Can you help me find some particular classic rock song(s)

Asked by ScottyMcGeester (1897points) December 13th, 2015

I’m looking for classic rock songs (i.e. Led Zeppelin, Rolling Stones, Aerosmith and the like) with specific themes.

I need songs that are relatable to people who are troublemakers and travelers/drifters. Songs with lyrics relating to both would be amazing.

If you want a genre that celebrates bad men, try bluegrass. There are some real gems there. Same is true for the blues.

Outlaw Man- The Eagles.

@lynfromnm

“Born to Run”

That’s a great choice.

I was going to post that but I got distracted looking at videos of Holly Holm. ;-p

House of the Rising Sun- The Animals
Ramblin’ Man- The Allman Brothers Band
Long Cool Woman in a Black Dress- the Hollies

and MOST OF ALL, One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer by George Thorogood. This song deserves your full and undivided attention.

Love the question!

I listen to a lot of the Beatles, Billy Joel, Chicago, Journey, Eagles, Aerosmith. They all have great songs that you can listen to. I am not sure what you are looking for. But listen to them all and maybe you will find something you will like.

This is the best type of homework q I’ve seen on Fluther! Lots of good tunes above…
Jimi Hendrix Hey Joe! definitely meets the criteria.
