Which country produces the best classic rock music?

aergistal · 07-07-10, 04:54 PM

The way the mind works...it's rather silly that one reason why I associate UK and good music is because of Virgin Radio Classic Rock (now Absolute). I was very happy when I discovered that online radio. Next week I'll be in London for the first time. Can't wait to listen to Leona Graham without a browser.

Another reason is the Beatles and the Abbey road, lol.

Anyway if there is a classic rock song that I enjoy the most then that is More Than a Feeling by the american band Boston.

Do you have an all-time fav?

Stairway To Heaven??? YUCK!

Communication Breakdown, man!

Oh, and my personal favorite classic rock song was never a radio hit: Today, by Jefferson Airplane. No wait, the Airplane's entire first six albums. That was the best classic rock song ever.

Your Led Zeppelin point/choice is a good one because they are all excellent tracks but aergistal asked for an all time favourite so I had to pick one.

Here's one of many I could have chosen - Celebration Day (on vinyl)

Now Jefferson Airplane

A bit too hippy like for me I'm afraid

I know. I just have a dislike for most of their later music, and I've never know why. Actually my tastes are so weird that I've always prefered the Jeff Beck to LZ.

Well, having been a teenager in the '60s I'm kind of still a hippy myself.

I pass by this place all the time:

On January 20th, 1969, Led Zeppelin probably played to their smallest public audience (or close to it) there. Only about 50 people showed up.
