Pink Floyd is a category all by themself. A few of theirs from the early 70's are Time, Money, Wish You Were Here, Shine on You Crazy Diamond. The Wall from 1979 is full of huge songs by them. Here is a list of songs that I think defined the era that aren't just the same old songs that everyone would put on a list:
Let It Be - The Beatles
Happy Together - The Turtles
Time of the Season - The Zombies
Purple Haze - Jimi Hendrix
She's a Rainbow - Rolling Stones
White Rabbit - Jefferson Airplane
Taxi - Harry Chapin
I Got a Name - Jim Croce
Day After Day - Badfinger
Free Bird, Sweet Home Alabama - Lynyrd Skynyrd
American Woman - The Guess Who
We're An American Band - Grand Funk Railroad
Cecilia - Simon & Garfunkel
Daydream Believer - The Monkees
Sugar, Sugar - The Archies
Werewolves of London - Warren Zevon
Frankenstein - Edgar Winter Group
Ramblin' Man - Allman Brothers
Ring of Fire - Johnny Cash
The Weight - The Band
In The Year 2525 - Zager & Evans
Leaving On a Jet Plane - Peter, Paul, & Mary
Make It With You - Bread
Me And Bobby McGee - Janis Joplin
Joy to the World - Three Dog Night
American Pie - Don McLean
You're So Vain - Carly Simon
I hope that gives you a start. The list could go on forever.

Back in the awful 80s,I used to listen to a lot of classic rock(mainstream 80s music was terrible). Thse were some of my faves:
"Don't Fear the Reaper" by Blue Oyster Cult.
"Takin' Care of Buisiness" by BTO
A LOT of Neil Young solo stuff,especially the late 70s
About a half-dozen ELO tunes,including "Turn to Stone","Magic" and "Evil Woman".
A LOT of Aerosmith
The Sex Pistols,The Clash and The Ramones are not considered "classic rock",they're punk bands,but they did their thing in the 70s,so I'm putting them on the list. Also,the Damned,Generation X,the Slits,Johnny Thunders,Television,Patti Smith,the list goes on and on...
I hope I helped. Every big city has a classic rock station.If yours doesn't,find one online. The best dvice I can give anyone about music is;just kep listening and you'll find what you're looking for. Good luck.

I've always liked Credence Clearwater Revival (CCR) for real rock & roll. You might Robin Trower's "Bridge of Sighs". Jimmy Hendrix & Janis Joplin are also classic. And of course Bob Seger's "Old Time Rock & Roll".
I commend you on your taste.
- sonjLv 51 decade ago
You have Dylan and Floyd so have a good taste.
Queen would be my next choice.
If you like any Irish influences try Jethro Tull
Good on you for being different to your friends.
Stay with what you like.
Ah yes. Credence rocks!

1. Angie – This song was originally released in 1973 on the Stone's Goats Head Soup album. Rumor has it that Jagger penned this song about Angie Bowie, the wife of David Bowie, after a tryst between the two.
2. Miss You- This song, from the 1978 album Some Girls, had a somewhat different sound than most of the Stone's songs. This song was released in the midst of the disco era, and while the Stone's later released an album which a much more disco-like feel (1980's Emotional Rescue), this was the first taste of a more pop-sounding Rolling Stones. This method worked for the Stones, too, as the album Some Girls went to number 1 on the Billboard charts.
3. Sympathy for the Devil— 1968's Beggar's Banquet spawned some great Stone's songs, but the most memorable is "Sympathy for the Devil". Speaking as the voice of Lucifer, Jagger and Co. caused quite a ruckus with this song, thought of by many as an anthem for evil. Legend has it that this was the song that was being played by the Stone's during their 1968 concert at Altamont, when an 18 year old was fatally stabbed by member's of the Hell's Angels gang (actually the Stone's were singing their classic "Under My Thumb" at the time). In any event, a song that causes such commotion should definitely make any top 10 list.
4. (I Can't get No) Satisfaction - - In 1966 the Rolling Stones performed this hit song on the Ed Sullivan Show. This is one of their most popular and easily recognizable songs.
6. Start Me Up- 1981 found a new breed of Stones fans with the release of the album Tattoo You. The main hit on this album was "Start Me Up", which featured a great guitar hook.
7. Jumpin' Jack Flash- This song didn't make the final cut for the Stone's Beggar's Banquet album, but it was later released as a single. It was then found on the greatest hits compilation, Through the Past Darkly (Big Hits Volume 2). The songs on this collection were dedicated to the late Brian Jones, one of the original members of the Stones.
8. Mother's Little Helper- This song, from the 1966 album Aftermath, starts out with the lyrics "What a drag it is getting old". It then goes on to be an ode to the drudgery of being a housewife - the housewife then goes on to get a little "help" to get through her day, in the form of taking "little yellow pills". This was a very revolutionary song at the time and it's still a classic today.
9. Shattered- Another hit from the Some Girls album, this song paints a not-so-pretty picture of New York City, but it's done in an irresistible way with the "shadoobie" chorus. Sure, Jagger takes pot shots at the city where "love and hope and sex and dreams are still surviving on the streets" but that didn't stop this song from getting tons of airplay in the U.S.
10. Wild Horses- This song was featured on 1971's legendary Sticky Fingers. For Jagger, the lyrics were supposedly an ode to his then-love, Marianne Faithful. This song, a ballad, remains one of the Stone's most beautifully written and touching songs.
6. Start Me Up- 1981 found a new breed of Stones fans with the release of the album Tattoo You. The main hit on this album was "Start Me Up", which featured a great guitar hook.
