Greg Brodsky

Greg Brodsky, the founder and principal of Best Classic Bands, grew up listening to pop hits on New York’s Top 40 77WABC and later rock on the free-form station WNEW-FM. At Colgate University, he wrote music reviews, was a DJ at the school radio station and ran the campus record store. Greg’s first job was at business magazine Record World as assistant chart editor before moving to the writing side. He later worked for RCA Records, Atlantic Records, Warner Bros., Madison Square Garden and ESPN. Greg formed Best Classic Bands in 2015 when he recognized an opportunity to create a site devoted to the artists, music and pop culture of the classic rock era that so many still enjoy. He drives the company’s strategic development and has interviewed such great musicians as Burton Cummings, Ian Anderson, Nancy Wilson, and Jon Anderson, and behind-the-scenes legends like photographers Elliott Landy and Henry Diltz.
