Classic Rock

[guitrguy]

No, but it was a list that I put away awhile ago, and then randomly found on my kitchen table. I put it together to make the assumption that someone bought some of them for me. I could be wrong though.
Seems logical.

[RNR]

In about two hours on PBS, there's going to be highlights of the Crossroads Guitar Festival, hosted none other than Eric Clapton, who was mentioned on the first page of this thread. Should rockz0rz all our collective sockz0rz.

That looks awesome. I might watch. I do hate PBS though.

[Woodstock]

I saw the Crossroads Festival a few weeks ago, it was very good.

You and me both. You really need some stars dude, you are one of the few good posters without stars.

[thickasabrick]

i thought i had stars :upset: ...unless i lost them recently.

and i made the top forty posters!!!! some of you must have placed me relatively high because i dont think anyone else out of this thread knows who i am really.

edit- no, they are certainly there!

[jpj]

Guitrguy, what are you talking about? He has stars.

[guitrguy]

o shiii... I have white background. Last i saw he didn't. But congrat on your stars.

[thickasabrick]

oh crazy guitrguy...

off topic: tonight me and my friends went to mcdonalds, and the girl working there was like hey you guys put away your garbage, and we say no..and she's like if you don't put that away, i'm going to get my boyfriend to beat you all up, you're lucky he's on house arrest.

some people really aggravate me.

anyone know the name of that band who sings the song Switching to Glide? or whatever it's called?

[guitrguy]

When did you get your stars?

[jpj]

I think The Kings sing Switching to Glide, but I'm not sure.

[thickasabrick]

I think The Kings sing Switching to Glide, but I'm not sure.

oh right that's who it was. i kept thinking The Kinks and i was certain it wasn't them

and i got my stars today, thanks for the congrats.

We never really talked about playing classic rock, which is kinda wierd since we are all musicians. What are your favorite songs to play? I've been playin Ohio, even though I can't find a good tab, so it's mostly from ear, and Hotel California, along with anything that has a wah in it, so a lot of Cream and Hendrix.

do you play acoustic guitar?

[guitrguy]

Ya, Kinda obvious huh?

[thickasabrick]

i'm an acoustic guy, mainly bluegrass though. but it's always fun to play along with some folk/classic rock.

today i actually decided to pick up my electric (dust it off) and learn Time by Pink Floyd. It's such an emotional solo i just wanna cream my pants, so i just had to learn it. Then i got sidetracked with a song i was writing on my organ so i never learned the end of the solo.

edit- i don't actually play a lot of real songs, except bluegrass songs. i prefer writing my own songs or just improvising.

[guitrguy]

Same here, I usually don't play my electric because my amp sucks (MG30DFX). MY acoustic has a good enough tone that I actually prefer it to my electric.

that's true. if christmas and drugs don't get the best of me. i've spent so much money in the past month it's not even funny.

k do you guys like the Zeppelin song Hot Dog?
i was reading a review of the album In Through the Out Door, and the guy rated it 1/5. i actually love that song, it's so fun and uplifting. i think it's one of the best songs from the album.

[guitrguy]

I haven't heard it so I can't say.

[thickasabrick]

I haven't heard it so I can't say.

hm ok.

it's actually more umm..whats the word...i don't wanna say bluegrassy because it isn't like that. but close. most of their other songs had more of a rock or blues feel than this one, plus a few of their more folkish songs. this one is different than those. i can't find a good way to describe it.

but it's got some entertaining lyrics.

"i took her love at seventeen, a little late these days it seems"

[jpj]

Money, The Ocean, Black Dog, Aqualung, Ramble On, Dazed and Confused, and the very tiny portion of The Lemon Song I can play.

By the way I play bass.

[Walrus Gumboot]

The lemon song is all Bass... great bass song, also "what is and what should never be"

I saw that and told him what he had done.

[thickasabrick]

did you know dylan did a version of that song "man of constant sorrow," i actually think the Soggy Bottom Boys or whoever actually sang it in the movie, did it better.

and way to tell him livewired.

[Woodstock]

I don't have that soundtrack, I heard it was good.

What songs are on it?

[jpj]

That's a pretty good movie, but I've only heard that one song from the soundtrack.

It sure is.

There is also a really good acoustic song. It is "I'm a man Of Constant Sorrow" but done all on acoustic with no singing. It's by Norman Blake or something.

it's not stealing, it's borrowing. don't get me started on this.

k i'm sure we've talked about this before, and there have been threads made...but what is everyones favourite led zeppelin song?

i'd have to say Hey Hey What Can I Do, Gallows Pole, or Since I've Been Loving You.

[JonG]

Hey Hey What Can I Do, That's The Way, Over The Hills and Far Away, Bring It On Home

[Broken Arrow]

It changes ever so much but at the time being I say In My Time of Dying, Bring it on Home, When the Levee Breaks and That's The Way.

[keep on phishin']

Bring It on Home and Kashmir

[thickasabrick]

i prefer their acoustic stuff, but i like it when they play blues songs as well.

does anyone know if Syd Barret was actually a good guitar player? i've heard people say he was amazing, but i've never heard anything too dazzling by him. can anyone clear this up for me and maybe give me a few songs that might showcase his playing?

[jpj]

MY favorite Zep song changes every week. Right now I'm gonna have to go with Babe, I'm Gonna Leave You.

[jasmin]

stariway to heaven, thankyou, black dog, whole lotta love, babe im gonna leave you

[RadialOpium]

my music interest changed a lot over the years from rap to that gothic **** then I started listening to classic rock with everything from the 60s 70s and 80s and I've never been happier

[RCA]

Favorite Zep song = Kashmir

[Mister_Che]

Favorite Zep song = Kashmir

Amen to that :thumb:

[thickasabrick]

hey jasmin you accidently put Best when it should have been Favourite. Don't get the two confused.

and way to go RadialOpium, what are some of your favourite bands? (classic rock bands of course)

[Jam2Me]

Going to California, Tangerine, and Over the Hills and Far Away

[RNR]

Good god, guys. You know how i get when you talk about Led Zeppelin in the thread :mad:

What's everyone's favorite song by Cream? Mine has to be sunshine of your love. That's such a great song, it's hard to deny.

[jpj]

God there's so many.

Sunshine of Your Love, Crossroads, Tales of Brave Ulysess, Politician, and so many others.

[thickasabrick]

haha, the second i mentioned zeppelin about a hundred noobs show up.

i actually don't really have a favourite song by cream. i like so many of their songs. they didn't have enough time to start making bad music together. Sunshine of Your Love is probably their definitive song though, so i may have to say that.

edit- and sometimes i get confused over whether i'm hearing Cream or Claptons solo career/other bands he's been in.

[Jam2Me]

I sunno why but I can't seem to get into Cream head over heels, obviously Sunshine of Your Love but other then that I'm not really into it, I 'm not crazy about the vocals I think that's the main reason. I think they do "White Room" and I like that one.

[jpj]

Yea, the do White Room. What have you heard by them?

[RNR]

The White Room's an awesome song too.

Actually, most Cream songs are awesome.

[thickasabrick]

well they were definitely all musicians before they were singers. i think they all just picked up singing along the way, it was never something they never intended on doing seriously. clapton ain't a bad singer though. i actually like his voice.

[keep on phishin']

I really like Sunshine of Your Love and Tales of Brave Ulysses

[Broken Arrow]

What review should I do next boys?

It's weird how Mx wants to change the C.D. Review forum into a knew site but I think It sounds like a pretty good idea.

EDIT: Myu favourite Cream song is Sweet Wine right now.

[Jam2Me]

Yea, the do White Room. What have you heard by them?
White Room, Sunshine of Your Love, Tales of Brave Ulysses, and Strange Brew. That's about it.
And is it weird that I love Derek & The Dominoes and I'm not like crazy about Cream?

[jpj]

Listen to Disraeli Gears or The Very Best of Cream.

[slowhand]

Cream is the creme de la creme!!!

Okay, I'll leave now, I've finished my ranting.

Lynyrd could have would have and should have been much greater, if they didn't have the crash.

I'm sure they would have ended up with 10 good songs.

But I doubt they would have surpassed Neil.

[keep on phishin']

Skynyrd used to be one of my favorite bands, now I don't like them at all.

[Illmatic]

Skynyrd is pretty lousy, but I was never able to get into Neil Young. I like "For What It's Worth" (Buffalo Springfield) and "Ohio" (CSN&Y) but beyond that, I could do without.

I think they could've been huge, Ronnie VanZant was friggin' amazing.

And Neil Young was a fan of Skynyrd and vice versa.
Skynyrd has more hits then you think too, I think they were just about to get big when the crash happened :(
And I'm a huge Skynyrd fan and to be honest I hardly like Freebird in fact I don't like it much at all. I like the fact it's dedicated to Duane Allman though.

[DeusExMachina]

I haven't heard much Skynyrd, but I'm not a big fan of Free Bird. Too disorganized, in my opinion.

I know this is a classic rock thread and whatnot, but I just thought I'd like to point out, you should be more open minded before blasting an entire genre. If some huge rap fan said to you "man, Classic Rock is a bunch of whiney talentless hacks, they all suck!" you'd be pretty pissed, wouldn't you? Well, its a two way street. And saying "well, I'm right and they're wrong" makes you look like a five year old. There are some unbelievably talented rappers. Are they the most talented musicians? Maybe not. But the lyrics can be incredible, the music they write can be incredible. Does gangster rap tend to be repetitive and mindless? Sure, I'll agree that a lot of it is. But some rap is very good. With that in mind...

I'm starting to get really into The Who. I have Who Are You, My generation, and Tommy. Any suggestions on a good album I should look to pick up?

They don't respect the ones that came before them...and it's all opinion.

My favorite album is possibly Waiting for the Sun. I also like L.A. Woman and The Doors, but The Doors S-T sounds more amateurish compared to the others. Probably because all the tracks on that were done in a couple of takes.

And saying "well, I'm right and they're wrong" makes you look like a five year old. There are some unbelievably talented rappers. Are they the most talented musicians? Maybe not. But the lyrics can be incredible, the music they write can be incredible. Does gangster rap tend to be repetitive and mindless? Sure, I'll agree that a lot of it is. But some rap is very good.

:thumb:

Well put.

In fact, I'm gonna give you rep for that after I post this.

I'm starting to get really into The Who. I have Who Are You, My generation, and Tommy. Any suggestions on a good album I should look to pick up?

Who's Next, Quadrophenia, and The Who Sells Out are must-haves.

[DeusExMachina]

Dag. Thanks a lot. I'll look out for those.

[Curdy]

well the only classic rock i like is pink floyd, cause, one day me and my friends were all stoned, and then my friend pulled out dark side of the moon and made me listen to the whole cd with headphones on, and after that, i started looking at the world way differently.

other than that, i think classic rock bands are sort of dumb. i mean like.. led zepplin, they will never change, all there songs are there. thats it. no new songs or anything. i think people obsess over them too much, i see kids with led zepplin shirts, kiss shirts, ad/dc, but i ask them what there favorite songs are, and for example, i ask them whats your favorite led zepplin song, and they say stairway to heaven, and i ask there favorite album, and they say "i dont know..." like they dont even know any albums. it just pisses me off that they are trying to look so cool.

[Broken Arrow]

Dag. Thanks a lot. I'll look out for those.
I can't remeber what you said you had but " A Quick One" and "Live at Leeds" are amazing too.

[Illmatic]

I'm 16, this may sound strange but i love 80's metal + classic rock. My favorite bands are
Metallica, Twisted Sister, Def leppard, Quiet Riot, GnR, Bon Jovi (i know hes wega hair, but livin on a prayer is catchy), Steve Miller Band, Floyd, AC DC, Hendrix, some Motley Crue. Even though he's not rock, Bob Marley.

How could you like Metallica, Twisted Sister, Def Leppard, Quiet Riot, GnR, Bon Jovi, Steve Miller, AC/DC, and Motley Crue and complain about today's music? Damn noobs.

If you approach all music like that, you are looking for an upset.

[magicbus]

My mom got the soundtrack to the movie "O Brother Where Art Thou" from one of her co-workers. It's pretty good. Has anyone seen that movie/ heard the soundtrack?
That movie has one of the best soundtracks I've ever heard. Have that, but not the movie yet (also very good).

I'm starting to become convinced that The Band are one of the greatest bands ever. They're all very talented, write really good music, and it seems that they'd be very amusing to watch play. Robbie Robertson is a charisma powerhouse. Watching him play guitar is so awesome, he does all those little moves and stuff. I'm diggin this stuff man. I mean DIGGIN.

Well atleast you are open minded :rolleyes:

[DeusExMachina]

O Brother Where Art Thou has an amazing soundtrack. I love Alison Krauss SO MUCH. Also, its a great movie.

[Badmoon]

Yeah, she has a great voice.

[clown_phobia]

Does anyone prefer Pink Floyd The Wall the movie better than the album?

[Badmoon]

I don't commonly listen or watch either of them. So...kinda? :p

[bob the ripper apple.]

any body listen to 10 years after? i'd love to change the world is epic and its a great song to go to sleep to. high.


also.. rory.. rory gallagher? gallaghan? forgot the name. british guy. he owns, and in my opinion he was 20 years ahead of his time.

[magicbus]

I like a few of the songs better on the movie. Like Empty Spaces has more lyrics, which are awesome, and the animation with the song is amazing.

It is Gallagher. And I think he's Scottish, or Irish.

[Badmoon]

Yeah, they're pretty good. I'm pretty ignorant to them though :).

[DeusExMachina]

Does anyone prefer Pink Floyd The Wall the movie better than the album?

Well, animations are really cool in the movie, and the extra songs are cool. But, they really butchered some of the songs in the movie (namely, Mother) so, its a tough call. They're both great in their own ways.

[wanton]

I enjoy listening to them although I've only heard:

I'd Love to Change the World

Love Like A Man
Stoned Woman

[Badmoon]

What did you do to Duane!?!?!

[Schyma]

My favorite album is possibly Waiting for the Sun. I also like L.A. Woman and The Doors, but The Doors S-T sounds more amateurish compared to the others. Probably because all the tracks on that were done in a couple of takes.

It was still ****en amazing even if they only did it in a few takes. :angry: Your the 1st person to mention how great Waiting for the Sun is that Ive seen :) . It has my favorite song ("Spanish Caravan"), Part of "The Celebration of the Lizard King" ("Not to Touch the Earth") and possibly the greatest anti-war song ever ("The Unknown Solider"). If your a Doors fan and have not herad this album get it its well worth a listin.

[wanton]

What did you do to Duane!?!?!

I dressed him up and put pokadots on his guitar. :)

Classic Rock value of this post- If classic rock was a movie it would be Easy Rider. Great soundtrack to this movie, lol better than O Brother Where Art Thou? :D

I've gotta try watching next time under the influence of something, I'm debating between a couple choices.

[Badmoon]

Great soundtrack to this movie, lol better than O Brother Where Art Thou?

Not a chance. ;)

[lepkin]

the best soundtrack has to be from forest gump. great soundtrack, great movie :thumb:

[Johnny B. Good]

Royal Tennebaums has a reallllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllly good soundtrack and so is the soundtrack for Rushmore

It was a great movie. The end really pissed me off.

I really love the opener song. I think its "pusher" by steppenwolf.

I don't think this thread has ever covered steppenwolf.

O Brother Where Art Thou is up there, but Forrest Gump has the best soundtrack.

Steppenwolf are good, they actually have good stuff outside of Born To Be Wild. My dad has a few of their albums.

The only Steppenwolf album I've heard is Live, and I think it's really good.

Hey, guess what, *******! I'm breaking my ban to own you!

First of all, if you say you like Dark Side Of The Moon, than you basicly would like all of Pink Floyd. And if you like Pink Floyd, there are dozens of great prog bands which are classic rock that you would like.

When you say that Led Zeppelin will never change, that's completely stupid. They broke up SO OBVIOUSLY THEY CAN'T MAKE NEW SONGS IF THEY BROKE UP, *******. Secondly, if you listen to their first 2 studio albums and then listen to everything from Houses Of The Holy onwards, you will see a big change in their sound. Guess what, their sound did change! It's extremely diverse. So what if Led Zeppelin isn't coming out with any new music? That's why some nice people invented remastering so we can listen to their amazing music any time we want!

Ever think that maybe those people that you talked to are classic rock posers? They listen to maybe 2 songs and than wear the shirts? We in this thread are not like that. There are many people who are not like that, and it's very stupid to judge an entire period of time in music by a few idiots, who like purely hard rock classic rock. Classic rock is by no means represented by posers who wear band shirts of mainstream bands just to look cool. It's represented by this thread.

I doubt you've even heard 5 classic rock bands. You're making a judgement on something that you know nothing about, ya know what that's called, dumb****? It's called prejudice and that makes you a moronic ******* who needs to ask for their account on here to get deleted before you post some more.

I have read through most of this thread, heh which took a while, but I noticed you guys don't talk much about The Rolling Stones...I guess no one here is too interested in them or maybe you are and its implied that you guys are all big fans. I myself am not into them much, I have one of their greatest hits Cds which is good enough for me since I'm not too heavily into them.

[jpj]

I'm not a huge fan, but I like to lsten on occasion. I have the 40 Licks one, and it's all I need.

[Woodstock]

I love the Stones, they were really great songwriters.

They are ok, but im not really into them either.

[Woodstock]

I'm surprised you guy's don't like them that much. They've written some great songs, and when you have a greatest hits album with 40 songs, then I think they're pretty good

[Illmatic]

I like a few of their albums.

i have a lot of their later albums for some reason. Some Girls, Made in the Shade, Tatoo You, **** a few more but i can never remember them, and also the 40 licks cd. i want some of their sixties stuff but i can't find any around.

and i am a big fan. i wonder if the band would have been different if Brian Jones hadn't died. Because at one point of time he was their main songwriter/creative guy, but near the end of his life he didn't really do much. i wonder if he ever woulda made a come-back and started writing great songs again.

[guitrguy]

I'm surprised you guy's don't like them that much. They've written some great songs, and when you have a greatest hits album with 40 songs, then I think they're pretty good
They haven't really grab my attention you know, Most bands I listen to I can sit there listening to them and say "wow they are damn good"
But them I just don't get that feeling(im not insulting there talent)

[DeusExMachina]

I personally am a huge fan of the Rolling Stones. But no one does mention them on the forums... that's weird. Someone should start a Rolling Stones thread.

I did, go ahead and bump it. ;)

[thickasabrick]

i think they wrote some amazing songs, but over the decades their great songs kinda get forgotten or not noticed in the sea of their mediocre songs.

i really like:

Can't Always Get What You Want
Sympathy For the Devil
Jumpin Jack Flash
Paint It Black
Gimme Shelter
actually i just realized how long this list could go on for so i will stop.

[magicbus]

I enjoy a few Rolling Stones songs, but they're not my favorite band in the world. Kinda plain.

After heavy analysis of my dad's music collection, I've decided he like Jeff Beck, Santana, Yes, CSNY, Frank Zappa, SRV, and Hendrix the most. He has a shitload of other music, though. These artists just come up the most.

[Woodstock]

My Dad doesn't have one Hendrix album. I asked him why and he said, "Because everyone had one."

I still wish he had one.

[ledmyzeppelin]

i think led zeppelin is the best band, stairway to heaven is the best song that has ever been written, but i hate those kids that just listen to classic rock just cuz they think theyre coool....like ac/dc and metallica are the biggest in my school rite now, i can admit i liked acdc at one point, but i've been listening to the old stuff like foreigner, styx, the beatles, and many many others, its good that the other people are gettin' into great music but getting shirts and talking about it all the time and knowing nothing about it, is annoying

1. Stairway To Heaven is not the greatest song ever written.
2. Metallica is not Classic Rock.
3. Foreigner and Styx are poison to human ears.
4. Punctuation is the greatest thing ever, don't take it for granted.

i was like you at one point of time. some day you will grow to realize Stairway isn't as wonderful as you once thought. sure it's a great song, but you can't say it's the best that has ever been written. i'm not a fan of styx, but foreigner is decent.

and how have you been here since october, and this is your first post? were you like thinking this whole thing up for months or something?

We never talk about the Stones. Sticky Fingers is one amazing album. Aftermath was vary influencial to The Doors.

[thickasabrick]

ya the stones were pretty ****in amazing in the sixties.

that's also how i feel about ac/dc in the seventies, but after that they kinda just became older, less edgey, and more repetitive.

[Schyma]

Probably he isn't that good anymore but I would still go see him if he ever came to Houston.

I knew somebody who went, and they said it wasn't that good. All he played was new material, none of the classics.

:lol: for some reason i actually laughed quite loud at that.

edit- and i repped you earlier schyma, i am suprised you don't have stars yet. even i have stars now!

but stars aren't even cool anymore, i would feel cooler without them. i thought it was so amazing when badmoon first got stars, i didn't realize that anyone could get them if they came on enough.

I am so uncool. A mod gave me a neg rep. I would have stars right now. :upset:

[Woodstock]

If a Mod gave you neg rep, you'd be in the negative numbers.

[thickasabrick]

if my rep dipped too low would my stars go away? and i've seen people with only 3 stars, whats the deal with that?


and i'm sure Dylan is very tired of playing the same song set over the past four decades, i wouldn't blame him for playing new songs.

edit - how do you know what your rep is worth? like when you give it to other people?

Only if you give it to some one and they tell how much you added. Last time I checked I was giving out 42.

[MC5]

And yeah, classic rock is becoming extremely popular among teenagers.

Yeah the most popular band at my school among the 8 grade is AC/DC.Other really popular bands are Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath.I dont know how it got this way.Every other grade listens to Yellow card and blink 182.

Yes, you do need AIM.

I hope I get some good albums for christmas.

[thickasabrick]

well i have to open all my main presents on christmas eve with my grandpa and his family, and then some smaller ones on new years day with my grandma and her family.

my grandparents got divorced and they can't be in the same room without fighting, so we have to split christmas up.

tomorrow my grandma will give me a toonie, and an Archie comic...as she does every year.

edit- me trying to explain why i opened some presents tonight to badmoon.

[Helstrem00]

You guys are starting to get a little off topic ... I thought this was supposed to be a classic rock forum ... correct me if I'm wrong .... Personally I listen to non-stop metal but I grew up on Beatles and Steve Miller Band along with The Who, The Doors, Rush and Heart. Im a drummer in a metal band now but if it hadnt been for those bands I would have never picked up a drumstick and started making my own music.

Oh, and Merry Christmas to everyone ... Have a good one

[Badmoon]

Please do not come in here accusing us about being on topic when you are trailing off yourself.

Welcome, and have a merry Christmas also :).

[thickasabrick]

merry Christmas!

and i'm glad to see you mentioned Steve Miller Band. Most people would leave them out on an initial classic rock band naming post. i really like them, have a few of their albums.

here's that painting i made of jim morrison a long while back. i think i've mentioned it before, maybe in a different thread though

what are some good albums by Heart? i own Dreamboat Annie, and i'm very pleased with it. Do they have any other good albums?

[Illmatic]

...Heart? Are you kidding me?

[thickasabrick]

Heart = good songwriting, good guitar playing, good singing.

nothing too amazing from them, but i enjoy listening to them.

and no, i am not kidding you.

[Badmoon]

I'm really into Polyphonic Spree now. They are a fantastic and original group.

[Seafroggys]

Wohoo! Christmas Eve is just over, and I opened presents from grandparents and aunt/uncle (tomorrow morning is the parents and sibling).

I got Who Are You and Aqualung! I just listened to Aqualung tonight, and I must say its a sweet album (I've d/led Aqualung the song and Locomotive Breath). I've already listened to my dad's Who Are You vinyl (and it has a printed cover too on the disc).
