Blondie is pretty good. I'm not sure if you're call them rock, more like rock pop. From what I've heard Pat Benatar is a bit of the same style.

I choose classic Rock and have self belief it or no longer obtained a flavor for Hip Hop and option. no longer too undesirable for an older guy. I won't say I hate usa besides the undeniable fact that it somewhat is on the backside of my record.
