Classic rock songs are songs that are older than twenty-five years. Older rock songs contain innuendo and cover the topic of making love. Of course there are some songs that are very clear what they are for. The songs are for making love so set it on and let it play all night long.
25.“Bang A Gong” by T. Rex (1971)

This song came out on their fifth album in 1975 and there is a fantastic version on their live album, Foghat Live, that was released in 1977.

Led Zeppelin II, released in 1969, contains the only Led Zeppelin song to reach the top ten, peaking at #4 in the US as a single.

The full version remains one of the band’s classics and the music and Willie Dixon inspired lyrics are primal and sexy.

- “Night Moves” by Bob Seger (1976)
Released in 1976 by Bob Seger, this song is the most classic rock song for sex. The lyrics are so poignant about a summertime teenage affair. The song is timeless. In 1994, a music video was released and starred Matt LeBlanc, prior to “Friends” television show and Daphne Zuniga of “Melrose Park”.
