    Classic rock

    Before I get flamed, this isn't another "where's the best place to find classic rock" thread.

    I'm looking to burn a cd for my dad, as a gift. I listen to some classic rock, but dont really know any songs by name, so it would be very hard for me to get a full cd.

    Basicly I'm wondering if you guys could help me find some hit songs mainly from the 60's. I can't really think of any examples at the moment, but classic or "oldies' rock is what I"m looking for.

    Just googling I found this . Some of them are great.

    Actually the majority are good, just skip the guys you have probably never heard of like Paul Mauriat for example.

    The term classic rock encompasses a few rock sub-genres, the biggest of these being progressive rock, which was mainly a 70s phenomenon. Choose some from the list Cheapprick posted, but you'll definitely want most to be from the 1970s. Here's another list to choose from; these are scattered years but most of them could squeeze into classic rock classification. From the following list, omit as choices U2, The Cure, Dire Straits, Paul McCartney, Fleetwood Mac, The Smiths, Violent Femmes, Green Day...

    http://dobeson.org/songlists.php <-- click on VIEW for "Paul's Top 100 Songs of All Time"

    I know there are a few classic rock buffs here... you probably want their opinion before you make a final decision.

    EDIT: classic rock means different things to different people, so you may also just want to use a classic rock station's playlist as your foundation for this compilation. Here's one:

    Sorry, that wasn't very clear. At all, lol.

    The beatles, stepenwolf, "truckin songs", some led zeppelin, the bee gees, a pretty wide range really. I'll check out some of those links later today.

    Yeah, I'm done with the avatar thing, two of them people were disturbed by...and I think JLG is the only one that really fits me anyway.

    Kinks - You Really Got Me
    Jimmy Hendrix - All Along the WatchTower
    Creedence Clear Water - Fortunate One
    Anaimals - House of the Rising Sun
    Cream - Sunshine of Your Love

    Bob Dylan - Like A Rolling Stone
    The Doors - Light My Fire
    Simon and Garfunkle - Sounds of Silence
    Steppenwolf - The Pusher
    The Byrds - Mr. Tambourine Man
    Dancing in the Streets - Martha and the Vandellas
