Turn Up the Radio - An album series I made
Currently, I'm making a series of albums on my computer called "Turn up the Radio". Basically, each album is a compilation of 7 rock music tracks. About 95% of them are classic rock songs, but occasionally some alternative rock tracks are added.
I thought of the series name because of the song Turn Up the Radio by Autograph - a very underrated glam metal song in my opinion. 
I've made three volumes so far. Of the three volumes, here are the artists I've included:
Van Halen, The Beatles, The Guess Who, Steve Miller Band, Journey, Spin Doctors, ? and the Mysterians, U2, Led Zeppelin, Tommy James and the Shondells, Rascal Flatts, Ratt, Aerosmith, John Lennon, Foreigner, The Zombies, The Doobie Brothers, Chicago, and Steely Dan.
If you want, I'll post the track listings for each album.
Do you have any songs/artists you think I should include on the volumes to come?

Great selections; definitely reflects the background of the songs in the series.
I'll keep those in mind.

You could do a tribute to Davy Jones or somethin' I dunno
Also a good choice. ^^
Now if only I can find a Monkees song that isn't a live version - a good amount of the songs on the website I use as a source for music are live versions.

Bon Jovi
Well if you wanted honesty, that's all you had to say. I never want to let you down or have you go, it's better off this way.

Yep, I was considering adding Bon Jovi after I started hearing them more often.
Note - It seems as if these mixtapes are kind of turning into Scratch collabs.

Thanks.
And, I'm not exactly planning to publish it. It's just some compilations I've made on my computer and felt like talking about. XD
I'll probably burn it onto CD as soon as I can.

Re: Turn Up the Radio - An album series I made
I recorded and finished "Turn Up the Radio, Vol. 4" today.
Track listing
1. Turn Up the Radio - Autograph (It's about time I used this. )
2. Dancing in the Moonlight - King Harvest
3. Tell Her No - The Zombies
4. One of These Nights - Eagles
5. Reelin' in the Years - Steely Dan
6. Shooting Star - Bad Company
7. In the Meantime - Spacehog
Sorry that I wasn't able to include most of your requests, but I probably will utilize them for Vol. 5. I actually did look for "God Only Knows" by The Beach Boys and a certain live version of "We Will Rock You" by Queen, but I couldn't find good versions of them.

Re: Turn Up the Radio - An album series I made
This is awesome, might I recommend:
Elton John (PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE)
Paul McCartney (PLEASE)
Rolling Stones (How could you NOT put the stones in?)
Europe (A couple good songs, like the Final Countdown would be good)
Bon Jovi (Many good songs here)
Eric Clapton
Collective Soul
Def Leppard
Incubus
Black Sabbath
Maybe not the last six, but definitely the ones before it.
Maybe some * pistols too.

Re: Turn Up the Radio - An album series I made
Wow, sudden resurgence of popularity in this.
I really haven't been making these for a while, but I really should, specially now that my music palette has been refined a bit.
I also made a Vol. 12, which I'll try to find the track listing for. In the meantime, I'll work on a Vol. 13.
