Yea I'm an old rocker

[PumpPlayer]

Classic "style" rock never went away. It's just not mainstream anymore.

Check out the newer releases by ZZ Topp and Deep Purple as well as some of the newer start-ups like Queens of the Stone Age.


I think one of the big problems most classic rock fans have is that they limit themselves only to music that was made in the 70s and 80s. There's plenty of good stuff out there that just happens to be a little newer. I think you owe it to yourself to at least check it out.

[Steelrat]

Supertramp and Jethro Tull.
