Actually, Steppinwolf or The Animals would most likely be found in mine... remember the old Muntz 4-tracks? When 8-tracks came out someone came up with an adapter for the 4 track hole so an 8-track machine could play them.. PITA...
My 8-track had Led Zeppelin, Ten Years After, Cream, Jimi Hendrix, Jethro Tull, Janis Joplin, Steppenwolf and Santana. I still remember a business that had a set-up in the store and let you record your own tape. Their intent was to avoid copyright issues by "renting" everything to the user, who pushed all the buttons. They went out of business pretty quickly, but I was able to build a nice collection in the meantime.
The whole collection was ripped off from my dorm room freshman year.
I had an 8 track recorder that was the bomb. Got it in a trade for mota. I loved Electric Flag, especially Killing Floor and Grass Roots Midnight Confession which was written by dudes in my high school band that had a group called the Evergreen Blues. They performed it an assembly. We were all in the jazz band together. I still expect the long jams to stop and click in the middle while the track changes when I hear some old stuff.

Amusing 8-track anecdote:
Shortly after I was mistakenly allowed to drive legally, our 62 Chevy Belair, the family's second car, was swapped for a 66 Beetle, which had a 6-volt electrical system. To facilitate using the already-in-hand (under dash?) 8-track player, I bought an adapter to convert the voltage. Being a "passive" convertor, it doubled the voltage by halving the current.
So, the player did just fine, but unless the car/engine was cranking at a pretty good clip, there wasn't enough current to actuate the solenoid that moved the tape heads to the next track. This meant that, while sitting, watching the local cruisers go by (small town USA...), I either had to listen to the same track over and over (and over), or else crank up the engine, and rev it until there was enough "juice" to change the track...
