There is little agreement on the definition of rock, much less the more specialized genre of classic rock. Rock 'n' roll appears in many dictionaries, but its definitions vary substantially. In the middle of so many diversity, how can we choice “the best of the best” if each of us has our favorite individual songs, artists and albums???
Here we provide you the lists of the greatest of all time in each category, according to the most renewed institutions and organizations related to rock 'n' roll. Because most lists are based on different criteria - record sales, radio airplay, listener requests, the list-maker's personal preferences, etc. - they don't all agree on which songs, album on artist/band should be on the list. But if you are new to classic rock, this is your starting place. These lists reflect the variety of musical styles that are found within the classic rock and cover only a fraction of the best classic rock style. It represents a recommended starting place for developing a full appreciation of the genre.
