How should I start getting into classic rock?

I really want to start getting into classic rock but there’s so many bands and songs that it’s really overwhelming and I don’t really know where to start. How should I start finding songs to listen to? I’d like to get into Zeppelin and Pink Floyd and stuff but I just don’t know where to start, what do you suggest?

  9. Music Man said :

    Pink Floyd and Fleetwood Mac to start, mate. Progress to bands like Santana, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Rush. from there go to Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, KISS, etc.

  10. nLove wit Slash said :

    Start with one thing, and everything flows from there. I, personally, would start with the Beatles. Then after you knwo enough of them and there music, go along the timeline. Next, Rolling Stones, then the Who, then Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, etc. It works a lot better if you do it chronologically.

  11. Ace Explosion [Krokodile Shears] said :

    Start with the Basics. Here are some albums and songs to help
    Led Zeppelin – Houses of the Holy, songs Over the Hills and Far Away, The Crunge, Dyer Maker, No Quarter, The Ocean
    Pink Floyd – Dark Side of the Moon, songs the whole album
    Black Sabbath – Sabotage, or Paranoid, songs both pretty good, what you like is mostly prefrance
    The Beatles – Sgt. Peppers, Magical Mystery Tour,…..
    Judas Priest – British Steel songs- The whole album
    Iron Maiden – Anything after Bruce Dickenson took over
    Van Halen – I, II, Fair Warning
    Deep Purple – Burn
    KISS- Creatures of the Night, Destroyer, Hotter than Hell

    This should be enough to start you out

    Here’s an idea: check out Badfinger.

    They were a great band and one of the most underrated bands of all time…not to mention that they had what is probably the most tragic story in rock history.
