The Who
The Rolling Stones
AC/DC
Black Sabbath
If you want to get into the faster/Punk-ier shit:
Bad Brains
Ramones
Operation Ivy

Start with some 60s shit breh. Led Zeppelin II, Are You Experienced, Disraeli Gears etc. Figure out what sounds you're into and browse stuff on iTunes.

I just said Vampire Weekend to fuck with people here lol. I agree thoughMY MAN
Not very "rock-y" though. I see them as like a pop form of rock. Like the Beatles.
Trust, Cloud Nothings, and Japandroids are good current rock bands, imo. Swans is great too, but I don't know if you should start there.

i blame all the limpwristed Jitterses in my life telling me Fleet Foxes had next

Fuck me.
Listening to My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy.
I had accidentally downloaded the clean version when it came out, and i didn't think it was the end all be all. I had it in my head for the last couple years that it was a solid 8 out of 10.
Well i decided to get the regular version today and re listen.
Masterpiece. This is opera rap right here. This is production and rapping at some of its finest.
Songs are all great.
DAMN KANYE

Fleet Foxes first album is classic status breh. Doubt they're "next" of anything though, although I'm glad they're getting recognition.
second album is pretty good too imo...

that was probably just a one time thing. artists have visa problems all the time. they are very picky with the paper work when its people coming up to make money.
I thought it was because he has a criminal record

I said a "little".Over hyped? The fuck outta here, Jitters.
Fleet Foxes suck. Vampire Weekend sucks. Fuck those types of bands. I don't even fuck with the genre too much.
You suck.
.You suck.

we all listen to shit
I think that's bullshit, the hunt is just harder because they aren't making waves.Fleet Foxes ain't too bad. Maybe a little over hyped.
If we are listing classics, than Pavement should definitely get a mention.
edit: There is so few good rock releases now, I don't know if a Rock-GAF would last. Unless we are using the term broadly.

A lot of rock now is super cloudy and overly distorted.

this is all you need.
and i agree with jitters. GOOD true rock is hard to find these days. its all this watered down bullshit. or pitchforked up the wazoo.

If you don't like 2112 there's probably something wrong with you...
When you guys say stuff like "Pitchforky", do you mean overly distorted stuff like Lightning Bolt and Metz?
Speedy Otiz is another good rock band. They kind of rip off great bands like Pavement and Archers of Loaf, but I mean that in a good way.
I like Speedy Ortiz as well, but I gotta say I think you should relisten to Metz because categorizing them with the likes of Lightning Bolt and Hella is pretty off. They use less distortion than Swans, who you recommended a few posts ago, and are pretty much my favorite newish band.
My problem with labeling something too pitchforky is that it sounds as if you're docking points from bands for being too experimental, which is unfair considering that if every band sounded exactly like Rush or Led Zeppelin or whatever band you antiquarians can't get over you'd give them just as much shit for it.

honestly, who doesnt fucks with queen. freddie is the goat frontman. well maybe david lee roth. its a toss up.
Jesus, dude. Not even close. Freddie is so much better. You just tried to compare Biggie with 50 Cent.
