Are the Bee Gees classic rock? Weren't they a pop singing group that sang disco songs?

Good stuff.

And yeah the Bee Gees don't qualify as Classic Rock. They were a 70's disco band. They were good though.

Queen.

I just got into them, and I love them.
I'm not really into the whole "classic rock" thing,
but I'll make an exception for Queen.
Freddie Mercury + Brian May = Awesomest music, lyk omg.

Yeah I hear both of you on that one.

Classic Rock just has a feel to it, that the artists were going through something, and they expressed themselves and their feelings through music.

I listen to nothing else. I grew up on this music. I have vinyls, CDs, posters, shirts of all my favorite bands. I've been to a couple of concerts as well.
