Essential Classic Rock Songs.. HELP!
 

Ok so I'm not that big into classic rock from the 60's and 70's but I'm trying to compile a CD of some of the best/essential rock songs from that decade. Examples like Skynard's "Freebird" or Zep's "Stairway to Heaven" ... help me out here... list on...

Styx- the grand illusion
the who- teenage wasteland
grateful dead- touch of grey
anything by the doors
the complete works of Hendrix

CREAM - sunshine of your love
white room
BOSTON - more than a feeling

KANSAS - carry on wayward son
dust in the wind
EDGAR WINTER GROUP - frankenstein
FOGHAT - slow ride
STYX - come sail away
crystal ball
CROSBY, STILLS, NASH & YOUNG - ohio
NORMAN GREENBAUM - spirit in the sky
CHEAP TRICK - surrender
STEVE MILLER BAND - fly like an eagle
serenade (a personal favorite of mine)
take the money and run
rock'n me
LEDBETTER - black betty
HEART - magic man
THE GUESS WHO - american woman
ELECTRIC LIGHT ORCHESTRA - don't bring me down

I would but I've gotta crash - work :(

I'm not sure about the spelling on this one, MANFORD MANS EARTH BAND - blinded by the light.
It was the main song on the "BLOW" soundtrack and I've loved it since I was a child. Yes the 70's:)
