Classic Rock

[themightyquinn23]

Hendrix rocks as we all know. One of (not the greatest) guitarists of all time. My favorite album is electric ladyland. Everybody always says that Are you experienced is his best because of purple haze. I think that the music is just generally better on electric ladyland.

Anyone else agree?
Definitely, Electric Ladyland is in the top 3 of greatest albums ever IMO. I love the diversity of it all, and Hendrix was a genious in the studio just as he was a genious on the guitar.

[RNR]

Yep. Hendrix would be a music god. He was the greatest guitarist of his time and took guitar playing to new heights. If he was born about 30 years ago he would be the greatest guitarist of all time.

[magicbus]

Yea Electric Ladyland has All Along the Watchtower, my absolute, favorite Hendrix song. Ever. Its amazing. I like that album.

As for rock gods, Clapton and Hendrix fit well, and maybe Morrison. He definently had the charisma.

[Lithium2112]

electric ladyland is definately my favorite, i also have a live album which is pretty good

[themightyquinn23]

Electric Ladyland>Band of Gypsys

I'm assuming what you're talking about is Band of Gypsys, and we already had an argument on which was better in this thread.

[PinkFloyd]

This thread is refreshing after being in the guitar forum and seeing a bunch of people bash Hendrix until there is no tommorow.

[themightyquinn23]

That's because they are all metal freaks who don't know anything outsde of power chords.

[PinkFloyd]

^Not really but :lol:

[Badmoon]

People criticize too much. Here, if it sounds good, like it. Hendrix's is good, everyone knows it. Leave it at that.

[lunch998]

I'd say Robert Plant was a music god just because of stage presence. And we came to the conclusion awhile ago that Electric Ladyland was better than Band of Gypsys.

[themightyquinn23]

I had an argument with two others in here a couple of weeks ago about it, and nobody was backing me up.

[RNR]

I'd say Robert Plant was a music god just because of stage presence. And we came to the conclusion awhile ago that Electric Ladyland was better than Band of Gypsys.

Bonham>page>Jones>Plant

On a side note:Happy b-day Rob :chug:

[Humor99]

'Little Wing' is probably my favorite Jimi Hendrix song, just the softness and slow emotional flutter of it all. It sounds so great, that I'm disappointed it's not all that long. Oh well, there's always Stevie Ray Vaughan's version for that :)

I only have Jimi's Woodstock performance, but I want Live at Berkeley Palace - anybody know if it's any good?

[lunch998]

I wasn't talking about talent wise, but people viewed him as a god on stage.

[lunch998]

Oh and the Live at Berkely CD is amazing. The best Hendrix live CD I've heard.

[themightyquinn23]

I wasn't talking about talent wise, but people viewed him as a god on stage.
If you are talking to me, then I was referring to the Electric Ladyland-Band of Gypsys debate. I don't like Led Zeppelin all that much.

[Humor99]

Oh and the Live at Berkely CD is amazing. The best Hendrix live CD I've heard.
Really? I've heard good things about it, I didn't know if I wanted it though. Don't know if I can stand another 14-minute version of "Voodoo Child" :lol:

[lunch998]

If you are talking to me, then I was referring to the Electric Ladyland-Band of Gypsys debate. I don't like Led Zeppelin all that much.

My Bad I was talking to the person who said Bonham>Page>Jones>Plant. I would have backed you up if I was around.

[lunch998]

Really? I've heard good things about it, I didn't know if I wanted it though. Don't know if I can stand another 14-minute version of "Voodoo Child" :lol:

All the songs are such good quality though, and it's the only live CD with Pass it On(Straight Ahead) on it, which makes the whole CD awesome.

[Humor99]

Sounds good, I'll probably check it out pretty soon. However, I got a lot of Dylan, Doors, and Floyd today for my birthday, so I might have to listen through that. :)

[Badmoon]

Keith Moon = Rock God

[lunch998]

Keith Moon = Rock God

I was thinking about someone from the Who. Keith Moon is probably the best pick, but by 69-70 Roger Daltrey had that frontman God thing going for him, especially live.

[Humor99]

David Gilmour perhaps? That guy could reach new planes with his guitar playing. The emotion, the pyschadelic feel, and the melody were all there in all of his solos.

[Badmoon]

When you think about it, all of The Who are Rock Gods. Unbelievable showey, talented, unique drummer. Unique, ground breaking bassist, genious writer, and good guitarist/vocalist. And one of the most powerful and greatest frontmen.

[Humor99]

Well, the bassist wasn't really a rock god. He was definitely very talented, but he didn't go into the limelight much, he just stood still and played his part. Townsend was definitely a great showman along with Keith and Roger. Those three together were rock gods perhaps, but I just think John was a little too stiff to be a 'rock god'.

[lunch998]

Pretty much, yea. There's no denying any of their talent or live performances. Destroying all their gear helped too, I guess.

[RNR]

Well they certainly were worshiped like gods back in the day. And they played a huge part in the british invastion.

Yep I guess they are. plus they hold the record for loudest concert ;) (poor pete and his ear thing though).

[lunch998]

I guess, but as far as Classic Rock bassists go he is definitely one of best. Maybe by himself he wasn't a god, but on stage with the Who I think he was.

For Entwistle it's not about the showmanship. He's the backbone of The Who, and probably the greatest Classic Rock bassist, and probably one of the most influential bassists ever. He has done so much for bass playing it's crazy.

[Humor99]

Oh, I wasn't denying his influence at all. He is a tremendous player with wide influence and playing ability. When I think of a rock god however I think of somebody with more of an electrifying or strong personality. He was more hidden and out of the picture.

[lunch998]

It's a shame bassists are overlooked so much. Up with John Entwhistle, Jack Bruce, and John Paul Jones.

[Humor99]

On a bit of an unrelated note - can anybody tell me all the members of The Band and what they played?

Also, any recommendations for songs/albums/recordings that I should look for of the Band?

[Badmoon]

I wouldn't say as much JPJ. He's a decent bassist, and a great musician, but if we're talking skill, he's nothing next to Jack Bruce and Entwistle. Atleast I don't think so.

[lunch998]

I wasn't sure if I should group him with Bruce and Entwistle, but JPJ is overlooked in Led Zeppelin too much, so that's what I was getting at.

[RNR]

I wouldn't say that he's nothing compared to them. He's very good. But I agree that they are both better.

[Merker]

Silvertide rules!!

[Badmoon]

Both revolutionized lead bass playing, aswell as Phil Lesh.

[Badmoon]

Lennon - Give Peace a Chance = Greatest verses ever!

[Schyma]

^Ill Agree

[Schyma]

Hendrix rocks as we all know. One of (not the greatest) guitarists of all time. My favorite album is electric ladyland. Everybody always says that Are you experienced is his best because of purple haze. I think that the music is just generally better on electric ladyland.

Anyone else agree?

No I think Are you Are you experienced is much better but Band of Gypsys is his best.........Has anyone herd the Blues Hendrix album?

[Badmoon]

Yeah, his Blues is just okay to me.

[Against Miik!]

I love Red House

[Badmoon]

I love playing Red House.

[Against Miik!]

*Sucks at playing Red House for some reason*

O well

[Kelto]

Jimi Hendrix Is The Greatest Guitar Player Ever To Live He Rocks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yayayayayayyayayyayayayyaywhoooooooooo He Ios The Best

[Fibonacci]

I completely agree (about Classic Rock making a revival).

But I can't help but notice how a lot of you haven't mentioned Pink Floyd, a band composed entirely of gods of rock.

[mr snrub]

Pink Floyd are the ultimate Gods of Classic Rock, and it does get discussed in here alot. However I muched prefered them with Syd Barret, which they only got one album done (Piper at the Gates of Dawn) before he went crazy, but he wrote most of their songs for the wall and other albums.

[Fibonacci]

Bah, they don't mention Pink Floyd enough then.

[Against Miik!]

Floyd, in general, is to depressing for my tastes. I do enjoy a few of there songs, like Wish your were hear and Money and all that, but I just can't listen to Welcom to the Machine. It gets me in such a bad mood.

[Paranoidd]

:confused:

Roger Waters wrote the Wall.

[mr snrub]

Barrett wrote a few of the songs though.

[Paranoidd]

I'm going to get my hair cut, when I come back I'm pulling out the vinyl to check the credits.

[Humor99]

I just finished listening to Animals, and while it was some interesting music and such, I don't know if it's the "masterpiece" everyone makes it out to be. Perhaps I should listen to it some more before I really judge. However, I think I still much prefer WYWH and other albums to this one.

Also, am I the only one who doesn't like Meddle save for "Echoes" and "One of These Days"?

[Humor99]

I'm going to get my hair cut, when I come back I'm pulling out the vinyl to check the credits.
Don't bother - I just found it online:
http://www.pinkfloydonline.com/discography/thewall.html

None of the credits are given to Barrett, only to Waters or Waters/Gilmour (and one with a guy named Erzin). So I don't think you're correct about Syd.

[mr snrub]

Ok - he may not of written them himself, but I know that he had something to do with all the songs.

[Humor99]

Ok - he may not of written them himself, but I know that he had something to do with all the songs.
I think you're thinking of Wish You Were Here, an album dedicated to his memory by his bandmates. Although, I suppose The Wall's underlying messages about mental walls and such could apply to Barrett.

[mr snrub]

I think you're thinking of Wish You Were Here, an album dedicated to his memory by his bandmates. Although, I suppose The Wall's underlying messages about mental walls and such could apply to Barrett.

Most probably :thumb:

[PinkFloyd]

The Wall is an autobiography of Roger Waters. The only thing involving Barret were his traits that were insparation for many of the characteristics of the central character, Pink.

[Schyma]

Syd is the true songwritter behind pink floyd!!!!!

[Humor99]

Syd is the true songwritter behind pink floyd!!!!!
Considering he was there for only one album, I doubt it.

[Badmoon]

I don't always care for Syd's writing.

[mr snrub]

Considering he was there for only one album, I doubt it.

Haha, never listened to it then?? It is the ultimate classic rock album.

[Schyma]

I seem to be the only one to think Animals is brilliant lyrics but boring music.

[PinkFloyd]

but he wrote most of their songs for the wall and other albums.

No. He didn't write one song from 1971(Meddle) and on for Pink Floyd. He was an inspiration for many but he didn't write them.

[mr snrub]

I don't always care for Syd's writing.

well you should, he rules.

[mr snrub]

No. He didn't write one song from 1971(Meddle) and on for Pink Floyd. He was an inspiration for many but he didn't write them.

Yeah thanks, I realise now, I got wrote and inspired muddled up.

[Badmoon]

His stuff with Pink floyd is really cheesy, and simplistic. I like his later writing though.

[PinkFloyd]

I seem to be the only one to think Animals is brilliant lyrics but boring music.

No No. Animals has amazing music. Dogs for instance. The catchy acoustic riff, the dual guitar interludes, the three amazing guitar solos, the climax in the second guitar solo is near orgasmic :naughty: . Pigs On The Wing has an amazing chord progression, and solo on the rare version complements the song perfectly. Pigs (Three Different Ones) is just kickass. And Sheep is keyboard ownage. :)

[PinkFloyd]

His stuff with Pink floyd is really cheesy, and simplistic. I like his later writing though.

You mean his solo career?

[Badmoon]

Was he in another bands after Pink floyd?

[Schyma]

He was an inspiration for many but he didn't write them.

Dark Side of the Moon and Wish You Were Here mainly.

He did write Jugband Blues on Saunful of Sercrets.....good song

[mr snrub]

Was he in another bands after Pink floyd?

Syd? No, he had to stop because of drug abuse and went to rehab.

[Schyma]

How come I didn't think so?

[Badmoon]

So, yes of course his solo career. I was just leading him to what I meant.

[Humor99]

How come I didn't think so?
Different strokes for different folks?

[PinkFloyd]

How come I didn't think so?

Opinions :D

[Schyma]

Syd? No, he had to stop because of drug abuse and went to rehab.

No he went insane.... maybe because of the drugs

[Schyma]

Different strokes for different folks?

Agreed

[Woodstock]

Syd was an LSD victim, he went coocoo.

I heard rumours that he thought he was a glass of orange juice for a while

[Humor99]

Wouldn't be too surprising.

[mr snrub]

No he went insane.... maybe because of the drugs

exactly...so...because of drugs

[Schyma]

Anyone enjoy the early rare Floyd?

[mr snrub]

Yes, it ruled.

[PinkFloyd]

Like Barret era or like Floyd after Barret but before Darkside (Obscured By Clouds, Saucerful Of Secrets, Ummagumma)

[Woodstock]

Wasn't Meddle the first album with Gilmour??

[themightyquinn23]

No, that was More

[PinkFloyd]

Yep^

[Schyma]

Like Barret era or like Floyd after Barret but before Darkside (Obscured By Clouds, Saucerful Of Secrets, Ummagumma)

No No I meant the stuff that syd was in Apples and oranges, Vegtable Man and Milky Way.... that kinda stuff

Live in London 66 67 anyone?

[PinkFloyd]

I love Vegtable man.

[Paranoidd]

I love all Floyd.

Syd Barrett & Pink Floyd - Interstellar Overdrive - 27-2-67 French 'Arnold Layne'EP
Syd Barrett & Pink Floyd - Candy And A Currant Bun - 27-2-67 stereo enhanced
Syd Barrett & Pink Floyd - Instrumental (aka Beechwoods) - 4-9-67
Syd Barrett & Pink Floyd - Vegetable Man - 10-67 Malcolm Jones 1987 mix
Syd Barrett & Pink Floyd - Vegetable Man - 10-67 Peter Jenner 1974 mix

You must all get those.

[ZeppelinMan30]

Anyone heard The Soft Machine. They were a sick *** london psychadelic group in like 66-67. They played some songs and shows with the floyd in the earlier days

[RNR]

Syd wasn't as good a writer as waters in my opinon. Though i've really only heard the mainstream floyd plus the album "animals". I'd like to get into some of syd's earlier stuff.

[Ninjerk]

Ted Nugent's pretty good. Did anyone mention him? Totally sex-driven.

[ZeppelinMan30]

Syd wasn't as good a writer as waters in my opinon. Though i've really only heard the mainstream floyd plus the album "animals". I'd like to get into some of syd's earlier stuff.

Check out "Clowns and Jugglers" by Syd feat. the soft machine.

[wanton]

Ummagumma's an awesome album

[RNR]

Check out "Clowns and Jugglers" by Syd feat. the soft machine.

[PinkFloyd]

Yep^. Free Four is awsome.

[jimiSRVhendrix]

[PinkFloyd]

I was never a big fan.

[RNR]

Nor was I. I'm not sure how they got as big as they did.

[zundelicious]

i dont no if i would stock up jefferson airplane albums but they had sum cool stuff. i think pink floyds saucerful of secrets on umagumma is a sweet song its kinda weird but cool

[lunch998]

Off-topic, but I just got the Allman Brothers live at the Fillmore East deluxe edition. It's awesome, I'm so happy.

[PinkFloyd]

The begginning is just them f-ing around but the end has nice melody.

Eat a Peach > Fillmore East

Yea well I can't find eat a peach at any of my local stores and I didn't feel like ordering it. That sucks, so I went with the next best thing.

But Allman Brothers Live=Good.

What Live Grateful Dead album would you guys suggest I get?

[lunch998]

[RNR]

Well yea. There was no reason why I put the quote up. But if your trying to make sense of the quote, then good luck because I never tried.

It's possibly the statement that the bee gees made friendly music for the masses and that led zeppelin's music is of an aquired taste.

Or that Zeppelin ripped off some bee gees songs :p

[lunch998]

We could be here forever trying to figure out Waynes World. I think the first thing you said was right.

[PinkFloyd]

^I doubt that :P

Sooo anyways....Bob Dylan

My favorite Dylan is "Serve Somebody"

[jimiSRVhendrix]

What Live Grateful Dead album would you guys suggest I get?

get europe '72

[Humor99]

Sooo anyways....Bob Dylan
I just got his Live in '64 album - that is some great stuff. Especially the duets he does with Joan Baez, wonderful.

Definitely check it out if you like Dylan, even though it's more early stuff.

[keep on phishin']

What Live Grateful Dead album would you guys suggest I get?



the four disc fillmore....if you can find it

or

[Schyma]

Highway 61 Revisited, Blonde on Blonde and Blood on the tracks. Favorite Dylan

[themightyquinn23]

I'm gonna bring out this debate again. For my review of Chuck Berry's greatest hits, what should the genre be? How about Influential 50's rock?

[RNR]

Chuck Berry is blues rock.

[Badmoon]

^ Yea, definitley

[themightyquinn23]

I don't really think that's descriptive enough though. For an artist such as Chuck Berry at least.

[Badmoon]

You could put (Early Blues-Rock).

[themightyquinn23]

Perhaps

[RNR]

You could put (Early Blues-Rock).

True. He has the sort of rock n rollish sound but not like a lot of blues rock. The allmans are blues rock but they are newer blues rock. they have a different sound than chuck :amaze:

So i'll agree.

[Badmoon]

Or of course just (Blues Rock n Roll)

[themightyquinn23]

I think I'm gonna go with Early Blues/Rock. Thanks for the help.

[Badmoon]

Don't review just to contribute to the stupid Rolling Stone list.

[themightyquinn23]

Too bad. I am. Well, that and the fact that there are no Chuck Berry albums/greatest hits reviewed yet.

[RNR]

I think I'm gonna go with Early Blues/Rock. Thanks for the help.

:) That suits it perfectly.

[Woodstock]

Anybody have opinions on CSN&Y?

I love them, their called the folk Beatles of the USA

But I didn't pick the name.

[RNR]

Love them. They're really underatted. Stills is a brillant guitarist and writer.

[Broken Arrow]

ya there pretty good

i like young better with crazyhorse though

[Woodstock]

Do you have any of their albums?

I have So Far and am planning to get CS&N s/t.

[Broken Arrow]

[Woodstock]

Well then find out^

*threat*

[Broken Arrow]

any recommendations

[Badmoon]

Love them. They're really underatted. Stills is a brillant guitarist and writer.

Same here, and I believe this is the only place on MX where Stills' talent is appreciated. I really like So Far and Deja Vu.

[Woodstock]

Well, So Far is a greatist hits...so I would start with that.

[Woodstock]

I like Crosby and Young the most but nevertheless they're all talented.

[Broken Arrow]

greatist hits always works

[keep on phishin']

i might actually be going to see csn in a couple weeks along with boston

[Woodstock]

So Far^

CCR anybody?

[Woodstock]

Hey, don't change the subject.






Love CCR though :lol:

[RNR]

CCR anybody?

No more letter bands for today please ;) (exept BTO, takin care of business, im taking care of business... yeah.. oh yeah :cool: )

i've only heard down on the corner and up around the bend, but i liked them

[Badmoon]

Well, So Far is a greatist hits...so I would start with that.

Not completely, "Ohio" is only on So Far.

[Broken Arrow]

ohio is good?

[Woodstock]

Yeah your right, but.....Ohio is one of the best songs ever.
They wrote Ohio in 1970 and So Far came out in '74, so why Ohio is on So Far boggles me.







Cause I live there :D

[themightyquinn23]

Me too :chug:

[Woodstock]

what city?

[themightyquinn23]

Around Cleveland

[Against Miik!]

If mean ohio by CSNY, then I think it was written about the Kent State massacre, which I think was in 72 or 74.

[themightyquinn23]

I thought it was in '70. I was standing on the spot it happened when I was at Kent.

[Woodstock]

It was in '70(Ohioans know this stuff).

I live in a suburb outside Toledo.

[Against Miik!]

Nm you're right. May 4, 1970

[ZeroPlusOne]

A completely under rated, yet simple and awesome classic rock band is Grand Funk Railroad. I seriously love their songs. Inside Looking Out is probably my favorite grand funk song, along with paranoid.

CSN&Y wasn't much of a BAND. It was a bunch of solo artists comming together to create the music they wished and for it to be played in a free enviroment. When I hear a CSN&Y song, I think, Oh thats Neil Young or that's Bill Crosby or that's Rick Nash, and so on.

[Badmoon]

^ Actually it's Graham Nash and David Crosby.

I can see how you mixed up Bill Cosby, and David Crosby though.

[jerky_timberdog]

dire straits rock... mark knopfler is my hero, he's such an awsome guitarist...
classic rock is sweet, there wouldn't be anything half-decent if it wasn't for all the groovy dudes that started rockin' back in the day...

[Badmoon]

Somebody think of a game or something to play and interact with here.

[Insane-Mortality]

I have also noticed that...more and more kids are listening to older rock, esspecailly kids who play instrument, like guitar bass or drums....but i would say that punk is more recognized than rap..i hate rap...and punk

[PinkFloyd]

Somebody say a line from a song and then somebody must guess it. :P

edit artist must be guessed

[PinkFloyd]

^As in what artist/band says it.

This page has gone from CSN&Y to randy rhoads.


God help us all.
This thread is one giant circle, we will just end up talking about CSNY or The Allman Brothers again pretty soon.

[kjkjkj]

wow there are a lot of posts in this thread!

[kjkjkj]

to me classic rock like led leppelin is still heavy metal if you ask me. as that's what it originally was.

Good call, i'm seein the Allmans at the Ampitheatre this Saturday.

.......It may have been a precursor to metal, but it wasnt metal.

[Schyma]

wow there are a lot of posts in this thread!

Ya it just hit 4000

[Badmoon]

Are you saying Metal was originally like Led Zeppelin, or Classic Rock was originally Metal.

[themightyquinn23]

Good call, i'm seein the Allmans at the Ampitheatre this Saturday.
Actually, it's not good that we keep returning to the same topic to talk about the same stuff over again. This Allman Brothers talk is getting old.

[lunch998]

You guys want to play the song line game? Because your right, we would just end up on CSN&Y in a few pages.

[Against Miik!]

Actually, it's not good that we keep returning to the same topic to talk about the same stuff over again. This Allman Brothers talk is getting old.

Theres only so much you can talk about though. I mean, someone can bring up some obscure band, but it won't make for good discussion if nobody else has heard of them. Its not like classic rock is an ongoing thing. There is only so much to pick from.

I havn't seen Aerosmith mentioned hardly at all. How about that?

[themightyquinn23]

There are so many classic rock bands that it would take a lot more pages to discuss all of them. The Allman Brothers are the most popular band in here for some reason, so we end up talking about how great they are every 3 or 4 pages.

[Against Miik!]

Well, I don't think they are overrated or anything. Hardly ever mentioned by noobs in this thread.

[Badmoon]

Actually, it's not good that we keep returning to the same topic to talk about the same stuff over again. This Allman Brothers talk is getting old.

Actually whenever we bring up The Allman Brothers, great discussion arises. Because we all pretty much love them, we know there music. And the discussion easily connects to Gov't Mule, and our love for their guitarists.

But they have been brought up about a dozen times and it's the same discussion the same time about how the Allman Brothers are great. I get the idea, they are great, now let's move on!

[RNR]

CSNY is probably a once in 4000 posts discusion unless there's some news.

The allman brothers is for any time :)


By the way, what's a good gov't mule starter album?

[jpj]

you should talk about the yardbirds they rock

[RNR]

you should talk about the yardbirds they rock

We did. We had a big Yardbirds vs the allman brothers discusion.

...My god we do love the allmans :amaze:

[Chop Suey!]

soooo....who here likes classic rock?

I'd say The Deepend vol. 1, though most would say s/t.

Does anybody have anything bad to say about them? I really don't think you can. There songs are catchy. They obviously have skill. What else can I say?

[PinkFloyd]

^ Not much else.

[StreetlightRock]

*wakes up from the dead* Hey guys im so sorry, ive been totally fuzzed up this weekend, my internet died on me and i spent 1/2 the day in hopital on Saturday... I was running real fast and i tripped and hit my chin on a concrete block, cut right through the chin. 15 stitches and i got major scratchage on me chest. Im at School ATM, so yea.

CCR is cool, but Dire Strights are better.

DVG.

[Schyma]

rock aint gonna die
too late.....Maybe rock isn't dead.......maybe its just in a coma

[Seafroggys]

I don't recall any Blue Oyster Cult discussion.

lets talk about them.

They're my favorite American band (of course my favorites are British, but thats besides the point).

[RNR]

Does anybody have anything bad to say about them? I really don't think you can. There songs are catchy. They obviously have skill. What else can I say?

Dicki is kinda' fugly. Other than that I have nothing.

Oh and i'l lcheck out that gov't mule album.

[RockAndRoll]

No, the question is...Where the hell is Frail, DVG, Voodoo, RockandRoll ect..
Never fear RockAndRoll is here! (well kind of, I still have to read a bunch of pages)


and to answer your question I was at wasaga beach haveing the time of my life.

[PinkFloyd]

BOC have like 3 good songs :/ .

[InChains]

rock is something so great and beautiful, it will never die! there will always be classic rock influence like led zeppelin, queen, doors, ect.

[Seafroggys]

BOC have like 3 good songs :/ .

Hmmm, by that I assume you mean the only three songs people tend to know about: Reaper, Godzilla, Burnin' (in short hand).

Out of those Godzilla is the best, but I've heard stuff that can bury these. Yeah, I unfortunately have their greatest hits CD, and have heard two of my dad's LPs (Agents of Fortune and Fires of Unknown Origins) which both were okay.

But I must say that their pre-Reaper stuff kicked extraordinary ***. Cities on Flame, Flaming Telepaths, and Astronomy....oh my god! Especially Astronomy, one of the single greatest rock ballads of all time. Even some of the later seventies stuff was pretty decent that know one knows about (In Thee, Black Blade).

However, I must admit after Albert Bouchard was kicked out, they really started making ****ty music.

Anyway, I don't see whats really great about Don't Fear the Reaper (except that middle heavy section was pretty cool). But BOC does have plenty of hidden gems. Plenty. I plan on getting Secret Treaties as soon as I have CD money again.

[RockAndRoll]

The Wall is an autobiography of Roger Waters. The only thing involving Barret were his traits that were insparation for many of the characteristics of the central character, Pink.
I'm still reading through the thread but I felt the need to reply to this.
The wall is not an autobiography despite the underlying similarities between waters and Pink.

[RockAndRoll]

True. Pink is a fictional composite of Waters and Syd.

[RNR]

That's what I said (somewhere). Waters and Syd both wrote songs on the wall. They both wrote it from personal experience and waters (being the genius he is) sort of fused their lives together to make pink.

I'm sort of confused about te empty spaces message thing. Is syd old pink? :amaze:

Yeah. he went crazy, which is what the 'funny farm' thing is about. he had a daily acid habit. not healthy. he started going catatonic on stage, playing simple chords, totally unrelated material, or not playing at all.

[RNR]

Right then :)

Syd helped write songs on The Wall?

[RNR]

Syd helped write songs on The Wall?

Well, he didn't quite help but there were some songs or song ideas of syds that waters used when writing the wall.

So he deserves some credit.

Ladies and Gentlemen, I offer you this:

The Top 500 Rock And Roll Songs (http://classicrock.about.com/library/misc/ptop500.htm)

This list got me into to Classic Rock today. Since I don't use P2P devices, I'm gradually assembling as much of this as I can through CDs. I've got 229 of them so far and I haven't disliked a single song.

For reference, you can make fun of me for using a list, but all of these songs are solid gold and I make sure to listen to whatever else comes with the CDs I buy. For example, Mary Jane's Last Dance (Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers) and Higher Power (Boston) aren't on the list, but they're pretty awesome too.

I think the fact that this thread is so huge is a testament to how great Classic Rock is.

[Woodstock]

I agree with most of that list, a first.

But not the #1 song

[RNR]

I agree with most of that list, a first.

But not the #1 song

I don't think it really matters if people don't agree with number one. It would be very hard to pick a number one that everybody agrees with. Stairway to heaven is the ideal number one song because nobody's going to say "why the hell is that there?"


A I agree with most of that list. Tons of great music on there. though a serious lack of allman brothers. 5 songs out of 500? Somebody's gonna get hurt.

[Woodstock]

Reading that list, I was thinkin we dont talk about the Stones enough in here.

Forty Licks is a great compilation, but my fav LP would have to be Sticky Fingers.

Wild Horses, Brown Sugar, Cant You Here Me Knockin all great songs :thumb:

they got no ramones songs :upset:

[RNR]

they got no ramones songs :upset:

1. The ramones aren't classic rock. They are punk.

2. Even if they were classic rock they would still not be on there because they suck.

kthxbye

[Woodstock]

ouch!!

[RockAndRoll]

I don't like the rolling stones all that much.

[RNR]

This thread slipped off of the first page@ Oh no.

So how 'bout them allman brothers? (should get the thread rolling smoothly again).

[ShineOnYouCrazyDiamond]

them allman brothers are amazing.

[themightyquinn23]

Shut up!

[RNR]

Shut up!

You don't like the allmans or something?

In that case...Get out of my thread! :angry:
