Mainers Have Spoken and These Are Their Favorite Classic Rock Albums

We are lucky to live in a state that has such great taste.

This fact is clearly evident when one realizes how popular the greatest genre of music is in Maine. Of course, I'm talking about classic rock.

Classic Rock is a Very Popular Music Genre in Maine

Classic rock is like a fine wine; it just keeps getting better with age. That’s because the older we get, the more amazing rock bands end up joining the classic rock fold.

It’s also a genre that fits every season.
Summer barbecues? Classic rock.
Football tailgates? Classic rock.
Christmas parties? Classic rock.
Spring cleaning? Yep—classic rock.

I mean, what more do you need than fantastic guitar riffs, ripping solos, scratchy voices, and unforgettable lyrics? Absolutely nothing.

With classic rock being such a big deal in Maine, I figured it would be fun to do a little crowdsourcing on the ol’ social medias to find out which albums Mainers truly rock with the most. I was looking for the iconic records—you know, the ones where no track gets skipped and every lyric lives rent-free in your head.
