Favorite Songs From Classic Rock Groups

[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:
