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.

Why a trump?

USA's King!



I already voted "other", but this should boost USA's numbers.

Er, you're asking which country produces X where X is an American genre (I had to look up "classic rock" on Wikipedia to figure that out). So I'm guessing the answer is... America! Or it could be 42.

It was only a phase.

As for 'Classic' rock, many years ago I worked at a warehouse in which a different employee got to choose the radio station every day. When one of the younger workers complained about always listening to 'Classic Rock' I said "Let's do a test. Point to one song you love to listen to that forty years from now you will be able to show to a youngster then and say 'Now that was great music.'"

He walked away.
