And you scoff at me.
Originally posted by eamon oYeah, but it's still one of those songs you just have to love. Kashmir is okay, Black Dog is great. I also like The Ocean.
I love it, but stairway is the cheesiest Zeppelin song.
I'd suggest Kashmir or Black Dog instead.
Hendrix: Electric Ladyland, Voodoo Chile, Crosstown Traffic
Cream: White Room
David Bowie: Space Oddessey
The Who: My Generation, Who's Next
To name but a few................

That's probably one of my least favorite Doors' songs. If I had to choose something by The Doors, I'd probably pick "Not to Touch the Earth" or "Moonlight Drive".

I don't consider Tom Waits to be classic rock because they don't play him on those crappy radio stations. Plus, his newer albums are arguably just as good as his first ones - a rarity among aging "rock stars".
Originally posted by IronstarWhy does everyone blabber on about Stairway to Heaven? Battle for Evermore is far superior and has Sandy on vocals.
How many of you like classic rock? If so, list your favorite classic rock band along with your favorite classic rock song. I'll start us off.
Band: Pink Floyd
Song: Stairway to heaven-Led Zeppelin

How about some less well known bands?
1) High Tide
2) Andwella's Dream
3) Trees

Pearl Jam - Rockin' in the Free World (live)
Originally posted by GalaxyShieldI'm talking about Pearl Jam live (Eddie Vedder on vocals) sans Neil Young. I think this version is better than the original although the original is also excellent.

I'm not sure what my favorite classic rock music is. I'm just starting to head backwards in time for the most part. So I'll see what I like best in the future.
Originally posted by IronstarIf you like Fairport Covention, then you'll like Trees. Check out their LP, On The Shore. The guitar playing is superb, especially on Streets of Derry and sally Free and Easy.
Sorry..."Stairway to Heaven" is a little too common, but still a great song.
I have heard of High Tide, but unfortunately, they only lasted a year, or somewhere around there. I can't say I've heard of the other two. Can you name some songs by them?
"The Battle of Evermore" was indeed an incredible song. Sandy Denny was quite the vocalist.

Originally posted by dielon444Good choices. "Shine on You Crazy Diamond" is unbelievably long, though, about 26 minutes, but still an exceptional song. "Comfortably Numb" is a great one, too. I personally like "Another Brick in the Wall", "Money", "Time", and "The Great Gig in the Sky".
