Who's Your Favorite Classic Rock Band Of All Time?

[Billo_Really]

Well I guess I'm showing my age, but the band that took me from the early rock like Elvis, Buddy Holly, etc. into the more modern rock, came over in the Beatle invasion, who I also like, and that was the Yardbirds. They went through several phases first with the Blues and Eric Clapton, then the screaming guitar of Jeff Beck and finally the pre Led Zep of Jimmie Page. Saw them live during the Five Live Yardbirds era with both Jeff Beck and Jimmy Page playing together. I followed all three guitarists after each left the group.

What do you mean, "pre Led Zep"?

Zeppellin played their first concert together as a band, as the Yardbirds.

It was some contractual thing they had to get out of the way, before they could change the name and go on as Zep.

And speaking of Zep, this is my fave...

I saw Sabbath twice and this was one of the songs I remember most from those concerts...

Anyone like Nazareth? They are kind of underrated if you ask me. Hair of the dog is not the only song they did

True story. Led Zeppellin is actually Yardbirds 5.

Here's the Yardbirds doing Dazed and Confused...

Beatles. Strawberry fields forever! Other, as in who cares. No place to post my choice. "Other" . That category seems to hide and not enlighten, perhaps by choice. OTHER.

I like the grit of this tune. I play it loud (like most rock):

Menopause is acting up again I see.

Oh ... and Strawberry Fields is a mediocre song at best. Hardly enough to make someone want to get up and dance.

I played their music excessively in the 70s. I have one of their CDs around here someplace. My favorite, of course, was "Hair of the Dog":
