Looking for Good Classic Rock...

Einhander Sn0m4n · Post by **Einhander Sn0m4n** » 2005-11-25 04:19am

Anyone got any good titles for '50s, '60s, '70s, and '80s rock? I already know most any Led Zep and Pink Floyd is gold, for example, but I'm looking for y'all's picks for good Classic Rock. Thanks

Stop me if you've heard this already, but I'm partial to: Styx; Elton John; Chicago (the earlier stuff); Blood Sweat & Tears; Boston; Crosby, Stills, Nash (& Young). Those are just from the 70s and 80s. There are so many that it hurts if you count the 50s and 60s.

A few of my favourites:

"Can't You See" by the Marshall Tucker Band
"Cathedral," "Chicago" and "Carry On/Questions" by Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young
"Moondance" by Van Morrison
"What About Me" by Quicksilver Messenger Service
"Long-Distance Runaround," "Close to the Edge" (that whole album is amazing), "I've Seen All Good People," and "Roundabout" by Yes
"Ain't No Sunshine" by Bill Withers
"Whipping Post" and "Midnight Rider" by the Allman Brothers Band
"The Weight" by The Band
"King of Pain" by The Police
"Mr. Soul" by Buffalo Springfield
"The Court Of The Crimson King/The Return Of The Fire Witch/The Dance Of The Puppets" by King Crimson

Queen and Van Halen are two of the more obvious and essential ones.

Make sure you get How the West Was Won if you get Zeppelin stuff.

Einy, now that your living in San Antonio you should tune in 103.7(it suppose to be on 105.4 to but I only hear it on 103.7) KMFR. They play a better mix and older stuff then 104.5 KZEP, and they have a much better comercial set up since they are smaller. 4 comercials an hour spread out, all made and voiced by the people that run the station so that they aren't annoying as fuck like most radio comercials are nowadays(far exceeding Old Navy TV ads)

Anything by ELO.
Anything by Elvis.
Alice Cooper's 70s and early 80s
REO SpeedWagon, Toto, and Kansas for the rock ballads

Major Tom David Bowie (Its funny, I really like that song but I cant stand the majority of his work)

Under Pressure and Fat Bottom Girls by Queen have been on my playlist the past month.

Shout it out Load by Kiss

Three Dog Night's Jerehmia Bullfog is an awsome song. They got alot of groovy tunes.

Rush and Alan Parsons Project. Guarantee you'll dig at least some of Alan Parsons if you like Pink Floyd, and Rush just flat-out rocks.

Interesting tidbit: Alan Parsons worked as the sound producer on Dark Side of the Moon.

Queen, Van Halen, Elton John and Chicago all rule, as do the Beatles (of course).

Deeeep Puuuuurple.

Obviously there's Smoke on the Water, but I'm also a big fan of stuff like Highway Star, Burn, and Space Truckin'.

The title of that Three Dog Night song, you know, the famous one, is actually "Joy to the World"

Can never go wrong with Queen.

Or Bowie. Check out stuff Ziggy Stardust.
