Classic Rock

[guitrguy]

My parents have at least 1000 records. But I don't like using their record player. As soon as I get my own I can pretty much listen to anything. Exept various hair metal, hard rock black sabbath sort of bands that they don't like and I do.
Man I wish my parents are like that but my dad does have some VH albums on cd.

[magicbus]

My dad has a good amount. I should get a picture. Maybe tomorrow.

[RNR]

I wish I had a digital camera. Then I could post pictures of junk and such. Like my parents (and now mine since I added best of BTO to it ;)) album wall type thing.

[Badmoon]

Neil young solo> stills (I assume we're talking about buffalo springfield, don't kill me if we aren't.

Neil's solo are choppy, and predictable. Stills can take him on slide, electric, acoustic, ect...IMO

4 dead in ohio

*"Ohio"

[magicbus]

Yea I'll get pictures of the enormous album and cd/dvd (same shelf) collections tomorrow. Right now i'm goin to bed. BE IN SUSPENSE!!

[Last Ditch Effort]

Vinyl is good. Even if you have it on cds. I only have one though, Pink Floyd's Meddle. All the record stores had gay albums...:upset:

Which reminds me, i get to go to the floyd laser show after all!
I wanted to go to the laser show but I missed my chance for buying tickets because I was on Vacation.

[themightyquinn]

I'm here. No worries.

[RNR]

Neil's solo are choppy, and predictable. Stills can take him on slide, electric, acoustic, ect...IMO


I meant his solo career. Stills is a better guitarist.

[RNR]

I'm here. No worries.

And the children rejoice...

[themightyquinn]

Cortez the Killer has a very good solo

[themightyquinn]

And Cinammon Girl has a great riff

[Badmoon]

I meant his solo career. Stills is a better guitarist.

Well, than yes. Definitley, but Stills led Springfield and CSNY. So, it evens out :)

[themightyquinn]

200 yeah!

That being said, who here has been to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame? I was there today, in the gift shop because I didn't feel like paying to get in. Oddly enough, I've only been there twice and the last time I went I knew nothing about rock music.

[Against Miik!]

I've been there, obviously. About 7 times actually. The gift shops rocks.

[themightyquinn]

No way, it's too expensive.

[Seafroggys]

I've been to the Rock 'n Roll hall of fame in June 2001 (when they had the huge John Lennon exhibit).

Oh my god, talk about a life-altering experience. Me going in was not the same person coming out three hours later. Its one of the best times of my life.

[Against Miik!]

Yeah but they have some sweet stuff in there. The only gay stuff is like the shirts and all that. My favorite part every time is the Henrix theater. Right now they have an exhibit on Les Paul which is cool. I suggest that everybody goes there and visits me on your way out.

[guitrguy]

Now I'm getting jealous....why do i have to live in Mississippi???????? :upset:

[themightyquinn]

The main exhibit was The Supremes apparently. Last time is checked it was on U2.

[Against Miik!]

That was a long time ago.

[themightyquinn]

I dunno, that Lennon exhibit was there for a looooooong time

[Against Miik!]

Yeah I only saw that one time I went. The best time I went was when I went with my school becuase I got to spend the whole day with this girl I liked.

[themightyquinn]

Now I'm getting jealous....why do i have to live in Mississippi???????? :upset:
I guess I take it for granted that I live 15 minutes away from the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

[guitrguy]

I guess I take it for granted that I live 15 minutes away from the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
Man...Atleast some who appreciate good rock(you) live nearby.

[Badmoon]

^I've been there. There's a better museum in Orlando though.

[themightyquinn]

Blasphemy!!!!!

[VoodooChild]

Voodoo, are you going to see Gov't Mule and Chris Robinson on tour?

No, they're not touring anywhere near me. I wish they would though...

P.S. Stills is king. Stephen Stills and Manassas are the shiznaight!

[Badmoon]

I was there during the U2 exhibit.

[themightyquinn]

This Orlando place, how is it better than the Rock Hall??????

[Against Miik!]

The rock hall is the only thing Cleveland has over other places. Please don't take that from us!

[themightyquinn]

Rock and Roll forever!!

[J0n45]

Well, it's hard really to describe what "Classic Rock" is. Back then you wouldn't be referring to it as classic rock.

But, the bands that generally get categorized under the classic rock genre; I do like.
Such bands as:
-The Beatles
-The Who
-Led Zeppelin
-Velvet Underground

Those are just a few.

[themightyquinn]

Stop trying to change the subject!!! *shakes fist*

[DeadKennedy420]

hey yeah, when i ehar The Darkness and like Jet, it all sounds like just classic rock
so yeah, classic rock is comin back

but so is classic punk like the ramones and the clash and the sex pistols

[themightyquinn]

The rock hall is the only thing Cleveland has over other places. Please don't take that from us!
Don't forget Halle Berry

[Badmoon]

This Orlando place, how is it better than the Rock Hall??????

Well, for one, it's never crowed, a bit more intimate. Most the stuff isn't in cases, great memorabilia (spl?). And there's tours.

[Against Miik!]

Well, for one, it's never crowed, a bit more intimate. Most the stuff isn't in cases, great memorabilia (spl?). And there's tours.
Ours has a food court :lol:

O well back to classic rock. Who has a new band we can educate eachother on?

[Badmoon]

The one in Orland has a food court :)

Who has a new band we can educate eachother on?

Gov't Mule

Warren Haynes = Hardest working man in music today.

[Against Miik!]

Gov't Mule, The Dead, Allman Brothers...yeah hes doin great. Did you read that article on him in Rolling Stone?

[guitrguy]

^^^^^ i agree

[themightyquinn]

Are we talking new bands now?

[guitrguy]

Warren haynes specifically, hes one of the guitarist from the allman brotheres band

[Badmoon]

Warren Haynes = Gov't Mule, Solo, The Dead, Phil Lesh and Friends, The Allman Brothers

[Badmoon]

Are we talking new bands now?

Gov't Mule is pretty much Classic Rock.

[VoodooChild]

I have a topic. Early psychedelic groups. We HAVE to talk about them!

Strawberry Alarm Clock
The Chocolate Watchband
The Chambers Brothers
Iron Butterfly
Jefferson Airplane
Love
Moby Grape
Grateful Dead
Pink Floyd
Velvet Underground
The Doors
Steve Miller Band
Steppenwolf
Jimi Hendrix
The Beatles
Beefheart
Zappa
Metallica
Green Day
Hillary Duff


That's about it. Now Start Talking About Them!!!! Feel free to add more.

[bassman365]

And yeah, classic rock is becoming extremely popular among teenagers.


ya i'm only 13 and i started liking classic rock because my dad plays it in the car all the time. and i have noticed a big rival. classic rock is making a huge come back some of my favorite have got to be van halen pink floyd and led zeplin

[Against Miik!]

Not all classic rock. Just Zeppelin and Floyd and other really popular bands like that. Go ask your average teenager their favorite Bad Company song.

[PinkFloyd]

Hey PinkFloyd, i like your Pic of the school master. You must be a long tiem member to get the name pink floyd.

Whats GW 0 - 1 mean?

Thanks man. Been here since Aug 2003. GW is basically a war in the Guitar Forum where people are matched against each other people who have been playing just as long as you and you both record something. Then a thread is posted and listeners (who are fellow MX members) vote on which song they liked better. When the polls close, the person with the most votes move on. So far we're just on round one. Go in the guitarforum and do a search for "guitar war" or try to contact MX member Ambush for more information about it. :thumb:


btw: It's 1-0, not 0-1.

HAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA*LEGO*MY*EGGO*HAHAHAHAHAHAH AHAHAHA

[Badmoon]

There's 114 pages, which I'm a regular in, so I should be aloud to ruin one.

[Against Miik!]

You think this is just a page? This is my life.

*Shoots self*

[PinkFloyd]

Feel Like Making Love, man that song is fawking halarious. It does really piss me off. It doesn't bother me when a kid truely likes a band thats cool man, regardless if it's Simple Plan or Pink Floyd, if you really like music I can respect your tastes.

But people who have been wearing Big Baggy Sweaters on year, then buy a skateboard and start listening to Punk the next, then start wearing Floyd and Zeppelin band shirts the next year, just piss me off. This isn't a case of diverse music tastes. This is a case of a bunch of kids jumping on the next bandwagon they see. These guys who have "converted" to classic rock, abandon their old musical tastes, (which I can't figure out for the life of my why they love a song one moment and hate it the next) and prance around as reformed rockers. They like your big name rock bands, IE: Zeppelin, Floyd, AC/DC, but as miik said before, ask them who Bad Company, Boston, Heart or anny less known Classic Rock band, they will be stumped. And the worst part is they don't even know more than 4 songs from the band.

"Hey man, name 5 Pink Floyd songs"

"Uh, time..money, the wall, uhhhh"

Ugh.

[guitrguy]

Ugh.
That is an issue that plagues us all.

[Against Miik!]

I would consider myself a real classic rock fan. I love and respect almost all things classic rock. My favorite bands stretch much further than just Zeppelin.

[Badmoon]

I just consider myself a critic. Nothing more, nothing less.

[guitrguy]

It really does get on my nevers when i see kids who where Led Zep shirts when I know for a fact the only song they know is stairway to heaven.
Edit: I'd say im a fan that respects his roots.

[PinkFloyd]

Hopefully this fad will float over just like the rap fad, the punk fad and they will start liking techno or something.

[guitrguy]

Hopefully.....

[VoodooChild]

I guess nobody likes my topic or my joke. I'll just go die...

[Badmoon]

I gave you huge laugh, and an advertisment/catchphrase.

[PinkFloyd]

Seriously, if you look into some of the Duff albums, there is some pretty psychedelic stuff.

[Schyma]

I used to be the only classic rock fan when I was 11 now all of a sudden its a fad. What the Hell is up with up that EH.

[Schyma]

Why doesn't Syd Barrett get mentioned when people are talking about Pink Floyd? He was much more impessive songwritter than Waters or Gilmore.

[Against Miik!]

He gets mentioned a lot. Find the greatest songwriter thread.

[Schyma]

I did and I was the only one who mentioned him.

[magicbus]

Not all classic rock. Just Zeppelin and Floyd and other really popular bands like that. Go ask your average teenager their favorite Bad Company song.

Right. That's why I hope its just a fad. I don't really like people who claim to like classic rock, and they don't know past the popular ones. Kinda makes me annoyed.

[magicbus]

Yea I'm pretty sure we talked about Syd already. Like on page 70.

[HendrixDoorsWhoZeppelin]

I'm a teenager and basically the only rock i listen to is classic rock. I don't see how anyone can really like heavy metal and new rock songs. Everyone should be enlightened by the greatest bands/artists of rock and roll history who are all classic rock bands.

1. The Beatles
2. Led Zeppelin
3. Jimi Hendrix
4. The Who
5. Rolling Stones
6. Bob Dylan
7. The Doors
8. Chuck Berry
9. Cream
10. Pink Floyd

[Badmoon]

He gets mentioned a lot. Find the greatest songwriter thread.


Zakath's gonna kill you.

[elmodman]

i would say my favorite classic band in pink floyd
their sound was so much ahead of their time

[RNR]

Why doesn't Syd Barrett get mentioned when people are talking about Pink Floyd? He was much more impessive songwritter than Waters or Gilmore.

I think because a lot of his stuff wasn't mainstream so not too many people know about it. He did some really trippy stuff :) trippy=goooood.

[RNR]

Zakath's gonna kill you.

Or he may just call him a faggot and pretend to destroy miik's mind with his magical powers, quote a few stupid powermetal songs and leave...

[RNR]

There i'm all caught up. No real conversation takes place when i'm not here. ;)

[ShineOnYouCrazyDiamond]

has anybody heard the greg kihn band? I heard them last night and they were pretty good

[Seafroggys]

Back two-three years ago, I loved Classic Rock, but like all these newbie pre-skaters now classic rock kiddies all around me, I only liked the 'popular' songs (even though I knew every single **** Beatle song).

When this fad came, I didn't want to get involved in it, so I stopped preaching classic rock, and tried desperatly to find a band I can get involved in and know a lot more about (and thus far I've failed) so I can be seperated from the trend.

Dammit, I liked it when it was all cool and stuff that I was one of a kind.

[MusicComesFirst]

man, I've always loved classic rock, I grew up on that stuff since I was born. Best there is.

Well there is nothing you can do about fads just listen to what you love, like the nirvana for example, every poser kid on earth swears that they a true nirvana fans, I still listen to them and over time these pain in the as s fads will pass.

[guitrguy]

true true

[themightyquinn]

I s'pose

[VoodooChild]

K, 2nd try...



I have a topic. Psychedelic groups. We HAVE to talk about them!

Strawberry Alarm Clock
The Chocolate Watchband
The Chambers Brothers
Iron Butterfly
Jefferson Airplane
Love
Moby Grape
Grateful Dead
Pink Floyd
Velvet Underground
The Doors
Steve Miller Band
Steppenwolf
Jimi Hendrix

[keep on phishin']

ive been wanting to get into psychadelia more. i have heard of and love most of the bands on your list.ive really been diggin all the psychadelic stuff lately like beefheart, grateful dead, and some moby grape, also the byrds are great as well. its a thing i just cant seem to get enough of.i dont know if i would call the beatles completely phychadelic but i suppose the stuff on magical mstery tour is quite psychadelic.

what are some good songs to get by strawberry alarm clock and the chocolate watchband?

[Schyma]

I wouldn't consider beefheart psychadelic. Oh and the Beatles created psychadellic rock.

[Badmoon]

^Beefheart is Psychedelic - Blues - Rock.

The Beatles didn't create Psychedelia. The Grateful Dead were basically the first.

[Schyma]

Right.... :thumb:

[Badmoon]

^Beefheart is Psychedelic - Blues - Rock.

But that's of course opinion, as is the rest. So, it depends on your perspective on it all. :)

[Schyma]

Expirimental blues is my perspective.

[Schyma]

Stooges anyone???

[fatstratboy]

hendrix is my fav the sounds he made with that guitar was crazy i started playing guitar cause of him

[fatstratboy]

how many hendrix fans are there........

[fatstratboy]

Stooges anyone???
Who are the stooges? :confused:

[fatstratboy]

Who are the stooges? :confused:
wait...maybe i don't want to know ;)

[fatstratboy]

ok ok, i admit it, i'm a classic rock nut. i love led zeppelin, the beatles, the who, eric clapton, the doors, and so on. most of the bands i listen to broke up years before i was born. at 17, nearly every song on my playlist is older than me. but is it just my imagination, or is classic rock experiencing sort of a revival. i am running into an increasing number of classic rock fans my age. at my school (an all boys high school), the school newspaper took a poll of everyone's favorite genre and band. led zeppeling got 5th and the beatles got 6th, behind that rap crap. classic rock made up a large percent of ppls favorite genre. is this just by me, or are other ppl noticing this too?

o and for u classic rock fans, the crime of the new century was that the Yardbirds new CD, Birdland, recieved no attention at all. that deserved a grammy, or 6.

so are there any other classic rock fans out there, and even if ur not, have u been noticing somewhat of a revival in interest for that sort of music?

i have some friends at school who play guitar like me i stick just to the classic stuff...before i played i use to like Linkin Park, Korn, all that crap. playing guitar changed me. i hoped that it would change them, but they still listen to slipknot and that crap but yet, they like hendrix and zeppelin too.

[Schyma]

They created the 1st real punk sound. besides velvet underground but I dont like Lou Reed

[Schyma]

You sound like a teen that just got into classic rock.

[Badmoon]

Stooges anyone???

MC5 > Stooges

But I love The Stooges. Self titled is good, but it gets kind of dull after awhile. Their other albums are great though. :)


I pulled out American Beauty today. What a perfect album.

Okay, so what's everyone's opinion on The Grateful Dead's American Beauty?

[Schyma]

The Grateful Dead........not a fan........lets get a good topic

[Badmoon]

No, The Grateful Dead are loved by pretty much all of us, but you.

[keep on phishin']

I for one on American Beauty can not find a single song that i dont like on it. my favorite song on it would be either ripple or friend of the devil. without a doubt it is my favorite studio album by the dead.

but i do think all the songs are definitely about a million times better performed live. but of course thats only my opinion. :)

[chazmaz11]

I love the stones.. i just have such a connection between richards/jagger!!! i love all their stuff, and also love their bluesy rock style... did any of you know that they got their name from a Muddy Waters song? Some of keith's solos are eargasmic, such as the one in gimme shelter, or sympathy for the devil.

[Badmoon]

My favorite track off of American Beauty, would have to be "Brokedown Palace" and "Sugar Magnolia" :).

[magicbus]

whoo hoo.

[Against Miik!]

No, The Grateful Dead are loved by pretty much all of us, but you.

Sorry to say, but i'm not a huge fan either.

[VoodooChild]

Grateful Dead were one of the bands that invented the sub-genre. There were some bands before and around same time as them that contributed.

Not a big fan of The Stooges but I do agree they were one of the first punky bands. Another pioneer band was Blue Cheer. They helped create the genre also.

Grateful Dead is a band pretty much displaying perfection. American Beauty is... just... wow! Favoritte song is definately "Box of Rain". It's just a masterpiece.

[zachenke]

Who would win in a boxing match: Page or God?

[Badmoon]

God, nobody can take God.

[zachenke]

God, nobody can take God.
It was a joke you downer


-Zac

[zachenke]

I mean...the correct answer is: HA! ITS A TRICK QUESTION! PAGE IS GOD!


-Zac

[VoodooChild]

WOW!!!









































































That was pretty hard to watch...

[Humor99]

American Beauty is such a relaxing album to listen to. "Sugar Magnolia", "Box of Rain", "Ripple", "Friend of the Devil" - all great stuff right there. I just wish I could find the CD of theirs with "Touch of Grey" on it, I love that song.

[Badmoon]

^ In the Dark :)


I also really like Workingman's Dead. I'm a bigger fan of their rootsier style than there Psychedelic style. Especially when they play Bluegrass, like on "Cumberland Blues".

[magicbus]

I think I will check out both aforementioned albums.

[Humor99]

Good stuff, I have a lot of Grateful Dead MP3s that I want to get albums for (so they're legal I guess). Really good pick-me-up band. :)

[scorchedguitar]

Lynyrd
Skynyrd all the way. My all time favorite band.

[Grantplus]

The doors

[magicbus]

Humor what would you recommend for a first album? or badmoon for that matter.

[B0nz0]

Humor what would you recommend for a first album? or badmoon for that matter.

yea i want to get into them more too. also i wanna get "music from big pink" by the band...

[Badmoon]

If you're talking about The Grateful Dead, then go for Workingman's Dead or American Beauty. I'd also reccomend you get the first self titled, but it's probably not the best album to be introduced to them buy.

[RNR]

American beauty is awesome. Truckin in one damn fine song :)

I got Jeff Healey band- "Feel this" today :D Only $6 and it was in great condition.


I'm also reading the beatles biography. They did some wild stuff before they got really popular :amaze:

[Badmoon]

I got Jeff Healey band- "Feel this" today Only $6 and it was in great condition.

Nice job :thumb: I'm going to go to the used CD today. Buy myself something with Warren Haynes, probably something with him in Phil Lesh and Friends.

[RNR]

Yeah, warren is awesome. Anything that he does is always top notch (of course the allmans are always top notch no matter what).

Did anybody else think Greg allman was black for a year before they bought an album by him? :( :shame:

[Badmoon]

No...

[RNR]

heh, I feel bad now. :upset: (of course without actually seeing him, and some of his solo stuff is pretty bluesy/jazzy I had no way of knowing.


SO how 'bout them beatles????

[Badmoon]

They play music :)

[RNR]

omg

[theclash91]

[Kashmir²]

[CUt heRE]

come on here! someones got to pay the devil his due and at least MENTION the cult (blue oyster cult)
I love Blue Oyster Cult!!! :thumb: They're actually on tour now, I wonder what that's like. Too bad the closest venue is 8 hours away.

Are there any prominent females in classic rock??? The only ones I can think of were those in the Velvet Underground

[Broken Arrow]

the closest venue to me is an hour away i think i'll go.

[RNR]

Are there any prominent females in classic rock??? The only ones I can think of were those in the Velvet Underground

Janis Joplin!

[Broken Arrow]

Stevie Nicks

[RNR]

Yeah i'd hit it :naughty: (and listen to it ;))

[ramblinjam]

Pink Floyd, Deep Purple, Zepplin, Halen, The Who, The Doors, Allman Bros, all created some of the best songs to date.

[Badmoon]

Grace Slick, Donna Jean Godchaux, ect...

[IAJP]

I love classic rock
quite simply, the best genre of music, created some classic bands, songs, albums, genre offshoots

brilliant.:)

[RNR]

^agreed :)

[Badmoon]

^Nice deleting/editing/bumping skills ;)

[RNR]

go me :D

So how 'bout them beatles? I read 150 pages of their biography in one day :D. Me>illiterate beatles fans.

[PinkFloyd]

Beatles seem like a decent band.

[Badmoon]

You say that like you've never heard The Beatles.

[RNR]

Beatles seem like an amazing band with timeless songs and helped launch a musical revolution with their songs, had millions of crazed fans and even out did their earlier stuff all through the 70s type band band.


I'll agree.

[Badmoon]

Today I passed by the opportunity to buy a Jeff Healy album.

[RNR]

^You're dead to me :angry:

:p

[Badmoon]

It was that or Blues Traveler live. Nothing's stopping me from buying Blues Traveler live. Plus, Healy's mullet didn't help.

[RNR]

:lol: all right then.

And I think the mullet's sexy ;)

[Badmoon]

They even cover War's "Low Rider" and John Lennon's "Imagine". Needless to say it's a crazy album.

[VoodooChild]

Which "Live"?

Live From the Fall (best one imo)
Live on the Rocks
Live: What You and I Have Been Through

[Badmoon]

Live from the Fall ;)

Kickass album.


I also bought...

Phil Lesh & Friends - There and Back Again (Fabulous)

&

Big Head Todd & The Monsters - Strategem (okay)

[VoodooChild]

Live From the Fall will melt your face off. Great pick!


There and Back Again, hmmm, I think I heard this album once. The only thing I remember is that Warren is on it and he puts on a jam session. I gotta buy it sometime soon...


Strategem, uh... er... Sister Sweetly is better...


Ah man, I can't think right now. I'm getting completaly lost in "Galactic"...

I....... have....... achieved........ nirvana......

[e_ratic]

OMG THE DARKNESS ARE SIMPLY AMAZING!! I'M A BRIT AND THEY HAVE RELEASED **** LOADS HERE, YOU GUYS JUST JUDGE THEM BY ONE VIDEO!!! OMFG THEIR ALBUMS RULES, AND KICKS THE **** OUTTA YOUR AMERICAN NEW ****!!

(Bare in mind, this is from a 14 year old who was brought up with classic rock :thumb: )

[StreetlightRock]

Lol, actually, i was over at HMV today, and they got these 'listening posts' where they got CDs inside this rack and you put the headphones on. Anyway, i pop a pair on, and without seeing the CD that was playing, i was like, hey this stuff isnt too bad. It was the darkness. =) Story of the day

DVG.

[Veteran of the psychic wars]

I love Blue Oyster Cult!!! :thumb: They're actually on tour now, I wonder what that's like. Too bad the closest venue is 8 hours away.



Wonder what they're like? I saw them in June. It was abso-f***ing-lutely amazing.
If you get half a chance to see them, go!

[Barrabus]

Classic rock is the music I listen to when I'm not listening to my usual bands. I think everyone gets into Black Sabbath after getting into Metallica, strange but awesome, how all the hard rockers all love Led Zeppelin and other stuff that was around before they were born. It's this undefined tradition.

Just making sure, is everyone familiar with the following bands?
Don Dokken
White Snake
The Scorpions
Poison
Venom
Tesla
MSG

These classical bands should be as well known as AC/DC and Def Lepard

[StreetlightRock]

Poison is more hair metal...

DVG.

[RNR]

I thought we were about classic rock/blues/folk some jazz, soul motown (if it comes up) maybe a little country rock and alternitive once in a while.

Not classic metal.

[Schyma]

British music>american music.

:amaze: I think we all knew that.

[Badmoon]

Hahahahahah

Yea right

When I ask for a British Blues band maybe, anything else...no

[RNR]

Canadian music>all

We have rush, and neil young and Jeff Healey! With healey we beat the hell out of the states and all of europe.:D

Yeah you have those guys, but I have two words for you...Bryan Adams. Oh and a few more, Avril Lavigne and Alanis Morssette. Am I forgetting any more crappiness? I'd say overall, Britian has the best music, ever.

[Badmoon]

Canada's music doesn't even compare to one of our states' music.

We have rush, and neil young and Jeff Healey! With healey we beat the hell out of the states and all of europe.

Three bands? Yea, you guys rule... :rolleyes: :p

Britian has never really been original. Most of them in the 60's were just blues - rock O). And now they they have some alternative and some Punk.

We have Rock, Punk, Metal, Alt, Blues, Bluegrass, Country, Folk, ect...

And have so many fabulous bands for each.

[Against Miik!]

Three bands? Yea, you guys rule... :rolleyes: :p


Haha yeah. The U.S. has umm Van Halen, Lynryd Skynryd, and.... I cant think of any more. Canada totally owns.

[Badmoon]

I'm hoping you're being sarcastic.

[Against Miik!]

Hey you know me. If I was being serious, why wouldn't I have mentioned the Allmans?

[RNR]

The US has the doors. I think. Uhh, umm grateful dead? (I think). The allmans. :amaze: anybody else? They have hendrix and the eagles.

[Against Miik!]

Well there are tons more great bands from all the countries, but the point is Brits still have it the best. And good call on the James Gang. Nobody ever says anything, yet everybody has heard Funk 49.

[RNR]

^i'll agree (then canada, we have Healey :thumb: ).

[Badmoon]

See, I look for originality, and a couple of big name bands like The Who, The Beatles, Led Zeppelin don't change my mind. We have a huge variety of Classic Rock, they really don't.

Can any of you even name the bands that make them superior?

And no offense, but musically Canada's kind of sad.

[RNR]

The Beatles!
And pink floyd.
Led Zeppelin
And eric clapton (cream too)
The Rolling Stones
The Yardbirds
Fleetwood Mac
Deep Purple
Jeff Beck
Yes
Supertramp
Dire Straits
Jethro Tull
The Who!!!!!!!!


Uhh yeah

[Undiscovered God]

Ive noticed a big uprise in classic rock in my school too. Ive always been a fan because thats what my parents pushed on me but even kids I know that used to listen to rap are starting to listen to AC\DC and such.

We've had this discussion before. I think I said to someone, ask some of those kids what there favorite Bad Company song is. Yeah, thats what I thought. It's just becoming a fad to like some of the more popular classic rock bands i.e. Led Zep and AC/DC.

[Badmoon]

Fleetwood Mac

Try again, they have Americans.

My list pwns yours

[PinkFloyd]

And no offense, but musically Canada's kind of sad.

Neil Young
Guess Who
Rush

Canada isn't all that bad. Plus all the best Classic Rocks bands are from England and some are US. But Neil Young owns them anyways.

[RNR]

Try again, they have Americans.

My list pwns yours
Buffalo springfield has a canadian! My list>your list. Plus I only put on the most well known bands.

Captain Beefheart
The Stooges
James Gang

These acts aren't as popular/well know (this isn't about personal taste) as bands like the grateful dead.

[magicbus]

Ok time to catch up:

I will check out American Beauty, thanks badmoon.
I prefer British Music over American Music, kinda indifferent with Canadian.
I like the Beatles.
Healy is blind so he probably doesn't know he has a mullet.

I don't recall us saying who has more well known bands.

[RNR]

I couldn't name very many more hugely popular bands.

Caaaaaaan you? I think not.

[RNR]

I don't recall us saying who has more well known bands.

Yeah well it should be. Only well known bands.

[Badmoon]

Is that a fact? You couldn't even come close to how many I can name.

[Against Miik!]

Or me, seriously.

[Badmoon]

Yeah well it should be. Only well known bands.

Popular > Good :rolleyes:

[RNR]

Is that a fact? You couldn't even come close to how many I can name.

Yes I know. But I could name all of the biggest bands. All of the biggest bands from both have already been named.

Maybe we should get an un-bias judge.

[Against Miik!]

Popular=Good

Before the days of corporate sell outs and playing for, well, not for the music anyways.

[RNR]

Popular > Good :rolleyes:

If this was about personal music taste it wouldn't work. By listing only big acts it can be fair.

[RNR]

Popular=Good

This is classic rock. In the time when only good bands got big (sorta, kiss comes to mind as an acception).

[Badmoon]

No, I won't be able to change your opinion, you can't change mine. No, judge can decide who's better either, because he'll have a favorite which probably can't be changed either.

[RNR]

Fine. Anyway I like both. Just british bands in general i like a little bit more. yes i'm aware 3 out of 5 of the bands in my avatar are american, i'd like dvg to add some more bands but he died or something :eek:

[Badmoon]

This is classic rock. In the time when only good bands got big (sorta, kiss comes to mind as an acception).

No, most think that, but it's usually not true. Disco, Soul, Motown, Contemporary Folk, ect...Those usually ran the mainstream.

[Against Miik!]

No, most think that, but it's usually not true. Disco, Soul, Motown, Contemporary Folk, ect...Those usually ran the mainstream.

I wasn't alive then, but I usually think of Disco and and all that as like crappy rap and all that today. Hopefully, rock will win the war again, but people listen to both now as long as its on MTV, so there isn't really a war.

[RNR]

Uhh yeah. hmmmm... :(

Disco was closer to pop. However it reminds me of mtv rap, All pretty much the same. Appealing music for the masses. Also the "dance club" music. As hip hop and rap are now.

[Badmoon]

Uhh yeah. hmmmm... :(

But of course The Beatles, Elvis, ect. Where mainstream.

[magicbus]

Yep.

[Broken Arrow]

What about April Wine Canadian and underrated.

[JDMorrisonisGOD]

Kids are startin to get into classic rock alot more, because they realize how ****ty the new rock is. The best (current) rock band according to the media, is Linkin Park. They suck nuts, they are all electric, hardly any true musicianship. the true best rock band of recent times is red hot chili peppers who have goten alot more mellow but are still kickin ***. Kids realize that no one now days plays guitar like hendrix, or page, or clapton, no one on drums like bonham, music is crap now days.

[StreetlightRock]

Moo. Im still alive! Dude, just tell me what ya need! ill try an do it. Oh yea, i reckon brit music is better. All round. Black Sabbath + Iron Maiden, masters of metal, Pink Floyd, masters of the phyc, Beatles...

DVG.

[Badmoon]

Most of Pink Floyd's stuff isn't psychedelic, and I think it's freaky how people label Syd Barret as a fabulous writer. "I've got a bike you can ride it if you'd like", how is that good? Plus they didn't even invent the genre.

Breaking Classic Rock barriers ehh?



(with Healy on the C.r avatar)

[RNR]

What do you mean rock barriers?

[Badmoon]

Classic Rock, or you're changing things up for the genre. Being that Healy isn't exactly Classic Rock, but it doesn't matter :)

[RNR]

His first 2 albums were on vinyl so it counts. :thumb:. 1985 is classic enough.

[Badmoon]

You Can't Change The Rules!!!!!

[RNR]

There are no rules! ;) 1985 is classic. Healey is classic. Unless you're going write some rules for what makes a classic rock band healey is classic.

Got it? goooooood

kthxbye :wave:

Uhh yeah.

I like the doors :)

[Badmoon]

I like the doors

You're being irrelevant, YOU'RE BREAKING THE RULES!!!!!

[RNR]

I have nothing to say to a doors hater :mad:

[guitrguy]

lol he doors are good man

[Badmoon]

I like The Doors (Not irrelevant anymore)

[RNR]

w00t. Thry're so trippifying. Sorta, yeah. Roadhouse blues kicks ***.

[Schyma]

Tell all the people is a great underated Doors song. Why is it never talked about?

[guitrguy]

because its underrated lol

[RNR]

^well said.

[Badmoon]

:lol:

[Jarod]

lol i was gona post a topic about classic rock before i saw this one :lol:

[rooqster]

Well really tho, where else do you see music theory unfold in the most beautiful way... modern rock???? r ya ****in kiddin me????..... Classic rock isthe ****, those who dont like it are the ones who can't play it... simple as that....

Earlier.. I saw a thread by someone that said classic rock sucked... I wanted to post him a nice little reply, but I hadnt signed up as a member, and then i couldnt find the thread...

So here I am... a newbie... My name is Farooq... aka rooqster...

^Thou speaketh thy truth (ith).

[Badmoon]

That's a good reason to join :thumb:

[PinkFloyd]

The doors are good. But for one, I just can't see why so many people are making Morrison out to be a lyrical genius.

[Badmoon]

Is lyrics were just good, they had many deep meanings, odd topics, and were just outrageous. I can see why people don't like them though.

[PinkFloyd]

Maybe I'm a Doors noobie, but I just haven't heard anything that great from him lyrically. Alot of the were great songs, don't get me wrong, alot of cool blues jams and stuff but the lyric was simple blues. Riders on the Storm and The Hitchhiker are show great lyric but other than that I just don't see it.

Can anybody care to point me to some other tunes where his "genius" lies?

[obwf1]

i love classic rock. its so much better than the new stuff. jet is pretty close to the good stuff. classic rock saved my life. i used to listen to boy band stuff, very sad. and then came along kiss and i was saved. thank you rock n roll :thumb:

I wouldn't take it that far...

Thanks, I'll look into it, rock not roll

[PinkFloyd]

I would. Look: Both can't write worth a ****. But atleast Boy Bands have better vocal talent.

[RNR]

^ I guess. And they can dance. I liked 98 degrees and the backstreet boys back in the day...

[PinkFloyd]

^hahaah

[RNR]

Back i nthe day of being 8 years old and not getting into good music yet!

All though at the same time I liked boybands and pop music, I also liked Tom Petty :cool:

[PinkFloyd]

I was a Def Leppard fan at 8. And I thought that was embarassing... Although I supposed "I won't backdown" by Tom Petty is a decent song.

[RNR]

They are all good :angry:

[PinkFloyd]

Sure... :D

[magicbus]

I miss it all.

[Badmoon]

Back i nthe day of being 8 years old and not getting into good music yet!

All though at the same time I liked boybands and pop music, I also liked Tom Petty :cool:

I was a Beach Boys fan, and a Blues Traveler fan. My mom played The Beach Boys, and my dad played Blues Traveler.

Though, if someone asked if I was into music, I'd say no. But if I had to pick my favorite bands then, it'd probably be those two..

[Badmoon]

Boy Bands > Kiss

See, I like Kiss. And after having to defend my liking so much. I came to the conclusion that people put too much emphasis on why you like a band. I really can't explain why I really like them (Well, not to a great extend). I am just simply attracted to their music.

Is anyone else like that with other bands?

[StreetlightRock]

RnR, ill get round to doing ye avatar sometime =)

And about Pink Floyd, it wasnt just about the music! It was about the emotion and the feeling and the attitude that went along with it! I think its hard to listen to a PF song and not go, 'ye gods, this is magical'. Sure they invent the genre or whatever, but these guys are gods! Have you seen the PULSE DVD? Its so friggin phyc its crazy.

And yea, i got a few bands i like although i dont know why, like the sex pistols, the vandals and the exploited. Mostly punk bands.

ohoh, the Eagles are coming to town 8)

DVG.

[Muesli Bar]

Classic Rock is definately one ofthe coolest things ever, The Eagles, Clapton, The Who, Pink Floyd...The list goes on and on

[Paranoidd]

I'm back from Italy!

God CD's are SO expensive. I did pick up a nice little box set of the first 3 Velvet Underground albums, remastered, for 15 Euros (about 30 Canadian dollars).

New CD's go as high as 30 euros! Crazy...

[Badmoon]

Welcom back :)

You missed some good discussion and one or two fights.

[Paranoidd]

Fights are always good.

I hate German airlines too...argh. I wanted to punch out a flight attendant for yelling at me for asking for tea...but I digress.

Here is my somewhat classic rock story about Italy :)

So I'm in my town (3 hours south east of Rome) which isn't a BIG town, but as far as small towns go, its a decent size. Now I went because it was our "festa" (feast) which is basically a big party for the whole town. They apparently had some bands playing, which I figured would be shyte. I shouldn't have made assumptions. I was already impressed looking at the setup because the drum kit seemed to be fairly large, so I was naturally assuming the band would be good, but I also figured they'd be playing some bog-standard Italian music (which I don't like).

Then I saw couple decent looking guitars...a nice semi-hollow gibson electric (very old) and what I think was a roland g10 (which I can't even begin to describe, you gotta look it up). Anyways I'm still assuming its going to suck, but then the guitar player comes out with a beautiful white gibson SG doubleneck and proceeds to play a 15 minute solo (well after 10 minutes the drummer came out and played with him), but I tell you, the only word that kept flashing through my mind was "Zeppelin" because he sounded exactly like Page...it was such a beautiful composition and arrangement, and after the drummer joined him, I was practically drooling.

Unfortunately, he didn't play anything else like that for the rest of the set, because they were a jazz band (although a very, very good one).

I just did not expect anything like that in my town...all the old people were covering their ears :lol:

I wish I had recorded it :(

Thats the only good music related story I have. One of those little things I'll remember forever.

[PaintballJunkie]

Classic rock is at this point still the riegning genre of music to me, you can here the bands actual want to create good music and not make a quick buck. I agree with alot of you that the beatles are one of the greatest bands of the 60's, but not everyone likes em as much as, zeppelin, the doors, floyd, but everyone should give them respect for what they did for music. If only someone could bring back the sound of the 60's, 70's and 80's, but in many ways the music indusrty of today wont allow things like that to happen, hell i bet neil young wouldnt be able to get a recording contract just because hes sort of an ugly guy, which is why i dont really pay attention to what music comes out now adays cause alot of the time right from the get go the actual music is made second priority. just thought id give my 2 cents, and by the way for anyone who just thinks that Blind Melon is a one hit wonder (which they were) download or buy some of there music and youll find that they were a band that sounded like Lynrd Skynrd and Zeppelin in some ways, and yes people are starting to realize half the music of today sucks and are reverting back to classic rock. :wave:

[Paranoidd]

Blind Melon was awesome.

[Badmoon]

Blind Melon's great. Some of there heavier songs remind me off The Grateful Dead + Soundgarden. I learned "No Rain" last night, btw.
