Anyway, I have another suggested "Not Classic Rock" band. It's a four-piece band from England called...The Beatles! Okay, not really. The band is called "The 1975", and they are really good. I'm not sure how to categorize them, though. Here's a quote from lead vocalist, producer, lyricist and rhythm guitarist Matthew Healy, "When I say we're a pop band, what I'm really saying is we're not a rock band. Please stop calling us a rock band -- because I think that's the only music we don't make." That sound pretty far removed from classic rock, right?
As an iTunes review of their third album "A Brief Inquiry Into Online Relationships" states, "Thanks to their eclecticism and adventure, attempting to label The 1975 has been as easy as serving tea in a sieve. The Cheshire lads are, once again, many things, including jazz crooners, 2-step experimentalists, and yearning balladeers. What's most impressive in their ability to wrangle all these ideas into coherent music, as their outsize ambition never makes the songs feel cluttered. And Healy's lyrics add extra substance to the kaleidoscope of styles."
The 1975 makes really creative and interesting music. I suggest you give them a legitimate chance. I don't think you will be sorry.
