My school recently banned grinding, which is fine with me.

What's not okay is the fact that they're thinking about only playing 60,s-70's music. And that's where y'all come in. I need a large list I can submit of... Somewhat appropriate music, preferably hard rock or jazz, but I'm flexible on genres, that I can turn in. Can you help me out?

Anything. The longest list that the collective knowledge of the tropers can compile.

The Doors

The Beatles

Led Zeppelin

Cream

Beach Boys

Jimi Hendrix Best guitarist who ever lived.

Bob Dylan

Mamas and the Papas

That's just the ones off the top of my head from 60s rock.

Lemme do some date checking and I'll fetch more.

60's and 70's is okay, but I also want some more modern rock. I can't stand it when they play only one genre all night.

Most of what I can suggest is indie music, which may make it tough. But here goes.

The Heartless Bastards. Solid blues-rock band.

The Detroit Cobras. They're a garage rock band who actually exclusively plays covers of classic rock and R&B. It's really good.

Florence + the Machine. Even works for slow songs.

The Long Blondes. Who just happened to pop up on my playlist, thus my recommendation. But they're a good Brit-rock band. A nice bit of darkness and cynicism to their songs.

Regina Spektor's great. She does so many different styles that you're bound to find at least a couple songs that work for you.

Every time I hear Buddy Holly or Chuck Berry, I feel like dancing, so I recommend those two.

I feel like some funk and/or soul is in order: James Brown, Parliament ("Tear The Roof Off The Sucker" would probably be the best bet), Stevie Wonder, etc.

How 'bout some Steely Dan? I think something like "Peg" or "Black Cow" could work.

As for modern rock, I can't help you there.

Just about any band/artist on my contributor's page list would be good contenders.

The whole "1965" album by Afghan Whigs... New Orleans Soul/Blues meets sexy late-90s rock swagger. Highly danceable.
