Most people consider "classic rock" to be stuff from the late 60's to the early/mid 70's. If that is your criteria here are a few that I think should be in your collection.


Jimi Hendrix Experience Electric Ladyland, Band Of Gypsies

And so many more....these would give you a taste of what classic rock is/was all about.

Band of Gypsies - Machine Gun - a real killa cut!

I just got Motley Crue's Greatest Hits (The one released this week). They are considered Classic Rock now.

A lot of the band's mentioned in this thread would be considered antique's if they were cars. I still love most of them though.

Of my 600+ CD's, which includes tons of 60's & 70's rock, I have to say that Bostons first album just continues to stand the test of time better than any other. I first owned this on 8-track, then the vinyl, later on cassette, and then CD. I must have listened to it thousands of times; it never gets old.

That album is a drug.I was first addicted in 77 and still need a fix now and then.Piece of Mind is one of my top 3 fave songs of all time.

Moxy - Moxy (Sail On, Sail Away)

An obscure but great little band from Toronto from the late 70's.

I vaguely remember Moxy.

I hate classic rock radio stations.

Carry on

Moxy - that brings me back. Not a consistent band but they had a lot of good rockers.

Same for Goddo.

"Tough Times/C* On" - remember those two songs from the "Who Cares" album? Played together they were especially good.

Nope blanking on those, An Act of Goddo was the only LP I owned .

Train and Moonrider are a couple of nice tracks from Moxy.
