Classic Rock suggestions
 

I've decided to broaden my horizons more and listen to more classic rock (as opposed to hiphop and jpop/jrock) I grew up on rock since I was little (all my parents ever listened to) but have grown somewhat out of touch with it in the past 5-6 years.

I've attained most songs from these bands thus far:

The Beatles (mostly '66-70' but some of their older stuff as well)
John Lennon (Solo)
Pink Floyd
Van Halen
Guns and Roses
The Doors
Foreigner
Led Zeppelin
Prism
The Rolling Stones

Anything anyone else can suggest?

ZZ Top, Journey, Boston, Cream, Clapton, Kansas, Alice Cooper, Iron Maiden, possibly Aerosmith, Judas Priest, and then hair metal

I am very surprised that you listen to Prism. Awesome band.

Here are some musts as far as i'm concerned.

Motley Crue
AC/DC
Metallica
Poison
Sweet
Iron Maiden
Alice Cooper
Def Leppard
Journey
Steve Miller Band
Kiss
Queen
Aerosmith

Shit how could i forget Journey, Boston and ZZTop, those were staples for my house growing up. Cooper, Maiden, Clapton and Priest work too.

A very underrated band IMO
