Pretend you're starting from scratch with nothing at all, and you want to create the ultimate classic rock collection. What albums do you buy?

I had to reread that several times before I realized what you were referring to. I was like "WTF is VH1984? Basic cable must really suck now cuz all I have is VH1."

yeah tough call (need eruption), could get the greatest hits album I guess, but for some reason a greatest hits album doesn't flow as well as a studio album. Solution, get them both.

Yep. Greatest Hits for any band is probably the way to go. Gotta have Sweet Home Alabama, some Who, some Crosby, Stills, and Nash.

Although Joe Satriani is awesome (I own his entire catalog of CD's) I wouldn't call his genre classic rock bro.
