I remember that name. Don't ask me to hum any of their tunes though...

'What About Me'

You poisoned my sweet water
You cut down my green trees
The food you fed my children
Was the cause of their disease

My world is slowly fallin' down
And the air's not safe to breathe
And those of us who care enough
We have to do something....

I'd fall out of my chair in surprise if it did, honestly. I don't think anyone really knows them now, but it was worth a shot.

Back in black,

I hit the sack,

It's been too long, I'm glad to be back.

Yes I got loose,

from the noose,

that's kept me hangin' around.

I've been looking at the sky,

'Cause it's gettin' me high.

Forget the hearse 'cause I'll never die.

I got nine lives,

Cat's eyes,

Abusin' every one of them and running wild!

'Cause I'm back!

Yes, I'm back!

Well, I'm back!

Yes, I'm back!

Well, I'm ba-ha-ha-ha-ack!

(Well) I'm back in black!

Yes, I'm back in black!

AC/DC FUCKING RULES!

Bob Seger, Bob Seger!

"Against the Wind" is one of the greatest songs ever (in my lowly opinion at least)

Warren Zevon is good too.

EDIT: Although, he's more 80's.

Youngsters, here's a tip for you for future discussions of Classic Rock:

Unless it was originally issued on vinyl, it's not Classic Rock!

It may be simillar to CR, it may be a cover of a CR tune, it may be good music, but if it first came out on CD it doesn't qualify as CR.

Since Thanksgiving is just two days away, I have to bring up some lines from my favourite Thanksgiving song. You know you love it.

Obie said he was going to put us in the cell. Said, "Kid, I'm going to put you in the cell, I want your wallet and your belt." And I said, "Obie, I can understand you wanting my wallet so I don't have any money to spend in the cell, but what do you want my belt for?" And he said, "Kid, we don't want any hangings." I said, "Obie, did you think I was going to hang myself for littering?" Obie said he was making sure, and friends Obie was, cause he took out the toilet seat so I couldn't hit myself over the head and drown, and he took out the toilet paper so I couldn't bend the bars roll out the - roll the toilet paper out the window, slide down the roll and have an escape.

Those who don't have Jimi Hendrix on their list should see a doctor, you might not be human.

"And then Obie looked at the seeing-eye dog, and then Obie looked at the twenty-seven, eight by ten coloured, glossy photographs, with the circles and arrows on the back of each one, explaining what each one was to be used as evidence against us, and then he looked at the judge's seeing-eye dog. Then Obie began to cry, because he realized that this was a classic case of American blind justice, and that judge wasn't going to look at those twenty-seven, eight by ten coloured, glossy photographs, with the circles and arrows on the back of each one, explaining what each one was, to be used as evidence against us."

I always loved Alice's Restaurant.

Hell, I'd let you anyways, but you're a bit out of range.

Well it's Elvis when he was still good, and Jerry Lee when he was rising, plus some other bits and pieces.

Iron Maiden rock more than anyone. Maybe not, but they're cool.

Was many years ago that I left home and came this way
I was a young man full of hopes and dreams
But now it seems that all is lost and nothing gained
Sometimes things ain't what they seem

GnR also take big in my books. Why can't I get it out of my head!

She's got a smile that it seems to me
Reminds me of childhood memories
Where everything
Was as fresh as the bright blue sky

"STRANGER IN A STRAAANGE LAND, LAND OF ICE AND SNOOOWWW..."

Why do we not have a headbanging smiley around here?

.

Much as I adore Maiden (and have for the last 18 years), they're more old school metal than classic rock. When the last time you heard them on the radio?

Now if you'll excuse me, I feel a sudden urge to crank Hallowed Be Thy Name at a positively obscene volume.
