Teh One Who Knocks

We listen to a classic rock station here at work, pretty much the only station that everyone could agree on (more or less) without complaining. I hear a lot of the same songs over and over, by some of the big names in classic rock. They don't very often play some of my favorites from the bands I hear (and some they do, some are bigger hits) and was just wondering who else has has favorites from the 'super groups' of classic rock that rarely get airplay, even on classic rock stations.
Now, this list isn't all encompassing obviously, but it's some of the bigger name groups that I hear on a daily basis. What are your favorite(s) from the following?
Led Zeppelin
The Who
Aerosmith
Lynyrd Skynyrd
The Rolling Stones
The Beatles
Black Sabbath
ZZ Top
Van Halen
Bad Company
Pink Floyd
And if I missed some bands you want to add to the list, feel free to add them :thumbsup:
