and, Cindi Lauper

Clark,
If you have trouble finding these, let me know and I can loan you my albums
(just don't scratch them!)
I was really beginning to like this list all the way through Led Zep, the Beatles, Frampton and Van Halen. But then you stumbled a bit with Boz Scaggs (sorry, there is no place in the known universe where "The Lido Shuffle" and I converge). You recovered nicely with the likes of DEVO and The Doors. But Cindi Lauper was a turn into the mud. "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun" should be played after, and only after, you have been through every other option for self-torture available.

OK, here is a start:

Livin' On The Edge - Aerosmith
Rock Lobster - The B52s
Rock And Roll Ain't Noise Pollution - AC/DC
Don't Fear The Reaper - Blue Oyster Cult
Smokin - Boston
Run Through The Jungle - Creedence Clearwater Revival
Walk Of Life - Dire Straights
Slow Ride - Foghat
Truckin' - Grateful Dead
Crazy On You - Heart
White Wedding - Billy Idol
Take Another Little Piece Of My Heart - Janis Joplin
Lola - The Kinks
The Star Spangled Banner - Jimi Hendrix
Immigrant Song - Led Zeppelin
Let It Roll - Little Feat
Sweet Home Alabama - Lynyrd Skynyrd
Cat Scratch Fever - Ted Nugent
We Are The Champions - Queen
School Days - The Runaways
Closer To The Heart - Rush
Low Rider - Santana
Old Time Rock And Roll - Bob Seger
Born To Run - Bruce Springsteen
Wipeout - The Surfaris
Bang A Gong - T Rex
Bad To The Bone - George Thorogood
Wild Thing - The Troggs
Aqualung - Jethro Tull
You Really Got Me - Van Halen
Squeeze Box - The Who

...and I think I still have "Secret Agent Man" by Johnny Rivers on 8-track somewhere...
