My 13-yr-old brother has just "discovered" music and got an ipod for Christmas. He is liking Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Aerosmith, and that type of thing. I'd like to recommend some songs for him to download but am not really into that kind of music and my knowledge is really limited. Any suggestions for "must-hear" songs for a kid just getting into music?

Check out the soundtrack for "The Devil's Rejects". Twisted movie, but the soundtrack is nothing but must-haves for any classic rock collection.
Midnight Rider - The Allman Brothers Band
Funk 49 - Joe Walsh and the James Gang
Freebird - Lynard Skynard
Rock On - David Essex
Rocky Mountain Way - Joe Walsh
and a few more I can't think of.
Another classic rock lover's soundtrack: "Dazed and Confused"

What a cool thing to do.
Great music of the 70's and 80's came from groups like
BTO(bachman, turner overdrive)-"Taking care of business" "Not Fragile"
Styx-"Come Sail Away", "Mr' Roboto"
Boston- "More Than a Feeling", "Smokin", "Don't Look Back"
The Steve Milller Band-"Jungle Love", Fly Like An Eagle"' "Take the Money and Run"
Ted Nugent- "Cat Scratch Fever", "Wango Tango"
There are so many great bands from that time, but I was just a little kid listening to my older brother's and sister's stuff.

Just start off clean...
"Sweet Emotion" by Aerosmith.
Then try "Comfortably Numb" by Pink Floyd from
their album, "The Wall".
He will find his groove......
Led Zeppelin will then peak his curiosity....
Once the ship "sets sail" in this venue...
He will find himself on a true voyage of discovery.
As we all did when we were 13.
I was lucky enough to find these artists
at the time they were writing and performing their work.
It's cool that your brother is interested at the age of 13
in the music of this era.
"Must Hear Songs"????
To many to list!!!
Stick with the Bands..
The albums...
The era....
Can't go wrong!!
P.S.
Anything from "The Rolling Stones" from the 60's would be a great place to start.....
Good Question!!! :)
