I was raised to love classic rock by my dad. Now I'm a purist, it actually makes me mad when DJs call new music "Rock." Rush, Boston, Aerosmith, AC/DC, The Doors, The Eagles, Foreigner, Journey; That's some of what I think when people say "Rock," new stuff just isn't the same.
I still remember the first time I listened to the lyrics all the way through. It was the middle of the night (I woke up at like 2 to it playing on the radio) and it scared the crap out of me.
Funny that the Eagles are listed as a real "Rock" group -- they're at least as much a Country band as they are Rock.
