I've been trying to fill the void in my life that is the lack of great music. Unfortunately I was raised listening to the "hits" station and have only had little excerpts of good music. I know that classic rock (led zep, billy joel, styx, the police, rolling stones) has always sounded fucking amazing even when I'm sober. Help me build my library.. Currently I have (I pick the songs I like, I don't keep entire albums) Asia Bad Company Billy Joel Black Sabbath Bob Marley Boston CCR ELO Elton John Fleetwood Mac Foghat Grand Funk Railroad Johnny Cash Led Zeppelin Lynryd Skynrd Motley Crue Phil Collins Pink Floyd Ram Jam Steely Dan Steppenwolf Steve Miller Band Steve Winwood Sting Styx The Animals The Clash The Doobie Brothers The Eagles The Police The Rolling Stones Queen The Who Thin Lizzy Whitesnake Yes I realize it is slightly random, I have no prerequisites, I just like good music. Looking for more music!
Ummmm off the top of my head Lou Reed and Velvet Underground for sure Sweet Jane, Heroin, Walk on the wildside, Perfect day. Beatles (Lennon, McCartney and Wings, George Harrison even a little Ringo) Heart Genesis Jimi Hendrix Grateful Dead Guess Who Alman Bros Eric Clapton Cream Doors Rainbow Ac/DC Iggy Pop Yardbirds Rush Crosby Stills Nash and Young Neil Young Van Halen Thats a few. Its late so I may pop in tomorrow with more.
No prob man happy to aid you in your quest for actual music. The list you have are all on my phone. Just love throwing on the headphones and baking out to music created by actual musicians not computers. Thing about Classic rock is it is an ever changing genre because as time goes by what is new becomes old. There isn't much that has come out in the past 5-10 yrs that will ever be consider "classic" One thing to try tho is to listen to many of these bands albums Front to back as that is how they were intended back then. For the most part they didn't hold back songs to sell their next album. Download some "discography" torrents of these bands, keep all the tunes so you'll always be covered. On the other hand greatest hits compilations would give you the staples of the bands to at least introduce you. Other bands to look into: David Bowie / Mott the Hoople Rod Stewart / The Faces Iron Butterfly (throw on InnaGaddaDavida and just listen) Jethro Tull Janis Joplin Deep Purple Joe Cocker Kansas Meatloaf (Bat out of Hell front to back) Marshall Tucker Band Kansas Simon and Garfunkel Stevie Wonder Travelling Wilbury's Motorhead Ted Nugent Humble Pie Springsteen Arlo Guthrie Supertramp Blue Oyster Cult Peter Frampton Aerosmith Max Webster America Talking Heads Derek and the Dominos Santana Dire Straits Van Morrison OZZY Scorpions Iron Maiden Judas Priest DIO KISS (70's) Metallica Def Leppard Nirvana (especially live) Pearl Jam Soundgarden Oasis Damn I could go on and on but I gotta stop for now. Go after these bands and you will be well on your way to some awesome baked out listening (don't just hear it Listen to it). Peace Man
Can't believe I forgot Dylan many others too but Dylan just came up on random play haha. geez now Journey (must be getting old forgetting many)
38 Special The Eagles Tom Petty Eric Clapton The Who George Thorogood Golden Earring John Mellencamp Lou Reed/Velvet Underground Otis Redding Sixto Rodriguez Stray Cats The Kinks yeah, buddy.
I know you said you pick songs and don't keep full albums but you should most definitely get high as fuck and listen to both Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon album as well as The Wall, front to back. In fact, here.
