Battle of the Bands Rock Edition Season 2! Discussion Thread

[Rodrick Peterson]

If anything Free were the more classic blues rock style of the two! And likening Bad Company to AC/DC

The question was, if you had to choose another two classic rock banRAB from the same era who would they be?

[Bailey0825]

Yeah..I didnt like the AC/DC pick after all either.
Damn Soldier, I would have to reflect on the subject for awhile first, and I'm not really in the mood :
Let me think about it awhile.., who would you name Soldier?

[cutecupcakedoll]

Discuss your nominations/supports and who you think will win.

[mr.YOU CAN KISS MY A$$]

These are the groups that I go mad for in the late 60`s to early 80`s period and in no set order:
The Doors, Jimi Hendrix Experience, Supertramp, Yes, Wishbone Ash, Black Sabbath, Fleetwood Mac, Cheap Trick, Aerosmith, Free, Blue Oyster Cult, The James Gang, Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, Neil Young & Crazy Horse, Talking HeaRAB, Kansas, Styx, Toto, Journey, The Tubes, Alice Cooper, The Who, The Cars, Little Feat, The Band, Love, King Crimson, Jefferson Airplane, Boston, David Bowie, Peter Gabriel, Kate Bush, Mountain, Hurable Pie, Grateful Dead, Rush, Sparks, Devo, Squeeze, Stranglers, Survivor and Scorpions to name just a few

As for picking a best 2 out of this diverse bunch..........Well almost mission impossible. But I`m sure you could pick two?

Ha, ha..thats not funny Soldier^ :laughing: I like alot of the same banRAB listed.
And I could categorize your list better if I wanted to..:

Initial problem I had here, was literally choosing just 10 banRAB from a very big GENRE FIELD. I tried to pick a variety of stuff from metal, prog and classic rock and I could easily come on here tomorrow and just name another 10 groups, that I think are as good as these banRAB.

Maybe the whole thing should be broken down into smaller categories like (Hard Rock, Classic Rock, Heavy Metal, Punk, Indie, Alternative, folk etc) with the winners of each category going forward. Admittedly, we could have differences of opinions about which banRAB belong in each category, but sorting that out could be part of the fun, and with someone on here to have a final say on where the said group could be categorized.

Don't worry about editing posts. I found that compiling while it was going down was less than optimal.

[Steven Murphy]

When it comes to categorizing, I could drink you under the table anytime.:

[Monica B]

I forgot to nominate System Of A Down, whoops. I imagine editing my post would make things a wee bit sticky.

The reason I'm doing a general one this time is because it's the only way to get a decent nuraber of nominations/activity.
