[magicbus]

I don't know if you have any Jethro, but in case you don't Aqualung is a must have. After that I like This Was, or maybe Stand Up.

[lunch998]

Oh I forgot CCR. And the Kinks would be cool, I heard Lola the other day. Funny song.

Yea man Steve Miller is really good. I just don't know where to start with cds. I'd like to get one.

All I can find of Steve Miller is the greatest hits. I'm not a fan of greatest hits but it might be my only option unless I plan to order a CD offline.

[Woodstock]

Albums:

Steve Miller Band-Fly Like An Eagle
The Kinks-Lola vs. The Powerman and the Moneygoround, Part 1
CCR-Cosmo's Factory

Best of??? It may seem kinda lame, but you would probably get a pretty good selection. I picked it up for 8$.

[Cerebrus69]

settle this right now....steve miller is good....moving along..... ;)

[Woodstock]

settle this right now....steve miller is good....moving along..... ;)
Have you got anything to contribute or not?

[magicbus]

Yea I can't find Aqualung anywhere. I check every used cd store I go to. Must be cause nobody wants to sell it.

EDIT: Yea Achilles is good. Sorry :upset:

[Woodstock]

That's weird, it's a very popular record.

Thankyou. No one else hear seems to like it.

The Kinks are great, very underrated.

[Woodstock]

Did you guys not see the records I posted?

[Woodstock]

The Kinks are great, very underrated.
True, very true.

[magicbus]

That's weird, it's a very popular record.

Used though. Like people who don't like it sell it to them. I'll probably just go to Best Buy this weekend. I gotta pick up Who's Next and Fragile anyways.

[Woodstock]

Its hard to find good used albums, especially popular ones.

[Cerebrus69]

Yea I can't find Aqualung anywhere. I check every used cd store I go to. Must be cause nobody wants to sell it.

EDIT: Yea Achilles is good. Sorry :upset:

well if its not in any CD store u try internet at all? that really the only other alternative i see other than going door to door asking if they are willing to sell their CD but i sugest the former

USED cds i mean, u could find that CD new anywhere.

[lunch998]

Used though. Like people who don't like it sell it to them. I'll probably just go to Best Buy this weekend. I gotta pick up Who's Next and Fragile anyways.

That sounds like a good weekend, in terms of new music.

[Cerebrus69]

good weekend indeed......smart choices :thumb:

and i still hate u ppl who think Motley Crue is the anti christ :upset:

[magicbus]

That sounds like a good weekend, in terms of new music.

Yea I have The Who greatest hits (don't kill me), and one scratched. So I decided its time to get Who's Next. And Fragile is just because I've been listening to live Yes a lot, and I love it. Good music right there.

And I don't hate Motley Crue, I just don't like them.

Haha, greatest hits are usually the easiest and most econical way to get into a new band. If you have the money, I strongly recommend you buy the Who Live At Leeds 2-disc set. You have to shell out 30$, but it's the best money I have ever spent on a CD. Then again, Who's Next is top notch as far as their studio material. I just prefer the Who live.

[magicbus]

I've heard that album. Definently a worthy investment.

[lunch998]

I've heard that album. Definently a worthy investment.

Yea, and you get almost all of Tommy perfomed live on the second disc.

[RockAndRoll]

best part about music night is a peice called
british invasion: music of the 60's
we play parts of - girl, you really got me, michelle, for your love and mellow yellow.

[RNR]

Group 3 and 4 are up.

Vote Vote vote.

[Maggot Dream]

Yeah, Live at Leeds is awesome, u gotta love Young Man Blues. THe whole Tommy part is great too, wish I could've seen them perform Sparks like that live.

[AdoniZebek]

ummm.... hello... AC/DC where is AC/DC.... :evil: ac/dc kick major ***.... not even funny... oh and Nirvana :thumb: .... those are the bands i live off of.....lol

-Adoni

[RNR]

Cool. Nirvana is like 90s grundge. But ac/dc is classic rock. I like them :thumb:

[clown_phobia]

do the grunge bands count as classic rock?

[BurnLikeABlackNight]

Anybody ever hear of Atomic Rooster? They're an old classic rock/ folk rock group around sixties/early seventies. They got some amazing tunes. Sounds like the music from Monthy Python Holy Grail when Lancelot is legging it up to the castle. "Dun du da dun, dun du da dun (bit of flute flute), guitar riff, dun du da dun" that kinda stuff. Really good.

[jpj]

do the grunge bands count as classic rock?
No.

[jpj]

Yes. Join the Anti-jpj side.
When did the Achilles Club become the Anti-Me Club.

[Whatever]

I was gonna say something, relevant, but i forgot.

Soooooo....

How about them Yankees?

[lunch998]

Yeah, Live at Leeds is awesome, u gotta love Young Man Blues. THe whole Tommy part is great too, wish I could've seen them perform Sparks like that live.

The version of Sparks on Live at Leeds is phenomenal, one of the best live songs I've ever heard probably.

[Paranoidd]

I know it's not classic rock, but I snagged a Jeff Buckley Live In Chicago DVD the other day...oh...man...it's so good. Any Buckley fan must get it.

[lunch998]

When did the Achilles Club become the Anti-Me Club.

Na, I was just joking. No one but me likes Achilles....
:upset:

[lunch998]

Rooting for the Yankees is like rooting for the House in Blackjack. Souless.

[BurnLikeABlackNight]

How about them Yankees?

No, no, no ya gotta say something like "How about that local sports team"

[RNR]

do the grunge bands count as classic rock?

God no.

[the mighty zep]

do the grunge bands count as classic rock?

sorry, but that qualifys as one of my top ten dumbest questions ever.

[RNR]

It was a good question. Late 80s is when it started so it could possibly be classic.

[Paranoidd]

True. We count GnR as classic, why not some grunge?

[RNR]

80s hard rock is classic because it's hard rock and fairly classic. Grunge isn't the classic rock style so it can never be classic rock. It will be classic grunge one day though :thumb:

[Paranoidd]

Yup. Although I can't imagine my classic rock station playing Mudhoney or Alice in Chains...OR Nirvana for that matter.

[RockAndRoll]

I wonder what will be played on the radio 20, 50 years from now.

[wanton]

80s hard rock is classic because it's hard rock and fairly classic. Grunge isn't the classic rock style so it can never be classic rock. It will be classic grunge one day though :thumb:

To much classic's in one post? :p

[RNR]

:( wow that is alot.

edit: this thread is now the largest in rock and metal :)

[Paranoidd]

Word. We 0wn.

I'm making a prediction that Black Sabbath wins the final poll, due to metalheads. They'll be the Metallica of the classic rock poll.

[Dark Hero]

This thread has been around since March.

[RNR]

I don't know. I think Zeppelin will win because of the n00bz0rz.

[Paranoidd]

Well, Zep and Sabbath will definitely go far.

[RNR]

We all knew who would win the metal poll from the start. And we all know who will probably win this poll.

But it's the process that matters. i want to see how far bands like The Doors, CCR, Queen, Neil Young and others like them will do.

[RockAndRoll]

Queen should do quite well.

[RockAndRoll]

I'm surprised that Guns 'N Roses are ahead of The experience though.

[Paranoidd]

That's the n00b factor for you.

[Woodstock]

I voted for Sabbath, almost chose The Byrds.

And I pray GnR will not beat JHE

[RockAndRoll]

But I figured there'd be lots of those for jimi too.

[jpj]

I voted Rush. It was a tough decision, but decided Geddy was better than Geezer.

[Woodstock]

I voted Rush. It was a tough decision, but decided Geddy was better than Geezer.
:lol: :rolleyes: I dont like Rush that much.

[jpj]

Oh yea! Well I don't like old, fat, and bald hippies with fumanchus!*


*Is a lie, actually loves them.

[Woodstock]

Oh yea! Well I don't like old, fat, and bald hippies with fumanchus!*


*Is a lie, actually loves them.
Fear no more, for I have a better pic.

[Seafroggys]

I feel ashamed. I voted Sabbath, but I love them so much! I feel like a noob!

I really need to get around to more groups though.

[jpj]

Are they any bands in particular? If so we may be able to give you some album suggestions.

[Woodstock]

This site has an artist who sketches famous artists. Go to the In Colour section, its where I got my avatar.

This John Chatterton is great.

[thickasabrick]

oh **** i missed the polls...when do the next ones start up?

[Badmoon]

now

[Drumma]

what about AC/DC ?

[RNR]

what about AC/DC ?

So, what about them? :confused:

[lespaul_101]

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

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

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

I have started to notice a few people around my school who are into classic rock. Not near enough people but whatever. Classic rock is the best. Back then people in bands actually had talent. I don't like this cheesy punk stuff where the guitarist knows 3 power chords and has a band. And I hate rap. It's not even really music.
I love bands like:
Van Halen (Eddie Van Halen is the best guitarist ever born)
AC/DC (Angus Young rocks the blues like no one else)
Led Zeppelin (Jimmy Page is amazing)
Guns N' Roses (Slash freakin' rocks)

[Seafroggys]

Are they any bands in particular? If so we may be able to give you some album suggestions.

Right now I'm in a Tull and Deep Purple phase. So it looks like for b-day and x-mas I'll be getting some of that stuff.

If I had money, I wouldn't be buying CDs, I'd be buying cymbals :D

There are lots of bands these days with talent.

And rap is music, if you're going to come in here to badmouth other genres, don't. We're all pretty open minded here and don't appreciate needless flaming.

Otherwise, welcome.

[RockAndRoll]

I know I've said this before but Van halen really bore me. And yes bands do still have talent, though not all of them.

[Paranoidd]

Well yeah, of course.

But people make it seem like there were no bad bands in the 60's or 70's...it's really funny. They had pop back then too. The only thing is, those bands do not endure the test of time, and are forgotten about, as todays cheesy pop acts will be forgotten in the future.

Never forget that.

[RockAndRoll]

Well yeah, of course.

Never forget that.
I agree. Although I do think musically it was a very very good period.

There are bands from that time period I don't like, the first to pop into my mind is always the carpenters.

[Stevie_P]

there s few ppl in my school who liek classic rock but they only know liek back in black thunderstrucka nd stairway and then go on thinking that stuff liek nirvana is classic?

[jpj]

Are you new to the English language?

And to SeaFroggys get Aqualung and Thick as a Brick if you don't already have them.

[guitrguy]

I'm thinking about buying a Yes CD, any suggestions guys?

I'm wondering if those "lieks" are on purpose.

[RNR]

My mom's going to get Bob Dylan's autobiography type thing. And then i can read it after she does :)

Dangit she's such a slow reader though.

[lunch998]

I'm wondering if those "lieks" are on purpose.

I wonder if he has been to an English class ever.

[RNR]

Dangit. I like Black Sabbath. But it looks like they could win the contest thingy. And we can't have that because they're more metal than anything else.

Who was the idiot who said to put them in anyway?

[Dark Hero]

I'm thinking about buying a Yes CD, any suggestions guys?

Get R.E.M. - Automatic for the People, it's not classic rock but it's still really good.

[RNR]

Umm, sooooo is R.E.M Yes now or something?

(that's a great album by the way)

[lunch998]

Dangit. I like Black Sabbath. But it looks like they could win the contest thingy. And we can't have that because they're more metal than anything else.

Who was the idiot who said to put them in anyway?

There was going to be a problem either way. Without them and Zeppelin tons of people would be like "OmGZ U 4gOT BLAk SaBAAth!!! U suck!!"

But when we put them in, now everyone is going to vote for them.

[RNR]

I would have just said that they're metal :cool:. Classic metal with a blues influence and not really metal but hard rock...

Still i'm a little pissed.

[Woodstock]

I voted for Sabbath :upset:

[RNR]

I'm ****ing putting them in with Zeppelin, Pink Floyd and The Who in the second round.

[Woodstock]

Wait, Zeppelin, Floyd, and The Who will all be in the same round?

[RNR]

I was kidding.

Still, they can't win.

[lunch998]

I'm ****ing putting them in with Zeppelin, Pink Floyd and The Who in the second round.

That will be really interesting, but then you might have a weaker band go farther due to the absense of one of those awesome bands in their group.

Your changing the competition so that you can see your favorite bands succeed. Faulty!!

Edit: Turns out you were kidding. So nevermind.

[RockAndRoll]

well lets see....

R.E.M = Good
Yes = Good
now if we substitute...
R.E.M = Yes

[lunch998]

well lets see....

R.E.M = Good
Yes = Good
now if we substitute...
R.E.M = Yes

You can only find quality math like that here in the CR thread.

[RNR]

well lets see....

R.E.M = Good
Yes = Good
now if we substitute...
R.E.M = Yes

:confused: :amaze: :eek:

:thumb:

[RockAndRoll]

Yes, Watch in awe of my amazing super cool skills.

[TerryThorne]

I think the reason these bands are more popular now than they ever have been is due to the fact that there isn't too many bands worth listening to.

[Seafroggys]

I think the reason these bands are more popular now than they ever have been is due to the fact that there isn't too many bands worth listening to.

Completly random, but that's okay!

Wait, according to that logic....that means there aren't too many bands worth listening to....you didn't distinguish when.

Before noobs learn English, they should learn how to think.

[StreetlightRock]

Seafroggys, He's statement was compleatley valid, hes giving hes opinion on why he thinks more and more people are turning back to old music. Don't flame him becasue of it.


I'm ****ing putting them in with Zeppelin, Pink Floyd and The Who in the second round.

0.o!! Ill kill you. Imagine a Deep Purple, Zeppelin, Floyd, The Beatles, The Who, The Doors, Rush, Black Sabbath, Gn'R, Hendrix Final...

DVG.

[Paranoidd]

Man, The Carpenters are my favorite group to use in an insult. Most of these kids have never heard any of their craptastic music. Whenever somebody says something dumb like "OMG MeTalliCA 0wns OMG LOZZZzzzZz name 1 betta band den Metallica!11!1!!!!!1!! \m/"

I say: "The Carpenters."

The reactions are great.

[LiZZySkYnRd7^]

Once again I'm 418 pages late. I am just refreshed to hear these bands (the foundations from which all others were built) are being recognised for what they are among todays youth. I was beginning to get extremely concerned based on what I could gather from the evilness that is MTV. I say exposure is 9/10's of the law where that is concerned, maybe more kids would see the light, if it was ever shown to them in the first place.

[jpj]

I like you, stick around.

[RockAndRoll]

[Dark Hero]

Umm, sooooo is R.E.M Yes now or something?

(that's a great album by the way)

I never even saw the YES. :amaze: It was late anyway.

[jpj]

That's not funny because The Carpenters really are better than Metallica. :p

[Woodstock]

How about them Doobie Brothers?

[slowhand]

I've been gone now for a while, has anything interesting happened while I was away?

And I finally have The Rolling Stones Rock And Roll Circus... I've only seen The Dirty Mac performing 'Yer Blues' (it's good, better than the albums), the Yoko Ono bit (it's a jam session with the Dirty Mac, but Yoko insists on wailing) and the Rolling Stones' performances, which are good.

I havn't seen The Who's performance, which is said to be the best in the show, but so far so good.

[RockAndRoll]

It shows them perform on the kids are alright DVD.

[Woodstock]

We can all agree on one thing, Yoko Ono has the worst singing voice ever.

[slowhand]

Singing voice? I thought she was dying.

[Woodstock]

Singing voice? I thought she was dying.
You mean, there is a difference. :amaze:

[RockAndRoll]

yoko ono is weird.

[slowhand]

I think that's why John liked her...

I always thought she looks like a monkey.

[thickasabrick]

anyone see yoko ono recently?
she seems to look exactly like jimmy page does.
actually i think shes better looking now than ever...poor jimmy aged terribly.

[RockAndRoll]

Jimmy page looks asian now.

[a_minor_threat]

Get R.E.M. - Automatic for the People, it's not classic rock but it's still really good.


I have the CD, and it's very enjoyable.


I'm also thinking about getting the Out Of Time CD.

[slowhand]

anyone see yoko ono recently?
she seems to look exactly like jimmy page does.
actually i think shes better looking now than ever...poor jimmy aged terribly.

I don't know if she looks better now than ever, I saw a picture of her in 68 where she looked ok, but then I saw she didn't shave her legs... then I was scared.

And yes, Jimmy Page is asian now, you wouldn't expect Mr. Wang to be part of one of history's greatest rock band, now would you?

[Woodstock]

Robert Plant aged worse, he looks like Mr. Potato Head.

[lunch998]

Robert Plant aged worse, he looks like Mr. Potato Head.

Let that be a lesson to you. Don't do weird drugs for long periods of time.

[RockAndRoll]

Jimmy aged fine, he looks cool!

How's JPJ looking?

I know someone who was at a party with robert plant!

[Dark Hero]

Robert Plant aged worse, he looks like Mr. Potato Head.

Haha, Now we can't forget about John P. Jones.

[lunch998]

JPJ aged fine too.

[lunch998]

I think Eric Clapton aged really well. This was semi-pointless but I had to get 600.

[Arucard]

eddie van halen has ages ok considering he had cancer
but van halens new rip of shows suck belive me ive been to one

[RockAndRoll]

he did age really well, He looks good. He's very unassuming at his concerts too.
EDIT: clapton that is.

[RNR]

Page does look asian :amaze:

Eddie's such an old burnt out poser... and he doesn't even look asian :mad:.

He could learn a thing or two from Page :)

1. Less distorion more time spent pollishing your songs.

2. 15 minutes of wank is only good when combine with a bow and a telecaster.

3. Asians ****ing look cool! :cool:

[Badmoon]

Yeah, but Eddie is better than Page.

[RNR]

In technical skill (just playing fast) he is. And don't start some bull**** about Eddie somehow being as a good riff and melody writter because he's not.


But eddie zwns. Who can do the splits in mid air while jumping off of an amp and playing eruption? Huh huh?

[thickasabrick]

in my opinion page is the better songwriter, and not just for guitar. his technical skills arent nearly as refined as van halens though, but thats because he spent his time writing amazing songs, instead of practicing scales.

both are awesome, but i think van halen is kinda arrogant, page is pretty nice in his interviews.

[Badmoon]

In technical skill (just playing fast) he is. And don't start some bull**** about Eddie somehow being as a good riff and melody writter because he's not.

Well, I'm not talking about writing. And a guitar shouldn't have to lean back on "I'm a good riffer" as support. There's a million of um.

[RNR]

Let's face it, Page sounds alot better.

But if you were only going on skill than sure, I agree.

[thickasabrick]

anyone ever see the interview where van halen was like...
(and im not quoting this exactly because its from memory)
"page was a good songwriter, but he plays guitar like a four year old with a broken hand"

that kinda made me mad, i wonder if page ever saw that.

[Woodstock]

Page>Van Halen

[Broken Arrow]

I missed the polls :upset:

Anyways the bands I wanted won.

[Badmoon]

I just bought some good albums.

Brian wilson - Smile
Jerry Garcia - s/t
The Grateful Dead - Steppin' Out

It's not too far off though. Page was very sloppy live.

Could you send me that Live Grateful Dead album that has Wharf Rat? :)

[Woodstock]

It's not too far off though. Page was very sloppy live.
Very early in the career he was sloppy, but toward the mid 70's he became very technical. At least, that is what I think.

[justlikealex]

It's not too far off though. Page was very sloppy live.

He played the extended solo of Stairway pretty darn good though. :)

[Badmoon]

Could you send me that Live Grateful Dead album that has Wharf Rat? :)

Not now, I don't have it loaded and it's in my brother's car.

[thickasabrick]

i think he was sloppy because he was always messed up on drugs/alcohol, plus he tried improvising all his solos or even adding new parts to his songs on the spot. he didnt just stick to the same thing. when i try to do that, it sounds a lot worse than his does. if he wanted to just play the same solo/song over and over again the same way, im sure it would sound perfect.

[Broken Arrow]

How bout sending me some Werewolves of London?

[RNR]

It's not too far off though. Page was very sloppy live.

So is Eddie. I'd say Eddie's even more sloppy.

[ShineOnYouCrazyDiamond]

badmoon and woodstock do you use the archive (llama) for dead shows?

[Broken Arrow]

I good site for Bootlegs from Gratefull Dead Concerts is Nug(s) ????.com

Group 1

Van Halen
CCR
Blue Oyster (sp) Cult

Group 2

Deep Purple
Jethro Tull
The Velvet Underground

Those bands move on

[Woodstock]

Too bad CSNY didn't make it.

[Schyma]

****!!!!! No one voted for Roy Harper. I would have but I missed the polls

[thickasabrick]

Too bad CSNY didn't make it.

ya that would have been nice..but there are just too many good bands to have to choose just one.

[Schyma]

Too bad CSNY didn't make it.

Ya who they lose too

[jpj]

JPJ aged fine too.
Of course he did. He's immortal.

[Badmoon]

Of course he did. He's immortal.

Worst discussion ever.

[jrock77]

csny rocks my socks off, they shoulda come further

[Schyma]

Thanx for repeating everything I seid

[Schyma]

Whens the next poll going to start?

[guitrguy]

Soon I hope.

[Schyma]

Anyone there?

[guitrguy]

[lunch998]

me. I just downloaded some bad company.

That's cool. I've only heard a few of their songs.

[guitrguy]

I downloaded "Bad Company" and "Evil Woman" and some others I can't remember.

[RNR]

The next poll will start as soon as stagefrighten gets to hsi computer.

[RNR]

groups 5 and 6 are about to start, bitchez.

[Badmoon]

Nothing makes people sound more like a dumbass, than when they pluralize "Bitch". :p

[RNR]

I know. But I meant it in a sort of mocking the people who do say it way. :)

[Badmoon]

And I meant that smiley in a "I know you're kidding" way

[RNR]

I meant that in the "I couldn't tell because i'm slow" way :upset:


Wait until the n00b vote kicks in. Ac/dc will win tha poll. Over the beatles... Just wait for it :(

[lunch998]

You know something is wrong with the forums when things like that happen.

[RNR]

Don't get me wrong, I like Ac/dc, alot. But if anybody votes ac/dc over the Beatles that's just wrong.

[jpj]

I can't believe not even one person has voted for Bad Company, and if Ac/Dc is even comes close to beating The Beatles I believe the world will end.

[Badmoon]

Everyone check out my new review.

[Woodstock]

I voted for the Rolling Stones and Santana.

[RNR]

Everyone check out my new review.

Read/posted in :cooL:

[thickasabrick]

oh yay new polls...i didnt think that many people were gonna vote for the beatles, i may have voted for ELP.

[thickasabrick]

[jpj]

Uh, I'm just curious, but why didn't you think a lot of people would vote for The Beatles?

[RNR]

I actually really like King Crimson now. A while ago I hated them. I thought all of that crap was cheesey. But now I like them :)

[Schyma]

Uh, I'm just curious, but why didn't you think a lot of people would vote for The Beatles?

Probably because theres so many posrers that flame them.

Cool but no Beatles also Santana is classic rock

[thickasabrick]

yay new polls...if i knew that many people would vote Beatles, i woulda voted ELP.

ya i would say Santana is classic rock.

[jpj]

Probably because theres so many posrers that flame them.
Sadly, this is true, and Santana is most definitely classic rock.

[Schyma]

I should've voted for the Allmen Brthers

[jpj]

I did :) Who'd you vote for?

[thickasabrick]

i've actually only heard like five songs by the allman brothers, i have one of their records but i havent got around to listening to it. i voted doors, then beatles. how long will this thing last for? im not gonna be around computers next week so i might have to get my friend to vote for me.

[Schyma]

Doors :(

[jpj]

Get Eat a Peach and live at The Fillmore.

[Schyma]

I hope they move on

[Schyma]

Well the next grou is...

Mark Knopfler
Johnny Winter
Pink Floyd
Derek & The Dominos
Buffalo Springfield
The Band
The Animals
Janis Joplin
David Bowie
Grateful Dead

I am going for Dead. Pink Floyd is going to get in but I want to see who wins the other 2 slots.

[Badmoon]

That is the most difficult list yet.

[Kingofdudes]

Even though Pink Floyd is gonna get through, im voting for them. I want the Grateful Dead and Johnny Winter to get through too.

[Schyma]

agreed

^ to Badmoon

[Schyma]

I dont think Winter is going to get in but Id like to see it

[jpj]

Winter will definitely not move on. I'm voting for Floyd.

[the mighty zep]

Floyd blows everyone away IMO

[lunch998]

Yea they are easily going to win. Methinks I'll vote for the Band. Maybe the Grateful Dead if they need help.

[Badmoon]

Floyd is boring.

[jpj]

The Grateful Dead is boring. And I don't get this sympathy voting. Vote for the band you like the best not the band you feel bad for. If everyone used this logic Ralph Nader would be president.

[Schyma]

yes but think about it If you like The Doors, Allmans and Stones. Say the Allmans arent doing so well but the Stones and Doors are leading...well you get the pic.

[Badmoon]

The Grateful Dead have more talent, diversity, and all around playing ability than Floyd ever had.

Sympathy, ha that's funny. Sympathy would be saying Syd Barret's a good writer. :lol:

Roger Water's isn't a great player, and all Gilmore really has is a few emotional bends.

[Schyma]

Floyd is boring.

Blue Grass and Country are not the most exciting either

[Badmoon]

Your opinion isn't taken into consideration because you can't even spell Bluegrass.

[DeeDeeRamone]

how come the ramones aren't on the list?

[Schyma]

The Grateful Dead have more talent, diversity, and all around playing ability than Floyd ever had.

Sympathy, ha that's funny. Sympathy would be saying Syd Barret's a good writer. :lol:

Syd Barrett > Jerry Garcia

[jpj]

Because they suck and aren't even classic rock. Also bluegrass and country are possibly the most boring genres of music.

[DeeDeeRamone]

The Ramones are the shiznet!

[jpj]

Syd Barrett > Jerry Garcia
123
The Grateful Dead is far less diverse than Floyd.

[Schyma]

agreed :)

[Badmoon]

Syd Barrett is without a doubt a worse guitarist than Jerry, and cannot write for ****, and it would be crazy to even compare there writing abilities, being that Jerry's over powers him by so much.

The Grateful Dead aren't Classic Rock? Is that supposed to be an insult?

[jpj]

The Ramones are the shiznet!
I can play pwer chords too. Am I the shiznet?

[Badmoon]

The Grateful Dead is far less diverse than Floyd.

How? You don't back up anything. Pink Floyd play a Psychedelic progressive sound, The Grateful Dead play much more than one genre.

[Schyma]

The Ramones are the shiznet!

No :rolleyes:

[DeeDeeRamone]

I can play pwer chords too. Am I the shiznet?
No because ur gay

[jpj]

I was talking about The Ramones silly. Of course The Dead are.

[jpj]

No because ur gay
Get the **** out.

[DeeDeeRamone]

I was talking about The Ramones silly. Of course The Dead are.
They might be punk, but they are still considered classic rock

[jpj]

No they're not.

[DeeDeeRamone]

No they're not.
What makes you say that?!?

[Schyma]

Going from One Of These Days to A Pillow Of Winds to San Tropez to Echoes in one album is pretty diverse...

[Badmoon]

The diversity is high, but it doesn't compare. Give me some huge points of diversity.

[keep on phishin']

Well they seemed to just play one particular style throughout their whole career.

However the dead played many different genres throughtout their career.

[Schyma]

American Beauty is an ex.

[Badmoon]

What the hell is that supposed to mean?

[lunch998]

The diversity is high, but it doesn't compare. Give me some huge points of diversity.

I'm going to stay out of the arguement, but why don't you ever give any examples to back up what you say. You just acuse other people or not being able to support what they are saying. (I don't doubt that you have the facts, but use them so you don't seem hypocritical.)

[Schyma]

Early Dead sucked man

[Badmoon]

No, it's just like early Floyd, but more intelligent. They had a great sense of Folk, and used that all over their music.

[keep on phishin']

Early Floyd wasn't exactly all that special

[lunch998]

Well they seemed to just play one particular style throughout their whole career.

However the dead played many different genres throughtout their career.

Yea but what kind of genre is that? Just because the played the "same genre" doesn't mean that the music does not sound different.

By the way, I smell a good ole' fashioned debate in the mix.

[Schyma]

No, it's just like early Floyd, but more intelligent. They had a great sense of Folk, and used that all over their music.

Yea Anthem for the Sun was intelligent :rolleyes:

[Badmoon]

Great, I'd hope someone would ask.

- Possibly the second labeled Psychedelic Band

- First band to use 2 drummers

- First to use 3-D recording, which Pink Floyd would use later in their career

- First to play Bluegrass Rock

- Played Country Rock and Folk.

- Used an unbelieveable amount of classic literature reference in their writing, along with many other diverse writing methods.

- Used such instruments as Banjo, Pedal Steel, Mandolin, ect...That were hardly used before in Rock.

[Badmoon]

How wasn't it?

See now you make the argument much more intelligent than "Grateful dead sucks." "No way man Pink Floyd sucks."

And you also won the arguement.

[lunch998]

What makes you say that?!?

Because they are punk. If they were classic rock, they wouldn't be punk. Here, they even call it "classic punk", so you can pretend that the Ramones are half as good as most classic rock bands.

[Woodstock]

Uh oh, a fight. Just about all of that arguement was opinion.

We all change in taste of music. Badmoon just likes anything to do with Jerry Garcia because that is his current taste.

Plus, I know Badmoon was a Floyd fan at some point.

[DeusExMachina]

The diversity is high, but it doesn't compare. Give me some huge points of diversity.

You just admit the diversity is there. So The Dead are more diverse. So what? Metallica is pretty diverse.... doesn't stop them from sucking. Now, don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to directly compare Metallica to the Dead, or say that the Dead suck, but diversity doesn't make the band. I mean, the Stones aren't all that diverse, but they totally rock. Ultimately, this whole thing is nothing more than an opinion argument, because the factors that make a band "great" are entirely subjective. You say Garcia is a better writer than Barrett, but some people say the guys from Linkin Park blow both of them out of the water.

Also, didn't mean to single Badmoon out with this little rant, it was just kind of a stream of consciousness.
