audioslave Posted May 21, 2005 Report Posted May 21, 2005 Definitely Kings of Leon and The White Stripes - but also The Mars Volta, Mercury Rev, Heartless Bastards, Queens of the Stone Age, AUDIOSLAVE, and Velvet Revolver. Also Jet, FOO FIGHTERS, and Aerosmith -(oh wait they are a classic rock band! STILL ROCKIN'). :guitar:
Earth-Angel Posted May 22, 2005 Report Posted May 22, 2005 The Thrills Jet Kings of Leon The Shins Oasis The Caesars Velvet Revolver Foo Fighters Scissor Sisters Queens of the Stone Age Interpol :guitar:
invisible_r Posted May 22, 2005 Report Posted May 22, 2005 interpol are alot like joy division, but do joy division qualify as classic rock?
Earth-Angel Posted May 22, 2005 Report Posted May 22, 2005 No, but the Scissor Sisters are about as close to classic rock as Interpol are
Malakin Posted May 22, 2005 Report Posted May 22, 2005 Every time I hear Take Me Out by Franz Ferdinand I think to myself "Ahh, so this is what Dexy's Midnight Runners would sound like if they were still around..."
Earth-Angel Posted May 22, 2005 Report Posted May 22, 2005 (edited) The Hives and The Vines also have a bit of a classic rock feel, as do The Honorary Title. PTP, who posted in Get the Word Out, sound very much like Pink Floyd. The Magic Numbers The Golden Republic Black Rebel Motorcycle Club Edited August 31, 2005 by Guest
DiggsUK Posted May 22, 2005 Report Posted May 22, 2005 "but do joy division qualify as classic rock?" Not in the Smashy & Nicey sense perhaps, but in terms of innovation and sheer doom-laden majesty, then yes. Regards
audioslave Posted May 23, 2005 Report Posted May 23, 2005 Sunny Day Real Estate - very classic, and am I the only one who thinks My Morning Jacket sounds alot like After the Gold Rush era Neil Young?
johnnyguitar Posted May 25, 2005 Report Posted May 25, 2005 Not the only one...but I personally can't hear it...they're called 'My Morning Racket' in this house ::
DJ_AJ77 Posted June 11, 2005 Report Posted June 11, 2005 Classic Rock today, it's not possible, unless you are talking about the original stars from yesteryear performing. Now, before I get lynched, I will tell you WHY I say this: First, let's define classic rock: In this long-time DJ's opinion classic rock comes from all the way back to the day when one group started repeating 3 chords over and over again and called it music. The second half of this definition would be: Music that stands the test of time. Simply put, most "new" bands come and go, a flash in the pan so to speak, but true classic rock has been around for the better part of 50 years now, and guess what, people STILL listen to it. So to properly answer this thread: Who reminds you of classic rock today....no one, they imitate, they "borrow" riffs from other songs, and some of their on-stage perfomances lack that special audience interaction that is crucial to any bands survival throughout the years, and finally airtime. This is by far the most important thing to any group. If radio stations don't give them airtime, or only play "the hits" you're left with a very limited selection of tunes, all of which you get burned out on. Who reminds me of classic rock today, simple; the bands that did it right the first time...
miamisammy29 Posted June 13, 2005 Report Posted June 13, 2005 Ahhhh...a very outspoken Newbie, but a Newbie nonetheless. Just hand over the lunch money, and we'll get along just fine.
BRT Posted June 18, 2005 Report Posted June 18, 2005 (Modern artist/who they remind me of) Queens of the Stone Age/Black Sabbath White Stripes/Led Zeppelin (well certainly Jack's vocals on Get Behind me Satan) Scissor Sisters/Elton John Muse/ELO The Darkness/Kiss (minus the make-up)
crazy diamond Posted August 29, 2005 Report Posted August 29, 2005 Definitely the Black Crowes...and I'm not a big Jet fan, but one of their songs reminds me of AC/DC. And does anyone know the Black Keys? They're a really good newish band (I think they do the whole power duo thing better than the White Stripes).
Jugband_Blues Posted August 30, 2005 Report Posted August 30, 2005 The Shins totally rock. I saw them perform at Brown University and they were something else. "Young Pilgrims" and "So Says I" are probably their best works, they both sound like they could be straight out of the late 60's/early 70's. You can listen to "So Says I" and hear/see some of their other stuff here on theshins.com in the downloads section.

I have Oh, Inverted World and Chutes Too Narrow. They are both great.
EagleEye0 Posted September 9, 2005 Report Posted September 9, 2005 Which modern band (recently formed and currently in their heyday) sounds the most like good ol' time REAL rock 'n' roll to you? I would say either Kings Of Leon or The White Stripes. No rock and roll outfit from the past theee years has equalled the caliber of muscianship demonstrated in th 60s, 70s, 80s, or 90s. This is precisely the reason that bands cover classic rock material and and try to make it their own. I never see the Goo Goo Dolls thanking Rodge Hodson of Supertramp for essentially giving the Goo Goo Dolls a chart topping hit. That's Supertramp's song. FYI, anybody who is into Supertramp get Even in the Quietest Moments. Its awesome, Downstream, Fools Overture, and Babaji are the standout Tracks.
scott Posted September 9, 2005 Report Posted September 9, 2005 Dude.... supertramp blows. But that is your opinion and I respect that, so no need to fight. I'd have to disagree with the 'no one even comes close' thing, 'cuz there is some stuff out there that is amazing, I am currently in love with the Killers and 'Mr. Brightside' is one of my fave songs right now, it's so majestic and flowing.
EagleEye0 Posted September 9, 2005 Report Posted September 9, 2005 The Killers are decent, at best. The band that has the most potential right now is Acceptance. Phantoms. Listen to this album and I promise you'll belive that Acceptance is more talented than The "illers," (that's such a stupid pun).
scott Posted September 9, 2005 Report Posted September 9, 2005 I can't really explain why it is that I like the Killers, I suppose it's the majestic sound, it's not really something that I'd usually be into (I like feedback, lots and lots of feedback) so I'm by no means trying to force the Killers on anyone, it's just my own personal fave at the moment.
EagleEye0 Posted September 9, 2005 Report Posted September 9, 2005 I suppose it's the majestic sound, Are you an escapist?
scott Posted September 9, 2005 Report Posted September 9, 2005 Some people insist that I am. I see myself as more.... alternative? I don't know if that's the best way to describe it.
EagleEye0 Posted September 9, 2005 Report Posted September 9, 2005 I suppose it's the majestic sound Well, if you are, here's some amazing music (as You're probably familiar with the songs suggested below, but this is what I reccommemnd. Speed of Sound-Colplay let it Be-The Beatles Regatta de Blance-The Police Touch of Grey-The Grateful Dead Comfortably Numb-Pink Floyd Life's a Gas-T. Rex Solsbury Hill-Peter Gabriel I Know What I Like, ILike What I Know (In Your Wardrobe)-Genesis that's a fraction of the good stuff. There's a lot more and, trust me, its all good.
scott Posted September 9, 2005 Report Posted September 9, 2005 Oh silly Eagle Eye, I could probably school your ass in naming songs. I mean if you're going to go with a coldplay selection I woulda gone "Don't Panic", maybe even "Yellow". I could expland your musical horizons tho, I bet.
EagleEye0 Posted September 9, 2005 Report Posted September 9, 2005 (edited) I don't know, I have over 350 albums. I'm insane when it comes to classic rock/modern rock history. We should have a challenge, Scott. Its disgusting how much iformation I know, honest. Edited September 9, 2005 by Guest
