Hi GC, I need some help to collaborate some of the greatest Classic Rock songs into one single playlist. Any material that you could think of from the 60s or 70s to light up to would do just fine. Leppelin, Floyd, The Who etc. etc. (Or any other bands that you can think of, these are just some suggestions). I'm looking for some good Southern Rock songs/bands also. If you're having trouble with the second part think about if it would fit in with the Joe Dirt Soundtrack (James Gang, Steve Miller Band... you get the picture). Old stoners, new stoners who like to listen to old stoner music, or anyone inbetween... I ask you to use your vast experience in music of the toking variety to help me create an epic playlist THAT WILL SHAKE THE VERY FOUNDATIONS OF MY SPEAKERS!

And yes I know that most of those bands werent from the 60s-70s. I was just simply listing the kind of stuff that comes on Classic Rock radio now a days.

The first time I got high and drove, I had my iPod on shuffle in the car but I was too busy talking to my friends to pay attention to the songs. The second "Stairway to Heaven" came on, none of us said a single word until the song was over. Then my friend says "Dude, that was trippy"
