60's
The Beatles - Here, There and Everywhere
Led Zeppelin - Dazed and Confused
Derek and The Dominos - Layla
The Beach Boys - God Only Knows
Jimi Hendrix - Crosstown Traffic

70's
Aerosmith - Nobody's Fault
Pink Floyd -Shine On You Crazy Diamond
The Rolling Stones - Angie
Paul McCartney - The Back Seat Of My Car
Deep Purple - Mistreated / David Bowie - Life On Mars? / John Lennon - Isolation (though choice)

I'll haven't really listened yet to the other decades. But probably some Elvis from the 50's, some Guns N' Roses from the 80's and some Nirvana from the 90's.
