suggestions for a newbie?

[ratnik]

Hello! I'm new to classic rock. Big sister got me into it. Any idea what I should be listening to? She gave me a shitload of bands but I'd rather start with three or four and go on from there. Thanks!!

Listen to some Rush. Welcome

 

[Hydrazoic Acid]

ratnik, start with albums "Holy Diver" by Dio, "A Night At The Opera" by Queen and "Lovedrive" by Scorpions.

Welcome aboard Ratnik.

Led Zeppelin II
Deep Purple Machine Head
Kansas Leftoverture

Those are 3 excellent albums and bands.

Welcome to CRF!

You definitely need to be listening to Aerosmith. Start with Get Your Wings, Toys in the Attic, and Rocks..

Three live ones:

Looks like you're going to end up with shit loads more ratnik . 'Classic Rock' is actually quite diverse and it's all down to the taste of the individual. Your sister may have already suggested these, but they would be excellent albums to get into if you haven't already done so -

One of the biggest selling albums of all time, Dark Side of the Moon by Pink Floyd



and an all time classic from another of the 'big beasts' of the genre - the fourth Led Zeppelin album (which has a whole range of titles)

 

[The Great Duck]

Ratnik, are you from ex-Yugoslavia by any chance?

Great choices! I'd go with these as well.
