Working on this playlist - “Heavy deep tracks 1968-1973” - hope you dig it!

I’ve been working on this playlist for a week or so. Are there any essentials of this era and style that I am missing? I’m always open to suggestions. I hope you dig it! Here’s the Spotify link:

Classic Rock albums for overcoming sadness and grief

Recently, my grandfather is about to pass away due to his illness. Thus, I need Classic Rock albums for overcoming sadness and grief during upcoming difficult times.

And by Classic Rock, I have no restriction in terms of era or how it's presented. It's not a kind of music he listens to, but this is one of the genres that makes me feel at ease.

Thanks for every suggestions in advance!

Rock n Roll Appreciation Class

Hey yall i'm a college student and I am in a rock n roll appreciation class this semester. For my final project I am supposed to interview people who graduated high school pre 1985 and ask them a couple questions about music. I figured there would be some people in this sub with good knowledge about rock music. If anyone is interested I can send you the questions, it isn't anything personal just favorite artists and thoughts on the culture surrounding it. Thanks!

MOLLY HATCHET & BLACKFOOT: I didn't go to this concert for some reason back in 2006 but saved & stashed the pair of tickets away in a keepsake box then re-found the tix last night while looking through stuff. Fortunately, I saw both bands twice back in their glory days.
