It takes guts to criticize someone else's musical tastes and then put up Fuel, Journey, Third Eye Blind, etc. Don't get me wrong, I like some of their songs, but by no means would I ever put them on the top of any list.
You do not have to be a classic rock "freak" to appreciate music by the Beatles, AC/DC, Zep, and Pink Floyd. I would also throw The Who and the Rolling Stones up there. These are some of the best bands, ever. No question.
