Five Great Classic Rock Songs From The 70s!

As far as music goes... Well there is a lot of great music out there that has spanned really the last 100 years! But as far as Rock 'N Roll is concerned, well... The 50s had some great Rock 'N Roll with people like, 'Elvis Presley' and the 60s had greats like, 'The Beatles', and so I thought it was about time that I started highlighting some of the great music from some of these eras, and so I thought I would start with Classic Rock, and more directly with the 1970s!

So I hope you enjoy: Five Great Classic Rock Songs From The 70's!

At number 5: AC/DC with, 'T.N.T.' from their 1976 album of the same name:


At number 4: Aerosmith with, 'Sweet Emotion' from their 1975 album, 'Toys In The Attic':


And next up at number 3: The Who with, 'The Punk And The Godfather', from their 1973 album, 'Quadrophenia':


And at number 2: Alice Cooper with, 'School's Out' from his 1972 album of the same name:


And last but certainly not least, at number 1: Led Zeppelin with, 'Kashmir' from their 1975 album, 'Physical Graffiti':


There are a lot more great songs from this era, but I thought that I would highlight these because these songs really are some truly classic rock songs!

Led Zeppelin. Kashmir (1975) - Song Review

Official Score = 4 Devils
Official Score = 4 Devils
I have found that as far bands go, just who I would consider to be the best of the best for any number of reasons, but I have found that for me, that I have listened to so much music, that over the years my absolute favorite song has changed a lot!

But there is one song (This song I absolutely love, and is definitely in my top 3), but I have to give it up to the fact that composition-ally, lyrically instrumentally, and basically everything about it is what would make it the best song that has ever been created for the genre that it is a part of!

This song being, 'Kashmir', from Led Zeppelin's sixth album, 'Physical Graffiti'!

Led Zepplin performing, 'Kashmir' live! 
I mean this song has received so much praise, that not only does the entire band consider this song to be one of their crowning achievements, as a matter of fact, Robert Plant (The bands singer), has stated that, 'Kashmir' is the definitive Led Zeppelin song ever!

But not only is there all that but critics for years have been praising this song for it's monumental genius!

And the truth is folks, this song is truly awesome, a definitive song that I would say easily defines the best attributes of Rock 'N Roll in just about every aspect, and if you are a fan of this type of music, I would be seriously surprised if when you tried it, you didn't absolutely love it... So give it a try!
