    If CR was embodied in one band, represented and defined by one act, who would you choose? Me?

    Rainbow!

    Rainbow!

    Blackmore's dismissive and 'off colour' reference to music of a syncopated nature as 'shoeshine music', marks him down a peg or two for me.
    From where did he think the blues came?
    Having got that out of the way I feel alright now.

    I'll nominate: Free

    Led Zeppelin.

    They lived the life, sold their souls, paid their dues and three of them are still alive. Greatest band ever.

    Spinal Tap?

    Drugs, girls, long hair, mysterious tragedies all have to play their part.

    I have three I cannot decide between, The Doors, Led Zep and Floyd.

    As two have been mentioned, I'll go with Pink Floyd.

    Looking slightly stoned:

    The greatest classic rock band of all time was the stones from 68 to 74 with Mick Taylor on lead guitar (although he didn't play on beggars banquet):

    1968 Beggars Banquet
    1969 Let It Bleed
    1971 Sticky Fingers
    1972 Exile on Main St.
    1973 Goats Head Soup
    1974 It's Only Rock 'n Roll

    Led Zeppelin, without a doubt. And to think that some people still call them a heavy metal band. For shame!
