand by my statement. Classic rock wasn't that great, you have idiotic fanboys making it out to be.

Another thing, classic rock is trendy. Oh and nice copy and pasting.
and i could make a list of modern rock bands equal in skill to that.
If i didn't have to leave soon i would.

Ok, so there may be about 10 bands in there that arent CR. Who defines what is classic rock and what's not? I hear pearl jam and soundgarden on the CR station down here. What did I copy and paste again, I'm pretty sure I looked at my music library and went down the list on what bands had talent and typed them, it took me forever but I wanted to prove a point. You win though, with your classic rock wasn't that great statement, with all those supporting arguments how can I stand a chance. Oh, and the do you \know how many of them arent that good statement too, since you are the say all judge of what is good music and what's not. Oh, wait did you not say you weren't going to argue with me becuase all I mention is Zep, cream and floyd?

i love classic rock music.. its the very reason i love music today :o)

Same here, well classic rock and THC combined...
