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?

Classic music is Mozart and such. This would be classic rock, my dear Travis.

I think people are taking my Jonas Brothers comment a bit too seriously.

My God, go troll someone else. You didn't say that when he was schooled by an older member.

Do you know what "troll" even means? I'm trying to get this thread steered towards a semi-constructive argument while you spit out things like "The Beatles > You" or "Led Zeppelin owns your soul" or "Today sucks because the Jonas Brothers exist."

If it hurts you so much to read it, put me on ignore. No matter what I say in any thread, you're always right behind to say something ignorant.

So what you're really talking about is not so much "classic rock" as "rock music that's older than you". It's a weird perspective to have, that everything that was recorded before you were born is worthless. I can't say I've ever had that viewpoint. Even when I was younger and more narrow minded in my music tastes I still liked music that was older than me as well as newer music.

I think a big part of it is that they laid out a big part of the foundation for music today. Music today wouldn't be what it is without those bands, because a lot of music today is just trying to recreate what was done then.

Personally, I like all kinds of music, but I most certainly don't think older music is "boring" by any means, and by dismissing it as such because it doesn't have whatever "flash" current music has is robbing yourself of the joy that music can bring. Music can be timeless to me. Sure, whatevers on the radio nowadays may be more "advanced" in some sense, but it fails to reach heights that I feel were reached with music from older time periods. If the emotional weight of the music touches me, that's what matters. I don't want gimmicks, I want heart. That cannot be defined by time period.


I was planning on writing much more, but it's quite late and I can't stay up, so I'll make a much better post on the subject in the near future.
