three classic rock songs from the 1970s<\/a> that made us start a band back in the day.<\/p>\n\u201cSince I\u2019ve Been Loving You\u201d by Led Zeppelin from \u2018Led Zeppelin III\u2019 (1970)<\/p>\n
If you want an example of true-blue rock, here it is. If you want music that sweats and drips with buzzy chords, heavy rhythms, and vocals that rise higher than skyscrapers, then this is for you. Led Zeppelin never disappoints. Even more than that, the British-born band always exceeds expectations. For evidence, just dive into this track from their third LP, Led Zeppelin III. It\u2019s a superhero of a song. <\/p>\n
\u201cCrazy On You\u201d by Heart from \u2018Dreamboat Annie\u2019 (1976)<\/p>\n
The Pacific Northwest-born rock band Heart has been inspiring people since they released their debut LP, Dreamboat Annie, in 1976. You don\u2019t often see a rock group fronted by women, so that would be enough for Heart to make this list. But gender aside, the band is simply unmatched. Singer Ann Wilson can seemingly touch the constellations with her voice, and sister guitar player Nancy shreds like the world is her own personal block of cheese. \u201cCrazy On You\u201d is a song about going mad on your lover to forget the war going on outside your window. Seems relevant! And inspiring!<\/p>\n
\u201cMoney\u201d by Pink Floyd from \u2018The Dark Side Of The Moon\u2019 (1973)<\/p>\n
Even if you didn\u2019t know what Pink Floyd was talking about in this song that decries greed, you would be urged to write your own music. That\u2019s just how good the instrumentation is. That bass line? Wow! You strut along with it. You feel its heft and power. Then, if you do understand the lyrics, you\u2019re reminded that music can change the world. One message delivered properly can turn things upside down. That\u2019s quite a fulfilling notion.<\/p>\n
