10 Bands All Real Classic Rock Fans Love

Sometimes the music that mom and dad showed you isn't half bad, it may actually end up being some of the best music you ever hear. If it was being listened to in the 60s and still hasn't lost it's buzz, it definitely deserves a listen. I can't count how many times I've been told, "you like the same music as my parents." Here are some bands you may already love if have an appreciation for classic rock or need to give a chance too!

1. Led Zeppelin

Led Zeppelin is known by many as the best rock and roll band of all time. I don't know a soul who doesn't know Stairway to Heaven but Led Zeppelin is so much more than that! If your looking for a classic song to relax with you'll love Over the Hills and Far Away or Fool in the Rain. But if your looking to rock out maybe start with Kasmir or Black Dog.

2. The Beatles


Who doesn't love the Beatles? Not many people for sure. They defined an entire era. No band transcends the meaning of love and peace, like the Beatles do. Some of my personal favorites are All you need is love, Hey Jude, I Wanna Hold Your Hand, Dear Prudence, and With A Little Help From My Friends. Also watch Across the Universe, you won't regret it!

3. Pink Floyd

I used to wake up to my Dark Side of The Moon tapestry every morning and it was a beautiful sight. I saw Roger Waters build The Wall and it was one of the most amazing experiences I've had. If you don't listen to Pink Floyd you need too! Wish You Were Here is my all time favorite, but I don't even know where to start picking and choosing between the rest.

4. The Who

There's no sound that gets me hyped like the beginning of Baba O' Riley. If you ever find yourself in the mood to listen to a rock opera I highly recommend Tommy. It's hard to put words to the amount of talent displayed in The Who''s music.

5. The Rolling Stones

The logo of The Rolling Stones is going to be a symbol of rock n' roll for ages. If you only know Gimme Shelter because of Rock Band, you need to expand your horizons! You Can't Always Get What you Want is one of my favorites songs of all time, I also highly recommend Sympathy for the Devil and Beast Of Burden.

6. Rush


My heart melted when the movie "I Love You Man" paid tribute to Rush, because they are such an amazing band. While Paul Rudd and Jason Segel didn't play Tom Sawyer as well as Rush it was still hilarious! You must listen to Closer to the Heart and Limelight! When I was a little girl Alex Lifeson, the guitarist, gave me a guitar pick at a concert and I'll forever be grateful.

7. Billy Joel

He's listed amongst a bunch of classic rock legends, but Billy Joel is legendary himself. He's my favorite Piano Man to ever exist and I don't see anyone ever replacing him. I could listen to Vienna non stop all day, and I also love She's Always A Women, The Longest Time, Scenes from an Italian Restaurant, and Uptown Girl.

8. David Bowie


The late David Bowie was an icon and magnificent artist. His music is so unique and touches your soul. Some of his best songs in my opinion were, Changes, Life On Mars, and Space Oddity.

9. Lynard Skynard



Lynyrd Skynyrd is the American Rock Band. EVERYONE knows Sweet Home Alabama. Most people know Free Bird which I think is a beautiful song. You also need to listen to Simple Man, Gimme Three Steps and What's Your Name.

10. Eric Clapton

He was a member of The Yardbirds and Cream. All of his music is amazing, it's no coincidence I want to name my first born Layla.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
