Classic Rock Tourney 2015 - 2 polls

Led Zeppelin has no filler tracks or boring ones for me.

Yeah, maybe "second-tier" is not the perfect word to be used, but Peter Grant their manager once said he wanted Zep to be selling as many tickets as The Rolling Stones , who out sold them by 3/4's of the arenas / stadiums ?

Other people picked up on the "2nd tier" already, but I also don't like the moniker "classic rock" applied to hard/heavy rock/metal bands.

But oh well, let's play. My favourite out of those as a whole is probably Led Zep. But Dio-era Rainbow is probably even better, or at least they are closer to my personal definition of musical perfection. So I'll vote for them.

BOC for me.

voted for Rainbow. ... why? why not.....

Gotta go for Zep, although Rainbow is close. I like most of these bands, with the exception of The Steve Miller Band.

From the list, my choice is Zeppelin

Then Skynyrd, Rainbow, Floyd, B.O.C, Boston, Yes, and Steve Miller Band a distant last.

You could choose multiple options in the other thread.

I'm not a classic rock guy by any stretch but if I would have to choose, I gotta go with the mighty Led Zep followed by Blue Oyster Cult.

Of those bands, I listen to Rainbow the most, but mostly their '80s Joe Lynn Turner-era stuff though I do like a lot of their '70s Dio/Bonnet material.

Also, Rush and Black Sabbath, Deep Purple, and the most common bands would dominate, so left them out too.  Going with 70's second tier bands]

I agree with the others that you probably should have put Led Zep in the Rush/Black Sabbath tier. They're gonna run away with this poll. I don't even like Led Zeppelin,

love all those bands. went with Pink Floyd.

Pink Floyd. Would've voted for Rainbow.

I choose Pink Floyd by only slightly over Led Zeppelin
