Deep Purple did "Smoke on the Water." It was about Frank Zappa's place at Montreux, Switzerland that got crispified.

I really wish I had time to list all the classic rock I would recommend for you, because I could literally type down thousands of titles. I will, however, throw some more albums out there.

After their least successful album to that point, Presence, Led Zeppelin released In Through The Out Door in 1979. It marked a resurgence after some tragic events for frontman Robert Plant and was paving the way for a Zep thrust into the '80s. It had multiple covers and premiered at No. 1 on both sides of the Atlantic. Unfortunately, drummer John Bonham would die an untimely death in September 1980 due to alcohol poisoning, and there would be no more Zep albums, save for Coda, a 1982 release which compiled some tracks which didn't reach earlier Zeppelin albums (for example, "We're Gonna Groove, which Zep performed live many times in the late '60s), along with some post-In Through The Out Door work. Tracklist for In Through The Out Door:
1. In The Evening
2. South Bound Saurez
3. Fool In The Rain
4. Hot Dog
5. Carouselambra
6. All My Love
7. I'm Gonna Crawl
