I couldn't vote for any of those. Though I don't consider metal to be 'classic' rock, they are all great.

Southern Rock of the 70's, which is pretty limited in scope but it is among my favorite and most listened-to variety of the classic rock era.

I cannot bring myself to cast a proper vote, because I know very little beyond the US/UK contributions.

The poll question is Best rock music comes from. No classic in the sentence.

US!

krashkart · 07-07-10, 12:24 PM

So it goes. Classic rock is my rock.

Then either the thread title or the poll title is a lie.

Or at best wrong.

Iron Maiden.

(imo the last of a varied and distinguished line of great brittish rock bands)

Oasis
Queen
Genesis
Def Leppard
Whitesnake

This is an easy win for US.

As far as metal is concerned, it's a huge loss for the US. With a few exceptions, all good metal comes from Europe (especially Scandinavia).

I have no problem with your other selections though... however, you did omit Judas Priest, I'm sure this oversight was not intentional.

It probably was intentional. He didn't include it because I already did so in my list

I always had some aversion for british traditions (particularly for the Royal Family and the British Monarchy)

But when it comes to music : UK rules
