Top 5 "Classic Rock" Bands (and your favorite song by each if you feel so disposed)

1. The Moody Blues



Props to them for still touring and being generally good 40 years later. After all, they're just singers in a rock n' roll band.

The Moody Blues - I'm Just A Singer In A Rock N' Roll Band

2. The Beatles



The band that got the ball rolling. There aren't many bands with this much talent. That's such a shame.

The Beatles - In My Life

3. Elvis Costello w/and without the Attractions



The best thing about Elvis; his snark. Plus he's much more of a chameleon than any other artist. There aren't many genres that he hasn't tried over the years and for the most part he adapts to those different style remarkably well.

Elvis Costello & The Attractions - Shabby Doll

4. Cheap Trick



Great songwriting. A cute singer. What more can you ask for? Fashion sense! Oh well, ya can't win em all.

Cheap Trick - I Can't Take It

5. Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers



The epitome of rock n' roll. And hell, if George Harrison likes ya, you can't be all bad!

Tom Petty - You Got Lucky
