Looking for some rock tunes in Open G

I know about the Stones and Black Crowes, for instance
Stones - Start Me Up, Honky Tonk Woman, Brown Sugar
Black Crowes - By your side, Seeing Things

What others?
 
I believe most of George Thorogood (sp?) is open G.
 
..along with When the Levee Breaks by Led Zep, and I believe Stay with Me by The Faces may be in open G

 
A lot of the Zep and the acoustic stuff in particular is in open tunings.

Open G/A are the same tunning.
As is E/D.
Off by a whole step.
All of these are the same with a extra high or low string.
The intervals are the same.
Notice where the Major 3rd is.

DADGAD is open D with the g added.

If this is not clear to someone let me know and I well try to find a link for you.
 
Thanks - right, Faces, Ronnie Wood, makes sense. George T - didn't know that. Cool.

So Stones, Crowes, Faces, George. Anyone else?
 
Ive been digging on Open E on my acoustic. Mainly because the action is so low on my Martin and that the extra string tension helps counteract it. And it has a cool jangly sound.
 
Check out Paul Gilbert's "escalator music". It's on his Gilbert Hotel CD. Open E with nice ringing chords.
