Classic Rock

Diving into the "Classic Rock" playlist is like unearthing a time capsule filled with the most electrifying tunes from rock and roll's golden era, sprinkled with a few unexpected gems from adjacent genres and periods that carry the spirit of rebellion and innovation. Starting off strong with Van Halen's "Panama - 2015 Remaster" and AC/DC's "Back In Black", the playlist is a masterclass in rock's power to energize and enthuse. But it’s not just about the heavy hitters of the '70s and '80s; the inclusion of tracks like "The Diary of Jane - Single Version" by Breaking Benjamin and "Howlin' for You" by The Black Keys showcase how the essence of rock has permeated through the decades, evolving while still holding onto that raw, unfiltered edge that fans crave.

Among the standout tracks, Led Zeppelin's "Whole Lotta Love - 1990 Remaster" and Jimi Hendrix's "Hey Joe" take listeners back to the days when rock was reshaping the cultural landscape, offering a mix of nostalgia for those who lived through it and discovery for those who didn't. With a dash of variety, from the psychedelic harmonies in "Aquarius/Let The Sunshine In (The Flesh Failures)" by The 5th Dimension to the gritty riffs of "Money" by Pink Floyd and the soulful rock of "Smooth" by Santana feat. Rob Thomas, the playlist is an eclectic mix designed to cater to the tastes of classic rock purists and newcomers alike. It invites listeners on a rollercoaster ride through the highs and lows of rock's history, encapsulating the genre’s enduring appeal.
