How can anyone predict that?

You can say if a band is going to put out five classic records and conquer the world, it's just not predictable.

Plus, Classic Rock was a style form the 70s and 80s: there are plenty of decent bands who play that music now, and I like them, but they are playing homage to a sound of the past. The classic bands of this recent years will be the ones who invent a unique style and sound.

Binne,

I was not asking for predictions, I am asking for bands around today that play in the vein of (sound similar to) Zep. Sabs, Budgie & purple etc.

New classic rock is an oxymoron...

I'll have to agree with Wolfmother too...they rock!!

Loons,

Check out Kelly's Acoustic Lot on My Space

She sounds like an early version of Robert Plant .

good stuff!

Ok, sorry I misunderstood.

Some suggestions:

Buckcherry

Crystal Pistol

Backyard Babies

Hardcore Superstar (the self titled album is the best)

Clark County Daredevils

Black Stone Cherry

And for a band who have a classic rock feel to them, with an updated sound, try Bullets and Octane (their record last year was fuckin great.)

No, I'm with you on that.

They are like The Datsuns to me: listenable, but not great.

It's not the band but the hype that they get which annoys me: all been done before bigger and better......

I can handle "Dimension" and "White Unicorn". Beyond that, the album is a loss for me...I get about halfway through "Woman" before I take it out and throw it across the room in disgust...
