I have three:

Doors
Jethro Tull
Rush

I just never understood how people could play albums or tapes of these bands over and over - still don't.


,p> Then again, maybe some folks don't like some of my favorites, either.

Rush, in fact. I’ve sort of gotten into Beethoven and Wagner, however. Classic rock radio stations just seem to play the same tired songs over and over again. My favorite singer to this day is still Natalie Merchant. Her voice sounds like a smile.

I do like a few individual songs, but I was never much of a fan of the Rolling Stones, the Who or the Doors. On the other hand, I came to like/appreciate Pink Floyd and the Allman Brothers as I got older.

I have two Rush tunes that I'd rank among the 100 best classic rock songs of all time: "Time Stand Still" and "Spirit of Radio."

I’m only agreeing with Rush.

Hate them.

A lot.

I forgot to mention ELO. But I could spend all day on this subject so I’ll just spare you that. Lots of people like to talk about rock bands they like.

Good question. All so called “progressive rock”. Art rock, standing on one leg and playing rock and roll on a flute? You’re kiddin’ me! All the pretentious Pink Floyds, ELOs, Emerson, Packard and Palmers, Moody Blues after the 1st album, same with Bloody Sweating Tears, and all of Chitkago.

Meh, all of them had some contributions to good music.

Favorites?

Maybe not, but still some memorable songs.

Nirvana, another band I just never got....The thing is, The Foo Fighters are a much better band, IMHO.

You're just a youngster.I came of age during the greatest decade (musically speaking) ever...the 1960’s.To me the 70’s were just one huge wasteland for music.But to each his own I guess.

My absolute favorite bands were Vanilla Fudge then Cactus when Fudge broke up and two went into Cactus; any iteration of Jeff Beck; Hendrix until Band of Gypsies (Buddy Miles cannot play drums).

Also liked Yes, ELP, Santana (while it was a band, not him), and Jefferson Airplane. Was ok with Zeppelin, but they weren't my favorite, and I hated the Who, even though they sat through our set at the Troubadour.
