<p>^Does Green Day count as punk rock? I love a lot of their albums - they were the first real band I was into.</p>
<p>^^Yeh, Pink Floyd, and classic rock in general, are definitely not for everyone.</p>
<p>@Splonk, sad to hear, their a great band. I noticed many who dislike Pink Floyd or Led Zep tend to like The Beatles and the Stones more.</p>
<p>No, Green Day is pop punk for sure, especially lately. You could actually make a small argument for some of their stuff as folk punk (I say a select small bit of their stuff) but most of it, especially the recent stuff, is pop punk, which is not anywhere as good as folk punk or real punk.</p>
<p>Most of their stuff sounds like pop alt.</p>
<p>Yeah pop punk/alternative would be a solid description for Green Day.</p>
<p>Favorite bands for me are Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin.
Just going to list my favorite songs by each for the hell of it.</p>
<p>Pink Floyd:
Dogs
Pigs (Three Different Ones)
Echoes
Interstellar Overdrive
Comfortably Numb
In The Flesh
The Trial
Welcome To The Machine
Brain Damage</p>
<p>Led Zeppelin:
The Rain Song
The Song Remains The Same
Since I’ve Been Loving You
All of Led Zeppelin I
When The Levee Breaks
Thank You
In The Light
Tangerine</p>
<p>Check em’ out</p>
<p>^Agree with most of the Pink Floyd stuff on the list, except I’d take off Dogs and replace with Astronomy Domine, remove In The Flesh and replace it with Wish You Were Here and replace The Trial with Eclipse.</p>
<p>On the other hand, AC/DC’s Highway to Hell is some great stuff.</p>
<p>Ugh go back to the 60’s. The last thing we need are more filthy hippy stoners populating our earth.</p>
<p>Echoes is my favorite, but I don’t like much Floyd other than that. I much prefer Yes and King Crimson and, including modern bands, Porcupine Tree and Pain of Salvation.</p>
<p>Ozzy Osbourne anyone? lol</p>
<p>Anyone else here enjoy King Crimson? Definitely one of the underrated bands of the last 40 years</p>
<p>I like The Court of the Crimson King - though that’s their only song I’ve listened to.</p>
<p>I have In the court of the crimson king, larks tongue in aspic, and red. Orginators of proggg.</p>
<p>[YouTube</a> - King Crimson - Fallen Angel](<a href=“- YouTube”>- YouTube)</p>
<p>I have a wide array of progressive rock from the 70s in my collection too:</p>
<p>yes, pink floyd, genesis, camel, van der graaf generator, king crimson, gentle giant, mike oldfield, ELP, Kansas, etc.</p>
<p>My god I love the first 7 bands you mentioned (from Yes to Gentle Giant). Kansas is okay, but I don’t really like ELP</p>
<p>Red is my favorite KC album primarily because of Starless, which is one of the greatest songs ever written.</p>
