Classic rock is a style of music that arose in the late 50's/early 60's out of the then-popular blues genre. It was mainly derived from British teenagers who attempted to emulate the blues movement in the U.S. but created a whole new style all their own. Classic rock is known for its warm, overdriven guitar sounds, unique drumming patterns, melodic vocals, and simple yet innovative chord progressions. 90% of classic rock is based off the I-IV-V chord progression, and yet it all sounds different-quite an accomplishment if you ask me. Some of the best music in the world falls in the classic rock genre. In the 70's, classic rock began to progress and sound more modernized, with bands such as Journey, later Pink Floyd, and Boston spearheading the movement. Classic rock is not to be confused with southern rock.

The Best musical genre of all. Other types of Rock & Roll are alright, but this is the best!

only type of music that is the dialogue and the stage direction of an entire generation

Stop saying Guns N' Roses are Classic Rock, you fucking morons. They are hair. And they suck ass.

Real Classic Rock is Led Zeppelin, Jimi Hendrix, Van Halen, Sweet, Uriah Heep, Head East, Eric Clapton, Boston, Styx, Journey, Rush, Rolling Stones, Sammy Hagar, Lynyrd Skynyrd, .38 Special, Alice Cooper, Black Oak Arkansas, Foghat, Bachman-Turner Overdrive, Queen, Rod Stewart, Blue Oyster Cult, Black Crowes, Janis...

Classic Rock is undoubtedly one of the greatest genres of music this planet has ever seen. Classic Rock includes:
Cream, AC/DC, Led Zeppelin, The Beatles, Jimi Hendrix, KISS, New York Dolls, Aerosmith, Queen, Sammy Hagar, Montrose and Ted Nugent. It does not- I repeat- does NOT include Mötley Crüe, Guns N' Roses or Metallica as some of these ass holes seem to think.
