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................
Hendrix, great. Cream was good; I liked Sunshine of Your Love. The Who is wonderful. You have great tastes.
Anybody here a fan of the Doobie Brothers?

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".
Lou Reed - There is No Time/Venus in Furs/Heroin
Tom Waits - Big in Japan/Just the Right Bullets/Hang Down your Head/Goin' out West/I Don't Wanna Grow Up/Jockey Full of Bourbon/et al.
Originally posted by darvlayHave you heard Orphans: Brawlers, Bawlers and Bastards? A bit dark for me after a couple of tries... must revisit.
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

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.

Pearl Jam - Rockin' in the Free World (live)
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 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.

Andwella's Dream were an interesting UK Pop-Rock-Psychedelic band who made one LP called Love and Poetry. Actually, not the best band in the world. I was just showing off my knowledge!
I still maintain Battle for Evermore is much, much better than Stairway to Heaven and yet it is hardly ever mentioned. Led Zep fans out there, why do you forget this materpiece?

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".
