The Ultimate Classic Rock Play List

If you could be a DJ for just one hour on a major classic rock radio station, what 10 songs would you play? Now is your chance to create your ultimate classic rock play list! Simply add a comment to this with the 10 classic rock songs in your playlist.

And who knows... maybe a classic rock station will be kind enough to let you play your classic rock playlist live on air for everyone to hear (a subtle hint to the classic rock station's around the world...)

Here is my playlist... I went for some classics plus a few underplayed great songs:

1: The Chain - Fleetwood Mac

2: Over the Hills and Far Away - Led Zeppelin

3: Dreams - The Allman Brothers

4: Tomorrow Never Knows - The Beatles

5: L.A. Woman - The Doors

6: Piece of My Heart - Janis Joplin

7: Waterfall (May This Be Love) - Jimi Hendrix

8: My Generation - The Who

9: Bell Bottom Blues - Eric Clapton (Derek & The Dominoes)

10: You Can't Always Get What You Want - The Rolling Stones

Here is this playlist on YouTube that I created - click the left and right arrows to go through the songs:

Your ZZ Top choice reminds of another one of their songs called "Mexican Blackbird" The album that made me a fan was "Fandango". The next one I bought was "Eliminator". Loved the videos they made to accompany "Gimme all your lovin", "Legs" and "Sharp Dressed Man"
