What I consider to be the "classic rock era" is a period of time that began in the 60s, peaked in the 70s, and died in the 80s. It was a great time for rock music and forged many artists into icons. Unfortunately, many of the best bands from this golden age broke up never to reunite and produce new material (The Beatles, Led Zeppelin). Some burned bright, but died too young (Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin), while others continued to release albums, but without the spark of earlier work (Cheap Trick, Eric Clapton). For this playlist I looked at truly iconic classic rock bands that are still making great new music in the 21st century. It includes 14 songs that I feel represent the best of what classic rock artists have produced post year 2000.
