The Band - the weight , up on cripple creek
Greg kihn - the breakup song Led Zeppelin - when the levy breaks Lynyrd Skynyrd - Tuesdays gone, Simple Man Queensryche - Silent Lucidity Rolling Stones - Sympathy for the Devil Traveling Wilburys - Handle With Care War - War (what is it good for) May not exactly be "rock" but I think they are classic.

Wow, what a good subject !
Many of my old fave's have already been well covered. For me Led Zep ( my fave is the first album I reckon ) was probably the finest band of that classic rock era - and many more fine one have been mentioned above. Being from the UK - here's a few British ( and Irish ) bands I didn't notice above worthy of note. Argent Black Sabbath Wishbone Ash any band with Jeff Beck in it Ten Years After Hawkwind ! Taste ( Rory Gallagher ) Free Yes early Fleetwood Mac ( with Peter Green ) - get Green Manalishi That covers a few 'genres' for one Graham |

The Jeff Beck Group albums: Truth Beck-Ola Rough and Ready Jeff Beck Group These albums have several "Sidemen" relativly unkown at the time who later formed or played in many other Great Bands. Rod Stewart (Solo, Faces) Ron Wood (Faces, Rolling Stones) Cozy Powell (Rainbow, Whitesnake, Black Sabbath, Brian May, Emerson Lake & Powell, Peter Green, Jon Lord etc...)  And in particular the grouping assembled for one of the tracks on Truth "Beck's Bolero" (John Bonham, John Paul Jones, and an ex-Yardbirds mate Jimmy Page who wrote the song for Jeff) formed a band of their own that some might recall (Led Zeppelin) Another project after the Jeff Beck Group, Beck Bogert & Appice featured two members of the '60's band Vanilla Fudge (Carmine Appice & Tim Bogert) who would go one to form Cactus, another (unkown) Legendary Band in it's own right. I could go on, but I have spent too much time allready (getting sidetracked reading the links I included) and will close by repeating what I stated at the begining: Jeff Beck is one of The Greatest Guitarists - Ever! P.S. You left out King Crimson, but then you don't want to get me started on them... |

It reminded me after your post - a promoter mate of mine used to get bands 'cheap' by promising stage hands etc for them. One night my friend and I turned up to a Hawkwind gig he had organised. He had promised a couple of follow spot operators who hadn't turned up - so my friend and I ended up standing in. Hadn't ever used a 'super trooper' before but we did ok. Graham btw - saw Motorhead more than a few times too. Not really in the same league in my view. |

As for the Pistols - well I did see them about 6 months before they got famous at the local 'Art School Dance'. They were memorable for their complete inability to play anything coherently ! This era marked the death of classic rock and roll - in the UK at least. Went on to do sound for a few more 'punk' bands including at the famous Hope and Anchor venue in Islington. The most memorable of these bands in my mind was Bauhaus ( a gig at another venue ) . They actually could play *and* put on a great visual act too. They broke one of my mics - so after a quiet word with their manager I acquired one of theirs. Sadly the violence accompanying punk bands led many promoters to cease bothering with local gigs. I saw some sad instances myself. That marked pretty much the end of many live music venues in the UK - the management wouldn't risk their venues any more. Luckily things are now improving again.

I had the distinct pleasure of seeing The Pistols front row at the height of their fame in the states, at which time Lydon hacked a giant loogie and sloshed an enormous quantity of beer on my person. Yay! As for the audience violence and mosh pits etc, I remember the Pistols era as being extremely tame as compared to latter-day bands like Skinny Puppy, Ministry etc--and perhaps the most violent mosh pit I've ever seen was fairly recently at an OhGr gig. Of course, we spend a lot of money (and steroids) on security staffing here.
P.S. I'm extremely jealous. Never got to see Bauhaus, although I saw Murphy, post-Bauhaus, a few times. |

DISGRACE!
All but one person has mentioned Queen. Anything from their greatest hits albums defines the genre 'Rock' itself. I doubt there's anything more I need to say.
