    thank YOU. everyone around me thinks I'm an idiot for saying I can't stand this band. "but you are such a huge music fan, how could you not like ACDC?". Yes, I AM a huge music fan, exactly. ACDC is not music to me!

    I'm struggling to think of one... I think they're all classic for good reason.

    Of everything that's been listed on this thread so far, the only one I agree with is The Sex Pistols and I'm not sure if they qualify as a classic band. Can't tell you the last time I heard them on the radio. Not sure that I ever have. They were more about attitude (being an asshole) and style than about music. I liked it when Johnny Rotten became John Lydon again and formed Public Image Ltd... that was really good music! So there is this thing called redemption.

    But I'm listening to Never Mind the Bollocks right now... I picked up a used copy fairly cheap some time ago. Hmmm... it's actually not terrible. :mrgreen:

    I agree - the Who is really amazing. But....you sir, your story is epic.

    Supertramp. Most other critically acclaimed 'Classic' bands I at least enjoy to varying extents, but I hate Supertramp.
    Believe me, when I was growin up, I thought the worst thing you could turn out to be was normal, So I say freaks in the most complementary way. Here's a song by a fellow freak - E.V

    I honestly can't think of one classic band that I don't dig at least a few songs from.

    If they'd come through here on that first tour, I'd have probably gone. But the longer they were around, the less impressed I was with their music. Also, I knew many people who saw them live and they always complained about sloppy shows where the band just phoned it in.

    As far as the ticket prices, I was a teenager in the late 60s-early 70s. Concert tickets were cheap, just a little more than going to a movie. There was no need to save up a concert budget. I saw Jimi Hendrix for $5.

    Srsly, you guys need to listen to some Moon-era boots at the very least. Or watch Maximum R&B.

    RUSH!
    AC/DC
    and, although it probably isn't considered 'classic', can't stand any and all things related to SKA!!

    To Each his own but this might be one of the most musically confused threads I've ever seen.
    However, allow me to add my 2 cents.

    Unfortunately not.
    We are both big fans but Bob never toured anywhere close to where we lived. :(

    I cant really think of any. Sure theres some I dont really care for but I wouldn't say i dont like them. I respect all of the classic rock bands.

    I DO think Led Zep is overrated though. I like them but I think Hendrix, The Who, Rolling Stones, are all better.
