Classic Rock StationsThe core albums, artists, and songs most often represented in classic rock stations represent only some of the albums and artists that were actually popular during the so-called classic rock band era. The most enduring classic rock songs and classic rock bands have proven to appeal to new generations of listeners as well as older listeners who knew the music when it originally appeared. British hard rock and progressive rock bands make up a central pillar of classic rock bands; The Rolling Stones, The Who, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Queen, Deep Purple, The Kinks, Black Sabbath, Emerson, Lake & Palmer, Jethro Tull, Yes, and Cream. Many different classic rock songs from these acts are likely to appear on the play lists of classic rock stations. Certain American rock artists are also classic rock mainstays, including Jimi Hendrix, Journey , Aerosmith, The Doors, Heart, Eagles, Lynyrd Skynyrd, .38 Special, The Allman Brothers Band, Big Brother and the Holding Company (as well as Janis Joplin's solo work), Fleetwood Mac, the James Gang, Steve Miller Band, Alice Cooper, Tom Petty, Blue Öyster Cult, Joe Walsh, and Creedence Clearwater Revival. Arena rock bands (such as Styx, Boston, Grand Funk Railroad, Journey, Foreigner, REO Speedwagon and Supertramp) also often appear on classic rock stations. Many other bands may appear occasionally on classic rock stations. For example, while bands like Steppenwolf and Kiss recorded over a dozen studio albums, only their best known songs, "Born to Be Wild" or "Magic Carpet Ride" and "Rock and Roll All Nite," are likely to be heard within the classic rock station.
