Classic Rock

[Paranoidd]

I learned the riff from no rain by accident while just playing random notes.

I love when that happens, such a cool feeling :D

[magicbus]

Welcome back Paranoidd. Saw you in the "classic hate" forum. Had to justify. Those crazy kids. Hope your trip was good!

Guess what I learned yesterday! Play along with Crossroads in A minor or A major and it sounds good! This works on blues songs! Yea! Guitar!

[Paranoidd]

I don't know the difference between minor or major...lol

Man I need to learn some music theory :(

[my5thname]

i dont like classic rock, read all the hate i recieved in the thread
Is it just me or does classic rock suck.
Youll see all the love i get :lol:

[Paranoidd]

Alex Lifeson is cool.

Interview with Epiphone:

EPI: Are there any modern groups that you like or listen to?

ALEX: I've always been a huge fan of Tool. They haven't done anything in a while now but Adam Jones is a great guitarist. I really like his style of playing and they remind me of us in some ways. I know that we've been somewhat of an influence on them so I can hear that exchange in their music. Queens of the Stone Age, I really like a lot. Incubus, Mars Volta, you know that sort of thing. I don't really listen to a whole lot of music lately though.

Good taste in music :D

Ok. 1) if you hate classic rock, why are you in the kind of *unofficial* classic rock thread
&
2) It wasn't love. It was flaming. Huge amassive amouts of flaming.

[MalcolmYoungRock]

Oh and there was a The Who concert at the Hollywood bowl and guess who got to go???
















my friend :upset:

[RNR]

Ha, I never get to go to concerts. Or, very few od them :(

That's why concert dvds are awesome :thumb:

This isn't the classic rock hating thread. This is the classic rock liking thread. Don't post in here again.

[Against Miik!]

O.k. then how about a new band? Who likes Funkadelic?

[magicbus]

Right now I'm listening to some good old Alice Cooper, Bad Company, and The Eagles. And it feels greeeat.

I saw the Eagles live this summer...orgasmic.

Nice. I'm listening to Eric Clapton-pilgrim. My god it's so laid back and peaceful. :) :) ;) ;) :amaze: :)

[RNR]

yuppers

[niconico]

Im listening to the beatles :):):):):):)

[Badmoon]

Tommorow, I'm making my way to the Rock n Roll hall of fame :)

[Against Miik!]

Dude, visit me.

[Badmoon]

I'm going there for only one night

[Mekkalayakay]

*hums "When I'm 64"* :eek:

[Against Miik!]

Hmm, well maybe I will stop by and hold up a sign by the entrance. Im not paying 17$ to go in again.

[PinkFloyd]

Fly at Night is a good song :cool:

[Badmoon]

Hmm, well maybe I will stop by and hold up a sign by the entrance. Im not paying 17$ to go in again.

I may not even go exactly tommorow, possibly the next day. :p :wave: :p

[Against Miik!]

I may not even go exactly tommorow, possibly the next day. :p :wave: :p

Ok I get it. Ill just stay home :upset:

[Badmoon]

:lol:

[RNR]

Owned by means of rock and roll :thumb: :smash:

Clapton is king. Of of people who's initials are EC.

[MalcolmYoungRock]

Muwahahaha told you. Clapton is god.

[MalcolmYoungRock]

So.... Van Halen concert august 19th.... :)

[lunch998]

Yea the live version of Spoonful from Wheels of Fire agrees with you guys.

I hope we can keep the idiots out of here. I really don't feel like hearing about modest mouse.

[MalcolmYoungRock]

Hopefully, they're not intelligent enought to use the "New Posts" button or the search bar.

[RNR]

We have superpeer's blessing. If any idiot comes in here i'll just tell superpeer and he goes bye bye to the land of the dicarded acounts (banned).

And I like modest mouse :(

[Kingofdudes]

So.... Van Halen concert august 19th.... :)

September 5th for me(or 9th). My parents know some people that may be able to get us some back stage passes. Can you say kickass?

[lunch998]

Sorry,I couldn't think of a crappy example band that we talked about in the other thread.'


Edit: And thankyou Rock not Roll for leading us into hear. Where I can be with my own kind.

[RNR]

I've been to their current show. And yes I can say kickass. Although it's not as good as it was back in the 90s.

[MalcolmYoungRock]

*in the words of eric cartman* KICK***!

[RNR]

:eek: EC! Let's take a vote. Eric Cartmen or Eric Clapton?

[MalcolmYoungRock]

dang im so horrible at this :upset:

[MalcolmYoungRock]

oh man...this is a toughie.....i'd say clapton.

[SkaRobotArmy]

Cartman > Clapton

[lunch998]

That is a tough one. I like music more than TV so Eric Clapton.

[SkaRobotArmy]

i do actually respect clapton though, hes another 'classic' guy whos good. Leeeiilllllllaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

[lunch998]

Yea he's still real good today too.

[Kingofdudes]

Im thinking of getting into some Cream, anyone recommend any albums?

[Badmoon]

Get yourself Wheel's of Fire. Or a best of album.

[lunch998]

Wheels of Fire rules. Actually I like all their albums. The 'best of' is probably the best idea, but it doesn't have Rollin' and Tumblin', Toad, or Cat's Squirrel which are my favorite songs off Fresh Cream.

[Jarod]

Im thinking of getting into some Cream, anyone recommend any albums?

haha me too.. im also sampling rush but iunno if i like em or not..

[the mighty zep]

Youll love rush...trust me.

Listen songs like Tom Sawyer
YYZ
Working Man (kick *** Solo)
Spirit of Radio

and then your on your own

I suggest getting Moving Pictures first. great Album. Chronicles also has some good songs on it for a bets hits. Feedback wasnt good at all so no matter how cheap, dont get it.

[-=The_Dude=-]

Im thinking of getting into some Cream, anyone recommend any albums?
get "the very best of Cream" i love it, its all you need

[lunch998]

Yea overall it is really great. Tales of Brave Ulysses.....incredible.

[the mighty zep]

get "the very best of Cream" i love it, its all you need

yes i have that, all you need.

Crossroads is probably gonna be one of the best songs youll ever hear

[lunch998]

The guitar solo sends shivers up my spine. It's so good.

[RNR]

get "the very best of Cream" i love it, its all you need

If he really wants to get into cream than a best of just wont cut it. But that should be the first one he gets.

[lunch998]

Yea, what happened to me was I got the best of, then I ended up buying all their albums. So I never listen to the best of anymore.

[Mekkalayakay]

I just downloaded Babe I'm Gonna Leave You by Led Zeppelin and wow...I love this song. Such a beautiful acoustic melody. :eek:


*n00b to all this 1337 talk about classical rock*

[the_bandit_ta]

I love classic rock because a lot of it seems more raw and emotional than the newer processed stuff. The first badn I really got into was the Guess Who. Then I discovered Zeppelin and now I own all their albums (all gold :thumb: ). I definately recomend The Velvet Underground for preople looking for somthing different. If you want to write lyrics you should own tons of Dylan (I mean really listen to him). I'm not a huge Beatles fan though, and I've tried to get into them. I'd rather the Stones or the Who any day.

[Jarod]

bump ;)

[PinkFloyd]

I recommend Fly At Night by Chiliwak.

[Seafroggys]

I hate the greatest hits concept. They're never the best songs anyway.

I found this out with The Beatles. My 10 favorite songs aren't even on the 1 album, and I think there's only several songs on there I really like (basically, let it be, day tripper, and something).

So I tend to stay away from Greatest Hits, kids just get that and they're like "Yeah, they're cool man" but they don't know any of the other goodies that never saw it big.

That's why it'll take me forever to amass a decent classic rock collection ;)

Going back to the Beatles 1 CD, lets take a look at each single, the A side that made it to #1, and the better B side that didn't (well, the whole concept is a flop; the Beatles first #1 was Please Please Me, which isn't on the album, and Love Me Do peaked at #17).

Paperback Rider/Rain: PR is good, but Rain is just badass.

Penny Lane/Strawberry Fields Forever: Is this really a contest? What's so great about Penny Lane? Way too bouncy and happy. SFF is one of the best songs of all time. Why can't people like Lennon's music? Argh!

All You Need is Love/Baby You're a Rich Man: This is about the same. I love the lyrics in AYNiL, but BYaRM has better music. Sorta a tossup.

Hello, Goodbye/I am the Walrus: Hello Goodbye was good, but I am the Walrus is just a plain classic.

Lady Madonna/The Inner Light: Lady Madonna isn't my cup of tea. Inner Light is one of the more beautiful Beatle songs....George's first single too!

Hey Jude/Revolution: Hey Jude is fine and dandy and all, but, c'mon, Revolution! Its so spiffy and badass, I don't know what else to say.

Get Back/Don't Let me Down: Get Back has gotten real old with me. Don't Let me Down seems a lot mellower and more boring but I dig it a lot more.

Anyway, what I'm trying to say is, don't get a Greatest Hits CD. Just get the individual albums. It'll be more worth your while.

[PinkFloyd]

Yup^

[Bertha Cobain]

The Who are one of the most amazing bands ever

[PinkFloyd]

Yes

[ZeppelinMan30]

Hey does anyone here listen to big brother &the Holding Co.? And by the way why did no one mention disreali gears to that dude lookin for cream.

[MostRapIsCrap]

Hell Yeah. Finally some of my people. I can't stand new music. Old school classic rock is the way to go. Zeppelin b****es!!!!!

[ZeppelinMan30]

Zeppelin what? I can't ****ing read it because it is ****ing censored

[StreetlightRock]

Rn'r, its too big to have all the pictures on.... i'll have to take one off for the forum to allow it on. Gar. anyway, yea, pick one to get rid of *sigh*

DVG.

[Paranoidd]

Hey does anyone here listen to big brother &the Holding Co.? And by the way why did no one mention disreali gears to that dude lookin for cream.

Big Brother 0wns. Even the stuff they did without Janis is good.

But someone was asking about Rush, and he got recommended some bad songs.

Almost anything Rush did after signals was not on par with their previous records.

Caress of Steel, Rush, their early stuff, its got a straight-forward Zeppelinesque vibe to it. Their 70's stuff like 2112, A Farewell to Kings was simply AMAZING. That is their best period. Signals, Moving Pictures, still great albums. I still like their prog stage the best. The musicianship...amazing.

[Badmoon]

Hey does anyone here listen to big brother &the Holding Co.? And by the way why did no one mention disreali gears to that dude lookin for cream.

Boy! I was listening to Big Brother before anyone here knew who they were. That actually may be true. :p

[B0nz0]

hey guys, sorry i haven't been a regular poster these days. i'm busy getting ready for college, i leave monday. however this weekend i'm seeing peter frampton, and deep purple w/ joe satriani and thin lizzy. it's gonna be a danm good weekend. ooo and i'm getting tickets for one of bruce's anti bush concerts in october. pretty pumped about that as well. the e-street band is amazing live.

also what are your thoughts on santana? i personally love him. he's an excellent guitarist, but my favorite part of his band would def be his rythem section, his percussionists are amazing... listen to michael shrieve's solo on "soul sacrifice" live at woodstock, and the other percussing done by the 2 percussionists... simply amazing.

[lunch998]

Boy! I was listening to Big Brother before anyone here knew who they were. That actually may be true. :p

Yea I listen to them I like them a lot.

[Humor99]

I'm sure Bob Dylan's been mentioned before, but I'm going to bring him up again.

Anyone else think he's absolutely brilliant? I have Highway 61 Revisited, Blonde on Blonde, and Blood on the Tracks, and while his lyrics can be a bit out there I always feel like I'm listening to a genius. Everything fits, and everything sounds so good together.

Anyone else feel the same? Favorite Dylan album(s)?

[Badmoon]

Same here. My favorite albums are Bring it All Back Home, and Freewheelin'. I actually like almost each song on those albums. Though I find "Masters of War"s lyrics to be a little shakey at times.

also what are your thoughts on santana? i personally love him. he's an excellent guitarist, but my favorite part of his band would def be his rythem section, his percussionists are amazing... listen to michael shrieve's solo on "soul sacrifice" live at woodstock, and the other percussing done by the 2 percussionists... simply amazing.

His playing and especially his tone are fantastic. And I also find that his rythm section adds a whole lot to the whole music.

[theHendrixExperience]

dude i go to an all guys school too lol
any way
Jimi Hendrix
The Doors
The Beatles
The Who
Queen
The Stones

[B0nz0]

His playing and especially his tone are fantastic. And I also find that his rythm section adds a whole lot to the whole music.

yes, i especially love the incorporation of latin beats. and he's still turning out good work, i mean supernatural, that was a fantastic album. except the rap song...

bob dylan, i have to say i like blonde on blonde. i think his best lyrics can be found in the song positively fourth street. simply amazing lyrics...

[RNR]

Rn'r, its too big to have all the pictures on.... i'll have to take one off for the forum to allow it on. Gar. anyway, yea, pick one to get rid of *sigh*

DVG.

Take off zeppelin and Van halen then.

[RNR]

I'm listening to BTO's greatest hits. :cool:

[B0nz0]

i'm listening to steve miller's greatest hits. what are your thoughts on him?

[RNR]

Steve miller band rocks, from what i've heard. :thumb:

[Paranoidd]

I'm listening to BTO's greatest hits. :cool:

Word to Canadians :D

[B0nz0]

who drums for steve miller? he's quite good whoever he is. love his grooves on take the money and run and fly like an eagle. and space cowboy is REALLY good

[Blackdog8901]

Try "Shubada Du Ma Ma"
Pretty cool Drumming

[Schyma]

I'm sure Bob Dylan's been mentioned before, but I'm going to bring him up again.

Anyone else think he's absolutely brilliant? I have Highway 61 Revisited, Blonde on Blonde, and Blood on the Tracks, and while his lyrics can be a bit out there I always feel like I'm listening to a genius. Everything fits, and everything sounds so good together.

Anyone else feel the same? Favorite Dylan album(s)?

Dude you just named the best ones. Dylan is probabally the best song writter ever.(Besides Robert Johnson)

[RNR]

^I'd say he's the best lyrics writer. Which is why so many people cover his songs but make them sound like their own. Just amazing lyrics.

[Against Miik!]

Robert Johnson was amazing. Whos has seen Crossroads?

[Badmoon]

I think Dylan's a way better writer than Johnson. But obviously Johnson's a way better musician.

I prefer Robert Hunter/Jerry Garcia, particularly Hunter, because he wrote most of them. And Pete Townshend.

[Broken Arrow]

Has anyone heard of Booker T and the MGs and/or The Ventures

I love the song everything is broken by Bob Dylan

[RNR]

I prefer Robert Hunter/Jerry Garcia, particularly Hunter, because he wrote most of them. And Pete Townshend.

Pete Townshend's lyrics are great. :). Remember when you were doing that great classic rock writers list? is that done?

[Badmoon]

I gave up.

Mainly because I realized that most ignorant posters will just vote Jimmy Page.

[Broken Arrow]

I'd vote for Roger Waters

[RNR]

Yeah waters was definitly one of the best lyric writers.

[Paranoidd]

I've always been partial to Neil Peart of Rush.

Or Lou Reed from The Velvet Underground. He was a great songwriter, period.

[Kingofdudes]

I gave up.

Mainly because I realized that most ignorant posters will just vote Jimmy Page.

omit Page then :thumb:

[Jarod]

bizump

[themightyquinn23]

I'm back after being banned for no apparent reason. Anyway, Jim Morrison and Bob Dylan are the two greatest lyricists ever, period.

[highwaychild]

I dont think there will ever be a band as good as the beatles because they had three songwriters


all 4 of the beatles wrote songs, john, paul, goerge and ringo all wrote songs dude, get your facts straight son

[magicbus]

get "the very best of Cream" i love it, its all you need

Thats the one I have. I absolutely love it. I've been listening to it straight since I've got it, like 4 weeks ago.

Also Clapton is greater than Cartman. By Far. Clapton is the best.

And I already saw Van Halen in July. And don't feel like reading the rest of the pages.

[highwaychild]

Jimmy Page is one of the greatest writers of all time, no tTHE but one of, he was led zeppelin, and did so much work for the yardbirds, its unreal. had it not been for jimmy page there would be no led zeppelin.

[Cygnus-X1]

you have not lived till you have seen rush live :amaze:

[BillCosby]

you have not lived till you have seen David Bowie live :amaze:

Fixed.

[magicbus]

Fixed.

I missed him :upset:

Any news on whether his heart is better? Haven't heard in a while.

[Jarod]

i heard ac/dc has a new song out but it sucks... is that true?

[RNR]

i heard ac/dc has a new song out but it sucks... is that true?

If you want to compare it to Thunderstruck and back in black it sucks. It's all right.

[Badmoon]

I was going to put these guys.

Bob Dylan
John Lennon/Paul McCartney
Pete Townshend
Robert Hunter/Jerry Garcia
Lou Reed
Stephen Stills
Roger Waters
Jimmy Page

[magicbus]

Roger Waters is my favorite methinks.

[RNR]

I suggested Neil young but badmoon hates canadians and turned it down. Or something like that. I just made up my own reason... :(

[Badmoon]

No, I just find he's not as good as them.

[RNR]

That's a lot better than hating canadians :)

[Paranoidd]

Boo to the Canadian hating.

Rush is Canadian...and...uh...BTO....and....did I mention Rush?

[RNR]

BTO
Rush
Neil Young
April wine
The Tragically Hip
Bryan Adams
The Band
Tom Cochrane
The Guess Who

Canada has some great bands.

[Badmoon]

I don't care for Rush. And you forgot Joni Mitchel, and Rick James.

[Jarod]

buuuump... even though this thread is dying bummmppp

[StreetlightRock]

I know Brooker T and the MGs... some cool songs, me fav would be Green Onions =). The Blues Brothers covered that song, heh. And then theres Philly Dog, which is also a cool song. They can get a 'lil slow and mellow tho. And as to Santana, i love him, his rythm section does rule. But the way he play his music, its just so... cool. I dunno. And i like it how he works with a few pop artists as well, puts some intresting on the mainstream, like Smooth, and that one with that chick, forgot her name.

DVG.

[thelizardkingcc]

I was going to put these guys.

Bob Dylan
John Lennon/Paul McCartney
Pete Townshend
Robert Hunter/Jerry Garcia
Lou Reed
Stephen Stills
Roger Waters
Jimmy Page

where in gods name is jim morrison?! (p.s. robby krieger is a great songwriter too, since he wrote light my fire, love her madly and many others, some of which were #1 hits like those two.) Although no one really can touch the beatles in terms of number one hits, that doesnt mean theyre the most talented.

[B0nz0]

he did not write light my fire. it was a cover. it was written by Jose Feliciano, you know the guy who wrote feliz navidad. just thought i'd pawn u for trying to pawn badmoon. i'll be accepting your thank you anytime now badmoon.

[B0nz0]

and the best lyrical song writers are
bob dylan
lennon/mccartney
george harrison
page/plant
morrison

[B0nz0]

buuuump... even though this thread is dying bummmppp
and this thread is not dying

[IAJP]

Mainly because I realized that most ignorant posters will just vote Jimmy Page.
I wonder if that was directly aimed at me?
:rolleyes:

[lunch998]

Yea I always though Page/Plants lyrics were pretty good, but lately everyone has been ragging on them. I think it's "Come up with a lame reason why Zeppelin isn't great" month.

[themightyquinn23]

Hmm, well maybe I will stop by and hold up a sign by the entrance. Im not paying 17$ to go in again.
I'll join you! :lol:

[guitrguy]

Yea I always though Page/Plants lyrics were pretty good, but lately everyone has been ragging on them. I think it's "Come up with a lame reason why Zeppelin isn't great" month.
Its another idoitic fad to not like Led Zeppelin.

[lunch998]

Yea, it's really stupid and annoying though.

[BillCosby]

morrison

Seconded x 10,000

[StreetlightRock]

Oh yea, Paranoid, Tool are awsome. I only recently got into them. There really good to like blanck out to. I cna sit on my bed, stare up at the celing and lsiten to them without anything to do, and its good. I dunno, they have this mystical feel to them. Maynards vocie is jsut so... ek. i dunoo how to descirbe it. Its like hes going to break out shouting at any moemnet but he dosnt. keeps you on Edge.

DVG.

[Paranoidd]

^^^

Word to that. :D

Have you heard their cover of "No Quarter"?

[StreetlightRock]

Actually no i havnt.... Will get now...

DVG.

[Badmoon]

I wonder if that was directly aimed at me?
:rolleyes:

No, it's fine if you vote for Jimmy Page. I just hope you would know the other writers on the list.

[Badmoon]

Yea I always though Page/Plants lyrics were pretty good, but lately everyone has been ragging on them. I think it's "Come up with a lame reason why Zeppelin isn't great" month.

HEY!! I was ragging on LEd Zeppelin before it was a fad. And I did include him on the list, didn't I?

And everyone keep in mind I wouldn't be able to fit many entries. Jim Morrison, Brian Wilson, Joni Mitchel, George Harrison, ect. There's no room!!

[Humor99]

George Harrison is a great songwriter, I love his solo stuff (especially on All Things Must Pass and Cloud Nine). "Something", "Here Comes the Sun", "Isn't it A Pity" are all great songs.

Bob Dylan has become one of my favorite musicians, simply for his brilliance. He may not have been a great singer all the time, but he had a way with words that kind of made you forget that.

Jim Morrison was a great poet too, interesting images he created and groovy beats.

I like Roger Waters, interesting insight on the human pysche and such. Haunting lyrics a lot of the time too.

I also fancy Axl Rose and Izzy Stradlin' - their work with Guns N' Roses was quite good, especially the ballads like "November Rain", "Estranged", "Don't Cry", and "Patience."

[B0nz0]

but there's no contest for #1. i mean come on. it's obviously dylan.

people who haven't been mentioned a lot though:
Paul Simon
Brian Wilson
Pete Townshend
Crosby
Stills
Nash
Young

[Badmoon]

I don't care for all of Dylan's lyrics. I think Townshend's equal. And I'm guessing most of you have never heard Robert Hunter. He beats them all.

If my words did glow with the gold of sunshine
And my tunes were played on the harp unstrung
Would you hear my voice come through the music
Would you hold it near as it were your own?

It's a hand-me-down, the thoughts are broken
Perhaps they're better left unsung
I don't know, don't really care
Let there be songs to fill the air


(Chorus)


Ripple in still water
When there is no pebble tossed
Nor wind to blow


Reach out your hand if your cup be empty
If your cup is full may it be again
Let it be known there is a fountain
That was not made by the hands of men


There is a road, no simple highway
Between the dawn and the dark of night
And if you go no one may follow
That path is for your steps alone


(Chorus)

You who choose to lead must follow
But if you fall you fall alone
If you should stand then who's to guide you?
If I knew the way I would take you home

Those are fabulous.

[Humor99]

Robert Hunter, didn't he write for Grateful Dead?

[Badmoon]

Yeah, usually alongside Garcia.

[Paranoidd]

I'm saying it again, Lou Reed.

[Paranoidd]

Actually, I think even David Bowie deserves a good mention. I'm a fan of his stuff.

[Humor99]

Yeah, usually alongside Garcia.
He had some good lyrics like "Box of Rain", "Touch of Grey", "Ripple", and the like. I just personally prefer Dylan's.

Then again, I don't think I've heard as much Dead as you probably have.

[RNR]

HEY!! I was ragging on LEd Zeppelin before it was a fad. And I did include him on the list, didn't I?


It's the fact that you actually explained why you didn't like them that made it all right :)

And I haven't seen too many people ragging on zeppelin.

[RNR]

BUMP!

You guys do 30 posts in this thread while I sleep. But when i'm awake nothing :angry:

I was brought up on classic rock and wouldn't trade it for any of the modern crap!

although i dont like the stuff, many guys at my school are into classic rock

[Badmoon]

it ain't that good a line...

WHY ARE PEOPLE ACKNOWLEDGING I EXIST!

I'M ONLY A DRUMMER!!!


SHUT THE **** UP FAT MAN!!!!!!


















:D

[RNR]

I'll have to agree.

[Badmoon]

Get the hell outta here ya crazy canuck.

;)

[The Wall]

Classic Rock is the only reason i play guitar... i'll admit theres some really cool metal riffs and stuff but i don't like to play that...

My main guitar influence is jimi hendrix and also david gilmour from pink floyd..i remember i saw him in 1994 at teh division bell concert and i was only 5 but i still loved it and have been listening to pink floyd for almost 11 years now and many other classic rock bands for 5+years now too

[RNR]

I think badmoon got hijacked :eek:

[Badmoon]

We need something to make this thread funner. Someone come up with a list, or game we can all play and interact with.

[Against Miik!]

Well there are only like 4 or 5 people who post in here regularly. I'm not sure what we could do...

[RNR]

How about rate the classic rock riff (guitar, bass or a well known drum roll or fill) above you?

[Badmoon]

I think badmoon got hijacked :eek:

WTF! Don't you guys call each other "Cancuks" in Canada. Like Black people here refer to other Black people as "Brothas" or "Niggas"?


:lol:

I'm joking.

[Badmoon]

We can make some sort of list or do trivia.

[RNR]

What kind of list?

[Badmoon]

Maybe, greatest classic rock albums, or bands, or songs, or riffs, or guitarists, or...

[RNR]

I don't think we could do bands because that's a matter of opinon. Guitarists would be goo.d We could show rolling stone a thing or two :angry:

[Badmoon]

we could do bands, we'll vote.

[Grammar Fuhrer]

I have an idea, I don't know if it's been done before, but you could start off by naming someone from the classic rock era Then take the first letter from their last name to name another person. Example: Robert Plant - Paul McCartney. What do you guys think?

[RNR]

we could do bands, we'll vote.

We could do sort of like that top 100 albums thing. We could get a bunch of classic rock albums and make a thread. This could put the classic rock thread on the map.

[Against Miik!]

no, I think some lists would be quite cool, and they would actually make sense unliked the rolling stone lists. So that means the white stripes cannot have a top ten album ever.

[Badmoon]

That's been done plenty, but good thinking :).

To: The guy two posts up


so, what kind of list?

[RNR]

i'm the guy two posts up. We could do a classic rock top 100, albums, guitarists, bands, songs...

[Badmoon]

How about top 10 albums now, and we'll work up.

[Paranoidd]

I don't think it could be condensed into 10.

[Against Miik!]

10- The Eagles/Hotel California

[Badmoon]

First, we need to mention our favorite albums.

[IAJP]

No, it's fine if you vote for Jimmy Page. I just hope you would know the other writers on the list.
Page would win it, then Morrison, just listen to the lizard king, how he even came up with such an idea is unbeliveable really, then hendrix, then probbably Townshend or something
but thats cool man, look at my username:lol:
talk about big headed:naughty:

[Badmoon]

So, make a list (in any order) on your FAVORITE Classic Rock albums. Post as many as you would like, just make sure you really like them.

[magicbus]

Yea I always though Page/Plants lyrics were pretty good, but lately everyone has been ragging on them. I think it's "Come up with a lame reason why Zeppelin isn't great" month.

I think its because we've all heard so much about them from the zeppelin noobs.

Led Zeppelin - 1, 4
Jefferson Airplane- Surrealistic Pillow
Jimi Hendrix- Are You Experienced?, Axis: Bold As Love

[themightyquinn23]

NO! Electric Ladyland or The White Album.

BTW badmoon, your review for Surrealistic Pillow has Somebody to Love listed as Somebody Cars in case you didn't know.

Vote Electric Ladyland. You even have the cover as your avatar.

[Schyma]

Have you herd Band of Gypsys? Its way better

[lunch998]

Isn't Machine Gun on that CD? I love that song.

[themightyquinn23]

Have you herd Band of Gypsys? Its way better

Yes I have, and Electric Ladyland is far better. And when I say far, I mean that Band of Gypsys doesn't even come close. In fact, Machine Gun is really the only song on there that can compete with the songs on Electric Ladyland.

[Badmoon]

Keep in mind you can list more than 10.


And check out my uber cool Mickey Hart avatar. :cool:

[themightyquinn23]

Would they count for the list? Because then we will have people listing every sngle album they own.

[Badmoon]

Well, they just kind of guide lines, and mentions. But the list will without a doubt reflect our favorites.

And you act as though you cannot trust anyone in this thread to follow my instructions.

[keep on phishin']

all the songs on bands of gypsys can compete and are usually far better.
but it sounds totally different from each other. jimi did things with band of gypsys that he was not able to do with the expierience. and it has jimis most amazing guitar work. :thumb:

[themightyquinn23]

What do you mean? Are you making the list?

And, you should visit me and Miik :cool: (Not really)

EDIT: This is addressed to badmoon

[Badmoon]

No, we all are, that is if we even do. We just want people to mention there favorite albums so we can recall good albums. We should all try to come to a unanomous decision.

[themightyquinn23]

all the songs on bands of gypsys can compete and are usually far better.
but it sounds totally different from each other. jimi did things with band of gypsys that he was not able to do with the expierience. and it has jimis most amazing guitar work. :thumb:

Most amazing guitar work, eh? Only Machine Gun, and the solos in All Along The Watchtower are better.

[keep on phishin']

its not only machine gun(althought probaly the best track). have you even heard who knows or changes or power to love. all those songs have so much more emotion put into them. and are much longer and may i say better than those in all along the watchtower.

[Badmoon]

Band of Gypsies - Power to Love > All

^The timing of the drums, and Cox's yell are perfect. And then the following solo is amazing.

[themightyquinn23]

its not only machine gun(althought probaly the best track). have you even heard who knows or changes or power to love. all those songs have so much more emotion put into them. and are much longer and may i say better than those in all along the watchtower.

Yes, I have heard it, I own the **** thing. Look, Electric Ladyland has a fresh sound, he experiments more, and whats this about longer songs? I believe Voodoo Chile and 1983(A Merman I Should Turn To Be) are both over 13 minutes. I can't believe I'm having to defend one of the greatest albums in rock history.

[keep on phishin']

i just personally find a single song on electric ladyland that beats anything on band of gypsys. i suppose its just a preference sort of thing. yes i like the songs on electric ladyland just i dont feel they are up to the standards of band of gypsys

[themightyquinn23]

Crosstown Traffic
Rainy Day, Dream Away and Still Raining, Still Dreaming
All Along The Watchtower
1983(A Merman I Should Turn to Be)
Little Miss Strange(It's a good song, admit it)
Voodoo Chile and Voodoo Child(Slight Return)
House Burning Down
Burning of the Midnight Lamp

How can you beat that????

[lunch998]

Yea Burning of the Midnight Lamp does rule.

[keep on phishin']

well....

machine gun
who knows
power to love
message to love
changes
we gotta live together

[lunch998]

This is a pointless arguement. Recommend both the **** albums for the list, everyone knows they're both good.

[keep on phishin']

yea i think its gong nowhere...we're never gonna change each others opinion

[themightyquinn23]

well....

machine gun
who knows
power to love
message to love
changes
we gotta live together

I don't think very highly of We Gotta Live Together....It's a bunch of screaming

[themightyquinn23]

Fine. I would like to recommend Bitches Brew-Miles Davis and Imagine-John Lennon.

[Badmoon]

That's jazz, not Classic Rock.

[RNR]

Does anyone plan to actually make an offical final list? Or is this just posting random good albums?

Neil Young- freedom <---- put it in you canada hating bastards :angry:

[themightyquinn23]

That's jazz, not Classic Rock.

It's pretty close

[Badmoon]

Sure it is, but try not to cross the line.

[themightyquinn23]

There is no line. Rock is a flexible genre.

[StreetlightRock]

Good Morning guys.

erm,

Gn'R - Appetite
Pink Floyd - Wish you were here
Pink Floyd - DSOTM (is classic, deserves to be there)
Zeppelin - II
Hendrix - Live at Woodstock
The Beatles - Sgt. Pepper
Bob Dtlan - Highway 61
Deep Purple - Machinehead

so far.
Must eat breakfast...

DVG.

[Badmoon]

Neil Young- freedom <---- put it in you canada hating bastards :angry:

Hey it's gonna take time, and don't lay all this work on me.


Okay, everyone think what should be number 1. Choose four that are eligable in your opinion.

The Beatles - Sgt. Peppers
The Beatles - The White Album
The Who - Tommy
The Beach Boys - Pet Sounds

[Badmoon]

There is no line. Rock is a flexible genre.

Yes, but this is Classic Rock. And Jazz isn't Rock.

[themightyquinn23]

The White Album-The Beatles
Pet Sounds-The Beach Boys
Electric Ladyland-Jimi Hendrix Experience
Abbey Road-The Beatles

[themightyquinn23]

Yes, but this is Classic Rock. And Jazz isn't Rock.
What exactly is rock? There can be many definitions. Jazz/rock IS rock. You can even mix in other kinds of music like soul, blues, or in your case, folk. So by your definition, some of your favorite bands are not rock.

[Badmoon]

All of my favorite bands I listed are Rock. That's what they play even if they mix a different genre. Miles Davis - Bitches Brew is Jazz. Not Rock, not Classic Rock. There is no argument.

[themightyquinn23]

So it's more jazz than it is rock. But it's close enough, it gets a vote from me.

[Badmoon]

IT's A CLASSIC ROCK THREAD!!! NOT A JAZZ THREAD!! THIS IS A CLASSIC ROCK LIST!!! NOT A JAZZ LIST!!!!

I'm not going to ask for The Red Hot Chili Peppers - Mother's Milk to be in, because it's not Classic Rock. If it's not Classic Rock it's not on the list.

[RNR]

Electric Ladyland
Sgt peppers
Zeppelin 4 ( not my favorite but it's the best choice for a best album)
Eat a peach

[themightyquinn23]

IT's A CLASSIC ROCK THREAD!!! NOT A JAZZ THREAD!! THIS IS A CLASSIC ROCK LIST!!! NOT A JAZZ LIST!!!!

I'm not going to ask for The Red Hot Chili Peppers - Mother's Milk to be in, because it's not Classic Rock. If it's not Classic Rock it's not on the list.

That's funk, not rock :lol:

It's fairly old. I like it. You could put it on the list if you want.

[Badmoon]

That's funk, not rock :lol:

You actually believe RHCP are completely based on Funk?

I recommend you go through there catologue. And it's irrelevant, because as I said...IT's NOT CLASSIC ROCK.

It's fairly old

It's not about age. I would suspect you would know that.

[themightyquinn23]

It was a joke, I know they're rock.

[Badmoon]

:rolleyes:

[themightyquinn23]

:rolleyes:
C'mon, you know it was funny. :D

[the mighty zep]

Dark Side of the Moon
Zeppelin IV
Sgt. Pepper or White Album...
Who's Next

My #4 is a maybe, but all i can think of right now.

If youve seen Rolling Stones mag. list of top 500 albums, then youll get some ideas. I thought it was one of the worst list ive ever seen

[keep on phishin']

ok top 4 for number one....

the beatles-white album
pink floyd- wish you were here
led zeppelin-houses of the holy
the who-tommy

[themightyquinn23]

The White Album should probably be #1. It looks like the most popular.

[RNR]

It's not about age. I would suspect you would know that.

Well yeah... Now that I think about it again RHCP aren't really the classic rock style of playing. Even though it's older than some classic rock.

Fine :mad:

[Badmoon]

The White Album it is!!!!!

[themightyquinn23]

Sweet.


G'night everyone.

[Badmoon]

We'll work more tommorow. :)

[RNR]

really? sgt peppers is better. Sheeshers.

[StreetlightRock]

Nnoooo!

GnR - Appetite
Floyd - DSOTM
" - Wish you were here
Zep - II
Beatles- Sgt. Peppers

DVG.

[Badmoon]

:lol: okay, it's tied.

I think either way it should either be White album or Sgt. Peppers. Because everyone has atleast one of those in there picks.

[The Esoteric]

If it's a choice between those go with the white album

[Schyma]

Sgt. Peppers!!!!!!!!!!

[Ozone Baby]

Band of Gypsies - Power to Love > All

^The timing of the drums, and Cox's yell are perfect. And then the following solo is amazing.

[magicbus]

I'd say Sgt. Peppers over White Album. Even though While My Guitar Gently Weeps is on it.

[StreetlightRock]

Hey guys, im off for the next 4 days, im going to climb Kinabalu, the heighest mountain in South East Asia (4000m) =) So adios and keep rocking!

DVG.

Sgt. Peppers

[lunch998]

The Who - Live at Leeds should be on there. One of the best live albums of the time.

[keep on phishin']

Live at Leeds is great but Tommy deserves a place more so than live at leeds. :thumb:

[B0nz0]

Sgt. Peppers
Who's Next
Are You Experienced
The White Album

[Badmoon]

#1 - The Beatles - Sgt. Peppers

I also think Tommy should be above Live at Leeds and Who's Next. It's a better album.

Not necessarily on the top 10, but maybe if we do a top 100 or something.
