Best classic rock and roll songs?

[ElementK1]

I'm a classic rock junkie as you can probably tell. What are the best songs in this genre? I have all the good zeppelin songs, but what about the other 2 bands I listed? Anything else?

Thanks!

Time - Pink Floyd (Just can't do a Classic Rock thread without giving them credit.)

Not THAT kind of classic rock, but hard rock from the late 60s-70s.

Is there ANY band truly like Led Zeppelin?

 

[Ornery]

You've got Guns n' Roses on your list, but you're going to diss CCR? Guns n' Roses? I think I'm going to puke!

Basically ALL of Led Zeppelin's songs are good.
I think it is easier to list the ones that are not good.

Since I will go with what you orignally asked, Appetite for Destruction and the Use Your Illusions series are what you want from GnR.

one of my favorite albums is Dreamboat Annie

LOL: Bad Zeppelin Song list
uh...... a couple songs on Coda?

 

[ElementK1]

I don't like GnR to the point of "OmFg tEH GunS ahnD ROSES!"

I thought welcome to the Jungle and Sweet Child of Mine were good.

There's a lot more Gn'R that you'd like if you like Welcome to The Jungle and Sweet Child O' Mine. As someone said, the best place to start with Gn'R is Appetite For Destruction. After that, check out both Use Your Illusion discs. Anything AC/DC is good. A lot of their stuff sounds the same to me, but I love it all so I don't care. Good places to start with AC/DC are Back In Black (the album and the song), Hells Bells, Highway To Hell, and You Shook Me All Night Long.

As for other stuff, one of my personal favorites that might fit your requirements is Lynyrd Skynyrd. I've only heard a couple of his songs, but you might also like Jonny Lang. Tom Petty might be another one to check out. Eric Clapton would be another good one. You might like Jeff Beck, also. They're not classic rock so much, but the style is similar, so you might like Steve Ray Vaughn and Kenny Wayne Shepherd. Some might laugh at this next suggestion, but you might also like Kid Rock's self-titled album that came out last year. He's gotten away from the rap-rock style of his previous work and moved more to the southern rock style. Sort of like Skynyrd but heavier. You might like ZZ Top, also.

I'm sure I could come up with more, but that's just looking through my Winamp playlist on my laptop. I've only got a quarter of my music on my laptop but that's probably a decent sampling and you'd probably like some of it.

Edit: Since there's a lot in there, PM me if you want specific titles or my recommendations. I'll boot up the desktop and tell you.

I felt he went waaay too country on his latest album. He oughta stick to what he's good at.

Ya, I figured there'd be some people turned off by it. Personally, I think he's a lot better at the country-influenced rock than he is at anything else. I've enjoyed a few of his previous songs but I can honestly say that I like all the songs on his last album.
