If you're into some slight alternatives to the standard "classic" rock, I would check out The Cars, especially those songs where Benjamin Orr is the lead singer, like "Bye Bye Love" and so on.AliasMan02 said:1970s is what I'm really after.Wade Winston Wilson said:
How old will define "classic" because I've heard songs from the 90s on "classic" stations
Some ideas for the mainstream stuff:
Styx - Renegade
REO Speedwagon - Keep on Loving You
Journey - Don't Stop Believin (duh, greatest ever)
Foreigner - Juke Box Hero
Lynard Skynard - Ballad of Curtis Lowe
America - Ventura Highway
Asia - Heat of the Moment
Heart - Barracuda (I love this one but not sure it fits)
Kansas - Carry on my Wayward Son
Marshall Tucker Band - Can't You See

You have more than a feeling at both 6 and 21, it's a good song but don't know if I would have it on there twice
Numa Numa? I thought the thread was about "Classic Rock?"MonkeyKnifeFighter said:My list was organized as single-letter alphabetical representation and I couldn't think of anything for "O", so I threw in the source music for the Numa Numa guy from the infancy of YouTube. I didn't expect anyone to look up any of the junk they were unfamiliar with.Brian Earl Spilner said:Quote:

I was born in 1970 and didn't really start listening to music actively until about 1980 or so. Certainly I know about ABBA and some of the Outlaw Country movement from the 70s. When I was in college, there was a massive resurgence of the British Invasion so I got worn out on The Who. Also, a lot of stuff like Rolling Stones - Paint It Black. The kind of stuff you'd find on Rock 101 KLOL. And of course there was The Doors movie starring Val Kilmer.snowaggie said:
I whole-heartedly agree with everything on here. Slightly off-topic: Have been listening to this music for 40 years. Most of these songs have passed through my brain hundreds of times. Does anyone else have a hard time getting much enjoyment from these songs anymore? I mean this in a brain/music sense, not from the obvious nostalgia value, or from the value inherent in introducing this music to those who haven't yet experienced it. I've always reserved 25% of my music-listening efforts to completely new music so that you can occasionally get that "new music brain tickle" when you discover something good.

After Puerto Rico and Alaska, I primarily grew up in Saudi Arabia. Living in KSA gave me the opportuity to get a lot of British music. They played a lot of British New Wave on Radio Bahrain which if you held the antenna just right, you could drag in on a good night. You could also get some stuff from The BBC on short wave.
But... getting this music straight from the UK without going via Hollywood meant that I got a few releases that never made it to the US. Like early Whitesnake.
Have a listen to this original UK version of "Here I Go Again"
And then the glammed out US - Tawny Kitaen Jaguar version

I agree completely. The true early whitesnake is deep purple.
Speaking of Deep Purple the Perfect Strangers era is amazing imo.
