Rock Klassics

Okay.....so you're asking what this blog is all about. Well, as the title implies, it is about classic rock music which may include new releases and / or music that I recommend you check out. You are probably not going to hear most of what is listed here on your local radio stations. You may not even hear it on the satellite stations (XM and Sirius) since they continue to tighten their playlists all the time.
