It has come to my attention that my iPod is sorely lacking in the hard rock department. I'll be honest when I say that I have very, very limited knowledge of modern or classic rock bands, but still immensely enjoy the genre. So I ask you gentlemen, submit unto me your favorite songs so that I can load my iPod with awesomeness!

Thin Lizzy
AC-DC
Cream
Blind Faith
Faith No More
Jet
Mountain

Pick pretty much anything by them and it will probably give you a good start.

Actually, I meant to include that one, but missed it in my long list of songs. I've probably left a few others out by accident as well.

I did compile this list while at work.

Add The Cult:

Just get their first two wide release albums.
Love
Electric

Ramones
Just pick and choose, some of their albums are a little weak.

There's Coldplay in this thread but no Motley Crue? Bahhhhh. This must be remedied!

My additions what has already been listed, off the top of my head:

Motley Crue
Dr. Feelgood
Kickstart My Heart
Shout at the Devil
Wild Side
Sick Love Song (especially if you can get the Carnival of Sins tour live version)
Primal Scream

Guns N Roses
Welcome to the Jungle
Sweet Child of Mine
November Rain
Paradise City

Poison
Look What the Cat Dragged In
Talk Dirty to Me
Nothin' But a Good Time

Kiss
Rock and Roll All Night
Detroit Rock City
Love Gun
I Was Made for Lovin' You
Lick it Up

Sixx AM

Motley Crue sucks :tongue:

You like Motley Crue, so you obviously have poor taste. :finger:

i'm not gonna pass judgement on coldplay or motley crue but i am gonna say this, in a thread where a guy asks for hard rock motley crue is a much better suggestion.

Motorhead - Ace of Spades, then put your ipod on repeat.

The James Gang

Velvet Revolver

The Mars Volta

Audioslave

The Black Keys

Rage Against The Machine

Anyone who doesn't know Smoke on the Water shouldn't be ALLOWED to listen to classic rock.

Probot's Shake Your Blood is also orgasmic.

Yknow who I find overrated?

Rush

Heh, well, that is true. I kinda missed the hard rock bit there. Just saw the rock and got to work. Though, he does also mention that he wants Classic and Modern hard rock. Not sure if Motley Crue qualifies for classic just yet. I also omitted bands like Smashing Pumpkins, Pearl Jam, and Nirvana for the same reason. I meant to leave Metallica off as well for the same reason, but I put it on there and didn't think about that until just now. Don't feel like editing the list now.

Wikipedia tells me I apparently don't listen to much 'hard rock'. 'Bout the only bands I can think of that haven't been mentioned already are Blue Oyster Cult, Rainbow and Elf (both of which had Dio in them).

Edit: Does ZZ Top count. Because Eliminator is one of the most badass albums of all time.

Classic rock? Then my current favourite suggestions would be Free and Bad Company. Possibly because I have a slight man crush on Paul Rodgers' vocals.

Everyone knows 'Smoke on the Water', so that point is moot. I might say that it is people who only have 'Smoke on the Water' and no other 'Purple songs who shouldn't be allowed to listen to classic rock. 'Smoke on the Water' is like 'Bohemian Rhapsody', 'Stairway to Heaven', 'Sweet Home Alabama' and 'Hotel California' - a great song that is overplayed to the detriment of the rest of the artist's catalogue.

That said, 'Machine Head' is a good Deep Purple album to start on. You get 'Smoke on the Water', but also 'Highway Star', 'Space Truckin'', 'Lazy' and others. Deep Purple are pretty hard rockers, and probably paved the way for the advent of Metal and bands such as Black Sabbath and Motorhead.

For classic rock, I'd go for bands like The Who, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, the Rolling Stones, the Doors, the Grateful Dead, (Peter Green era) Fleetwood Mac, AC/DC, Cream/Derek & the Dominos (and other Clapton vehicles... check out Clapton with John Mayall's Bluesbreakers), the Allman Brothers, Queen, Deep Purple, Black Sabbath, the Jimi Hendrix Experience, etc.

Actually, Deep Purple and Black Sabbath both formed around 1968-70.[/nitpick]

Sure, but both bands changed significantly during their lifetimes, so who can say?

Incidentally, I can't believe I missed out Thin Lizzy in my previous post, and even after I went and saw Phil Lynott's statue in Dublin a few months ago. That's another seriously underrated band.

Jethro Tull: Aqualung, Locomotive Breath, Hymn 43, Sweet Dream, Minstrel in the Gallery (the edit if you can)

anyone http://www.last.fm/listen/artist/Steve% ... larartists plays

Not sure this classifies as "Hard Rock" but here's a couple:

Rammstein
Ich Will
Keine Lust
Engel (German version)
Stripped
Sonne
Feuer Frei
Te Quiero Puta

Transplants
Diamonds and Guns

The Urge
All Washed Up

Eric Clapton
Cocaine

I love The Urge. Jump Right In was pretty good too, has Nick Hexum from 311. I lost the album I had, sadly.

Also in the vein of Rammstein:
