Does Maiden count? I dunno if you would classify that as metal or rock. But if so, def. Maiden. If Not, AC/DC, since Sabbath is metal:(:P

How can you say that classic rock sucks, your lame. i hate people that like bands that just shredd and crap, that stuff sounds like junk, true guitar players (david gilmour, clapton...etc) can make a guitar flow with lyrics, drums and bass, not just go off on a mad rampage off dung.

Free is awesome- they exhibit musical qualities akin to modern bands, and their lyrical content evokes similar sentiments to those trying to be evoked today by a multitude of crap bands, except they were never censored back then due to sociocultural reasons that don't apply today- how ironic.

My favorite lately is the Beatles, but Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd are up there for me as well. Rush and the Velvet Underground get mentioned. That's pretty much all the classic rock I listen to right there.

Iron Maiden is a great band because Bruce translates into quality music stories, mythology, and historical accounts into the great medium that is music, like no one else has ever dared to do.

Bruce is an incredibly intelligent man who has managed to transcend sociological standards to bring us an incredible take on life/art/humanity that most are too narrow-minded to comprehend.

GNR's first LP came out in 1987. That is well past what is generally considered the 'classic' era.

Yes, he is easily my favourite Maiden singer. Hallowed Be Thy Name is such a good song:D

Bruce was born for this, and Paul and Blaze were mere pawns to fill in during Bruce's personal intermissions in order to keep the band going. There is a reason for everything, and there is a reason why Bruce joined this band, and a reason why he came back.

(currently listening to Rainbow's Gold, B-side to the 2 Minutes To Midnight single)
