The Clash and The Misfits are classic rock?
― Mr. Snrub, Sunday, 30 October 2011 19:05 (twelve years ago) link
it's called classic rock because it's rock that's classic, duh.
especially when it's also hip-hop.
― sunn :o))) (Merdeyeux), Sunday, 30 October 2011 19:35 (twelve years ago) link
The Clash is definitely, definitely classic rock, but we called it "new wave" back then.

In the beginning God gave us musicians and vocalists - then came vocorders, harmonizers and mellotrons, which begat click tracks, drum machines, and sampling, which begat auto-tune and quantizing. Today, a degree in programming and Internet marketing trumps the God-given talent that is music. I hunger for the days of VOX amps with frayed cabinets and sweat stained Stratocasters. You were part of the dream back then Michael, and I am so grateful that your return is clothed in the cape of rock glory. That's all the bling you need. Rock on brother. Carnaby Street is an amazing work
