Need help with suggestions for a classic rock compilation cd

[Arkitech]

I'm looking to put together a good classic rock compilation for a company function and I need a few suggestions. This will also give me a good excuse to buy a few more CDs for my collection.

any suggestions? I'm mainly looking for upbeat type songs (I'll save the ballads for another day)

Try not to use Kashmir, Bohemian Rhaspody or anything you hear on the radio every single day.


Led Zeppelin and Queen is cool to use, but try to dig deeper in the crates.


People will be like "This song rocks, who is it?"
"Led Zeppelin"
"Whoa, really, I've never heard it before."

I'll try to mix it up, I've had tons of requests for Kashmir and B Rhaspody which is why I included those in the post. But it does sound like a good idea to throw in the occasional obscure tune in the mix too.

beatles - helter skelter
hendrix - purple haze
