i also enjoy classic rock, but a local station keeps playing the same songs over and over to the point i now have a hard time listening to such music...

Really there's too many good Rock bands from the 70s and 80s, I could go on for ages.

The real question should have been, anyone got the names of any modern bands who can come even close to them ?

If so I'd love to hear them, because most of the modern Rock entries I've heard are but pale imitations.

Gary i asked my hubby what he thought ( big heavy rock fan ) but he couldnt come up with any new names of the same style (times have moved on ) Although we both love The Killers, and he likes the Keiser Chiefs
did you watch any of Glastonbury ? He highly rated The Who's stint and of course no better way to look out for new bands

Led zepplin
Black sabbath etc

Oh, and an old band from Yorkshire.....Saxon.
One of who's members was born and still lives just around the corner from me in Mexborough in an old semi, goes in my local pub, and nobody takes one blind bit of notice unless it's to say "how yer goin on?"....(nobody takes any notice of celebs round here

)
