what would it include?

I'm currently buying songs from iTunes to make a birthday CD for my little sister's 16th. She just discovered classic rock, and listens to my Zeppelin and Hendrix albums day and night.

So far, I've picked Deep Purple's "Hush," Zepp's "Kashmir" and Some obligatory Scorpions.

What else do I give to a budding guitar genius who missed the 70s? (And most of the 80s and 90s for that matter)

Pressure (then you get David Bowie TOO!!), or One Vision (is that's what it's called?) are favorites of mine.

David Bowie's China Girl is also a classic.

FG
 
Posted by Erik Slaine (Member # 5583) on :
 
Some excellent examples have already been provided, however....

For up and coming guitar heroines enamoured with the guitar heroes of the Seventies:

Include some Sabbath, UFO, Blue Oyster Cult, Rainbow, Uriah Heep, Montrose (esp. "Rock Candy"). Underrated in that era (hugley): Lou Reed.

Now if we are talking about things beyond that, I'd say anthing progressive in the era, such as Yes, Rush, Jethro Tull, or FM.

If it were for myself, all of the above, with generous lashings of Bowie, Television, Patti Smith, and Talking Heads.

Carry on....
 
Posted by Dagonee (Member # 5818) on :
 
Oh, yeah, gotta have "Don't Fear the Reaper" on there.
 
Posted by punwit (Member # 6388) on :
 
You've got some great ones already listed so I'll just chip in with a few that I think you might have overlooked.

You can't find a better guitar solo than the one on Dire Straits Sultans of Swing

Bob Seger has three that I would choose from: Turn the Page, Mainstreet, and Night Moves.

Pink Floyd should be represented at least once. I'd suggest Time, Money, or Comfortably Numb.

Ted Nugent also has a couple, Cat Scratch Fever is good but my two favorites would be Stranglehold and Great White Buffalo.

I also didn't see Styx mentioned at all and they were huge in the 70's. I'd recommend Crystal Ball, Lorelei or Renegade.

I might be able to come up with more but for now I'm tapped out.
 
Posted by closeyourmind (Member # 5916) on :
 
Aerosmith should definitely be on the CD, but the suggestions so far wouldn't classify as classic rock. Cryin', Janie's Got a Gun, and Sweet Emotion all came out in the 90's. I would suggest either Dream On or Mama Kin.

Other suggestions:

David Bowie - Space Oddity
Rush - Tom Sawyer (any Rush would do)
Yes - Fragile (this must be on the CD [Smile] )
 
Posted by punwit (Member # 6388) on :
 
I gotta second Dagonee's assertion that Don't Fear The Reaper is an all time classic.
 
Posted by solo (Member # 3148) on :
 
Definitely add Don't Fear The Reaper.

As an aside, what do you all think should qualify as Classic Rock. To me, it has to be pre-80s to really qualify.
 
Posted by Irami Osei-Frimpong (Member # 2229) on :
 
The Doobie Brothers sang "Black Water."

The if you are talking about an album of the era. Boston.

I gotta say that I'm relatively certain that Sweet Emotion was released in the 70's. To be precise it was in 1975 on the Toys in the Attic album.
 
Posted by Bob the Lawyer (Member # 3278) on :
 
Your Deep Purple song isn't Smoke on the Water? Does Sabbath's Paranoid make the cut? What about Twisted Sister [Razz] Alice Cooper?
 
Posted by Erik Slaine (Member # 5583) on :
 
Alice definately.

Twisted Sister was just a bunch of posers. [Razz]
 
Posted by Rakeesh (Member # 2001) on :
 
Since pretty much everything I'd include has been mentioned (and I agree, Beatles and Pink Floyd mentione WAY too late, but Steppenwolf mentioned pleasingly early), I'd add "American Woman". Just a personal favorite, and it's short, too, so it won't take up as much room.

A very cool gift, too, Annie [Smile]
 
Posted by Mean Old Frisco (Member # 6666) on :
 
I think Floyd and the Beatles were mentioned late because they're no-brainers.

I don't even think a CD burner will create a compilation classic rock CD without at least one of each. You just get an error:

quote:
List=Suck--Floyd not found. Please locate file and retry.

 
Posted by Annie (Member # 295) on :
 
These are great suggestions, everyone [Smile]

I'm trying not to overlap with a mixed album of mine that she listens to all the time, and it's got "China Girl," "Pressure," "Bohemian Rhapsody," "More Than a Feeling," and "Smoke on the Water."

The Styx is a great idea - I'd totally forgotten she's going to see them in a couple weeks and I should prep her for it. [Smile] There's nothing better than going to a concert you can sing along with. Maybe I'll get her a Styx album on its own as a separate gift.

As far as definitions of "classic," I'm trying not to be too strict. She's into the 70s stuff, but she's also enamored of more recent songs like "Free Fallin'" and Van Halen's "Right Now."

And you're right... I could easily make a whole series CDs of this stuff. [Smile]

Oh - one more question - I can't find Fleetwood Mac's "Edge of Seventeen" on iTunes... is that the right title? Sometimes they'll sell everything except the one song you want. That happened to me with Bruce Springsteen's "Secret Garden" too [Grumble] (that wasn't for this album)
 
Posted by closeyourmind (Member # 5916) on :
 
My bad. I knew I should have double checked Sweet Emotion. And it turns out that Janie's Got a Gun was on Pump which came out in 1989. But Cryin'...90's all the way [Smile] . Show's how much I know. But I still say that Dream On or Mama Kin should represent.
 
Posted by ludosti (Member # 1772) on :
 
I agree, Deam On should have to be on the album.
 
Posted by Mean Old Frisco (Member # 6666) on :
 
"Edge of Seventeen" is just Stevie Nicks, not Fleetwood Mac.
 
Posted by punwit (Member # 6388) on :
 
Edge of Seventeen was a Stevie Nicks solo effort I believe.

Edit to add, Jinx, you owe me a coke Frisco.

Posted by Annie (Member # 295) on :
 
I'm still trying to find just the right Floyd song. I'm pretty picky on those. I was thinking "Money," but it kind of gets annoying after repeated listenings. Should I just go with "The Wall?" Or even better - what's the title of the one that says "tongue-tied and twisted?" That one's great.

And, um, not to shake up the groove but I'm a bit biased in that... um *whispers* I hate the Beatles.

Maybe Aerosmith's cover of "Come Together" will suffice. [Smile]
 
Posted by Dagonee (Member # 5818) on :
 
Tongue tied and twisted is from Learning to Fly, which is way too late to use.

Wish You Were Here is my favorite, especially for a guitar afficianado.

Dagonee
 
Posted by punwit (Member # 6388) on :
 
If you haven't listened lately to Pink Floyd's Time I would highly recommend it. The cacophony of clock bells in the intro is awesome.
 
Posted by Rakeesh (Member # 2001) on :
 
"Learning to Fly", I believe. One of my all-time favorites, too.
 
Posted by Mean Old Frisco (Member # 6666) on :
 
Money is my least favorite song on the album. Go with "Learning To Fly" (tongue-tied...) from A Momentary Lapse Of Reason, "Fearless" from Meddle, "Mother" from The Wall, or "Wish You Were Here", from Wish You Were Here (because SOYCD is too long).

There's no song called "The Wall".

And if you like all this and don't like the Beatles,

A: We can't talk. Ever.
B: You haven't given them a fair shot.
 
Posted by Mean Old Frisco (Member # 6666) on :
 
And yes, "Learning To Fly" came out in 1987. Yet it's still "classic".
 
Posted by solo (Member # 3148) on :
 
Astronomy Domine or Wish You Were Here are my Floyd choices.

I would definitely go with Sweet Emotion for an Aerosmith tune.
 
Posted by solo (Member # 3148) on :
 
Oh and for Fleetwood Mac, I really like Landslide but that may be a bit too mellow.
 
Posted by Annie (Member # 295) on :
 
Man, I'm rusty. I thought the "we don't need no education" song was called "The Wall."

I've tried liking the Beatles, I really have. "Hey Jude" anc "Come Together" ain't bad, but, musically, I can't help but finding them to be corny. Apologies.

I thought I was clicking on page 2 of Belles' thread, and thought I had stumbled into one of the most heartless derailments in Hatrack history.

So glad I was wrong. [Smile]

Posted by Suneun (Member # 3247) on :
 
I second Van Morrison (and vote for Moondance. I'm sure she's heard Brown Eyed Girl, but maybe not Moondance).

My favorite Led Zepp songs are Dye'r Maker, Dazed and Confused, and You Shook Me (not the AC/DC song).

did someone mention Guns N Roses? Probably. I don't remember. Paradise City is a classic.

for Pink Floyd, it's hard. Maybe Comfortably Numb? The problem is that their early stuff go so well as complete albums (Wall, Dark Side, Wish You Were Here).
 
Posted by Mabus (Member # 6320) on :
 
Has anyone mentioned "Hysteria" yet? I haven't read through the whole thread, mostly because I only recognize about one song in ten.

Mean Old Frisco - Neil Young doesn't suck. Sorry.

As for the rest of this thread, this is by no means an exhaustive list of song's I'd put in a collection, just some things that I thought of while reading everyone else's suggestions.

Eagles' "Desperado"
The Band "Stage Fright", "Up On Cripple Creek"
Otis Redding "Dock of the Bay"
The Who "Behind Blue Eyes"
Neil Young "The Needle and the Damage Done" or "Old Man"
Elton John "Tiny Dancer", "Burn Down The Mission", or "Don't Let The Sun Go Down On Me"
The Doors "Unknown Soldier", "The Spy", "Roadhouse Blues", or "Waiting for the Sun"
Gordon Lightfoot "Don Quixote", "If You Could Read My Mind", or "Cherokee Bend"
Janis Joplin "Summertime", or "Mercedes Benz"

About the Beatles/Age thing, I think that some people just have their music taste corrupted before giving the Beatles a fair chance.

Luckily, I started liking the Beatle's earlier stuff when I was 9 (I'm only 15 now), and slowly worked my way up. Now it's all on my playlist.
