Have you noticed how the "Rock-N-Roll" music today seems to just not be anything but noise?
I hope you'll find in this space some music from the '50's '60's '70's and '80's that you'll like...remember...become re-aquainted with...And then there are the top bands/artists... I put them on top and they are there for a reason, EXPOSURE!
The classic bands you're looking for ARE in my friends list and it's growing every day... but check the artists up and coming too!!! I don't put them up there 'cause they asked, they don't know when they'll be on the top 24...I just want you to check them out!

I didn't add any fancy pictures on my page...(although I may), I'll change my song from time to time, find some band/artist you haven't seen in years or really...find a new band/artist you never heard of and fall in love with them!
You'll find almost all Classic ROCK, METAL & BLUES MUSIC, along with new bands/artists who fit the mold!!! By no means I do NOT want Bananarama. NOT Culture Club. NO, The Macarena dancing FOOLS are not allowed. NOT Debbie Gibson. NOT Shawn Cassidy. Sorry, find another space.
Don't come in my space looking for "pop" or "bubblegum" crap.
It essentially requires real guitars and amps to have Rock and Roll.
CLASSIC ROCK, METAL or BLUES MUSIC or anything representing it from the blues and even country! Those artists/bands are also represented here.
Think of Johnny Cash and Merle Haggard when you think of Rock and Roll.
Think of Loretta Lynn. Willie Nelson.
Vince Gill. Garth Brooks.
Hank Williams Jr. Waylon Jennings. BB King. George Jones.
Think Royal Wade Kimes or Hank Williams.
Think of the influences these artists had on the bands we love.
Think of the SOUNDS you love!
"I've always felt that blues, rock 'n' roll and country are just about a beat apart."-Waylon Jennings (1937-2002)
Like it or not, Classic Rock is Country with the amp on 11.
Bands you may have forgotten...or couldn't remember Oh....those foggy years....Did you read ALL THE LINER NOTES in the ALBUMS??? DO YOU STILL HAVE AND HAVE THE ABILITY TO PLAY ALBUMS???Do you remember general seating? Running right up to the front of the stage as soon as the doors opened? Then you're in the right place........From Bon Jovi to ZZ Top. Creedence to Yes. Aerosmith to Tom Petty. Alice Cooper to Joan Jett. Def Leppard to Motley Crue. Jefferson Airplane to Lita Ford. Fleetwood Mac to Kiss. Black Sabbath to Eric Clapton. The Outlaws to 38 Special. If they're on Myspace, I'm looking for them... Get lost looking through my "friends"! If they are not listed, I'm waiting on a response...
Artists and Bands and Musicians who influenced you, shaped your perverbial "life" and you can still stand to listen to.
Words and music you can always understand.

I'd like to meet:


'60's '70's and '80's CLASSIC ROCK/METAL bands!
If you have a band or you're an artist, if it's got that "Classic Rock" sound, and you have some songs on your myspace, I'll add you (even if you don't have songs)! Remember BLUES, ROCK or METAL in the spirit of the 60's, '70's or '80's!
If you find a Classic Rock/Metal Band or Musician you think makes the grade, send them to me so I can add them!
Keep in mind as you travel through these that some of these really ARE actual band/artist sites, and some are FAN sites.
Having fun is Rock and Roll.
If you see some names in here that you think may not belong, think why they were chosen to be here. Influences of Rock and Roll came from all sorts of places!

Rock and Roll ain't noise pollution. Some of these bands ARE STILL AROUND AND ROCKIN'! Visit their site, spend some time and go buy a CD!
