Ive decided that I want to learn one Classic Rock song every week. I dont read notation well, so I assume that a week would be a fair amount of time to get through a piece and have a handle on it.
With that being said, what would you recommend as easy to moderately easy Classic Rock songs to sight read?
Ultimately I plan find a Classic Rock band, so those with experience, what songs would you recommend as songs that every Classic Rock band should know?

Smoke on the Water by Deep Purple. The song is worn out, but the bass line is pretty cool.
Anything by Hendrix. Fire, Purple Haze, All Along the Watchtower etc
Lots of AC/DC... Pick any song you want. Most popular ones are stuff like Hell's Bells, Highway to Hell and others.
