Costellogirl75 0 Report post Posted May 1, 2004 How are you defining classics? 60's only? 70's only? Hard rock, rock, pop, etc? I would put a little Jefferson Airplane, maybe Somebody to Love or Volunteers. Then, some Cream, some Pink Floyd, some Zeppelin, AC/DC, then some Black Sabbath.

cindy17838 0 Report post Posted May 1, 2004 Stone's "Gimme Shelter" or "Sympathy for the Devil" Of course they have many other good songs, those are just my two favorites, but something by the Rolling Stones would have to be included. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MuzikTyme 0 Report post Posted May 1, 2004 I suggest Sugarloaf's Green Eyed Lady and Tony Joe White's Polk Salad Annie. Two songs that always get the beat and truly have a sound of those times. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bluesboy 5 Report post Posted May 18, 2004 I've heard that Jazz is the only music that originated in America. Would blues be considered a branch of jazz? or do you know where blues originated? In a nutshell, blues mostly features simple 3-chord progressions. It grew out of African spirituals and worksongs of the Southern U.S. Blues is the forefather of Jazz. Jazz is like a son or nephew of the blues. Both originated here in the U.S. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
