You called classic rock classical music so really, your thread is invalid.

So? Who needs them when you have Zeppelin? You don't.

Well who needs Jonas Brothers when you have Radiohead?

Do you see what I did there?

Bands like the Beatles wrote music that reflected on the times and their music influenced a lot of other bands. Metalcore is garbage and doesn't influence anyone so even mentioning the Beatles and metalcore in the same paragraph is totally unacceptable.

And you're being just as ignorant as him saying that the entire genre is garbage.

It's an opinion.

You can stop trolling me now.

More people will agree with classic rock bands being an influence than metalcore bands. That was just MY opinion on metalcore because I don't like it. He doesn't have to like classic rock bands but he can't deny it's influence.

Influence shouldn't matter. It doesn't help them sound better.

I think people give older bands more credit than they deserve because of the fact they influenced tons of people, which is one of the reasons i made this thread in the first place.

And i still can't see why the beatles are so great, besides their influence on the whole world, lol

Why do so many people consider classical music to be so great? It seems like everyone gives a ton of credit to older music, like metallica, led zepplin, black sabbath etc. But i don't see what is so good about it. Yeah, it is good music don't get me wrong, but i don't see how anyone can stand to listen to a whole sabbath album and say it is freakin EPIC. Yeah, everyone has different tastes, but for kids like myself who weren't around in that era of music, since the style has changed drastically, i just can't see why so many people like it so much.

Personally, i think most classical music is good, but i don't consider it great anymore. Maybe 15 years ago it would fly, but now days it just sounds so boring.

A quick pictorial guide for you

Ok I, like Blue, will enjoy music from any time period as long as it does the right things for me. I usually like rock and roll, but not stuff that is to heavy or hectic. I've also been in to some trip hop lately. I don't enjoy rap (usually) or metal, but I understand that people do like it, and there's nothing I can do about it. I used to openly dismiss such music, but realize that that was stupid. Even among genre's you don't care for, there are acts that are better and more important, such as Public Enemy vs. Soulja Boy. Who knows, I may end up liking some metal or rap in the future. A year ago I wouldn't be caught dead listening to Portishead, now I love them. Hell, 5 or so years ago I probably would have called Radiohead crap haha.
