Question
This might seem like a very broad question but could you give me some really good unknown songs of classic rock. It doesn't neccessarily have to be popular bands just any classic rock song that is very unknown. Because I have been listening to classic rock for years now and I dont want to run out of good songs, seems like I know all of them please help, I know there is more out there that are actually epic songs.

Answer
  If what you hear of rock era music only comes from the radio, you aren't hearing the best stuff.  The best rock era music was entire albums.   Steppenwolf Live ( the original steppenwolf live, not more recent stuff, it was released in 1970).   Ten Years After recorded Live.   The Guess Who American Woman.    Potliquor Levee Blues.   Harry Nilsson Nilsson Schmilsson.  Ten Years After Rock N Roll Music To the World. Humble Pie Rockin the Filmore and Smokin.  
 Creedence Clearwater Revival Bayou Country,  Green River, Willy and the Poorboys,  Cosmos Factory.
  Led Zeppelin 2.   Led Zeppelin ZOSO.   
 Foghat Fool For the City.  

 And, an absolute must for anyone that collects rock era music is all of the following:
 The Moody blues classic seven album, the best six of which are To Our Childrens Children,   On the Threshold of a Dream, Seventh Sojourn,  In Search Of The Lost Chord,  A Question of Balance, and Every Good Boy Deserves Favour.  
 Those six albums are by far my favorites,  I like every song on every one of them.   They are all quite artistic,  somewhat psychedelic,  and equally as good as each other.

I can answer general questions about rock era bands, record labels they were on, and names of songs. Often I can tell the name of the record company that released a song, as well as the name of the song, and the year of release based on some of the lyrics. I grew up during the rock era and I am a musician myself, and always read the album and 45 info for production credits as well as lineups. One of the chat rooms I go to is quite amused at my ability to name a song along with it`s year of release and record label. I was also a record collector for years.
