Rock + Classic, Folk, Country, Metal, Alternative, Pop

[Dean Judaster]

Guys and gals who love banging their head to metal-rock or vibing to sentimental country-rock, here's the thread for that! From AC/DC to Zeppelin, whether you like the power ballads of the 80s or grunge rock of the 90s. Welcome!

[lavenderblondee PronounsShe/her]

Power ballads of the 80s are the best 

 

I was born in the 90s but raised mostly on 60s-80s music. I didn't start experimenting with newer music until I was in my early teens

Also 90s dude here. Radio and my parents introduced me to 80s rock. About 8 years ago, my appreciation for it increased because my favorite show Supernatural used amazing classic rock tracks. I always go back to rock when I'm tired of pop

Is there even lots of competition?

i mean, there's definitely a lot of new metal this year. But imo, there's no competition

I haven't had enough time for metal this year but for alternate, Pearl Jam has my vote. I can NOT get enough of this amazing song holy sh!t. They got the title right, I feel like the bridge and final chorus is a ritualistic chant

Ronnie James Dio is a god! That is all!

I've been loving Greta Van Fleet lately. They remind me so much of Led Zeppelin.

I'll give them a listen soon. What do you guys think about the new Tame Impala?

Hotel California Hell Freezes over is the only live version I prefer over any rock srudio version.  That opening riff whew. And when people realize what song is playing--chills everytime.

I would also like to recommend Radio Company

I've never heard their old sound. Was the change drastic? Cuz Borderline sounds really groovy.

They experimented with psychedlic rock before. That's when I started paying attention

I didn't expect to like it as much as I did. It sounds both like an old grunge track that also feels fresh somehow. Their three different videos for it also seem appropriate and I can't choose which one I like best.

One of my top music videos of all time

Pretty good list. I have a spotify playlist if anybody wants it

Does this count?
