Keeping it Old-School

Take one of your favorite 'old-school' bands, and create a song imitating their style. There is no restriction on genre, and the band can still be active.

*Note: I am not telling you to cover their song, or do your own version of one of their songs, just create your own song, using as far as possible the same feel, sound, tone, or whatever you wish as they did.

    Sounds fun. Just for clarification, what qualifies as 'old school'? In other words, how far back do we have to go.

    These days, even the 90s is starting to become old school.
      Haha, I was waiting for someone to ask. Use your discretion on what Old-School means to you. But you are welcome to do a 90's artist, I agree, they are becoming Old School.
        I think definitive 'old school' started in 1960 and trailed off when hair metal and glam rock acts hit the scene in the 80s... but that's just me.

        I'll aim for that era.

          I reckon it'll make for interesting voting as we'll all have a different definition of what's 'old skool' vs 'classic'. The first thing that came to mind was Metallica's "Kill 'em all" - old school riffy metal - and I'd consider 70's Black Sabbath as classic ?
            Old School is a big umbrella term, and could include Classic Rock.

            But dont get hung on rock only, there is old school hip hop, rap, RNB, blues, funk etc
              Sorry quick question: Old-School "Band" specific or can it also be Old-School "artist"?
                I'm sure that doesn't matter Stud.
                  Good, cause I've got one idea, and one idea only!

                    I got something in, but more importantly where's Adrian, I hope everything's alright?
                      I'm looking forward to hearing everyone's take on whatever band they chose to go with. It was a fun challenge.
                        I'm here guys. Sorry, been a bit distracted at work, and also my gmail account is giving me problems. Bear with me
