I actually like a lot of classic rock (yes even Hotel California, that solo kicks ass) but there is a lot of bad classic rock too. What do you think the worst classic rock song is? What is the most overrated band or artist? I think Supertramp is mid at best, but Bob Seeger is truly dreadful.
Most of it is trash, but I hope we can agree that Rush is pretty good. I listen to 2112 every few months. It slaps.
I don't think rush is classic rock, it's old prog
