Can you old bastards help me with a classic rock playlist?

[highland145]

who? lol

Do without.

 

[DaveSimmons]

Cheap Trick - "Dream Police". "Voices", "Ain't That A Shame" (Budokan version), etc.

Emerson, Lake & Palmer
Yes

 

[Ns1]

My guess is that there are many bands where you may be familiar with only one or two hits, and couldn't name the band even you recognized the tune.

I'm familiar with about half the list (at least the hits or the style), but the other half is indeed foreign to me.

 

[Carson Dyle]

Didn't see Radar Love or Black Betty.

Exactly. Golden Earring. You wouldn't think to add them to a top 100 (or even top 1000) list of classic rock artists, but Radar Love is just about as classic as any rock song ever recorded.

 

[LevelSea]

Partridge Family
The Osmonds

 

[rudeguy]

Social Distortion

Because Guitar Hero

 

[rudeguy]

Oh shit. Blondie!

 

[Carson Dyle]

Partridge Family
The Osmonds

You forgot The Jackson 5.

 

[Ns1]

Exactly. Golden Earring. You wouldn't think to add them to a top 100 (or even top 1000) list of classic rock artists, but Radar Love is just about as classic as any rock song ever recorded.

just fired it up, I can confidently say I have never heard this song before today.

Oh shit. Blondie!

unfortunately she's been sampled too much

 

[Cerpin Taxt]

Edgar Winter
King Crimson
Robin Trower
Bruce Springsteen
INXS

 

[Carson Dyle]

Can't help you much, then. Sounds like you need to just dig up a playlist from one of the classic rock stations and find out which 50 songs they play in endless rotation, because that's likely to be all you're familiar with.

 

[Kadarin]

Here's a few other artists

Bachman-Turner Overdrive
Boston
Dire Straits
Golden Earring (the Radar Love song, along with Twilight Zone)
Jefferson Airplane (NOT Jefferson Starship, or Starship)
Joe Walsh/Eagles/James Gang
Lynyrd Skynyrd
Pink Floyd
Rolling Stones
Rush
Steve Miller Band
Tom Petty
Van Halen (from the 70s with DLR)
ZZ Top

 

[Cienja]

Led Zeppelin
Iron Butterfly
Ozzy
Iron Maiden
The Who

Or a bit more mellow:

Van Halen (with Roth and Haggar)
Rush
Jefferson Airplane
Boston
Kansas

 

[Ns1]

k, I think I'm pretty tapped out. Thanks all for the suggestions - I'm sure you guys named off every decent classic rock band.

D:
You are effing kidding me. What about Black Betty?

I hope you redeem yourself.

Would sing that to my kid when he was little, along with other stuff. He, now 13, was humming some rock tune last week so I asked him if he knew who that was...Nope.

 

[highland145]

Is Stray Cats rock? Maybe Rockabilly.

 

[Kadarin]

Is Stray Cats rock? Maybe Rockabilly.

Nope, not rock. Much more like 80s cheese.

 

[lxskllr]

Is Stray Cats rock? Maybe Rockabilly.

I like Brian Setzer Orchestra better. Thanks for deciding what I'm listening to now :^)

Yes I have heard of this. Are you ready to die on the inside?

this is where I know the song from
