All of the great rock bands started by covering the classics.
But his selection of songs is somewhat laughable.
I suggest: House of the Rising Sun Homework Good morning little school girl Revolution Under my thumb Eight days a week Refugee
What about you folks? What great classics should be included? Not the obscure, but real mainstream rock winners.
Hotel California. huh
Ricky Nelson’s Garden Party - that’s my theme song! Why do someone elses songs? Do your own. However one point: A group called Poppa Do-Ron-Ron does the Beach Boys better than the Beach Boys.
Since I’ll assume you mean classics to dance to I’ll add
Mustang Sally
Midnight Hour
Get Ready
Smoke On the Water
sweet home Alabama?
Syndicate of Sound - Little Girl
Check out the seagull at the 1:22 mark. I think that is one of the most awesome "seagull in a music video" moments ever. That seagull was so full of life and had so much energy!
Comfortably Numb, Wish you Were Here.
I would think any such list should begin and end with “Johnny B Goode” and “Louie Louie.” Everything else is more or less optional.
That’s Alright Mama
Whipping Post.
Just sayin....
Under My Thumb.
Yep.
Louie Louie
that’s all
Rawhide....

Worst band ever butchers Pink Floyd.
Rock is dead. Sad to say. It’s a lost art form especially to any one under 30.
“Just the basics” lol!
Freebird.
Mariner, Ackroyd and Belushi didn’t create a blues band. The band, as Ackroyd said, was the best house band in the world. They were basically the MGs (Memphis Group). Steve Cropper and Duck Dunn.
Riccus, they were the band in two of the songs you mentioned. Booker T and the MGs. Steve wrote the music and contributed to the lyrics to Mustang Sally and Knock On Wood. Play one then play the other one backwards.
