James P. Galvatron Posted November 1, 2004 Share Posted November 1, 2004 I was wondering what OB members liked to listen to considering Classic Rock groups new and old OB members who do you like or can't get enough of groups like AC/DC, The Ramones, Def Leppard, Guns and Roses, Queen, The Who, and other groups My favorite group is Creedence Clearwater Revival what about the rest of you.

Japan Posted November 1, 2004 Share Posted November 1, 2004 [COLOR=Navy]The bands for me are pretty much Queen, Guns N' Roses, Phil Collins, Dire Straits, ZZ Top, Van Halen, and Tom Petty. They are all awesome. I love to listen to them as much as my modern rock and techno. They all have something unique in their music. They are all cool, and I like almost all of their songs.[/COLOR] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jokopoko Posted November 2, 2004 Share Posted November 2, 2004 [COLOR=TEAL][SIZE=1]I'd have vote G'n'R seeing as I've listened to more of their stuff but I'm still partial to Aerosmith. Has anyone heard this new band called 'Velvet Revolver' who are made up os some of the old Guns...I've not but I haven't got a very high opinion of them seeing as they haven't got Axl Rose and he made that band :p. Aerosmith are good for their comedy value I think, songs like 'Dude looks like a lady' and 'Love in an elevator' are classics and can never die :p.[/SIZE][/COLOR] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeathBug Posted November 2, 2004 Share Posted November 2, 2004 Well, the Ramones are more punk-ish, but they're still my favorites. Rest in Peace, Johhny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gavin Posted November 2, 2004 Share Posted November 2, 2004 [SIZE=1]Interesting, most interesting. Well out of the above if I had a gun put to my head to make a choice I'd probably go for Queen, there's just something about their music that makes you listen to it over an over. To be honest though my favourite Classic Rock group would be Thin Lizzy, yes I can already hear people say that I'm biased because they're Irish but the thing is that they just have great music in my opinion. Stuff like "[I]The Boys are back in Town[/I]" will always been classic, Queen though come in a very close second.[/SIZE] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Epitome Posted November 3, 2004 Share Posted November 3, 2004 [quote name='Kane][SIZE=1']Interesting, most interesting.[/SIZE][/quote] [color=SeaGreen][size=1]Ive realized that you love those words... lol. But to stay on topic, there are alot of bands I enjoy very much. But I have one that if you dont like this person, you are crazy. And that person is John Mellencamp. He is a classic rock God. He is really one of my heroes in real life. His music is so amazing, there really are no words to describe it. I also like The Who, GNR, Zepplin, etc. But Mellencamp has got to be my favorite classic rocker.[/size][/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granted that doesn't take much, but nonetheless it's a song that I think is absolutely awful. I shouldn't judge artists on one song, it's just my opinion, yadda yadda, but nonetheless I absolutely abhor that song. I don't know the name of it, but it's the really annoying one that they play on the radio sometimes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DetectiveMikeRS Posted November 7, 2004 Share Posted November 7, 2004 Except for Creedence and the Ramones, I like all the bands on the list. But top my favorities, who aren't on the list, have to Rush, U2, Journey and The Eagles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonymousSource Posted November 7, 2004 Share Posted November 7, 2004 I'm a huge fan of 80s rock. I appreciate Led Zepplin the most because they were the precursor(sp?) to much of modern rock. Not much else to say, I love Ozzy, AC/DC, and Aerosmith... as well as Old School Punk - Dead Kennedies, Ramones, stuff like that. Old school Metallica and Iron Maiden did a lot for modern rock, too.

Xander Harris Posted November 7, 2004 Share Posted November 7, 2004 I'd have to put the Who, Aerosmith, and Gunds + Roses pretty high up there... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lcrisler Posted November 9, 2004 Share Posted November 9, 2004 Ultimate favorite classic rock band...RUSH. They've been making music for 30 years, their older stuff is still relevant and their newer stuff rocks. Geddy Lee is hands down the best bassist in rock, and he can sing too...he must have sold his soul to satan. I can't imagine a better drummer than Neil Peart and while Alex doesn't write lyrics or sing, I can't think of what the band would be like without his guitar playing and rapport with the guys.

Lunai Posted November 9, 2004 Share Posted November 9, 2004 [font=bookman old style][color=blue]I had to vote for Aerosmith. I think that I've been listening to some of their music forever! And I like almost everything that they come out with.[/font][/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moi Posted November 9, 2004 Share Posted November 9, 2004 Ozzy Osbourne is the greatest man! I know many people will disagree with me about this, because it's such a widely opinionated subject, but it's true man. I mean, if you think about it, Ozzy is credited as being the godfather of metal. And I think he's credited with that for a reason don't you? He's great, and that's all there is to it. Give it up for Ozzy Osbourne ladies and gentlemen! Aiyeee Aiyeee Aiyeeee.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LostProphet Posted November 10, 2004 Share Posted November 10, 2004 With the now defunct OWE...I was the only member...my theme song was Thunderstruck by AC/DC. That should be a hint Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Queen Asuka Posted November 10, 2004 Share Posted November 10, 2004 [color=hotpink][size=1]I am so disappointed that Pink Floyd is not on the list. I seriously think that they would have to be my favorite, with Led Zeppelin following close after. I never really got in the classic rock scene, but I grew up listening to it and it just so happens that early 90s rock is what I got into and what makes me all gushy and sentimental. But Pink Floyd...I have a lot of memories of my dad being silly, of my mom (her maiden name is Floyd) and all of her silly stories from middle school when she used to convince people t hat they were related. Anywho, I'm also a HUGE HUGE HUGE fan of Tom Petty. Gah, his music is so awesome. Carry on, lol.[/color][/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gavin Posted November 10, 2004 Share Posted November 10, 2004 [quote name='AnonymousSource']Old school Metallica and Iron Maiden did a lot for modern rock, too.[/quote] [SIZE=1]Yeah definitely though Metallica started out based on Lars Ulrich's love of British Heavy Metal bands, when himself and James Hetfield first met, Hetfield said that Ulrich's music collection was "F***ing Huge". I'd say that without bands like Metallica and Iron Maiden modern Rock/Heavy Metal wouldn't be the genre it is today. [/SIZE] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James P. Galvatron Posted November 12, 2004 Author Share Posted November 12, 2004 When I made this Thread I never thought it would get this big I myself wish I would have made it so One Person could vote more than once cause I would have voted for not only Creedence Clearwater but Ozzy Osbourne, Black Sabbath, Aerosmith, Led Zepplein, and AC/DC, and Iron Butterfly.

Her Black Wings Posted November 23, 2004 Share Posted November 23, 2004 [size=1] If I were to go back to my loyal classic rock roots, then I'd have to pick REM as my favorite classic rock band, mostly because of 'Losing my religion' or ACDC, some days I can never get 'Thunderstruck' out of my head. ^^[/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Posted November 23, 2004 Share Posted November 23, 2004 [color=gray][font=Comic Sans MS][size=2]Even though I'm only 15, I have grown up, and loved almost every band listed. They are what get me up in the morning. Ac/Dc's Thunderstruck is a favorite, and I, like Her Black Wings, can't seem to get parts of it out of my head. I grew up, mostly at a friends house, listening to Def Leapperd, and [color=gray]Led Zeppelin, also [/color][color=gray]Guns and Roses, etc, etc. Somehow, Aerosmith seems to be a favorite amoung my sister, and mom. Even though they don't like rock. My dad and I listen to it though.[/color][/size][/font][/color] [font=Comic Sans MS][size=2][color=#808080]To the person interested, I have listened to a few songs of Velvet Revolver, and two that I recommend are Fall to Pieces, and Slither.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Comic Sans MS][size=2][color=#808080][/color][/size][/font] [font=Comic Sans MS][size=2][color=#808080][/color][/size][/font] [font=Comic Sans MS][size=2][color=#808080]According to MSN music, "[/color][/size][/font][font=Comic Sans MS][size=2][color=#808080]Velvet Revolver consists of Slash (guitar), Duff Mckagan (bass), and Matt Sorum (drums) all of Guns N' Roses, with the new additions of Dave Kushner (Dave Navarro) for extra guitar, STP's Scott Weiland as lead singer"[/color][/size][/font] [font=Comic Sans MS][size=2][color=#808080][/color][/size][/font] [font=Comic Sans MS][size=2][color=#808080]EDIT: I CAN'T BELIEVE I FORGOT QUEEN!!!!
