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)

Don't forget CCR, Eric Clapton, Fleetwood Mac, Dylan, David Bowie, Queen, Skynyrd, The Eagles, The Who, Rush, Bob Seger, Allman Brothers, and the Dead.
[edit: and Boston and Tom Petty]

Journey- Wheel in the Sky Heart- Barracuda Queen- Queen Killer Zeppelin - Immigrant Song Eagles - numerous choices, but I have a thing for Hotel California. Billy Joel - um... lets go with Captain Jack Elton John - Croc. Rock Arrowsmith - forgot the title, but goes "Sing with me, sing for the years.." - Thinking its Dream On. The Who - numerous good choices Kansas- Dust in the Wind/Carry On, O Wayward Son David Bowie- Space Oddity
Just my preferences.
Edit- see what happens when you take too long to post?
Come On Eileen is another song that always gets me singing.
Journey - Separate Ways Boston - More Than A Feeling David Bowie - Ziggy Stardust CCR - Proud Mary Pink Floyd - anything, really. I'd put on Fearless Led Zeppelin - When The Levee Breaks
I like Dag's suggestions of The Weight and Funky Dixieland.

Sorry, Dag. I meant Black Water, but my mind's on Funky Dixieland. At least I stayed with the same band. Posts: 270 | Registered: Jul 2004

I like Journey, but is there another band with as great a dropoff between the quality of their greatest hits album and the rest of their songs?

glad to see Pink Floyd and the Beatles were added to this list. A little late for my liking though!
