100 Artists to Be Thankful For: Classic Vinyl Counts Down Your Early-Era Classic Rock Favorites
These are the Rock Stars who gave the gift that keeps on spinning

The cars have changed. The hairstyles, too. Maybe even the speakers and turntables. But the music? That’s never left us. The artists of early-era classic rock gave us songs that still bring back the people, places, and moments that matter most. This Thanksgiving, we’re turning our appreciation into a countdown of the 100 artists who’ve earned a permanent place in our record collections and our hearts.
Directions: Vote once for up to 20 of your favorite artists in the poll below. Use the write-in box at the bottom to let us know any artist you think we missed. Voting closes at 11:59pm ET on November 22. Then, hear the top 100 counted down on Classic Vinyl (Ch. 26) over the extended Thanksgiving weekend!
Important: Please note that all artists in the poll are from the EARLY ERA of Classic Rock. That’s why you won’t find, for example, Van Halen, which is from Classic Rock’s Cassette Era, heard on Classic Rewind. All good? Thank you for voting. Please note that the order of artists is randomized for each individual listener to insure an equal chance for all.
