Older rock music, which is technically from the mid-50s to the late 70s, or possibly the early 80s, although some argue that it is any rock more than 10 years old. Also the type of rock music that actually involves musical talent and good singing, as opposed to current rock
The Beatles, the Beach Boys, Elvis, Ray Charles, Righteous Bros, and other classic rock bands/artist... that's what good music is all about!

Greatest genre of music every, when used in a broader sennse to include some hair bands and 80's metal. This means you can count Led Zeppelin, AC/DC, Gn'R, Pink Floyd and such, but also bands like Motley Crue, Metallica, Iron Maiden, and Judas Priest.
oh wait, everyone's forgotten THE WHO. Which is odd, since they're as great as all the other bands listed here. Put on Who's Next or Tommy and you'll be reminded.

"Real gangsta in da house", u r probably THE biggest faggot i have ever seen. after reading ur definition for classic rock, i was thinking, "wtf is this bullshit?!?!" First of all, Led Zepppelin didn't invent metal and P. Shitty is not better than led zeppelin. You said it yourself,"I haven't heard them", fucking posuer... Second of all, elvis didn't create rock; rock was created by the black man(I forget his name), dumbass... Third of all, rap is not superior to rock, rap is bullshit, and i'm not a racist for disagreeing, i mean, after all, i hate all white rappers out there too Fourth of all, Swearing doesn't help music to be actual music, and since your dad likes pink floyd im guessing he's white, which means ur an oreo Fifth of all, u must be confused because OLD music is good and the NEW stuff sucks Sixth of all, computer generated music is the opposite of music because it takes COMPUTER talent to make(it might not even take talent ), not MUSICAL talent Seventh of all, most rock and metal is not about satan and drugs Plus, i read your other definitions and they all prove that ur an even bigger fag than your "classic rock" definition makes you. Nu Metal sucks balls, so old metallica is by far better than new metallica(See New Metallica). MTV sucks balls too(see MTV Rocks for what "Real gangsta in da house" said), and that jimi hendrix that u have'nt seen on MTV was the greatest guitarist ever and he was black. And it's true that MTV is killing music, if not, it already has. Not rap is not for these "filthy gawth"s u speak of. U say u dont know wat a posuer (<- that is how its really spelled) is but u use it to make fun of people u don't like, which makes YOU a bigtime posuer Now for the definition: Classic rock is basically any rock(excluding Metal)from the 80's and earlier. Classic Metal is metal from the 80's and earlier
Classic Rock Bands: Led Zeppelin AC/DC Deep Purple The Rolling Stones Pink Floyd Queen Lynyrd Skynyrd The Beatles Aerosmith The Doors Jimi Hendrix Van Halen Guns N' Roses(yes they are) The Who Rush Foreigner The Eagles Black Sabbath(more like Classic Metal, though) Def Leppard(Same Here) A shit load more

The music associated with the rock revolution from the 50's to the 70's
It's sickening when kids frown upon another for having month old rap "music" as it is "old", when classic rock, an extremely popular and kickass music genre, is as old as their parents.
