Classic Rock: Choice Cuts II

This is the second entry in my classic rock series and includes many British artists- and where would classic rock be without the British? I find it interesting how most if not all British classic rock artists point to American blues and jazz  as their main musical influence and yet most of their fans express little or no interest in blues or jazz. The ‘70s was the golden age for classic rock and the genre will most likely die along with the British and American artists who created it (R.I.P. Charlie T. Wilbury, Jr.). But the music will survive as long as there are people. Here are some (more) of my favorite classic rock songs. Enjoy!
