Classic Rock: Choice Cuts V

While many classic rock bands tried to emulate the sound and success of the Beatles and the Rolling Stones, none ever reached the fame, influence, and popularity of those two bands- though a few came close. In writing this blog I have come to discover that classic rock’s time has sadly come and gone but there is still enough there for one to spend a lifetime discovering and rediscovering its pleasures.

Bachman-Turner Overdrive

Some were British, some were American, and some were Canadian, but classic rock artists all shared a common musical language that lasted into the ‘80s- but never quite made it into the ‘90s. For me classic rock will always stir up Long Island radio memories from my youth: summer days, backyard barbecues, and driving around in the car with my dad. Here are some more of my favorites. Enjoy!
