Classic Rock

Classic rock was originally conceived as a radio station programming format which evolved from the album oriented rock (AOR) format in the early-1980s. In the United States, this rock music format now features a large playlist of songs ranging from the 1960s, 1970s, 1980s and early 1990s, with some stations including a limited number of current releases.

what a bullshit tag. [2] I hate the idea that rebellious, subversive, psychedelic artists like Syd Barrett, Jimi Hendrix, Brian Jones, Jim Morrison, etc can now be called "classic" - part of the establishment, two letters away from being "classical". Fuck this label

My personal opinion is that the "Best Band of all Times" are both Led Zeppelin and The Who, once you listen to their music your life will never be the same again... that's what makes the difference between a band with a good sound and a band that changes the world.

You surely named some of the best, but there are even more great bands who should be put to the list as "Best Bands Ever" by example you didn't put Chuck Berry or Buddy Holly And The Crickets which defined modern music, or so many other bands who are great even they're not as popular as the ones you named before like ELP, Supertramp, Black Sabbath, Deep Purple, etc. But you've pretty much summarized the most influent, popular and important bands of the 20th Century for sure.

The Beatles The Rolling Stones Led Zeppelin Queen Pink Floyd The Doors The Who Jimi Hendrix (Experience) These are the best bands ever, surely! Sorry, but I don't think Queen is classic rock... anyway, all them are great, and I'm sorry there are no bands like this today :'(

Classic rock isn't a genre, its a radio format.
