Wacka Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 This thread came at the right time. I had my 40th HS reunion this past weekend and people are still talking about HS stuff on Facebook. Listening to some of these songs brought back a lot of memories this afternoon. Hope to run into a few old classmates at Larkinville in an hour or two.

DriveFor1Outta5 Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 I love classic rock, and feel very unfortunate to not have grown up while Rock music was at the top of its game. I almost solely listen to classic rock radio while I'm driving, and so many classic rock songs are so great that I never tire of them. However, I find it amazing how large of a catalog these radio stations have to choose from, yet they stick to the same songs over and over. So many great classic rockers have deep catalogs that should be further explored by classic rock radio. They also completly neglect new releases from classic rock bands. I'll admit that many bands have seen better days, but many others still release new music that people should have the opportunity to hear. Because I feel this way, there are more songs that I think should be played than I could list. However, I will give it a shot. I'd have to say all the Cheap Trick hits beside I Want You To Want Me, Kiss Detroit Rock City, and Thin Lizzy Jailbreak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 (edited) He attacks apolitical bands, conservatives, fascists and racists. What more can you want in four minutes of music? Edited August 26, 2015 by Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

/dev/null Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 Wouldn't call this a classic. But a golden oldie that I caught on the radio while driving https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vgSn0SbQJQI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only band I liked of 5 years or so that I liked was Kings of Leon. They got just enough play for me to at least want to explore more from them Early Genesis like the tune below was some great stuff. Only their later lightweight pop stuff seems to get occasional airplay Edited August 26, 2015 by JTSP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clippers of Nfl Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 Wow, no votes for Freebird, Hotel California or Stairway to Heaven? Freebird. Cool ass song. Too long though. I think it's 9 minutes long. Hotel Cali, one of the best songs of all time. Good call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

inkman Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 although not quite as ignored as some other songs, a lot of the early, heavier stuff like this from VH gets buried in favor of their later synth-pop forays like "Jump", or even worse most anything with Hagar I was about to post this, any previous hagar VH gets that **** turnt up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Real Buffalo Joe Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 If we're talking Van Halen, I gotta throw in Ice Cream Man. Basically any Skynyrd besides Sweet Home Alabama, Simple Man, and Free Bird. All great songs, but they really have such a great catalouge. The Ballad of Curtis Loew comes to mind.
