Not a Chance!

GypsyPirate says:

Well, I do really like Classic rock, and as I get older, more of what I like is considered "classic". But, no, there's other forms I like better.

It's very very very close, but I'm a blues man and I have to give the edge to BB King, Johnny Lee Hooker, and company. "Ain't Nothin' like those blues, the blues are my companion, they don't bother me at all."

Alternative 

  • Adam and The Ants Video Showcase That Music's Lost Its Taste So Try Another Flavor
  • The B-52s The world's greatest party band - Ever

  • David Bowie A Man of Sound and Vision
  • Dead Kennedys Video Showcase When I think of punk bands, one of the first I always think of is The Dead Kennedys. They are irreverent, foul, and really talented and witty.
  • Frankie Goes to Hollywood I was never quite sure what kind of music to call FGTH, while I was teen-ager. I've since decided they are Alternative.
  • INXS An Eternally Powerful Rock Band
  • Jane's Addiction Video Showcase Jane's Addiction emerged on the Los Angeles music scene during the 1980s with a style influenced by punk, heavy metal, gothic rock, and psychedelic rock styles

Classic Light Rock 

  • ELO ELO is a little bit light rock, a little bit alternative rock, a little bit pop and even a little classical, but they are all Rock and Roll baby!!
  • The Monkees Hey Hey they're the Monkees! This made-for-tv band was a hit in the late 1960's, but their music continues to be popular.
