Blue Oyster Cult - No
AC/DC - Good
Pink Floyd - No.
Bruce Springsteen - No.
Lynyrd Skynyrd -- Oh HELL NO!
Guns N' Roses -- Sucks. Blows. Bites. Dry Heaves. Nauseating.
Billy Joel -- Good
J. Geils Band -- Good
Queen -- Good (even if most of their stuff doesn't appeal to me)
Aerosmith -- Meh...
Rolling Stones -- Nope. No. Nein. Nyet.

My Additions:
1. Led Zep : I can't stand them, but others adore them.
2. Boston: Good Band, too few recordings
3. Journey: Depends on how you define "Classic Rock"
4. Alice Cooper: All of Shock Rock/Metal owes him, big time. Marlyin Manson would be at McDonalds without him.

Seeing that I hate classic rock with a fiery passion, I don't have much to add here. The only band I remotely like on Amadenijad's list is Billy Joel, becuase I grew up on him.

3. Journey: Depends on how you define "Classic Rock" - ditto...
4. Alice Cooper: All of Shock Rock/Metal owes him, big time. Marlyin Manson would be at McDonalds without him. - but yes, have to agree here.

Stiff shit, i've got no plans to do so.


I'll just make my own list.....

Rolling Stones - why the fuck do they keep getting mentioned? They have one good song.
Black Sabbath - Fuck yeah.
Judas Priest - Meh.
Cream - Fuck yeah.
Jethro Tull (no one can do rock n' roll flute like Ian Anderson) - meh


TBS; might it just be Taking Back Sunday?

Oh. Forgive me, sir. I don't like them either though.

Incidentally, what the hell is wring with Dashboard?

Unoriginal, whiney, boring, and simplistic music. Which I guess is fine if you like that, but I don't.
