My votes:

ELO actually stands for "cannon fodder". You Shook Me All Night Long

Second pair is tougher, I enjoy Legs, but all three performances on the Cream are epic. Crossroads

You don't need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows. Subterranean Homesick Blues

I truly love Surrender and all its gear-shift modulations, but I'll vote for my favorite Bad Co song. Shooting Star
 
AC/DC has this one.
Cream covering Robert Johnson? Sign me up for that.
The phone's tapped anyway, Maggie says that many say they must bust in early May, orders from the DA.
When in bad company, try a cheap trick. "Surrender".

My votes:

Not into Clapton's country-type stuff. Come Together
One of rock's greatest instrumentals. Jessica
Time for Lou to get trampled underfoot. Over The Hills And Far Away
Low Rider has a classic riff, but no. With A Little Help From My Friends
 
Don't understand Tom Petty hate and I'm not even a fan; that song is awesome, another GTA classic song in this game :D
