Absolutely! Among other genres. Mostly classic rock but there's not much I have to turn off! Disco & rap I guess...

Thread reminded me that I discovered a new band last week that I really like. Out of Atlanta....called Blackberry Smoke. Kinda like a southern rock/honky tonk style. If you're into that sort of thing, check them out.

The Paul Reed Smith factory is just down Rt8 towards Love Point, not far from Hemmingways. I used to deliver their mail years ago in Annapolis, when they were just getting started.

A lot of what folks call classic rock was blues or transitional blues, Spencer Davis, Band of Gypsies, Cream, etc.

Yep! Most classic rock is blues based stuff. Led Zeppelin I? Super classic!

Have you heard any of the "new" classic rock? Black Country Communion? Google 'em. They're coming to the 9:30 Club on June 19th...

I hate to date myself, but I went to see Led Zeppelin on their first American tour. They were opening for a band called Vanilla Fudge. Wow, did that change fast.

I remember reading about that tour!

Seen 'em 5 times in the mid-70's at Madison Square Garden! Excellent!
