What's with classic rock fans on YA?

Do they think nobody has ever heard classic rock before, or that it is the best music in history. I have, as well as lots of other types of music. Like Tommy Dorsey, The Rat Pack, Ella Fitzgerald, Hank Williams, Real Classical, Opera, and lots of traditional cultural music. There is so much better music than the Arena Rock of yesteryear. Why is it always brought up?

Don't get me wrong, I love Queen, Kansas, Boston, The Beatles (more than you know, I have the white album on vinyl), and a ton more. But why does everyone think it's the best, or that the youth today needs to listen to it? Did they listen to the Carter Family, Dorsey, or anyone of the such when they were growing up? What makes classic rock more classic and musically talented?

I love it, but I'm still not so sure why it's achieved this status over, say, Afro-Cuban Jazz or Traditional Irish for example.

Like a few others said this is Pop /Rock, and thats cool your so well schooled in music. I think there are other places on here you can go to talk about that kind of music....which is fine music btw. Just dont take offense when somebody doesnt feel the same as you, we're all individuals with different taste. If we was all alike wouldnt this world be a boring place ?? Rock on my friend

Maybe you missed the name of this board: " Rock and Pop".

That would include classic rock, m'man. You wanna talk Tommy Dorsey, The Rat Pack, Ella Fitzgerald, Hank Williams, Real Classical, Opera, and lots of traditional cultural music?

Great!

Find it all on the appropriate boards.

Do you have the same complaints about the endless sea of MCR/fall out boy %26amp; p!atd fans on here as well? (all asking the same freakin questions daily)

Y'see- it's all about perspective. It's more than obvious *you've* heard much classic rock. But what of the musically curious 14 year old who hasn't got a clue who Led Zeppelin are, for ex.?
I love other music also but this is Rock and Pop

apparently you missed progressive rock .....VERY underrated genre of music with VERY talented players

lets see...

I like these also

classical-mahler, beethoven, bhrams, mahler, tchaviosky, mussorsky, stravinsky, ravel, debussy

Jazz-Miles davis, louis armstrong, dizzy gilespie, coltrane, parker, duke ellington
I'm 17 and I'm a classic Rock fan. Classic rock is my favourite rock genre because in my opinion it is much better than the stuf they are coming up with today.

Don't get me wrong, there still is good music today, but you have to dig very deep to find it, because the really talented artists are not in the mainstream.
they let dorks like you on here , so why can't us classic rockers be on here also
I try to expand my taste to a little of everything. I say that there's usually at least one good song in every genre. I am a huge fan of rock and I usually get beaten up on Yahoo! and sometimes at school for loving MCR. I think people generalize genres and bands with a certain type of person and it's stupid. I try to keep at open mind to new music, etc. and all that stuff. I think people love "classic" rock because those guys started it all.
