Classic Rock

[RNR]

Alot of it is. It's fine, this isn't much of an on topic thread anymore anyway. We talk about many of the subgenres and about our AIM chats which are about classic rock, or deabtes we have about classic rock bands.

[Against Miik!]

Hmm okay then. Did anybody see Crosby and Nash on Letterman the other night?

[RNR]

No, what did they talk about? How much Stills and Young are better than them? :p (joke).

Well anyway, what did they say?

[Badmoon]

I believe they only played.

[Against Miik!]

Yeah, it was performance. I didn't see it though. I didn't have much interest becuase Stills and Young are better than them.

[RNR]

Sounds like a plan. And we still need about 25 more bands for the top 100. Badmoon should have some good ideas.

EditL w0o0t0t0t! 1000th post in this thread.

Put Funkadelic on there.

Good job. Also add the bands that I mentioned in the post aboce yours. Plus Gov't mule.

Come on, Jeff healey can be in there, right? He's fairly better know (and better) than some of the bands in there

Edit: what about Jeff Buckley? Anything passes as classic rock now :)

[Badmoon]

There are few.....few....people who know Healey.

[RNR]

There are few.....few....people who know Healey outside of Canada.

Fixed :thumb:

Same goes for some bands which are already on there.

[wanton]

Good job. Also add the bands that I mentioned in the post aboce yours. Plus Gov't mule.

Done

[RNR]

Kansas and Chicago could be addz0rz

/me was thinking about citys.

[Badmoon]

Fixed :thumb:

Same goes for some bands which are already on there.

"Come on, don't bullshit me"

[RNR]

Stop raggin' on Canadian music and think of some bands.

edit: I remember that Tom Cochrane didn't make the cut last time. He can go in there as well.

edit: same with steppenwolf.

[wanton]

So add Kansas, Chicago, and Tom Cochrane?

[RNR]

And Steppenwolf! And Gov't Mule!

edit: and Phish and kiss.

[wanton]

And Steppenwolf! And Gov't Mule!

Say please :( I added them & Gov't Mule was already on there. :thumb:

[RNR]

and Phish and kiss.

[Badmoon]

No, don't add Phish, you may be crossing the line there.

[RNR]

fine. They're more jam than anything anyway. I'm just trying to find some more bands. Use that brain of yours to help, not eliminate bands.

[Badmoon]

Love
John Mayall
Captain Beefheart

[RNR]

John Mayall and the bluesbreakers? or just Mayall? And yes, captain beefheart will do. I've never heard of love :(. Any good? Are they well known?

[wanton]

There's 89 not including the ones you just said.

What about the Yardbirds, Ten Years After, or Blue Cheer?

[RNR]

Yardbirds for sure. Add the ones i've mentioned (exept for phish).

[Badmoon]

Canned Heat

[RNR]

alright. In the best metal band poll there were atleast 20 bands that non gave a **** about too. the second round was better.

Actually, I think i'm going to make this a greatest rock band thing afterall. And include the list in order of most votes in the wrap up thread.

The final list! We have about a week and a bit to make changes too :)

[Woodstock]

I'm liking that list, pretty nice job.

[RNR]

Feel free to make any changes.

First list the bands that you want out. Then list replacements.

[wanton]

Out: Kiss
In: Ten Years After

[RNR]

no, find some other band to replace.

[wanton]

Styx? Uriah Heep?

[RNR]

no, no.

Foghat can be replaced.

[Woodstock]

Zeppelin will = a lot of trouble

[wanton]

What about BoB Marley? Is he counted as classic rock?

[RNR]

I don't know. Badmoon would know. He's classic rock enough.

[RNR]

Zeppelin will = a lot of trouble

I know but maybe they will get metallica'd in the final poll.

[Woodstock]

I know but maybe they will get metallica'd in the final poll.
Naw, there aren't enough of us who would vote for someone else, we are out numbered. Zeppelin won't be Metallica'd, to many zep posers.

[RNR]

Yes, but I don't want to have to deal with 50 posts going "omgz u left zeppelin out u fag!1!1!!". And plus the real point of it is to see what the best bands are. Like the ones that almost make it into the poll.

[Woodstock]

Yes, but I don't want to have to deal with 50 posts going "omgz u left zeppelin out u fag!1!1!!". And plus the real point of it is to see what the best bands are. Like the ones that almost make it into the poll.
Ok, dont say I didn't warn you though. :)

[Schyma]

No Roy Harper? You sir have put a tear in my eye........

[Schyma]

Or Syd Barrett

[RNR]

You know the format. Name the band that you would like out and the one that you would like in.

[Schyma]

Bob Marley for Roy Harper I love Bob Marley but hes not Classic Rock

[pyro_570]

I definatly think clasic rock on the rise again, it so messed up to go to Ozzfest and see like a bunch of ppl. with Zeppilen shirts on

[Kingofdudes]

I know but maybe they will get metallica'd in the final poll.

:lol: Metallica'd should be in the dictionary

Good choice on putting Johnny Winters in :thumb: I read an article about him in GW and checked out some of his stuff a few weeks ago.

[Schyma]

Take out Stix for Syd Barrett

[Schyma]

I downloaded some I still dont see why Cream is so "good" to you.

[jpj]

some people just have different tastes in music. you may like something that no one else in here likes. it's simply a matter of opinion, but you have to give them some respect because whether you like it or not they were all great musicians.

[guitrguy]

I downloaded some I still dont see why Cream is so "good" to you.
*cough* clapton *cough*

[Woodstock]

I have no idea, Medopalis. It is all up to rock not roll.

[jpj]

i just hope we dont get bombarded by the "OMGz0Rz LEIK PAIGE(misspelled on purpose) Iz LEIK dA BIZEST"

[StreetlightRock]

Ye gods ive missed out. Erm. Thin Lizzy? or Gary Moores solo Career?

DVG.

[RNR]

Yes, I just thought of Thin Lizzy. Thin Lizzy for Foghat

Roy Harper for Marley

Syd Barrett's solo stuff was a crazy old man making a little less than music. I'm putting my foot down.

And plus, we have way too many solo projects/former bands in there already.

Current list... Get in your changes now soon.

[RockAndRoll]

steppenwolf should be in, but I'm not sure who should be out.

[RNR]

Ooo I forgot about them. How about we take out blind faith? We already have Cream, Clapton Amd Derek and The dominos.

What about Journey? I know some of you think they are teh suxerz and all but they were pretty big.

[lunch998]

Leave in Blind Faith. Just because Eric Clapton played for them is no reason to take them off the list.

[RockAndRoll]

I'd be fine with taking either of those off.

[Badmoon]

Where's G. Mule?

[RNR]

Well then. since we have 101 now we need to get rid of one. And then you can replace a band with G-mule.

[Badmoon]

101 - April Wine = 100

[RNR]

I guess. Now who would you like G-Mule to be replaced with?

[Badmoon]

Ohh w00ps, for got to subtract another...The Cars.

[ZeppelinPilot]

Its not necessarily "classic rock" thats so big. Its bands that were revolutionary. Bands that were different. Jimi Hendrix. the Beatles. Led Zeppelin (who could even play folk for God's sake). but think about the bands that were revolutionary that are played on classic rock stations. they range from the early-mid 60's through the 80's in some cases. they had different sounds. Have you ever heard a band that sounds like Dire Straits? The Cure? Cream? the Doors?

Me, im mostly into led zep. I know so many random facts that its not even funny. Ive been trying to work my way back through different sub genres in "classic rock" especially the 60's heavily blues influenced bands.

[Woodstock]

So when is the list goin' up?

[RNR]

Yep. Barely any of the bands sound the same. That's not the case with many other genres.

[RNR]

So when is the list goin' up?

About a week after the metal poll is done. So we have plenty of time to make changes. And just to keep down the spam. IM the changes to me. I'll be keeping it in a word document.

[Broken Arrow]

Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

I missed alot since being here. Im went to RockandRoll's hometown for 2 days and in the process picked up

Floyd-WYWH
Floyd-DSOTM(both I had Viynl for)$9.99 ea.

Neil& Crazyhorse-There comes a Time $7.99

The Band- Greatest Hits $9.99
The Doors-Morrison Hotel $7.99

Thats a fine list :thumb:

[RNR]

Nice. All of those. Got any changes to make to the list?

[HeavyTraffic]

iya, i'm a fan of classic rock myself, althou, an i don't think anyones mentioned these, but u can't talk about classic rock withou mentioning STATUS QUO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i mean, these guys r pure classic rock, ok, mabye not in the same league as zepplin or the who, but they r pure gold

[Badmoon]

I strongly dislike Status Quo, they're hardly Classic Rock.

[Woodstock]

On my CD to buy list:

Retrospective-Buffalo Springfield

Sticky Fingers-Rolling Stones

I have to mow a few lawns I guess.

I've never heard any Status Quo?

[Broken Arrow]

Nice. All of those. Got any changes to make to the list?
The Band????

[HeavyTraffic]

thats cool, not many ppl lyk em, but they r classic rock, i mean, they've had there own special in the classic rock mag, but lyk i said, thats cool

[Broken Arrow]

On my CD to buy list:

Did you know you cant spell worth ****

[Badmoon]

thats cool, not many ppl lyk em, but they r classic rock, i mean, they've had there own special in the classic rock mag, but lyk i said, thats cool

Sure, they can be classified as Classic Rock, most do. I just don't. :)

[RNR]

The Band????

Yes. The band kicked *** and that's why they're on the list.

[HeavyTraffic]

u shud, if u lyk rollin stones then u might lyk quo

[HeavyTraffic]

Please start communicating in English please.

I mean, you did spell your username correctly....
yes, sir!

[RNR]

Well, i've never heard of them. But I do like the stones and if they're like them then I bet I would like Status Quo.

[Woodstock]

Rolling Stones = a good, simple classic rock band

[HeavyTraffic]

anyway, how about, wishbone ash, great twin guitar band, an lovely guitar sounds an great constructed songs

[Broken Arrow]

I forgot the name of that real trippy Rolling Stones song??

If you could help........or I'll just listen to 40 licks

[thickasabrick]

Rolling Stones = a good, simple classic rock band

the thing about the stones..is that richards guitar is sometimes so subtle you dont notice it, even when hes playing great melodies and stuff like that. if you listen to satisfaction you might just hear chords, but hes playing some good stuff there.

[thickasabrick]

I forgot the name of that real trippy Rolling Stones song??

paint it black?? its the one with the sitar if thats what you are thinking of.

[Woodstock]

I know exactly what you mean, the songs Wild Horses and Cant You Hear Me Knockin show off Richard's great improvisational skills.

[Broken Arrow]

paint it black?? its the one with the sitar if thats what you are thinking of.
No, Iy's the one they made after the stabbing at that concert(Altomonts???)
or some thing that sounds like that

[thickasabrick]

No, Iy's the one they made after the stabbing at that concert(Altomonts???)
or some thing that sounds like that

oh well i dont know then...have you ever seen the footage filmed at that concert? its pretty crazy.

in the song american pie, don mclean refers to mick jagger as the devil and talks about the night of the stabbing. just some random info.

edit- i went to my grandpas house a while ago and he had the forty licks cd. he just gave it to me, thats some good stuff.

[thickasabrick]

who do you think is the musician with the best credentials (if thats the word im thinking of)

i'd say maybe eric clapton or neil young. they have both been in some amazing bands and then had great solo careers over the decades.

[RNR]

Yeah, either of them :)

Clapton was in so many of the greatest blues rock bands. And Neil Young was in lots of the most famous folk/country-ish rock bands.

[Badmoon]

Clapton > Neil when it comes to that.

Though it wouldn't be right to compare them, because there music is completely different.

Neil - Country Rock, Clapton - blues Rock

[jpj]

id say clapton just because i like his music better, but you're right they're uncomparable

[Woodstock]

I like blues and folk based rock equally, I think.

[thickasabrick]

i wasnt trying to compare neil young and eric clapton..i was asking for any other suggestions on some of the top artists.

[Guitarist4life]

Hey Hey My My (Out Of The Blue) by Neil Young is a good song both the acoustic version and the distorsion one.

[jpj]

yea well no ****

[jpj]

which jethro tull album should i get?

[Woodstock]

This site is getting a little too many pop ups.

New profile pic..Thoughts?

[ax-pirate]

[ax-pirate]

some one explain the rod stewart thing to me? i mean i feel hes' more like adult alternative or something other then classic rock

[RNR]

It's how we feel too. They are on the list. :)

edit: umm, I don't know, somebody wanted him in.

[Schyma]

You piss me off :)

[Schyma]

Yes, I just thought of Thin Lizzy. Thin Lizzy for Foghat

Roy Harper for Marley

Syd Barrett's solo stuff was a crazy old man making a little less than music. I'm putting my foot down.

And plus, we have way too many solo projects/former bands in there already.

Current list... Get in your changes now soon.



Then at least take out Stix.......please

[RNR]

Who will replace styx?

[tayla]

My local radio station says that Motley Crue is genuine rock, WTF?!?!?!?!?!?

I like classic rock like 'The Doors' and Steve Miller Band, that's all really.

[Badmoon]

I couldn't let that go down.

[Woodstock]

Those decisions will kill me.

[thickasabrick]

[Against Miik!]

Since when do we hate CCR?

[MalcolmYoungRock]

Since when do we hate CCR?


We don't.

We just don't want to declare them the winner automatically.

[Angus Young008]

Yeah. If you look at any Van Halen, The Who or Zeppelin (my person 3 favorite bands) songs they are all much better than that one. And the guitar solos are better too.
DUR> thats because theyre ****in led zeppelin, the who and van halen.u cant say yea look a that song,led zeppelin is so much better.i mean wtf,theyre f in led zepp. u can say that to about umm EVERY SONG EVER INVENTED(except for songs by queen.) and guitar solos being better? no dur.

Look at the date of that post. Talk to rock not roll about his musical tastes, and sit in the corner.

Two words:

Metallica'd and Zeppelin'd.

[Schyma]

Its kinda funny Malcom Young is telling Angus Young what to do.....

Don't spam in this thread. I'll ban you if you do.

Irony++

[MalcolmYoungRock]

It's 'cause Angus is my bitch.

Sure he gets all the solos.

But Malcolm is > than Angus.

[Badmoon]

Anyone notice anything different about me?

[Schyma]

Malcom created the band....

[thickasabrick]

malcom originally didnt want angus to be in the band...his mom made him.

thats just what i've heard from interviews and crap, my facts may be wrong. malcom even said that in the very early days they shared the lead and rhythm roles, it wasnt until after a while they decided angus should play lead, its not that hes better or anything.

Malcolm writes most of the riffs.

Angus admitted in an issue of guitar world that malcolm was better than him.

[MalcolmYoungRock]

You've got a new usertitle?

[Badmoon]

No, the join date and posts. My old account was merged with this one.

[thickasabrick]

i wish you guys went to my school...i have no one to talk about music facts with other than on here.

anyone here watch the show Beat The Geeks...i think i could give the music geek a run for his money.

[MalcolmYoungRock]

No, the join date and posts. My old account was merged with this one.

What did your old post/ join date use to be?

[Schyma]

I am the only one who knows who Bob Dylan is.....but beleive it or not I have a music cult. When ever I start listing to a certain band about about 3 of my freinds start listining too. Its kinda creepy.

[RNR]

We could just not do the poll and declare CCR the winner.

Sounds like a plan :thumb:. But what fun out that be?


The Traveling Wilburies.?

Somebody better please.

That was a very long time ago. Those are no longer my 3 favorite bands. Though some of my favorites.

I don't know. That guy knows a ton. Maybe classic rock wise you could beat him as a contestant (because the geeks get harder questions).

Tee hee. My friends can't get past Ac/dc, Pink Floyd and Led zeppelin and such. Exept for one, but he still couldn't hang with the CRT regulars in a conversation.

[thickasabrick]

So is the list final now? or are changes still being made?

[Schyma]

Ive got them to Stevie Ray, Robert Johnson, Yardbirds, the Grateful Dead and the one Im most proud of the Doors.

[thickasabrick]

hey schyma im kinda like that too...when i started listening to stuff that was prior to nirvana, all my friends made fun of me. then they all got into stuff like ac/dc and kiss..and then zeppelin and the doors. im still trying to get them into folk and bluegrass but its not working.

[wanton]

Who will replace styx?

Ten Years After? Neil Diamond? Mott The Hoople?

[RNR]

So is the list final now? or are changes still being made?

Changes may be made for about the next week.

I'm leaning towards Neil Dimond for replacing styx. Maybe... I'm just waiting for some really good band that we forgot about.

Also black sabbath must be replaced. They're more metal than hard rock according to some idiots.

[internal_fx]

all i got to say is: that punk reaally annoys me...heaps
led zeppelin rules..over all
classical rock is awesome

[Schyma]

ya i think styx should be out...black sabbath should stay. even if some think they are metal...they definetly deserve to be on the classic rock list.

[thickasabrick]

I got one of my friends listining to American Beauty

impressive... my friends are too hardheaded and death metalish to go into that side of music.

edit- although one bought the moondance record by van morrison, which was a big step.

[Schyma]

thanx for proving a point

[RNR]

Explain yourself, child.

[Schyma]

Another one is a huge blues fan (which is very rare)

[RNR]

Holy ****! I would kill for a blues fan friend. You're a lucky kid :(

[thickasabrick]

well i just figure that they are still classic rock...classic rock radio stations play them.
they used blues scales which metal bands never do...in fact..they were originally a blues band, which just decided to try playing heavier blues which turned into their sound.

im talking about the ozzy years of course...i listen to non other. they have harmonica in a few of their songs (compliments of ozzy), correct me if i'm wrong but most metal bands dont use harmonica. they must be classic rock

edit - talking about the black sabbath explaining thing.

[Badmoon]

Blues bores me.

[RNR]

Umm, sure I guess. Maybe... fine.

[RNR]

Blues bores me.

Oh right.

I didn't mean blues. I meant blues-rock :thumb:

[thickasabrick]

blues is my favourite music to play (guitar) and listen to. good stuff.

[Schyma]

Yea he supplies me with a portion of my blues albums.

[Kingofdudes]

correct me if i'm wrong but most metal bands dont use harmonica. they must be classic rock


I remember Dave Mustaine saying he used one in a song before :p

[Schyma]

I like the list for the Classic Rock Poll, :thumb:

[RNR]

Yeah? Got any changes? I'm taking changes until the metal poll is closed.

[thickasabrick]

hey schyma is your name syd? or is that just a reference to syd barret or some other syd?

[Badmoon]

Oh right.

I didn't mean blues. I meant blues-rock :thumb:

a lot of that bores me too. but not as much.

[RNR]

Outta my thread :mad:

:p

[thickasabrick]

what kind of music do you listen to then badmoon?

[RNR]

Hill Billy tunes I says.

[Badmoon]

what kind of music do you listen to then badmoon?

Well, I listen to a lot of different stuff. Stuff that even combines all the other stuff, and some stuff that only do their stuff.


:amaze:

[thickasabrick]

rock not roll are you talkin about bluegrass? i take offense to the hill billy term. i never appreciated bluegrass until this year. now i love it.

[RNR]

I was kidding, mr bringdown.

[thickasabrick]

Well, I listen to a lot of different stuff. Stuff that even combines all the other stuff, and some stuff that only do their stuff.


:amaze:

haha that was the most obscure reply i had ever heard...so you listen to like everything?

and that little amazed face makes me laugh whenever i see it.

[Badmoon]

My last comment should be said to yourself as though it was coming from The Chesire Cat.

[thickasabrick]

all i know of alice in wonderland is what i learned from listening to White Rabbit. I'm not aware of what this Chesire Cat sounds like.

[Badmoon]

Think enigma.

[thickasabrick]

i figured that much...

i have to go though... i have to write two songs by tomorrow for my creative writing class.

see you guys tomorrow maybe.

[Paranoidd]

I'm the most musically diverse among us, I think.

I could give badmoon a run for his money ;)

[HeavyTraffic]

Just as matter of intrest, does anyone know the top 100 guitar hero's? as i would like to see who is in that list??

[jpj]

that list is terrible. by the time you're done reading it you'll want to kill yourself.

[jpj]

yes he did. in fact he said that like a page ago

[Woodstock]

Is Frank Zappa on the list?

Quit showin' off your post count badmoon :p

<--Time for colorful avatars

[jpj]

yes he is

[Schyma]

Im making a mix cd what should I download?

[Badmoon]

Whoa...did Badmoon get an account merged or something? I'm sure he's got 2,000 more posts than yesterday...

Yea, Jim merged my old account. That's why my join date isn't Dec 2003, and my post count is higher.

[jpj]

Im making a mix cd what should I download?
CREAM AND YOU'LL LIKE IT or maybe you wont...i dont know

I like Folk,Country Rock(Bob and Neil etc.),Blues,Blues Rock,Acid/Pyscheldia Rock, Prog, reggae, Funk,Alternative,The Beatsie boys(non gangsta rap), Classic Metal(Maiden,Preist),Bluegrass(to an extent)

My range is kind of small!

Wjhat is the name of that Rolling Stone song!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Broken Arrow]

I found it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Gimme Shelter!!!!!!!!!

[magicbus]

Why jazz? The fact that its so **** hard to play makes it at least respectable.

[Woodstock]

I found it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Gimme Shelter!!!!!!!!!
Listening to it now. Great backup singer and Keith really shines

[Woodstock]

Why jazz? The fact that its so **** hard to play makes it at least respectable.
Jazz is fine.

*is in Jazz Band* I have so many solos :cool:

[Broken Arrow]

I am also in jazz band!

I just dont find it appealing.

We did a bitchin' randition of I Want to Hold Your Hand

[Woodstock]

Lennon and Jagger were friends, they're in a lot of pics together.

[Broken Arrow]

Lennon and Jagger were friends, they're in a lot of pics together.
Why did you say that?

We also did I Cant Get no Satisfaction!

[Woodstock]

Why did you say that?

We also did I Cant Get no Satisfaction!
Sorry I misread. We aren't playing any special pieces, and how is it not appealing if you play the Stones in Jazz Band?

[Broken Arrow]

We played the Stones and Beatles in normal band.

Playing jazz is better then listening to it for me.

Alot of people like jazz, I dont care.

[Woodstock]

Trumpet?

[Broken Arrow]

Hell Yea!!

[Woodstock]

Question: How many people in here can actually read music, not tabs?

I know you can Livewired. :D

[Broken Arrow]

Guitar Music???

I can read-Snare, Odd percussion-Marracas,Claves etc., Trumpet and a bit of piano. I'm learning to read guitar now........I can read tabs,scales and chords not much sheet music:(

[Woodstock]

I mean like given a piece and you have five minutes to practice and perform it.

[Broken Arrow]

I'm better at trumpet then guitar.

Next year there is a course for it. When I'm done that I will be good at reading guitar music after that.

Last year I got a 95% in Music :thumb:

[Woodstock]

I'm a pretty good music reader, enough so at least. Do you have divided bands like Concert, Symphonic, and Wind?

[Broken Arrow]

Concert and Jazz

I live in a small town though. We are pretty good.

[Woodstock]

What part do you usually get 1, 2, or 3. Since i'm a freshman I usually get 3, but I'm going into Symphonic which is like a first for a Fresh.

This whole page is band geek talk :thumb: :upset:

[Broken Arrow]

First or Second depends on what peice
