I consider Black Sabbath classic metal, and Zeppelin, Floyd, Beatles, Doors, Hendrix classic rock. Classic rock is the obvious choice for the class of better music. Its not even close, but I love black sabbath, but I hate modern metal. Come on man, classic rock is the best music ever made, and no music will ever come close, and I was born in 1983 and this is still my opinion.
80's heavy metal is the only way to go, forget the rest
Kiss
Ozzy
White Lion
Motley Crue
Poison
Lita Ford
classic rock
Classical metal as in neo-classical metal or metal from the 70's/80's? Cuz that is often considered classic rock anyway.
Anyway, assuming classical metal is neo-classical, I'm gonna have to go with classic rock, even though I don't really consider it a genre.
oooo man, thats tough... but i've gotta go with metal.
Guns & Roses vs. Metallica would be a classic rock versus classic metal match up. I'd have to give an edge to the Metal side, but there is so much good on the Rockside too.
CCR rules!
neither. GunsN Roses can't hold a candle to Paul Waggoner and Between The Buried And Me
and only a few rock bands from back then were good
HAIR METAL SHOULD DDDDDIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEE!!!
METAL RULES
Heavy metal (often referred to simply as metal) is a genre of rock music[1] that developed in the late 1960s and early 1970s.[2] With roots in blues-rock and psychedelic rock, the bands that created heavy metal developed a thick, heavy, guitar-and-drums-centered sound, characterized by highly amplified distortion and fast guitar solos. The All Music Guide states that "of all rock & roll's myriad forms, heavy metal is the most extreme in terms of volume, machismo, and theatricality."[3]
Heavy metal has long had a worldwide following of fans known as "metalheads" or "headbangers". Although early heavy metal bands such as Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, and Deep Purple attracted large audiences, they were often critically reviled at the time, a status common throughout the history of the genre. In the mid-1970s, Judas Priest helped spur the genre's evolution by discarding much of its blues influence. The New Wave of British Heavy Metal followed in a similar vein, introducing a punk rock sensibility and an increasing emphasis on speed.
In the mid-1980s, pop-infused glam metal became a major commercial force with groups like M?tley Crüe. Underground scenes produced an array of more extreme, aggressive styles: thrash metal broke into the mainstream with bands such as Metallica, while other styles like death metal and black metal remain subcultural phenomena. Since the mid-1990s, popular styles such as nu metal, which often incorporates elements of funk and hip hop; and metalcore, which blends extreme metal with hardcore punk, have further expanded the definition of the genre.
CLASSIC ROCK
The core albums, artists, and songs most often represented in classic rock radio represent a subset of the albums and artists that were actually popular during the so-called classic rock era. The most enduring classic rock songs and artists have proven to appeal to new generations of listeners as well as older listeners who knew the music when it originally appeared.
British hard rock and progressive rock bands make up a central pillar of classic rock artists; significant among these are Led Zeppelin, The Who, and Pink Floyd, AC/DC, Yes, Rush, and Queen. Many different songs from these acts are likely to appear on the playlists of classic rock stations.
American-bred '70s rockers, notably Aerosmith, The Doors, and The Eagles, and arena rock bands such as Styx and Journey often appear on classic rock stations. In many areas, Southern rock, notably that of Lynyrd Skynyrd and The Allman Brothers Band forms a significant subset of classic rock playlists as well.
Many other bands may appear occasionally on classic rock stations; however, this presence may be limited to a few familiar songs. For example, while the band Steppenwolf recorded over a dozen studio albums, only two of their songs ("Born to Be Wild" and "Magic Carpet Ride") are likely to be heard within the classic rock format.
Concept albums indirectly led to the album-rock format and remain a major component of classic rock. Notable are the four Pink Floyd concept albums, including The Wall and Dark Side of the Moon, as well as The Who's two major rock operas: Tommy and Quadrophenia. The Who's 1971 album Who's Next is one of the most often-played classic rock albums of all time.
Artists whose musical output spanned the 1960s and 1970s, including The Beatles and The Rolling Stones form something of a special case: a few later songs from these acts (such as "Revolution" by The Beatles and "Start Me Up" by the Stones) are staples of classic rock radio, while the older songs from these groups are seldom heard on the format, gravitating instead to oldies radio, along with nearly any other material recorded prior to around 1967.
Some classic rock playlists also include some of the hard-rock/heavy metal bands of the 1980s such as Guns N' Roses Chaz Van Gogh,and Van Halen as classic rock; again, particular songs or musical eras from these acts may be more conducive to the format than others, and nearly every station fine-tunes its playlist by adding or deleting songs and artists to differentiate itself from competing stations. Similarly, more modern material in the same style is seldom included unless it is by a recognized classic rock artist; such music often gravitates to top 40 or adult album alternative stations.
Classic Rock. That's the stuff and the orginal artistes. They sound what anyone first maded. If it's rock than they rock!
the Beatles being classic rock and led zeppelin being classic metal, classic metal wins
