OK.. There has been enough banter about this...

CHOOSE!...

Besides the obvious (Pink Floyd), who is the greatest band of the classic rock era?

Re: Greatest classic rock band (besides Floyd)

Well, there are similar threads but none that are limited to "classic rock" I believe...

How could you vote for The Who, you fools! Yes is on the list!

Re: Greatest classic rock band (besides Floyd)

I went with The Who offcourse, but what is CCR doing there? It always seems to em they only have songs about rivers rain and water.

Re: Greatest classic rock band (besides Floyd)

Think about it, Chris Squire, Steve Howe and RICK WAKEMAN! You've got to vote for Yes.

Re: Greatest classic rock band (besides Floyd)

What's wrong with Creedence??.. I love Creedence and they were very influential in the late 60's.....

Yeah, but it is rock. Led Zeppelin is extremely blusey.

They were not as early as the bands mentioned in the poll. Thier first album did not come out until 1974 I believe, and it wasn't until later that Neil Peart joined.
