AND THE AWARD FOR MOST DETAILED, PERFECT ANSWER GOES TO @Kardamom!!!

Apparently it wasn’t so perfect, I left off Creedence!

I’m so ashamed

@kardamom I am sorry. I get a little excited about them. I am calming down, again, apologies.

@Imadethisupwithnoforethought But you are absolutely correct at their awesomeness, I just can’t believe I didn’t list them. I have every one of their albums too! Had the pleasure of seeing John Fogarty at the Roy Oribison Tribute in Los Angeles, right after Roy passed away. I was too young to see CCR when they were still together and Tom was still alive.

Well, of course, The Beatles.

I also love the Byrds, The Monkees, Cream, super early Pink Floyd, The Kinks, The Mamas and The Papas, The Velvet Underground, The Stones, Jimi Hendrix, The Isley Brothers, The Doors, The Impressions, The Miracles, James Brown… I mean, there’s too many!

Queen

Boston & Supertramp come to mind.

Sweet
ZZ Top

… and everyone else has pretty much already said what I like, except rush, rush is like what nails scratching a chalkboard to most people is to my ears.

Let’s not forget the Mothers of Invention

Oh, How can I forget Meatloaf, and Don McLean.

Greatest Forgotten Classic Pop Rock Song in History

My 11 year-old son has asked that add Boston, The Who, Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin, some Hendrix and lots of Eric Clapton (Layla and Bell Bottom Blues for sure)..

The 9 year-old added AC/DC and ELO.

The 13 year-old is in the shower, but he would recommend Linkin Park, Beastie Boys and Green Day anyway.

Granted, I was a little girl in those days, and I wasn’t supposed to be listening to secular music, but who was going to stop the bus driver from blasting his radio twice a day? Or stop me from turning on the radio when certain parties weren’t home? Long Live Rock! ;D
