New riders of the purple sage - "Panama Red" Surprised nobody mentioned it. Ya know you're getting old when what you call rock becomes classic. I'm just gettin there myself haha!
Also check out: Mountain Janis Joplin Canned Heat War Eric Burton Cream Electric Light Orchestra Traffic - I reccomend "low spark of high heel boys" Buffalo Springfield Yardbirds The Who It's not classic rock, considered jazz actually, but check out Louie Armstrong AKA Satchmo. I used to have a "job" singin' rock, blues, and jazz and "what a wonderful world" still remains the most powerful song i've ever felt even though i've performed it countless times. Peace
hatebreeder and sidious said the ones i was going to mention (animals and jethro tull) so i'll have to come up with others to look like i have some musical knowledge of my own lol... Emerson Lake & Palmer King Crimson (these two ^ might be a little.... "orchestral"?? for what you're looking for) Van Morrison The Who Turtles Mamas & Papas Love Smashing Pumpkins Camel The Moody Blues Can hey, hatebreeder... r u a big tull fan? Isnt Thick as a Brick just the ultimate concept album of all time (yes, even better than Pink Floyds Dark Side of the moon)!!?
Anything to do with Eric Clapton, Rodriguez, or for a bit less mainstream you could maybe try some Yes or Frank Zappa. Motorhead depending how heavy you'd like to go, or Kansas if your all mellow....
Just gotta throw Warren Zevon out there b/c he hasn't been mentioned yet. There are a lot of good bands mentioned in this thread. Sam the Sham is awesome, too. Little Red Riding Hood is a good song.
