WhiteRoseKillie Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 You can't really go wrong with "classic" rock 'n' roll music, it's a fairly simple construct. My gripe is more with the over-familiarity engendered when those not really "into" the genre match up each name they hear with one song, and that's all they ever play on the fecking radio*. Examples (with alternatives*): 1. George Thorogood - Bad to the Bone (One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer; back to Wentzville; Gearjammer) 2. Bruce Springsteen - Born in the USA (Rosalita, Thunder Road, Jungleland) 3. Led Zeppelin - Stairway to Heaven (Immigrant Song, Kashmir, In the Evening) 4. Deep Purple - Smoke on the Water (Burn, Stormbringer, Fireball, Highway Star) 5 Black Sabbath - Paranoid (Snowblind, Iron Man, Sabbath Bloody Sabbath) *Yes, Absolute Classic Rock, I'm looking at you. Looking at you very disapprovingly. ** Just off the top of my head - all the above have a massive back catalogue to keep anyone satisfied, rather than some corporate fúck deciding what we really want is a triple header of Layla, Run to the Hills and Silver Machine. Again. *** *** None of which are bad songs, just lazy on the progammers' behalf. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because Springsteen dislikes this, does that make it good? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the one that sprung to mind as soon as I read the title. For me, a song that goes absolutely nowhere - never understood its popularity. Tell ye what's better than Purple Rain? November Rain. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
