He's incredibly talented. I love how, during his concerts, he turns the audience into an impromptu choir. He's beyond a musician; he's a fucking wizard.

"Panama" by Van Halen
It's overplayed classic rock, but Eddie Van Halen's a guitar god, and his talent really shines in this song.

You like Led Zeppelin? Try Greta Van Fleet. They sound like Led Zeppelin reborn.

Reply to Separation Between Music and Artist? by BBoi138
I try to separate my politics and my music, as well as the artist from the music. If I didn't, my music library would be incredibly small.
To put is simply, people are complex. One person's angelic saint is another's horrible monster--and I'm pretty sure every musician has done something wrong to someone, somehow, to some degree. So, I buy the music that I like and stay largely ignorant of an artist's history or political views--and even then, there are some people whose music I refuse to buy.

Elton John's on his final tour, though. Hopefully OP can get tickets to one of the Europe tour dates.

I saw AC/DC play live once in 2015. For old men, they still nailed it. Hopefully you can see them too, OP. Also The Scorpions are still touring.
As for me:
Led Zeppelin
David Bowie
Jimi Hendrix

As was mentioned in other comments, it's not what you think they would want to hear, so much as that the songs you like, that make you think of them. That will make more of an impact.
Good luck, and please let us know how they receive the mixtape.

Barenaked Ladies. At one of their concerts they had a "Salute To Bald Men," and had all the bald guys come up on stage.
They used to do some really random shit in between songs. It was great.
