Which groups/songs do you are slept on today and don't get much if any recognition. Of course everybody knows the Beatles, The Who(still might be a little underrated), The Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin

Who do you think still kick it?

This is of course coming from a 23yr old who wasn't around 30-40 years ago, so maybe I don't know the half of it.

I miss the way the instruments here sound. You can't hear guitar like this anymore

The Traveling Wilburys, period. Sure the individual members are well known (George Harrison, Bob Dylan, Roy Orbison, Tom Petty, and Jeff Lynne, accompanied by session musician Jim Keltner) but I never heard about them until I was looking up George Harrison on Wikipedia. It's every bit as awesome as it sounds:

I didn't appreciate for a long time that Tweeter and the Monkey Man is an extended homage to Springsteen songs. Which goes some way towards explaining it...

There is the song "With a Little Luck" by Paul and Linda McCartney and Wings, from Spring and Summer 1978:

Ahhh, a classic rock thread, something I can sink my teeth into. Well, I definitely don't hear enough REO Speedwagon, Thin Lizzie, Ted Nugent, Foghat, Cream, and probably at least a dozen others.
