THE SONIC INSIDER

MODERN CLASSIC: PLAYLIST

I’ve always had a soft spot for classic rock — from the 60s through the 80s — and one of my greatest joys is discovering modern independent artists who channel the spirit of that golden era. Over time, I’ve built countless playlists around this theme, but I decided it was time to bring all my favorite finds together in one place. This all-encompassing playlist is your go-to spot for new artists with a timeless, vintage aura. Expect echoes of legends like Steely Dan, Bob Dylan, Paul McCartney, The Allman Brothers Band, AC/DC, Aerosmith, Tom Petty, ELO, Pink Floyd, and many more. On the indie front, you’ll hear standouts like Ryan Scott, Glenn Annie, Jonathan Wilson, Mt. Joy, and Michael Rault — artists keeping the classic rock flame alive in fresh and exciting ways.
