Hey guys, I’m burning a comp CD of classic rock songs (60s, 70s) but I don’t have enough to fill the 80 min CD even half. The thing is, I’ve got the majority of what you would called the real classics of classic rock, I need some more suggestions for songs! Stuff I’m into (although I am flexible): Pink Floyd (got the lot) Led Zep (99% of songs I’ll have) Hendrix (99% of songs I’ll have) Rolling Stones (Have the more well-known songs) The Doors (Have the more well-know songs) I also have sporadic classics, stuff like Imagine, Dream on, American pie and the like. Dopers, my CD is in your hands. ---

[Here](http://www.rockhall.com/exhibitions/permanent.asp?id=658) is a list from the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame of “500 songs that shaped rock and roll.” Not all of them are classic rock, of course. There’s some gospel on there, some rap and some recent stuff. ---

I’m a monstrous Floyd fan, and also happen to love Roger Waters solo stuff. Well I love Gilmour’s solo work too but Roger really did some amazing stuff. I sometimes think I’m the only one that feels that way… a lot of grudges seem to be held against the guy 😉 At any rate, I just downloaded Perfect Sense (Parts 1 and 2, Live) by him. Great stuff. Not recommended for the poster (can’t remember ATM who it was) that complained about gospel backup singers in rock music. I also highly recommend: Steely Dan Dire Straits Alan Parsons Project Emerson Lake & Palmer King Crimson Moody Blues OK I guess that’s more of a prog rock list than “classic”, per se, but they tend to get lumped together.
