Your favorite classic rock bands

[Matt]

What is your favorite classic/ old prog band? Obviously, mine is led zeppelin.

 

[Burnout]

Pink Floyd, without a doubt.

 

[Kenneth R.]

voted Rush, but it was between them and Pink Floyd. I honestly don't care that much about the others.

 

[The Stormbringer]

Out of those, definitely Rush, although I don't think of them as a "classic rock" band because they're still alive and very much kickin'... moreso than any of the other bands in there. Apart from Rush, it's gotta be Uriah Heep.

Rush is my favorite. They were also the very first rock concert I ever saw (what fantastic luck). I also love Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, and Aerosmith.

RUSH!!!

 

[War_Blade]

sabbath, the fathers of heavy music!!!


rush was my second choice...

 

[SilentRealm]

i put sabbath seeing as they were basically my introduction to metal

 

[Babykabob]

WHERE'S KANSAS???? or BOSTON??? voted Pink Floyd tho...

 

[Luis]

A tie between ELP and Jethro Tull

 

[Platinum Maze]

Zeppelin. Huge influence growing up...

 

[Krakatau]

Gonna sound cliche, but Sabbath and Purple. Hendrix and Cream are up there for me too.

 

[DoomsdayZach]

thank you for putting the "none" option.

 

[RobbM]

If it wasn't for ELP I wouldnt be listening to SymX..

If it wasn't for Rush, I'd be a total ignoramus.

I would think so, with your 'behind a glass' reference from carnevil9.

 

[NegativeVolume]

What about the Beatles?

Out of the list I'd have to say Rush only because I don't know very much about most of them. I love a lot of stuff that's not up there: Kansas, Hendrix, Cream/Clapton. Simon and Garfunkel(le)...I only know of maybe an album's worth of their songs, but I really really like what I've heard so far.

 

[The Stormbringer]

Another glaring absentee, besides Kansas, is Queen.
