Classic rock source?

**McDuck** · 12th February 2009, 21:31

I would like some info people of KB land.

I have always liked the older rock but i have been growing to it more and more over the past few months, but where do i find (preferebly) CDs? I am talking about 1970-1990 (+nirvana).

So yea any ideas would be good.

Thanks

I just havent seemed to find one that has a decent selection of older stuff.

Idearly a website or store devoted to it or a section devoted to it.

Oh Fuck I turned 34 a week ago, but you just made me feel 64. When did Metallica and Alice Cooper become classic rock...

Isn't there a Real Groovy in Hawke's Bay now? EDIT: Apparently not.

If not, the www.realgroovy.co.nz website is really good.

Rainbow
Black Sabbath
Deep Purple
Hawkwind
Motorhead
Dio

I got a lot of mine from compilation CDs in the bargain bins.
For every Sheena Easton there is a Copperhead Road.
And then more recently from iTunes. A lot of best of/greatest hits.

Whereas Ketchup would be your classic rock sauce.

I've had a lot of luck online with Marbecks.

If you're into the classic stuff, check out Valient Thorr, Moustache and Clutch.

All newer bands, but with that awesome 70's fuzz sound.

i havnt actually BOUGHT a CD since the original release of Brothers in Arms..

the CD's i DO own have all been promo copies
,
most of the music in my collection has either been downloaded, swapped with mates or , in one case.. core dumped from my last radio station's music library

i may be a dinosaur, but i firmly believe that there has been nothing original since the early 80's (no.. not the pop/ new wave 80's either)

its all samples, mashups and ripoffs anymore

Check out http://www.rockdetector.com type in artist you like and see what happens, It used to cross reference everything, Don't know about now, Site won't work for me, I'm hoping its temporary.

There is also an online radio station where you type in a band name and it puts together a playlist featuring similar groups, Can't remember what its called, Though its damn cool.

Personally I'm building up a CD collection via trademe, up to a couple hundred so far, Its going to be huge in a few years,getting in 5 or 6 cd's a week.

Gave up on digital crap, The compression ruins it, and the quality varies so much that it makes it pointless.And if you can't hear that its ruined then either your ears or your stereo are crap.

edit-Rock Detector just came to life, Done a search for Alice Cooper, it listed a shitload of musicians who have played with him and linked to all the other bands they in turn have played with. Just follow your nose and type a few of the bands listed into youtube....Should keep you busy for years.
