I didn't get seriously into music until college. Grunge happened and that dominated the musical landscape of my college days. I also got into jazz, but I was under the influence of Wynton Marsalis, so I thought fusion was crap. I've grown up a lot since then. Now I just think that most fusion is crap.
That's why I asked for recommendations. You can still hear most classic rock singles on any AOR station in the country. That means unless you want to sync Pink Floyd to The Wizard of Oz, the only albums you need are albums full of great songs that don't get played on the radio.

If you like Greg Allman, you might want to try and get your hands on his best session work. He played guitar and Dobro on Boz Scaggs's first solo album in (I think) 1969. The album is self-titled. Give
Somebody Loan Me a Dime a listen.
