I should have added that all Zepplin songs worth downloading were downloaded. I dislike ACDC... strongly. Oh and i've browed like 10 top 50's on the net, two observations: 1) They all have the same top 50, just in different orders 2) Stairway to Heaven is number one in 90% of them ------------- <just say no to unnecessarily sexualized sigs> |

I bought the SNL Best of Will Ferrell DVD's yesterday-I've probably watched that clip ten times with my friends. There are a ton of great classic rock songs, I haven't bothered reading anyone else's lists, but for me- Hotel California, Lying Eyes, Tequila Sunrise, or anything else by the Eagles As you said...any Zeppelin Heard it through the Grapevine, Who'll Stop the Rain, Run through the Jungle, Bad Moon Rising, Green River, Someday Never Comes, Around the Bend, Fortunate Son-all by Creedence Clearwater Revival Sunshine of Your Love-Cream Smoke on the Water-Deep Purple Purple Haze, Little Wing, Voodoo Chile, Machine Gun, Hey Joe, Catfish Blues, Come On-Jimi Hendrix The End, Riders on the Storm-The Doors Comfortably Numb, Another Brick in the Wall, Have a Cigar-Pink Floyd Cocaine-Eric Clapton Midnight Rider-Allman Brothers Band Tuesday's Gone, Free Bird (duh)-Lynyrd Skynyrd Hot For Teacher-Van Halen Dreams-Fleetwood Mac Imagine-John Lennon Sound of Silence-Simon and Garfunkle Whiter Shade of Pale-Percy Sledge Like a Rolling Stone-Bob Dylan Honky Tonk Women, Satisfaction, Under my Thumb-Rolling Stones I could go on all day

I do't really know, I guess that I find ACDC to be overrated for what they're worth. That's just my opinion anyways. ------------- <just say no to unnecessarily sexualized sigs> |

The terrible annoying voice of their singer (both of them, actually), and the repetitive, juvenile lyrics... |

I'm going to sound like a jerk, but... ACDC is a very overrated band. I read an interview once where the lead singer admitted that all of their albums sound the same. ACDC is definitely not a band that produces the best music ever. Stairway to heaven is also overrated. It doesn't make any sense. Cool riffs, but also an over-hyped song. I think most Floyd is cool... I would stay away from The Wall; it's basically Roger Waters complaining about his horrific (/sarcasm) life. Zeppelin has some good beats, along with Dylan. Green Onions - Booker T and the McGees and Boston songs. Stay away from Styx, Rush, Journey, Phil Collins. -------------

Wow someone finally said Judas Priest. Thou Priest is more 80's not Classic. I think of all of those as 70's 60's rock.
Now Classic would be some Elvis, Little Richard, Richie Valencia, Buddy Holly, and anything from the 50's. -------------

ACDC's songs are great. Also Lynrd Skynrd - Sweet home alabama is one of the best songs you'll ever listen too. |

Thanks to all who posted Does anyone know if on rush's tour this year, they are playing any of their old songs? They are coming toronto but tickets are like $130 and that's definately not worth it if they are only playing their new cd. ------------- <just say no to unnecessarily sexualized sigs> |

Rolling Stones: Sympathy for the Devil, Paint it Black, Satisfaction
Skynard: Free Bird Otis Redding: Sitting on the Dock of the Bay (not really rock I guess, but a good song nonetheless) Seger: Turn the Page Do you consider popular music from the 80's "classic" or does it need to be older than that? -------------

How old are you clark? You're talking like you were my age then or something. And 20 years is enough for that stuff to be classic, ac/dc was classic in the 90's. |
