The challenge: pick a song a year, from 1970 through 1999, to build a playlist that defines The Next Generation of Classic Rock.
Each year’s song either has to have been on the charts or on an album released in the corresponding year. Oh, and do it without repeating any artists. I did it (with the exception of AC/DC; gotta have both Bon and Brian). Take a spin through my playlist and let me know what you think.
Black Sabbath "Paranoid"
The Who "Baba O'Riley"
Led Zeppelin "Rock and Roll"
Aerosmith "Mama Kin"
