Mr. P.

If you were thinking about checking out some older bands from the 60's, 70's, 80's and 90's, this list is a great place to start.  

Remember, if you download any of their songs, find versions that are 224 kbps and up so you hear the musicians the way they intended their music to be heard ;-)

iTunes Plus versions of all this music is available on iTunes, complete with album art, some of which was really cool back in the day.

If you have never heard of any of these bands, two Canadian bands scored very high on the list:

Led Zeppelin 9 songs of the 107 Classic Rock Songs of all time

The Beatles 8 songs of the 107 Classic Rock Songs of all time

Pink Floyd 7 songs of the 107 Classic Rock Songs of all time

The Rolling Stones 6 songs of the 107 Classic Rock Songs of all time

U2 5 songs of the 107 Classic Rock Songs of all time

AC/DC 5 songs of the 107 Classic Rock Songs of all time

Rush (Canadian Band!) 4 songs of the 107 Classic Rock Songs of all time

The Guess Who (Canadian Band!) 4 songs of the 107 Classic Rock Songs of all time
