How were some classic rock acts viewed when you were growing up?
As much as we like to think we base our judgement on music acts solely on the music itself there isn't any doubt that music acts will have fluctuating degrees of "cool" associated with them, depending on location and time period. I can only speak from experience- don't we all? But for example...- RhyeInTheJar

If you saw a classic rock band live, which had the best sound?

Classical composers got groupies too!
I remember reading this bit about Beethoven and finding it amusing "Ugly as he was, Beethoven easily attracted women. His pupil, Ferdinand Ries, described how, one day, he found Beethoven on a sofa with an unknown young woman. Ries had come for a lesson. Beethoven waved him to the piano...- RhyeInTheJar

What's the most overrated classic rock song?
Two things worth mentioning. You can be a big fan of a band and yet still think a song of theirs is too overrated from a musical standpoint. Secondly and more importantly don't confuse "overrated" with "sick of hearing in played on the radio"!:) There's many songs I think are actually great buy...- RhyeInTheJar
