Bridge of Sighs
Classic Rock Links

All the links posted here have been reviewed: most have artist info, discographies and artwork. I especially look for sites that focus on bands with prolific guitar players. The list is short so far, but I think it's better to be discriminating.

Visit Dave Hodgkinson's newly revamped Deep Purple site, The Highway Star. It's literally a total reference for one of the best rock bands to ever take to the stage (or to the studio for that matter :-). And, it's endorsed and contributed to by members of Purple themselves!

Wow is all I can say about this site! It's the Encyclopedia of Canadian Pop and Rock Music. It's an incredibly comprehensive listing of the Canadian music scene from the 60s to the present. The encyclopedia includes histories of each band, member's lists, and 45 and LP discographies. Check this one out!

Of course, you'll want to visit the All Music Guide for a virtually complete reference of just about every band imaginable. There's extremely complete discogrpahies and tons of artist info. Personally, I used to like the old Ultimate Band List, but it seems to have disappeared.

Any respectable Trower site obviously needs a link to a Procol Harum Page, and Beyond The Pale is without question the premiere Procol source on the 'Net. Make sure you check out this site--it's updated virtually every day and has a wealth of info!

Just in case you missed 'em in the Trower News Section, the official Robin Trower site is at www.trowerpower.com. Drummer Bill Lordan also has his own Web Site at www.billlordan.com, and Singer Davey Pattison has his own site at www.daveypattison.com.

Speaking of great players . . . you gotta check out Ronnie Montrose's site at www.ronniemontrose.com, as well as one of the fantastic newer project he's involved with, Anti-M. Many thanks to John Wardlaw (The Wedge) for the great Anti-M link!! Super band!!!

One band that is greatly overlooked these days is Thin Lizzy. This site by Ed Poole is a tad on the plain side (IMHO), but more than makes up with a wealth of content: FAQs, discographies and excellent bios.

I know we should generally stay away from 'Official' sites, but this one is too good to miss. It's Queen's Official Web Site. The graphics are splendiforous, and there's a complete collection of artwork , memoribillia and the like.

Okay . . . I'm gonna give in again with this pick--it's an 'Official' site, but what the heck :-). Take a boo at the Grand Funk Railroad Site. I love this band so much, I just couldn't leave them out ;-)

Who's on first? I never figured that one out, but there's a great Who site at TheWho.Net. I really liked this site for it's wealth of information and informal style.

What would classic rock be without the blues, and The Allman Brothers were the cream of the crop. Although somewhat incorrectly labelled as exclusively 'Southern', they featured some of the best blues/rock guitar players around in Dickie Betts and Duane Allman.

A little Cheap Trick never hurt anyone <g>. The Cheapsters deserve mention here for showing the world how power pop should be played. Robin Zander has arguably the single best voice in rock music. You can also vist the Official Cheap Trick Site for some great info.

One of the best looking music sites I've seen in a while, Yes: Notes From The Edge is devoted to the progressive rock pioneers. With a full slate of artwork, bios and related links, this page is well worth the visit.

This site, dedicated to Jethro Tull, is the best I've found on the 'Net for Tull fans. It doesn't have a lot of fancy graphics, but boasts an incredibly thorough discography and history.
