Who Sang These Songs: The Classic Rock Music Subgenre Quiz

Generally, radio stations that call themselves "classic rock" really just mean rock that is more than 30 years old. But, classic rock as a subgenre has some specific characteristics that unify the songs within it. They all have a strong electric guitar with virtuoso performances. They have bold vocals that can almost seem like they are being growled or screamed out at times. And, they tend to crescendo into a wall of sound at the end of each song. So, while Steely Dan and The Doobie Brothers are played on classic rock stations, they are not by this definition classic rock. They are yacht rock, so look for them on a future quiz. For this quiz, type in the name of the classic rock performer(s) who performed the songs listed in the hint provided.
Note: not all of the artists in these answers were limited to only the classic rock subgenre, but all of the songs in the hints are emblematic of the subgenre.

Well, I'll be damned. I have been saying checks for free for 35 years! Next thing, you are gonna tell me Anna Gadda Davita is actually something else. OK, I'll fix it. Thanks!
