A little obscure to be “Classic Rock” but if you were into roots or rockabilly back then you may remember [Pretty Little Lights Of Town](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j-dstf01mwM) by The Leroi Brothers. ---

> [@Dr.Girlfriend](#): > > Does Night Ranger’s “Sister Christian” count as classic rock? Cuz that gets cranked up whenever it comes on, especially when I’m in the car. Most of the rest of mine have already been mentioned. Layla, Separate Ways, Born to Run… I can only listen to Sister Christian if there are firecrackers involved. > [@salinqmind](#): > > Not one single thing wrong with that, we were there when there was actual great music. There’s “actual great music” now. Maybe even more than the sixties. ---
