Your Favorite Classic Arena Rock Band

[77Rumours77]

So whats your favorite 70's arena rock band?
I know some people here have a strong dislike to these bands but I dont, so ya know. :cool:

[amber]

Welll, I don't really know them all, but More Than a Feeling is one of my fave songs by an Arena band...who are they, anyway, besides Mac?
Boston
Journey ?

I'm not really sure who all is considered to be the Arena bands. :shrug:

[77Rumours77]

THIS IS ALL BESIDE THE MAC! THE DON"T COUNT! LOL :eek: :o :)

sorry, didn't see the poll before. ok. der.

I hate all of those bands. Heh. I do enjoy the crazy arena rock Kinks, though. That was fun. And, I dunno if Petty's considered arena rock or not.

[Moony]

I HATE STADIUM/ARENA ROCK BANDS!

:p

[GypsySorcerer]

I love Journey. :o I can't help it. I also like Foreigner and Styx.

[macfanken]

I'm not a big fan of any of these bands now, but I'll admit that the first record I ever bought (20+ years ago) was a Journey record. I think it was Escape.

Arena rock bands. blech. And no, Petty's not considered arena rock. Not by me, anyway. He's good. :laugh:

Heh. I would agree. I just hear people say that he's arena rock, so yeah.

I love Journey! :nod: Don't care for the other bands that much. Maybe a song or two here and there.

I don't "HATE" Arena Rock bands, I just dislike 'em a lot!

Well, it depends on what ERA of those bands...

I love the pre-Steve Perry Journey...couldn't stand 'em after he joined (other than "Don't Stop Believin'")

I love the first four Foreigner albums, but then they kinda dropped off a cliff quality wise.

Styx, I just never have had time for, but I heard their recent live cover of the Beatles' "I Am The Walrus" and was pretty impressed.

Boston?!?! Blech! Although, as a guitar player, I'm VERY glad that Tom Scholz tinkered with effects & such in his garage like he did. So, as an inventor, I like HIM, the band, to me, sucks.

.38 Special...hmmmm, if these guys are considered "Arena Rock", what about: Lynyrd Skynyrd?
Molly Hatchet?
Blackfoot?
Doobie Bros?
Sanford-Townsend Band?

Do you consider THEM Arena Rock bands?

[estranged4life]

Just about all the bands listed were in my Mother's cd collection (Excluding Journey, Styx & .38 Special), Especially Foreigner, Who she literally played the **** outta on 24/7 basis back when I was just a punky 7-to-9 year kid...God bless my Mom, her music collection is making me nostalgic :nod:

I HATE STADIUM/ARENA ROCK BANDS!

:pMe too although it's unfair to characterize all the stadium/arena rock bands this way -- these guys in the poll are all the bland, corporate AOR rock bands. Going back earlier, you had truly great live bands like Zep & the Who as being stadium/arena rock

As a live act, the Who wipes the floor with all these numbskulls

In general, follow David's Principle: the more keyboard hardware is onstage, the worse the band is.

As for Journey, it's fun to go see Escape the Journey tribute band

[ontheEdgeof17]

Styx is fun. For me, at least. :o

[Hawkeye]

I really really dislike the Arena Rock faction of rock. Styx and Journey are by far the worst. REO Speedwagon is very close behind but gets a few points just because I LOVE Riding the Storm Out so much. I always considered Foreigner to be similar to all these bands but they just have something extra. Like these bands are all related brothers and Foreigner is just the only brother that in my eyes created anything worth listenign to at all.

I guess I'm the only one that loves all these bands. Pssssh :cool:

[dissention]

None of them. I'm a John Tesh kind of guy, myself.

You aliens have to stick together. :rolleyes: :xoxo:

I don't like any of those bands, except for Boston, a little bit.

I love to make fun of that guy, he's such a ****ing nut. His music is worse than Chinese water torture. And his head? Is enormous.

I don't like ANY of them. :eek:

Ah! Because it really is more than a feeling, isn't it? :laugh:
