Classic Rock

[hypocracy hater]

Bringing It All Back Home is my favorite Bob Dylan album. Blood On the Tracks is probably were you should start though.

ditto, maggies farm is also ace.

[Woodstock]

I have Highway 61 Revisited, but I'm leaning towards Blonde On Blonde.

[tallica_drummer]

yes classic rock is much better than todays "nu rock" as it is called, most of these new bands r mixers etc.
there r like 7 guitarists playing a string each....cant even make a decent solo up....

[Kreator2112]

just because good music isnt mainstream, doesnt mean it isnt out there

[deathaholic]

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?


This is now a Classic Rock Discussion thread!
You know what? I totally agree with you man. Zeppelin, Beatles, Doors, And Rush are all amazing bands that influenced today's music. Did you notice that most of today's "rock" bands sound similar to the good old bands(or at least try to) I got Rush's album The Spirit Of Radio. It is The Greatest hits Album and it amazing listening. Anyone like Rush?

[RNR]

Indeed, but as for rock and roll, the scene is pretty weak. Blues, jam, metal and other genres are doing well, but hard rock bands really aren't.

Rush is awesome. Hehe, you call it ""rock"" too. Because today's rock music is bland un influenced rock and nothing close to as good as the blues and folk influenced rock of the 60s and 70s. Or even the hard rock sound of the 80s. It's just bland 3 chord music.

[RockAndRoll]

I wish I were born in 1948.

[Woodstock]

Nothing wrong with three chord music. Look at the Beatles, you could have one chord like Tomorrow Never Knows and it could still be a good song.

[B0nz0]

I HAVE RETURNED. and my little thread is still alive. very proud of all of you for keeping it alive. And onto three chord rock, there's nothing wrong with it, as long as it's good, which most of todays isn't. anyways what are your thoughts on Emerson, Lake, and Palmer?

[Woodstock]

Welcome back, you need to post more often ;)

I love Trilogy, and I have been looking for Tarkus. How is it?

[Distant Echoes]

Your thread, B0nzo, is just about the only reason i come online anymore.

You have given me a meaning to life!

Whats best about three chord rock isnt only it sounds great, buts easy to play and cover most importantly. Seriously, you could learn 20 3-chord songs in a day. Now thats forgiving to musicians like me

[RockAndRoll]

I thought you died.

P.S has anyone ever seen Linda McCratney's "sixties".

[RockAndRoll]

Oh and I wouldn't call this thread little bonzo.

[thickasabrick]

nothing wrong with three chord rock. it worked with the beatles for the first half of the sixties. never stopped working for the stones and ac/dc.

as long as you think of creative ways to use those three chords.


i am a huge fan of ELP. their album Trilogy is my favourite. Man those keys are simply amazing, definitely not far behind hendrix experience and cream for best trio. my favourite song is The Endless Enigma, but i can't stand listening to it broken up into parts, i like it all in one.

[Illmatic]

You're only listening to the mainstream.

And on another note, every time I listen to Quadrophenia, I like it more and more. How does everyone else feel about it?

From the Beginning is clearly the strongest song on the album.

[Badmoon]

Well, he most likely meant mainstream, being that he is a fan of Widespread Panic and other various Roots Rock/Jam Bands.

I completly agree. (about the three chords)

ELP????? :confused:

[Woodstock]

I completly agree. (about the three chords)

ELP????? :confused:
Emerson, Lake and Palmer. One of the best prog. bands.

[Woodstock]

If anyone wants a sample of ELP, contact me on AIM.

[Creedence Clearwater]

Yeah, I will have to stick up for the three shord song. One of my fav Dylan songs Oxford Town only has two with a third variation.

[Illmatic]

I was never a big fan of Emerson, Lake, and Palmer...

[RNR]

I never said that 3 chord rock can't be good. But the bands that I was reffering to are not and really abuse it.

They need to be more like Jeff Healey :thumb:


:eek: b0nz0's back. :chug:

[MalcolmYoungRock]

Speaking of The Beatle's I'm listening to Abbey Road.

One of my new favorite songs on that is "Maxwell's Silver Hammer"

The way John says

" Late nights all alone with a test tube, oh oh oh oh"

I just LOVE that part.

[Woodstock]

I'm pretty sure it was Paul singing.

[RNR]

Well, he most likely meant mainstream, being that he is a fan of Widespread Panic and other various Roots Rock/Jam Bands.
See, badmoon knew I was only talking about the mainstream. 3 chords is good but with some good songwriting.

And it's rare that you find bland rock outside of the mainstream. Usually that stuff goes straight to the radio.

[MalcolmYoungRock]

I'm pretty sure it was Paul singing.

Yeah, it's Paul, I can't tell :(

I just looked it up on teh intraweb.

[Illmatic]

See, badmoon knew I was only talking about the mainstream. 3 chords is good but with some good songwriting.

And it's rare that you find bland rock outside of the mainstream. Usually that stuff goes straight to the radio.

Well, mainstream rock has always been bad (for the most part, at least).

[RNR]

That's pretty much the reason i'm posting here. I like rock music but it started the get really crappy for the most part right around the mid 80s.

I can't be expected to go find every single band that's not in the mainstream. Though badmoon's jam list has helped.

[Creedence Clearwater]

That's pretty much the reason i'm posting here. I like rock music but it started the get really crappy for the most part right around the mid 80s.

I can't be expected to go find every single band that's not popular already. Though badmoon's jam list has helped.

So you look to go pre mid 80's for you classic rock, I look either side of 1965.

[Creedence Clearwater]

See, badmoon knew I was only talking about the mainstream. 3 chords is good but with some good songwriting.

Mainstream music is bland before it is easier to market.

[Illmatic]

Well, no, what I'm saying is, mainstream rock has almost always been lousy. The bands that got the most airplay in the 70's were generic, anemic arena-rock bands.

You can always ask the alt/indie forum about good current music. Even if they may try to tell you that Coheed and Cambria and The Mars Volta are good.

The Mars Volta isn't that bad.

Arena rock is awesome, I says ;). Though there doesn't seem to be much of it now :(.

Ac/dc tour soon though.

[Creedence Clearwater]

Say Stadium rock, it sounds cooler

[6Stringer]

what do you think about king crimson? i just got a copy of "in the court of king crimson" and love it. i think i found a new favorite band.

[Illmatic]

All the lightweight bands like Free, Bad Company, and AC/DC?

I also forgot about another 70's abomination: pushover corporate rock acts like Steve Miller, The Eagles, and Billy Joel.

EDIT: to rock not roll

[RNR]

Say Stadium rock, it sounds cooler

So it does :eek:

These new bands can't put on the same kind of show as the older ones. Atleast Ac/dc and Areosmith can rock like hell. What can Nickleback or 3 Doors Down do? Nothing at al :mad:

I'm going to resort to jam, blues and old burned out bands from the 70s who need more money for my concerts

[Woodstock]

All the lightweight bands like Free, Bad Company, and AC/DC?

I also forgot about another 70's abomination: pushover corporate rock acts like Steve Miller, The Eagles, and Billy Joel.
Hey!

I love Steve Miller Band.

[Creedence Clearwater]

I like the Eagles?

[Creedence Clearwater]

Hey!

I love Steve Miller Band.

I liken The Joker, does that mean i like Steve Miller

[RNR]

EDIT: to rock not roll

Hehe, yeah. I'll admit some of those bands are pretty lame.

Not AC/DC though :angry:

Fine, point taken.

But out of 30 years of music there are enough good bands that are well known for me to listen to. Plus some newer stuff.

Where's b0nz0? You'd think that he would be trying to catch up and all.

[Illmatic]

Fair nuff.

[Creedence Clearwater]

So nobody ealse is gonna stand up for the eagles?

[Woodstock]

I dont like the Eagles, though Joe Walsh is sweet. AC/DC is meh. And Steve Miller Band is great.

[RNR]

So nobody ealse is gonna stand up for the eagles?

I'll say Hotel California is fun to listen to every week or so.

That's it.

Don Henley solo is a lot more interesting.

[Schyma]

Random: I went to Mexico last year brang out my guitar and a group of Mexicans came up and said "Hotel California" in broken english. So apparently it was real big down there.

Eagles bore me though.

[Badmoon]

I like The Eagles.

[magicbus]

I like The Eagles. Don Henley is an amazing singer.

[B0nz0]

sorry boys, i had to go take a final
but i'm back. and try not to bash the eagles. I'm a huge joe walsh fan. they were kind of soft and some of their songs irritate me (lyin' eyes). but overrall i think they are quite good. and u can't knock hotel california. take it easy and life in the fast lane are also great. on the lesser known side i'm a big fan of pretty maids all in a row, in the city, and victim of love. already gone is good too and i like take it to the limit.

so what else has been up boys and girls?

[B0nz0]

Your thread, B0nzo, is just about the only reason i come online anymore.

thank you thank you, and yes thank god for three chord songs or learning to play would really suck

[Woodstock]

Well, I love Joe Walsh, I just dont like the Eagles.

[B0nz0]

Welcome back, you need to post more often ;)

I love Trilogy, and I have been looking for Tarkus. How is it?

i was going to ask a similar question, but i hear it's quite good. that's just what i hear though, i'm still looking for it. speaking of rare cds, i'm right now searching for the traveling wilburys volume 1. for those of you who haven't heard of them, the traveling wilburys were a short lived SUPER super group (i mean the definition of super group, this line up was insane, made CSNY look like, well look like not superstars). The band was composed of get this: George Harrison, Jeff Lynne, Bob Dylan, Roy Orbinson, and Tom Petty. And the album got great reviews. unfortunately it's out of print. but with that line up it's hard to go wrong.

[Woodstock]

I've heard of them before, never knew that was the line up though. Wow.

[B0nz0]

yes, i'd like to thank you all for keeping this alive in my absence. I would particularly like to thank the original mx fathers of time. How many of u guys are still here, i've already seen rock not roll and badmoon, but how many more of the originals remain? also thanks for making my thread the largest on the front page of the rock & metal forum. you guys are truly amazing.

Back to music - so i know it's not really classic rock, but what do u guys think of Trans-Siberian Orchestra? I'm going to see them dec 27th at madison square garden and i hear they're spectacular live, so i'm pretty pumped!

[Woodstock]

No, I haven't heard anything by the Trans-Siberian Orchestra.

[B0nz0]

they kind of mesh rock and roll and classical music, but it sounds really awesome. think and edgier heavier electric light orchestra.

[Woodstock]

Well, maybe I'll just look into this.

Tell me more about The Traveling Wilburys, do you have any of their albums?

[magicbus]

BoBo was talking about them in our chat yesterday, but other than that, I've never heard of them.

[B0nz0]

Tell me more about The Traveling Wilburys, do you have any of their albums?

they only have two albums, both of which are out of print. meaning i'm searching for them. they disbanded shortly after roy orbinson died. but check out the songs "handle with care," "dirty world," or "end of the line" for a good sampling

and trans-siberian orchestra is quite good. i'd recommend checking out "Christmas Eve (Sarajevo 12/24)", their rendition of carol of the bells. really kicks a$$.

[thickasabrick]

i really like the eagles. great music, and it's nice and relaxing to listen to. a lot of california bands were doing that at the time, fleetwood mac, steve miller possibly, you get the idea. all good bands.

and i realize i call a lot of bands amazing, but the Travelling Wilburies are THE band! simply amazing. the contrast between all of them is great, and their songwriting is the best ever, like just think about who is all in it. i like it best when Roy Orbison sings, man i love his voice. Dylans voice is so comical compared to the other guys.

[B0nz0]

i'm a big harrison fan, but i love em all

[Badmoon]

"End of the Line" is a really cool song.

[B0nz0]

hey badmoon, just the person i was looking for. i wanna thank u for helping to keep this alive from the very beginning. are any other originals still left? i saw rock not roll earlier...

[thickasabrick]

one time i was driving around and a travelling wilburies ALBUM came on (that's right, they played the entire album, it was midnight and they always do that)

great stuff. i gotta go though.

[B0nz0]

k bye, and badmoon or rock not roll, tell me what's been going on

[RNR]

Me, badmoon and rock and roll are still here. DVG might post once every month or so. The fathers of time really went away and such, just because we didn't really see the point and wanted different user titles.

Anyways, good to have ya back :D

There are some new folk who you will notice.

Good point on the 3 chord songs by the way ;)

[B0nz0]

thank you i love you as always. i'll prob change the title soon, but the icon might stay a while. it's pretty awesome

[magicbus]

Just for clarification, what might I classify The Band and Neil Young under?

[jpj]

To catch up if anyonee says anything bad about Steve Miller I will eat their children.

Trans-Siberian Orchestra is kickass, their version of Carol of Bells was on the radio today, and it was one of the coolest things I've ever heard.

ELP is great, especially their version of Peter Gunn.

Today I got Blues Traveler-s/t, Four
The Band-Rock of Ages Vol.1(vinyl)

Hello b0nz0, you probably don't know me because I'm not an original :(

[RNR]

Just for clarification, what might I classify The Band and Neil Young under?
Neil Young is folk/country rock.

[magicbus]

Ok. I thought it was folk rock, but I heard someone say roots rock and didn't know what that was.

Hello b0nz0, you probably don't know me because I'm not an original :(

nice to meet you. check out more trans-siberian, that's just their best known song. they do a wicked version of beethoveens fifth, and have the best christmas albums i've ever heard (and i usually hate holiday music). ugh i wish i had more elp, i only have like 5 songs on my comp (my college is being very difficult when it comes to illegal downloading, though sending over aim is still good, so if anyone wants to swap stuff over aim let me know) and peter gunn is not one of them... steve miller is quite good.

and the band and neil young are Folk Rock.

but everyone check out Trans-Siberian Orchestra! they are spectacular musicians, and have a really awesome style.

[jpj]

peter gunn is not one of them...
Are you trying to tell me they didn't do a version of Peter Gunn? Because they did :confused:

[Schyma]

wow - bonzo is here! the person thaty started it all! :thumb:

i'm glad to be back, and happy to see that what was once a small thread and an island in a sea of metallica threads has grown into something truly great thanks to you guys. (i'd love to take credit for it but i disappeared for like the last 6 months) But yea when i started this thread i seriously didn't think it would make it 3 days before being bumped. you people restored my faith in music, and thank u for making it the largest front page thread on rock and metal. keep up the good work.

[jpj]

I have it, but it's at my dad's...sorry :(

[B0nz0]

Oh, I misread it.

/feels stupid :(

i forgive you... i really wish i had more elp, especially that song, father christmas, and live stuff. all i have are two parts of karn evil 9, lucky man, hoe down, and one other song that sux...

[jpj]

Hoe down is awesome, we have videos of my brother dancing to it when he was like 2......I still dance to it.

[B0nz0]

it kicks A$$. bela fleck does a mean version of it as well. do u like asia? it was basically elp and yes combined, but i don't know any of their stuff. i really want to hear more of them...

[jpj]

I haven't heard any of Asia's stuff, but I love Yes and ELP so I'd probably like them. Bela Fleck is awesome, I was thinkng about going to see him, but I had to choose between him and Gov't Mule so I picked Mule.

[B0nz0]

tough choice. o well i'm out for the night, but fear not, i shall return tommorow. again thanx guys for keeping the thread alive in my absence... go now young grasshoppers and continue to love the classic rock!

[jpj]

Nighty :wave:

So Blue Traveler is awesome....

Is 13 the name of a Doors' record or does jpj have 13 doors albums?

[jpj]

It's the name of a Doors album. Yes, you heard correct I only have one Doors album :(

[clown_phobia]

you should look out for the box set I described earlier! Very cheap also! (15.20 US / 19.95 australian)

[Schyma]

All 6 Doors (studio) albums are great. Get all of them:

1. S\T
2. Strange Days
3. L.A. Woman
4. Waiting for the Sun
5. Morrison Hotel
6. The Soft Parade

In that order ^

[RockAndRoll]

hey and you guys said I was the only one with the fathers of time thing! way to keep the tradition alive bonzo.

As for the doors I have a sweet the vhs set of the doors.

[jpj]

JPJ! W00t up your post #17000!
Sweet I just realized :thumb:

[RockAndRoll]

Putting the soft parade 6th was a mistake, soft parade is awesome.

[clown_phobia]

what is MX fathers of time?

[Schyma]

Is Pictures at a Exhibition any good? (ELP)

[Woodstock]

Is Pictures at a Exhibition any good? (ELP)
The only really good, remotely famous albums by them are Tarkus and Trilogy

[Schyma]

Putting the soft parade 6th was a mistake, soft parade is awesome.

I know I love it but its not "true" Doors. The Doors should've never sounded like that. Kreiger was putting out some brilliant songs though.("Tell all the people" and "Touch Me")

[Schyma]

But have you heard it?

[RockAndRoll]

I know I love it but its not "true" Doors. The Doors should've never sounded like that. Kreiger was putting out some brilliant songs though.("Tell all the people" and "Touch Me")
why don't you think they should've sounded like that?

[Schyma]

Compare it to their other albums. Jim was in a songwritting slump and they were only sounding like that because the Beatles were doing it. (instrumental)

[RNR]

what do you mean?

I have Morrison Hotel and LA Women. I bet I could get Strange Days, S/t, and the soft parade for about $35.

what is MX fathers of time?

It was a classic rock clan that we had going in this thread a while back. We deiceed it was a dumb idea and so it dispanded. We don't need stupid avatars and user titles to show our loves of classic rock, we just need to post in this thread.

[RockAndRoll]

Compare it to their other albums. Jim was in a songwritting slump and they were only sounding like that because the Beatles were doing it. (instrumental)
Nah. Okay lets take a look at the album. It starts with tell all the people and touch me which are two not completely dissimilar songs. these songs are doors songs, they sound like some of the doors more groovin songs, except they have replaced alot of the keyboard groovin has been replaced with brass instruments.

Then in the middle there's some sort of slide guitar, jazzish drums and slightly darker vocals and keyboards, but that's not uncommon to the doors.

Then we've got the stuff where the music just changes completely in a couple of the songs at the end. Although this is not a completely common thing in doors music it certainly helped make the soft parade and is not a completely undoorsy thing to do.

And you've got wishful sinful which is an undoubtedly, indebatebly doors song, and a great one at that.

[Schyma]

Then we've got the stuff where the music just changes completely in a couple of the songs at the end. Although this is not a completely common thing in doors music it certainly helped make the soft parade and is not a completely undoorsy thing to do.

And you've got wishful sinful which is an undoubtedly, indebatebly doors song, and a great one at that.

Tr00f but Jim's songwritting was weaker than usaul (IMO) that is uncommon. My point was that instrumental is not the Doors style. It was a very good album but again it just wasn't The Doors.

[KARMAPOL1CE]

Anyone here into Crimson?

[RockAndRoll]

Crimson is awesome.

I have finally found Wake of the Flood ! :cool:

It seems like most will tell you that Highway 61 Revisited is one of Dylan's best, and I agree.

[Badmoon]

It was a classic rock clan that we had going in this thread a while back. We deiceed it was a dumb idea and so it dispanded. We don't need stupid avatars and user titles to show our loves of classic rock, we just need to post in this thread.

Show respect to the clan. We stopped it because we wanted new avatars and usertitles.

[Badmoon]

Today I got Blues Traveler-s/t, Four

Get Travelers & Thieves, that's the best one.

[Schyma]

<<<<New avatar

[RNR]

No avatar talk in the thread please.


Eh, people say that Highway 61 Revisited is Dylan's best. It has some good songs and then it has the amazo0rific Like A Rolling Stone. Many will argue that blood on the tracks or Blond On Blond are better.

It's alllll a matter of opinion.

It's also a known fact that all magazines must reguard Highway 61 Revisited as Dylan's best. 'Tiss the law.

[IAJP]

It seems like most will tell you that Highway 61 Revisited is one of Dylan's best, and I agree.
I still really like
"the free wheelin' bob dylan"
allthough He hasn't released any bad ones.

[Schyma]

Its his most important but I dont think its his best. I perfer Bringing It All Back Home

[jpj]

Get Travelers & Thieves, that's the best one.
I thought you said Four was thier best :confused: Travelers&Thieves was far too expensive anyway*.






*I didn't want to pay 4 bucks more

[Badmoon]

Well, I lied to you then. Because Travelers & Thieves > Four.

And I have no comment on the price, I bought mine all used.

[RNR]

Used is the way to go ;) I got all of my Jeff Healey albums used (exept for hell to pay).

Who in their right mind wouldn't want a jeff Healey album anymore?!? :mad: :(

Badmoon, have you got any of his albums yet> You said you would get around to it.

[jpj]

I bought mine used too for $5.99 each, but Travelers&Thieves was $9.99.

[Badmoon]

Its his most important but I dont think its his best. I perfer Bringing It All Back Home

Me too :) And Freewheelin'.

What should I review today? :( I don't know.

[hypocracy hater]

Hey, I'm listening to 'Live and Dangerous' tis good, what are your thoughts on lizzy ????

[guitrguy]

I bought mine used too for $5.99 each, but Travelers&Thieves was $9.99.
$9.99 isn't that bad. I was under the impression that it was about $20

[IAJP]

Hey, I'm listening to 'Live and Dangerous' tis good, what are your thoughts on lizzy ????
It's awesome,
probbably one of the best live albums out there,
the version of "Jail Break" And "Boys Are Back In Town" are fantastic, brilliant album.

[jpj]

$9.99 isn't that bad. I was under the impression that it was about $20
It's actualy a good price, but I'm a cheap bastard and I also wanted to get Rock of Ages on vinyl and I wouldn't have been able to get ti if I got Travelers&Thieves.

I think Freewheelin' and Highway 61 Revisited are his best, but it is opinion.

I chose those two mainly becuase of Masters of War and Queen Jane Approximately, I never get sick of those songs.

Edit. I made my Top 25 R&M poster list.

[Badmoon]

Rock not Roll and Others: I have samples to give out in about 40 minutes.

I have to go to guitar lessons.

The band I am sampling is a strange mix of Punk and Folk in a way. You have probably heard their name.

[jpj]

Punk and Folk? Flogging Molly?

[Badmoon]

That's Punk and Celtic Folk, asshole. :p

[Woodstock]

Punk and Folk? Flogging Molly?
I've heard of them, never listened to thier stuff though.

[Badmoon]

The Punk is there. But it is light, and not like you have heard. They don't use distorion and they have a sense of melody. The Folk/County is debatable, but I see it in their writing, their harmony, and their guitar playing.

[jpj]

That's Punk and Celtic Folk, asshole. :p
Well soooory dickweasel :angry: :p

[guitrguy]

That's Punk and Celtic Folk, asshole. :p
How about you just say their name asshole.

This is my first listen to Freewheelin'.

I think I allready have that on my computer,
along with "Look into the eyeball" by David Byrne, they're sample music y'see.
On the topic of David Byrne, does anyone like The Talking Heads?

Rhapsody is great!

Yeah, the Talking Heads are a great band. I only have Fear O Music by them but it's really good.

Would they be considered prog rock?

Hmmm, I don't really know,
I'd say proto-punk or pop-punk.
I love psycho killer, once in a lifetime, burning down the house etc
Incredibly underated IMO.

And highway blues ???
Yeah that's the other one, i couldn't remember what it was.

[Woodstock]

I made a new thread, mainly because I'm bored.

I was about to post mine too.

[guitrguy]

Do you have to pay for Rhapsody?
$10 a month, but all the songs you DL are saved on a server, so It does slow your comp down. And it is all legal.

[jpj]

Then I'll just stick to Launchcast.

[Schyma]

Who here uses Soulseek?

[Woodstock]

I use Musicmatch Jukebox. It has internet radio, and it's a burning/recording system. It came with our computer, so I dont know how much it costs.

Isn't that a P2P system?

[IAJP]

Cool. If your using it now, go to a room and tell me the name of the room.

I'll go on it later dude,

Did I say I want any?

[Badmoon]

Well, you act as though you are curious. So, you are either expecting them or you are trying to be a funny. Now please, quit associating yourself with subjects you have no interest in, and save us some time.

[guitrguy]

I was actually mocking you but whatever.

[Badmoon]

And you have obviously succeded :rolleyes:

[RNR]

I made a new thread, mainly because I'm bored.

Edit: Yeah, ok, who closed it.

I felt bad for you suckness so I bumped your CSNY thread.

Buffalo Springfield, man! :D

[Schyma]

I finaly have Wake of The Flood! :)

[KARMAPOL1CE]

Well did some Christmas shopping today, and I got:

A few records for my sister Kara
CSNY - Daylight Again
CSNY - Allies
George Harrison - Living in the Material World
Jethro Tull - Minstrel in the Gallery
Blackfoot - Marauder
Heart - Little Queen

(No idea if they are any good, but original records are cool to have anyway)

I got my other sister Kind of Blue by Miles Davis

And I got my dad Joe's Garage by Frank Zappa.

[RNR]

:thumb: to both people who just got albums ;)

[Badmoon]

I finaly have Wake of The Flood! :)

Nice

[IAJP]

omg!
I just found this pink floyd album,
"Relics"
the stuff on it is gold!

Edit:
Upstairs...not just outside.

[RNR]

It must be nice to just find albums...

[RNR]

I get to borrow my parent's stuff. But it's still theirs. I borrow some of their Neil Young and Bob Dylan stuff.

[IAJP]

That's the Barrett era compilation, right? I like a lot of stuff he did, although I think he's overhyped a bit, because of all the mystique around him.
The albums gold, nothing bad on it.
And to Rock_not_roll,
I allways borrow stuff off my parents, when I say borrow, I mean "Take" without asking, and never give it back:).

[RNR]

:thumb: the way to be.

Sheeshers, if I knew 3 years ago that I would be borrowing albums from my parents I would have been freaked out.

[IAJP]

:thumb: the way to be.

Sheeshers, if I knew 3 years ago that I would be borrowing albums from my parents I would have been freaked out.
:lol: same here,
I've grown to not give one now though.

[Woodstock]

Yeah...I normally borrow a whole load of Simon & Garfunkel and Springsteen stuff, along with any classical music, if I'm in that sort of mood. Other than that, the collection's pretty bare.
I possibly could help you out. What are you looking for?

[Woodstock]

:thumb: the way to be.

Sheeshers, if I knew 3 years ago that I would be borrowing albums from my parents I would have been freaked out.
Same here, I remember hating them for putting the Beatles on during vacation car trips.

[jpj]

My dad used to always play Sgt. Peppers in the car and I always got mad, oh how things have changed.

[Woodstock]

My dad used to always play Sgt. Peppers in the car and I always got mad, oh how things have changed.
They would put on The Beatles 1, and I'd hate the beginning poppy stuff, and I'd think the later stuff was weird.

You're very right, things have changed so much.

[IAJP]

My dad used to always play Sgt. Peppers in the car and I always got mad, oh how things have changed.
Exactly,
I can't imagine me liking any other music now thinking about it.
Oh yeah, has anyone heard the Led Zeppelin song "Celebration Day" ?
:amaze:
song and a half...

[IAJP]

They would put on The Beatles 1, and I'd hate the beginning poppy stuff, and I'd think the later stuff was weird.

You're very right, things have changed so much.
I don't like any of the songs on that album up to "Hard Days Night"
Were they started writing about stuff other than 'wanting to hold someones hand# but being scared to ask,
looking back on it, those songs were pretty gay.

[Woodstock]

Yeah, but those gay little songs got them pretty far.

[IAJP]

Yeah, but those gay little songs got them pretty far.
True,
but listening to songs like "Mother Natures Son" completley blows all the early stuff out the water.

[appreciate_it]

They would put on The Beatles 1, and I'd hate the beginning poppy stuff, and I'd think the later stuff was weird.

You're very right, things have changed so much.

exactly the same. Dad would put on jethro tull, beatles and trying to convince me on how incredible 70's music was and how 90's music was so crap. And i used to think, god, he's such an old bugger, he obviously has no music taste. haha. i laugh at myself.

[thickasabrick]

today me and a friend both went shopping for our "girlfriends"

he got his girl a Clapton greatest hits cd, and Houses of the Holy...

my girl isn't into that kinda stuff, so i had to buy her a Big and Rich cd, a Country hits compilation, and a Hilary Duff calender.

why can't we just switch girlfriends.

but my brother and sister are buying me the Blonde on Blonde record for christmas, i'm very excited.

[IAJP]

I bloody love Jethro Tull,
Thick As A Brick is one of my favourite albums of all time.
And Aqualung of course.

[Illmatic]

Never a big fan of the Tull.

[thickasabrick]

jethro tull is where it's at. actually they aren't my favourite band, but i like how they expanded over so many different genres. no album of theirs sounded like their last one, they were always taking different directions.

anyone here vote in that top 40 r&mers dealy? i don't even think i could name 20 people on here.

[IAJP]

I voted but it was a roughy.
Do you have a passion play?
what an awesome album!

[thickasabrick]

I voted but it was a roughy.
Do you have a passion play?
what an awesome album!

i dont believe i have that album. i have:

Stand Up, Aqualung, Thick as a Brick, Minstrel in the Gallery, Songs from the Wood, Living in the Past, and Under Wraps.

i have doubles or triples of all of them, because my friends always borrow them. (except Living in the Past, no one touches it!)

and i have a sub-par greatest hits cd, but let us not speak of that.

[magicbus]

Deja Vu is a sweet cd. I knew I'd heard Carry On before. Can anybody send me The Band's brown album (forget the name), and Tull's Aqualung and Thick As A Brick?

[IAJP]

thick as a brick is classic,
I love the acoustic guitar work on that album, I also really like the live version too :thumb:

[IAJP]

I only have the band by the band sorry,
but I have both those tull songs.

[Jam2Me]

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?


This is now a Classic Rock Discussion thread!
Yeah there's a lot of kids getting into classic rock in my school, like myself, but I think the real revival is happening on the jam band scene, it's amazing right now and I want to experience every part of it because I think someday my kids will be asking me if I liked bands like Phish, Widespread Panic, Gov't Mule, Addison Groove Project, DMB, etc. However the classic rock revival is nowhere near as strong as the "emo" craze going around...don't get me started on that :D

>new here<

[jpj]

Yayz for Mule :D

[Jam2Me]

Yeah I love Mule, but not as much as the Allman Bros. which fit perfectly in this classic rock thread...any fans of them here (semi-redundant question)?

I like all of their stuff, Haynes and Derek Trucks only got me into them more.
My favorite stuff though is all of the Duane stuff.

[Seafroggys]

They would put on The Beatles 1, and I'd hate the beginning poppy stuff, and I'd think the later stuff was weird.

You're very right, things have changed so much.

Wow. I was already hardcore Beatles fan for over a year by the time I got 1. You're all n00bs.

Rock, sign on Aim. I have two samples I want to give out.

[Schyma]

Im getting 50$ worth of CDs what should I get? Im thinking Neil Young's Harvest. (so far)

[guitrguy]

Some Harrison definetly.

[Woodstock]

It's good to see magicbus likes Deja Vu.

Schyma00, get Harvest or After The Goldrush.

And I just got Blonde On Blonde.

[Broken Arrow]

After reading like 15 pages the only thing I feel like replying to is that how Schyma000 out Morrison Hotel as their fifth best album.

This leaves me in bitter outrage ---- :angry:

[Illmatic]

Does Clapton's solo career irritate anyone else?

He just kind of put it on autopilot and floated through it...there's no passion.

That's actually a very good way to describe it, and I dont really listen to his solo career that much for that very reason.

"All things must pass" is a classic for all time. And a great "Jam" finish.

Yea, his solo career leaves a lot to ask for. Whenever a Cream song comes on he says "Yep, this was before Clapton turned gay."

I always thought that was funny.

If you like ATMP then I suggest the 1979 self title :thumb:

And yeah Clapton's 80's solo career was sub-par...I like his CD chronicles, he's older but the songs are still good, but I'm not sure what year most of those songs are from.

[Illmatic]

Unplugged is pretty good.

No passion.........his son died.........still no passion?

What about the 22 years between the time Derek and the Dominos broke up and when his son died? All tired, mediocre blues-rock.

Were they started writing about stuff other than 'wanting to hold someones hand# but being scared to ask,

don't be ignorant young man! those are still top notch pop songs! the lyrics may be simple, but the melodies were astonishing.

i used to feel the same away about the beatles as you did. i found the early pop stuff to be lame and the old stuff to be weird. but then i realized how delightful their early stuff was, and eventually i was turned on to their older stuff. even now, i prefer the latter material, and i think i always will.

but i still love the early stuff! it's almost like a different band. like i said before, their early stuff is still top notch!

[fitzy]

this thread rules. everything else on this board makes me vomit.

[STP]

I got Blonde On Blonde, comment.

Yea, I recently heard Harrison doing Absolutely Sweet Marie.

:thumb:

[lunch998]

The thing that annoyed me the most about Clapton's solo career was that he left the Yardbirds because they were getting "Too Poppy", but then he went on to release I Shot the Sheriff and other things like that.

Oh, I finally got The Who Sings My Generation on CD.

[Woodstock]

Yeah, it's great and all, but I really miss the rich organs that Highway 61 Revisited had :upset:
Does anyone agree with this?

I like Highway 61 more than Blonde on Blonde.

About damn time.

And does that "Shoot the duck and win a free Nintendo DS" ad piss anyone else off? I'm trying to listen to music and that ****ing laughing dog cuts in.

No need, have it, love it. Maybe Ill get Cloud Nine aswell.
Cloud 9 has 3 good songs on it, don't get it.

Everyone (and they are correct in thinking this) thinks th ealbum is good because Tom Petty and Jeff Lynne are on it but they are wrong :( It's a disappointment

[lunch998]
