Here are some songs that'll bound to get your friend to like classic rock.

"Money For Nothing", by Dire Straits. It has an awesome intro guitar riff.
"La Grange", by ZZ Top. Again, the kickass intro riff.
"Highway Star", by Deep Purple. One of the best song verses ever.
"Eruption", by Van Halen. A little extreme, but it's one of the fastest guitar solo's out there.
"Voodoo Child (Slight Return)", by Jimi Hendrix. Check it out for the intro guitar solo.

I'll add some if I can think of some.

For showing a newbie some classic rock, here's some great songs to start off with.

Killer Queen - Queen
Rocket Man - Elton John
School's Out - Alice Cooper
All You Need Is Love - The Beatles
Carry On My Wayward Son - Starship
Hammer To Fall - Queen

From there, you can listen to some deeper songs, like Bohemian Rhapsody, Dream ON, Hey Jude or Goodbye Yellow Brick Road. Then some more classics. You can decide. Whatever your favourite songs are then some artists you might not have listened to yet. Both of you might be bigger classic rock fans!

Show her David Bowie since she's into indie and punk. David Bowie was indieish before it was cool and at one point he tried being punk. I reccomend the album scary monsters (and super creeps!) (1980) for your friend. Since that's the album where he tried to be kinda punk rock. And if she really likes indie have her listen to space oddity (1969). Hopefully she'll get into classic rock through his music, I know I did and I feel like a lot of people did too. ;)
