I am fucking sick of classic fucking rock!

97. They don't play the best bands of the era.

They play the bands that sold lots of records but weren't musicially at the top.

I consider Steve Miller to be mediocre, same with Styx, Van Halen, Aerosmith, Lynyrd Skynyrd. KISS is a joke.

The classic rock stations aren't playing the best of the Beatles, the Kinks, The Who, the Stones, and several other excellent bands.

I grew up listening to late 50s-60s-70s-80s. I pretty much gave up on rock when The Police broke up right after the Synchronicity tour in 83. And I really gave up after the late 80s and Robert Palmer's hits which I liked a lot.

I quit listening to new stuff when grunge and Nirvana hit.

I didn't like it that the critics didn't like progressive rock because EL&P and Yes had guys with excellent classical chops, which the critics called "pretentious". I think they were just jealous. They couldn't play "The Great Gate of Kiev" like EL&P did. Hell, the critics wouldn't even KNOW "Pictures at an Exhibition" in the first place or who Moussorgsky was.

As a piano player, the person I wanted to be like in college was Rick Wakeman, keyboard player of Yes and also solo artist.
