Top five classic rock ? Or how 'bout top five classic country ? Artists or songs...

Classic rock...Stairway to Hevan (Led Zeplin), Foreplay/longtime (Boston), Come Sail Away (Styx), Dust in the Wind (Kansas), The Wall (the whole **** album !!!, Pink Floyd). It is really tough to pick top five in any genre ...

man, some old school country favorites...Roger Miller's King of the Road has got to be in there somewhere !
She Stopped Lovin Me Today ( The Possum), Patsy Cline, Charlie Pride, Alabama...

Really, I mean really hard to pick top five in any genera !

Let's hear what ya got !

Gosh too many choices,some good ones listed so far.
For rock, anythiing really bluesy and rebellious at the core. Lots of Zeppelin but probably Ramble On at the top. Stones Paint it Black, Doors Roadhouse Blues, Stevie Ray Vaughan Lennie, Jimmy Hendrix Voodoo Child and the bonus track would be Queen, something early like Tie Your Mother Down. I hate to leave a couple of anthems from Sabbath, GNR or Mettalica off the list.

For country I don't have too much knowledge but I do like lots of Johny Cash, Merle Haggard, heck even Chris Kristofferson and Kenny Rogers. And Taylor Swift is a real talent.


Off in left field, Tone Loc Tainted Love was good, Funky Cold Medina (don't know artist), Balroom Blitz by Sweet, Wynona's Big Brown Beaver by Primus, Do You Really Want to Hurt Me by Culture Club and 6 months in a leaky boat by Crowded House.

And I just LOVE The Four Seasons by Vivaldi.

See, you all new I was a confused boy!

My wife is a major Moody Blues fan. We have seen them a number of times. There are a few other bands I have seen a couple of time. The Moody Blues, at least in our experience, put on a consistently good show.
