[U2Kitten]

Who's your favorite classic rock band?

 

[bono-vox]

I picked the beatles but were they a classic rock band lol aw well i still voted for them


Lovin these polls

 

[ACROB@T]

Floyd

Pink Floyd were amazing.
such unique music!

A lot of the beatles stuff is boy-band type poppy material. Even though, its still a lot better than todays boybands cos they play their own instruments!

For 2nd I'd have to say the Doors.

I take it you're referring to early Beatles (1962-1965).

Yeah, so their early lyrics were standard boy-meets-girl, boy-loses-girl fluff. But their melodies, and especially their harmonies, were out of this world. I count 9 different chords in "I Want To Hold Your Hand."

 

[LarryMullen's POPAngel]

I went with my sentimental favorite, the Stones.

They were my first love band-wise till I found U2!

 

[Basstrap]

God only knows how many different chords are in Shine on You Crazy Diamond!

and on that note, thats another thing I love about PF. I love those melodic songs that just go on forever.
ahhhhhhh...

 

[Johnny Swallow]

You forgot Cream and Hendrix.

 

[madonna's child]

beatles

I think you're comparing apples to moon rocks here. "Shine on You Crazy Diamond" is a completely different species from "I Want To Hold Your Hand."

I was just trying to make the point that the Beatles perfected the Silly Love Song genre.

 

[Zooropa]

The Who.

RE: Poll

Sigh, I don't think my vote should count. I don't really have Led Zeppelin as my favorite classic rock band, but out of the choices, I knew more of their songs than any of the others.

 

[Stories for Boys]

i put floyd cause i don't think the beatles are really classic rock...actually, i'm more of a mix and match kinda girl, so this poll isn't a good one for me...

 

[daafish]

Gotta have a little LED in my diet! Although, the Doors are...for lack of a better word, knocking at Zeppelin's door!

 

[Jayhawk]

Rush

 

[Jody]

The Beatles

 

[Mrs. Vedder]

THE WHO!!!!!!!

 

[Bonochick]

Stones!! My second fave band!!!

 

[U2Kitten]

I'm glad so see everyone is getting votes! They're all doing well except Aerosmith. This is fun and they're all so good, I'd like to vote for all of them. Yeah I did forget Crream and Hendrix but Cream really didn't last long enough to have the impact of the others and Hendrix was known more of a solo artist. If you want a write in vote go ahead!

 

[Lemonboy]

Aerosmith!!!


My second love!

which could drive me to "cheating" at U2 sometimes!!

 

[The Blunt Edge]

Pink Floyd

 

[Johnny Swallow]

Cream actually had influence far beyond even they knew, on Hendrix, Sabbath, Led Zep, Deep Purple, and most of the hard-blues bands to follow. They never had an image like The Doors, and aren't trendy to like these days like The Doors/Pink Floyd/etc are, but were just as important. If you just wanted the best blues-rock around, Cream was it. They really were about the music.

What about the undeniably classic Queen...they'd be MY choice, if I could choose them!!!!!!!!
