    If you like the Doors get the tribute album, Stoned Immaculate, released, I think, in 2000. All the Doors play on all the songs, I believe, with the other artists, Morrison is in most.

    It includes Under Waterfall, a new song by the Doors, with Morrison dubbed in, of course
    Is Everybody In?, all the Doors with William S. Burroughs reading the Lyrics.
    Roadhouse Blues, with John Lee Hooker.
    Break on Through, with The Stone Temple Pilots, Krieger and Manzareck .
    Children of the Night, with Perry Farrel & Exene. With Krieger, Manzareck and Densmore. I never heard of them, but it's pretty good.
    Bo Diddly on Love Her Madly with Krieger, Manzareck and Densmore.
    The Cosmic Movie, All the Doors.
    Others include, Creed, Train, Smash Mouth, Days of the New, Aerosmith, The Cult, Oleander, and Ian Astbury.

    A must have for all Doors fans.

    I'd recommend the doors as well.

    I was gonna say Thin Lizzy but I dunno how far back you want me to go in terms of 'classic rock' - I have plenty on my portable jukebox *shrugs*
