Modern or Classic Rock?

Classic metal > classic rock > modern rock.

I'll go with modern. CIassic rock is the single most overrated form of music in existence, the only cIassic rock band that I think actually deserves the amount of praise they get is Pink Floyd. Darth-Caedus

As for me, I prefer ciass1c rock>90's rock>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>today's rock.

Classic rock had other not so famous bands that put out great music, like The Misunderstood PS: How come no mention of The Doors yet?Neon-Tiger

Can't stand classic rock and I'm not sure what "modern rock" entails.

Gonna have to go with neither.

Add Nicklecrap to the list and you got a reason why Deep Purple spits in their faces.

you know what you never hear any more in Rock? Riffs, or solo's, or anything besides power chords. I hate hearing all this "its all been done before". Well they were able to do 'it' for 40 years and all of a sudden music videos come out and creativity just goes out the window. Music videos have really destroyed music as a whole. I've seen more talent in buskers in one city than I have in mainstream music.

Exactly why I wouldn't vote for modern...all of those bands are terrible (excluding Foo Fighters, I can stand some songs off the Colour and the Shape). Nevertheless, all the bands I listen to came out within the past 20 years.

It seems like a lot of people are thinking of Modern Rock and Classic Rock as Hard Rock and Alternative. When Rock also includes Metal, Psychedelic Rock, Blues Rock, Progressive, etc. like I had said in my last post.cyberdarkkid

Fixed that there list for ya.

Only a few modern bands have the heart and soul of music that the classic bands had. All around, classic is much better on average. Edit: not to say that modern rock is bad (heck, if symphonic metal counts as "modern rock" then two of my favorite bands were formed in the last 10 or so years, if thats modern enough...)

I don't know that I'd use those as examples. :P

The single most overrated band in existence... early work was mind numbingly boring, insubstantial pop...later stuff was just ok, nothing exceptional. Darth-Caedus

I fixed your list for a reason. You made it ugly again :(

Modern I suppose. I don't like too many rock bands called "classic" rock

Although metal is technically a subgenre of rock, my experience has been people tend to refer to it specifically (and do not include it when they talk about rock). I'm guessing TC didn't intend for it to be included.

Though that's just my opinion.

Classic rock.

Camel, Pink Floyd, Genesis, King Crimson vs. Antimatter, Riverside, Porcupine Tree, Anathema

Can't choose:x.

[QUOTE="D_Battery"]AC/DC has the record for the world's longest song. It spans 18 albums. :PDarth-Caedus

I hope you're not implying anything bad about AC/DC. ;)--Thomas--

Just like metal hmm?

And for the record, Bon Scott >>> Brian johnson

Classic rock (I assume this includes 70's hard rock). Haven't heard any modern rock that rivals Springsteen, The Eagles, AC/DC, Aerosmith, The Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, etc.chessmaster1989

"etc." :o

:P

TBH, it's pretty close for me, but I voted Modern because I figured it would be losing. And uh Post-Hardcore>Classic Rock.

I only dinstinctly remember one of their songs where the singer screams. Its a famous song but cant remember the title.

Besides they are more blues than rock. Not that those two are completely different but you get what I mean.

[QUOTE="LJS9502_basic"]

[QUOTE="Teenaged"]Eh, cant stand The Doors personally.

I find them boring...

Neon-Tiger

Modern rock is awesome with guys like Bumblefoot and bands like Thornley and Muse...but classic rock will always hold a special place in my heart for all the classic songs and all the memories and lore behind those songs.

I hate Pink Floyd, ACDC, Van Halen and Aerosmith, but I loved Led Zeppelin. I can't really choose.

[QUOTE="Neon-Tiger"][QUOTE="LJS9502_basic"] I listened to them for about a minute and realized I heard all their sound.:P

Classic easily. Most modern rock is straight commercial garbage except for maybe some 90's grunge/alternative, oh and Kings of Leon is good. Yeah there was commercial garbage back in the 60s, 70s, and 80s like some glam metal like poison, and a lot of mainstream techno pop but the real hard rock will always be better than whats on the modern rock radios today. Guns N' Roses, Metallica, and Led Zeppelin **** on all modern rock period.

[QUOTE="Oblivionfan10"]

[QUOTE="Darth-Caedus"] AC/DC? Really? They are the Nickelback of their time... Darth-Caedus

ACDC definitely is not that good of a band, but come on. An old lady falling down the stairs sounds better than Nickelback.

As for the poll, depends. To be honest, I find the divide between the two to be stupid.

Yes, because it makes sense to compare mainstream rock to mediocre bands like Guns N Roses, and Metallica. Oh and Kings of Leon is good :lol: ?
