Line 19:
The core albums, artists, and songs most often represented in classic rock radio represent a ''subset'' of the albums and artists that were actually popular during the so-called "classic rock era". The most enduring classic rock songs and artists have proven to appeal to new generations of listeners as well as older listeners who knew the music when it originally appeared.
British [[hard rock]] and [[progressive rock]] bands make up a central pillar of classic rock artists; significant among these are [[Led Zeppelin]], [[The Beatles]], [[The Rolling Stones]], [[The Who]], [[The Kinks]], [[Pink Floyd]], [[The Doors]] (actually an American band), [[The Moody Blues]], [[Yes (band)|Yes]], [[Rush (band)|Rush]] (actually a Canadian band), and [[Queen (band)|Queen]]. Many different songs from these acts are likely to appear on the playlists of classic rock stations.
American-bred '70s rockers (notably [[Bruce Springsteen]], [[Boston (band)|Boston]], [[Aerosmith]] and [[The Eagles]]) and [[arena rock]] bands (such as [[Styx (band)|Styx]], [[Journey (band)|Journey]], and [[Supertramp]]) often appear on classic rock stations. In many areas, [[Southern rock]], notably that of [[Lynyrd Skynyrd]] and [[The Allman Brothers Band]], forms a significant subset of classic rock playlists as well.
