just got home from illinois.... lock the front door oh boy

MY front door doesnt have a lock..THERE'S always someone awake in my house.....AND I dont live in Chi-town buddy so unless ya gonna drive to NY then I dont gotta worryy if I was planning on it

 

EDIT:::::: :D

we have two correct answers here: bingo, yes, Golden Earring is correct

 

 

 

I'd suggest some real music though - if you want to live in the past, Janis Joplin - early Neil Young - the Hair soundtrack - everything by the Beatles - CSN and/or CSN&Y - and the brand new re-release of the Who's Live at Leeds that now for the first time contains the entire Tommy performance

the hair soundtrack.... nice.... how about jesus christ superstar?

I didnt like any Deep Purple songs......

then you have no taste

 

Hush is one of the great songs of all time

Smoke on the water

kentucky woman

the list goes on and on

the hair soundtrack.... nice.... how about jesus christ superstar?

i prefer the movie JC Superstar soundtrack to the original release - how about you? I think the movie sountrack version is more lively

what does your age have to do with it?

 

and aren't you the person who started this thread looking for classic rock suggestions?????????

 

I am my age and I despise classic rock as a format or genre and will not allow it on anything I own

 

 

but despite it being the Lawrence Welk format of my generation (what ever happened to hope I die before I get old) their is a lot of great music from that era and Deep Purple gave us some of it - there is great music from every era and one should appreciate it all and not limit one's self -

 

but classic rock as a format is for old people who refuse to learn anything new - IMHO (and watch me get flamed by a bunch of future AARPers for that!)

 

 

and Deep Purple rocks! :headbang

Me thinks a guy with eminem as his musical hero will not get a lot of praise for his mucsical taste or knowledge....

Deep Purple....that is classic rock. Smoke on the Water had got to be my favorite classic rock song. You gotta like the guitar in that. f***ing awesome.

 

Can't go wrong with a little Lynyrd Skynyrd(I think I spelled that right). Free Bird, Sweet Home Alabama, and That Smell are all good tunes.

 

Aerosmith is pretty damn good too. Several good ones from him(Ragdoll, Janie's got a gun, Crying, Dream On(which is my favorite Aerosmith song), and several other Aerosmith songs too).

 

Queen is good too....Fat Bottomed Girls, Another one bites the dust, Bohemian Rhapsody, We will rock you, We are the champions(those two should be back-to-back), Crazy Little Thing called love

 

Boston, who's already been mentioned

 

Led Zeppelin, who has also already been mentioned.

 

Hendrix is stellar....Purple Haze and Foxy Lady are my personal favorites from him.

 

Kiss is great too :P (that tongue is supposed to be longer though)

 

ACDC is good....several good ones from them

 

Santana will undoubtedly have some killer guitar, if you're into that

 

The Who is always good

 

The Doors are great(just don't get peed on! :D )

 

Bob Dylan has a few good ones

 

The Rolling Stones have several good songs(though some of them say some not so nice things)

 

Tom Petty is a good one

 

 

There are a ton. If I can think of some more artists, I'll let ya know

 

One more thing.... :begood

ac/dc... how did i forget them :headbang

A couple of corrections here...... Frankenstien was done by The Edgar Winter Group, not Johnny Winter. It was on the album "They Only Come Out at Night" as was another hit, "Free Ride".

 

Also misnamed as a Johnny Winter hit, was Rock-n-Roll Hootchie Koo. That was by Rick Derringer.

 

 

Anything off of "Dark Side of the Moon" by Pink Floyd is classic.

 

 

And for you Michiganders, how can you not mention Grank Funk Railroad or Bob Seger? :huh:

And now that I think about it... noone from Chicago mentioned Styx!

 

By the way... Not a "rocker" but Lady by Styx is one of my all time favorites.

Anyone mention Styx...??

 

 

Are Motley Crue and Poison "classics" yet.. . :lol:

Baa haa haa Yas!! You beat me by a few hours. Do you ever sleep..? :P

I can't believe it took to page 4 for someone to say the greatest band of all time

 

The Beatles!

 

I would amend it to any Beatles song from the Rubber Soul album on to the end.

Harley Davidson has a great cd of road songs, as I recall some of cuts are

 

Magic carpet ride

Get your motor running

etc.

 

I'm partial to Feelin' Alright by Joe Cocker

A few Who cuts are always tasty

Pink Floyd! How the hell did I forget him?

 

Just another brick in the wall is great.

 

Also...did anyone mention Alice Cooper? I think HSC, but I can't remember. That school's out song is a must after school has been dismissed for the last time and summer vacation starts.

Manfred Mann-Blinded by the light

NICE

OK, this is for a car ride, right?

 

Here is a solid 12-song classic rock CD of driving tunes:

 

1) Hot For Teacher, Van Halen(20 years ago counts as classic IMHO)

2) Summertime Blues, Blue Cheer

3) Mississippi Queen, Mountain

4) Keep Playin' that Rock and Roll, White Trash

5) Radar Love, Golden Earring(Even the 1989 White Lion cover version isn't bad)

6) Crossroads, Cream

7) Can't Turn You Loose, Otis Redding(Often recognized as "The Blues Brothers Theme")

8) More Than A Feeling, Boston

9) Rip This Joint, Rolling Stones

10) 20th Century Boy, T. Rex

11) Badlands, Bruce Springsteen & E Street Band

12) No Feelings, Sex Pistols

Hey BEGOOD....also forgot to mention ZZ Top and the Allman brothers.

 

And there is a song by the name of "I like to rock." The singer is not coming to mind, but it is a pretty good song.

NICE

this a Springsteen song
