Your five most beloved classic rock acts

i'm considering the first two big star releases as seperate records… just recently heard the third release and it's just a bit messy and not up to par with the first two.

seriously regardless of how influential love is considered it's just great music worthy of being listened to anyone who likes late 60's rock.

i agree completely … but the cover of "femme fatale" is pretty sweet

Holocaust is maybe the most depressing song ever.

I believe "classic rock" is radio station terminology. I happen to listen to a good deal of classic rock in the car, believing it to be the best free radio format, when I'm not lucky enough to happen upon an independent or college station. Thus, I would take the term "classic rock" to mean bands that actually get played on classic rock radio.

While the Stooges, the Velvet Underground, Big Star, and Love all have their respective artistic merits, not once have I ever heard them on a classic rock station. So while they are ROCK, and in some opinions are CLASSIC, I would argue they are not "classic rock".

To my total astonishment, I have actually heard the Stooges, the Velvets, and Love on WARW in the past few weeks. Still way too much Bon Jovi, but the trend is right….

ac/dc especially with bon scott really is one solid rock band. they would be at the heart of rock in my opinion. no frills, no fluff, realistic lyrics, pure rock.
