Classic Rock is where my love of rock in all its forms comes from. I've been thinking of a list of songs that best represent Classic Rock and here it is. Not all of these are my favorite song from said group but I think all of them are a great way to introduce someone to Classic Rock. Do you agree with this list? What would you add or subtract? What would be on your list?
