Classic Rock

[Freddie9]

Did George Harrison or Clapton do the solo on "While My Guitar Gently Weeps"?
clapton

[Illmatic]

Although one urban legend is that Harrison was so humbled by the acclaim for the solo that he credited Clapton, I think Clapton actually did it.

[Badmoon]

I think Bad Co's singer would do a great job, but i think the singer from Foreigner would sound even better.

No way! :angry:

1. Freddie Mercury
2. Aretha Franklin
3. Paul Rodgers

Best singers of the 70's.

[Illmatic]

New avatar. Go me.

It (Electric Warrior)'s a terrific album...more people should listen to it and talk about it.

[PinkFreud]

they should have come up with a new name, cause without freddy there is no queen. ill still try and get tickets though, cause john deacon and brian may kick ***.

deacons not touring with them though. and electric warrior IS an excellent album. very odd but its good. and im quite sure that clapton did the solo for while my guitar gently weeps. it has his tone all over it.

I know this discussions probably well and truly past this kind of stuff since i didn't read the whole way through. But nonetheless being one of these 17 year old classic rock fans (well among other things too) I think the reason it's making a revival now is because people who were teenagers in the time of led zeppelin, pink floyd, etc. are now parents. I mean that's how I got in to all of it, now Pink Floyd and Dire Straits are two of my favourite bands.

[Bartender]

great Crimson albums:

Beat


I think that's the first time I've seen someone (other than me) mention Beat as a good King Crimson album. Most people seem to dislike it. But then, I've not often been in here before. Is it generally liked?

At least you like Dire Straits, which is a plus. They're an alright band. I like Down on the Waterline and Sultans of Swing.

[ArcLite]

Ah yes, Dire Straits. My dad got me into them and I love them. Knoffler is a machine on the axe. Goota go with Sultans as my favorite song. Almost got to see them live years back.

[a27]

i found something nutty i thot eveyrone would want to know about you can get an ipod sony vaio laptop lots of different kinds of cell phones and other **** for just 40 dollars at this crazy website i alreayd got my ipod its dope.


people are selling this link for money on ebay thats how i got ahold of it

[ArcLite]

No advertising idiot. Read the rules and don't be a moron.

[thickasabrick]

1. Freddie Mercury
2. Aretha Franklin
3. Paul Rodgers

Best singers of the 70's.

i didn't mean best singers...i meant who could do a half decent job singing Freddy Mercury songs. Of course Aretha Franklin can sing way better, but can you imagine her singing We Will Rock You? or Sheer Heart Attack? singing isn't all about the best voice, personality and attitude is involved as well, and Aretha doesn't really have the same persona that is required to play the role of Freddy Mercury. (although they are almost on the same level of femininity)

/cheap shot.

[LiZZySkYnRd7^]

Ah yes, Dire Straits. My dad got me into them and I love them. Knoffler is a machine on the axe. Goota go with Sultans as my favorite song. Almost got to see them live years back.

Brothers in Arms is a great album.

[Lee Harvey Castro]

I haven't really got into King Crimson's other stuff, but I'll check those albums out, I was completely blown away upon the first time hearing the album especially 21st century Schizoid Man and the title track, I haven't got that feeling for an album since DSOTM and Trout mask replica.

[magicbus]

I am far from impressed about this "Queen" re-union, that I think is definitely taking place now. They've got the singer from Free on vocals, and I think that John Deacon isn't doing the shows either...I love Queen, but without Freddie Mercury, I don't think it is Queen, period. As you say, basically no-one can sing Queen songs like Mercury, and in terms of stage personality, few people compare, as well.

Paul Rodgers, also of Bad Company.

[Lee Harvey Castro]

They had the singer from Free when they played at the UK music hall of fame thing, but that was probably just a one off.

[thickasabrick]

i think Freddy Mercury probably had the best singing voice in rock music ever. plus he sang more than rock, since rock didn't show off his talent quite as much.

Last night i was renting a movie, and i noticed a movie called Grateful Dawg.. has anyone seen it? i read the back and it sounded like a documentary type thing with Jerry Garcia and David Grisman. I thought it was interesting because it was in the "Drama" section, not the "music, biography, documentary" or other such categories.

Best Neil Young album-Tonight's the Night

[RNR]

Queen has some kick *** backup vocals too :).

[Woodstock]

OMG! You're unbanned!

[clown_phobia]

The Beatles have the best harmonies in my opinion.

[Broken Arrow]

CSNY-Best harmonies

Best Neil Young album-Tonight's the Night

/late

I just got Harvest for 9$. Great album. Great deal. :D

I want another Neil Young album but all they have is Harvest Moon, On the Beach and After The Gold Rush. Are any of those^ good?

[Johnny B. Good]

Neil Young is so awesome I love how he added a more electric sound to CSN&Y

[Broken Arrow]

I just got Harvest for 9$. Great album. Great deal. :D

I want another Neil Young album but all they have is Harvest Moon, On the Beach and After The Gold Rush. Are any of those^ good?
They are great.
On the Beach-Alot of of blues/rock and folk/rock
After the Goldrush-Folk/Rock, Piano Harmonica stuff, also plain rock
Harvest Moon-Mostly a folk album.

Anyways, I was watching CBC and the Canada for Aisa thingy is on and they had Rush playing "Closer to the Heart" with Bubbles(from Trailer Park boys) and the Guy from the Barenaked Ladies and it was sweet.

Neil Peart-Machine

Now the Tragically Hip are on.

Oscar Peterson played too he was amazing as always.:)

[Schyma]

Neil Peart + some barenaked ladies = good?

[jpj]

Why can't America have any cool benefit concerts? Like Canada had that SARS thing with Rush too, but I guess Americans just don't care enough.

[lunch998]

Because we don't have SARS.

[jpj]

Because we don't have SARS.
But Canada didn't get hit by a huge tsunami.

[lunch998]

Harvest Moon owns. Seriously. Get it!

[jpj]

Neither did we.
But Canada's still having a benefit for it evn thought they didn't get hit by one (I'm assuming it's for Asian tsunami victims).

[RNR]

Harvest moon is better than harvest in my opinion.

If you live in Canada you can watch the relief concert on cbc :).

[lunch998]

But Canada's still having a benefit for it evn thought they didn't get hit by one (I'm assuming it's for Asian tsunami victims).

It's because America is filled with hearless capitalists who only care about themselves.

Anyone here like the Mahavishnu Orchestra?

[Sandtrap]

what do some of you guys consider classic rock.

A. Something like The beatles/Rolling Stones
B. Something like Van Halen/Guns N Roses
C. Something like Lenard Skinard
D. None Of These

[RNR]

I consider all of those bands classic rock.

[lunch998]

The correct answer is E.

[jpj]

The Beatles, Rolling Stones, Van Halen, and it's Lynyrd Skynyrd are all classic rock. I don't really consider G'n'R classic rock.

[RNR]

eh, guns n roses is bordering. It's like 80s hard rock which isn't really classic.

[Broken Arrow]

eh, guns n roses is bordering. It's like 80s hard rock which isn't really classic.
Yeah, I'm not sure about them there more 80's metal then anything.

Hehe 80's metal.

Jeff Healy Band!!!!!!
Isn't this a blast from the past.:lol:

Anyone here like the Mahavishnu Orchestra?
I just got Birds Of Fire and it's great. It takes a second listen for sure though.

I had to start writing them down otherwise I would forget

[PinkFreud]

so you liked it. awesome. the inner mounting flame is good as well. not as much soloing as birds but the bands still in top form and you can tell.

[Broken Arrow]

Good times :D

Healey still pwns.
Yeah thats when I was a n00b and Paranoidd was a regular and Voodoo Chile was here.


Anyways what is this Manhavusitsu(sp) Orchestra?

[PinkFreud]

mahavishnu orchestra is like weird jazz fusion with lots of elements of other genres in it. theyre all basically virtuosos on their respective instruments. one of the best guitarists is john mclaughlin, best drummers with billy cobham, and better keyboardists in jan hammer. he did some stuff with jeff beck if that helps at all. i recommend them highly if you like fusiony weird stuff.

[thickasabrick]

PinkFreud you've got a killer name...i wish i thought of that.

i've never heard of Mahavishnu Orchestra (it's a bitch to type though)...i'm gonna see what they have to offer.

in other news...I just got back from work, tonight i taught some students how to play:

Let It Be
House of the Rising Sun
Satisfaction

(is it obvious that none of my students can play songs with more than four chords yet?)

[Johnny B. Good]

did you teach them the solo to let it be?

[Woodstock]

Careful, you might strain their talent.

[Johnny B. Good]

huh?

[thickasabrick]

did you teach them the solo to let it be?

i wish...they have only been playing for a few months and they aren't very good. i do have better students though...although i haven't taught them the Let it Be solo yet. I taught one student Purple Haze the other day, he was pretty happy. Unfortunately, most of my students ask to learn Sum 41, Good Charlotte, Blink 182. (i don't even mind teaching Sum 41, but the other two kill me to teach)

[Johnny B. Good]

That sux. You should burn them CD's of of some good classic rock that doesn't have to hard of guitar playing like the Beatles

[BillCosby]

That sux. You should burn them CD's of of some good classic rock that doesn't have to hard of guitar playing like the Beatles

Yea forcing your music on someone is cool.

[Illmatic]

Ah, good ol' "House of the Rising Sun"...one of the first songs I learned on the guitar.

You should teach them "Wish You Were Here". That's an easy song to learn as well.

[Johnny B. Good]

Yea forcing your music on someone is cool.
I didn't mean just give it to them and demand them to listen to it. I meant recommend someone to them, and then if they are interested give them the CD

[thickasabrick]

That sux. You should burn them CD's of of some good classic rock that doesn't have to hard of guitar playing like the Beatles

haha i already did.

actually, i've got a student who can play Blackbird now..and she's only been playing for a short while. But yea, whether you are crappy or good at guitar...there's a Beatles song for you! :thumb:

[thickasabrick]

i know this could go in the beatles forum, but what album is I am the Walrus from?

i noticed they used the terms "lucy in the sky" and "waiting for the sun" in that song, are they purposely trying to fit song titles in there? or is it just a very strange coincedence?

[Illmatic]

Magical Mystery Tour, I think.

and thanks Disconnection Notice :) and do you think they meant to do that, or just a coincedence? with the titles.

[Illmatic]

**** yourself.

EDIT: To the spammer guy. thickasabrick is cool, and as for the song titles thing, I'm not sure myself. The Beatles always claimed it's a coincidence, but you never know.

[thickasabrick]

haha thanks Disconnection Notice, i dont think you needed to add the "thickasabrick is cool" part though, i'm sure most people realize you meant him.

if it had happened earlier in their career, i would have assumed it was a shamless self promotion, but they werent really into "promoting themselves" later in their career..so i dunno what to beleive. we need more opinions on this.

[Zgggy]

Im 16 now, and all I listen to is classic rock. It is so much better than the mainstream crap playing nowadays. Well what I do, my baby sister's bedtime song is Stairway to Heaven and I make her listen to many classic rock bands... Just dont want her becoming like most teenagers are now; either listening to rap and dressing with their "bling-bling" or dressing like a prep while listening to Good Charlotte.

[thickasabrick]

I dont want to be mean to the n00bs, but an Iron Butterfly thread was just made...and after many posts talking about "In a Gadda Da Vida" (or however the hell you spell it), someone with 1 post came and said...wait...it's coming...get this:

"im suprised no one has mentioned garden of eden."

Velvet Underground & Nico, their debut. It's pretty good, it's got Heroin, Sunday Morning, Waiting For My Man, and a couple other good ones. However, if Nico's vocals bother you (as they do to me) I would suggest Loaded, because I believe it has Sweet Jane.

[thickasabrick]

man the choices for the new poll were difficult. a lot of good albums were up there. i felt bad because i havent heard all of Green River, so i couldn't really vote for it. so went with Zeppelin II.

[guitrguy]

I was really close to voting LZ II, but they were gonna get enough votes without me, so I voted for Rush

[DeusExMachina]

I haven't voted yet. I'm not a huge fan of any of the choices. I may vote if it comes down to really close, but if not I'll just leave that one.

[stevo_79]

looking for legs diamond tablature. Know where i can get some?

[Woodstock]

I voted for Green River, I'm in a CCR state of mind.

[lunch998]

I went with LZ II because it has a chance to get through.

[Broken Arrow]

Hehe that reminds me of a time.

[Badmoon]

I voted for CCR. Few bands consistently write good as songs as much as they do.

[slowhand]

Just the other night I began to listen to Pink Floyd's 'Dark Side of the Moon' becuase I couldn't sleep. Everything was dark and silent, so I could hear everything, or most of it... then it came time to hear 'The Great Gig in the Sky' and it happened...

I heard the woman whisper "If you can hear this whisper, you're dying."

That was awesome. I like that sort of crap.

And sorry for the rambling, I just wanted to share it with some people who understand. God bless.

Thickasabrick, I want a small review on Grateful Dawg. I've never got to see it.

I assume it's Revolver by the Beatles...

If it is, it's great. I love that album. It's a shame that it's overshadowed by Rubber Soul. "For no One" is an exceptional ballad by Paul McCartney, which shows why he has the right to brag. It also contains 3 songs by Harrison (which makes it the album which has more Harrison songs compare with how many other Lennon/McCartney compositions are on the album) and they're all brilliant.

Agh... !!

I don't think Revolver is overshadowed by Rubber Soul. Actually I think it gets more credit than Rubber Soul.

Awesome band. Steve Winwood is a great organ player and singer. And I really enjoy Dave Mason guitar work when he was in the band. And it's cool to hear a saxophone on a rock album and other instruments played by Chris Wood.

Very interesting, and often overlooked band. Makes for an interesting listening.

[Woodstock]

To me, Rubber Soul>Revolver.

Cool, Homer is singing The End by The Doors.

[magicbus]

Never heard them. Lunch thank you for clearing up the "dying" whisper, I do it often.

And Livewired, what's wrong with Thank You? Or do you just mean it doesn't fit with the other songs?

[slowhand]

I don't think Revolver is overshadowed by Rubber Soul. Actually I think it gets more credit than Rubber Soul.

If you know about them. But everyone credits more Rubber Soul because of Nowhere Man, Michelle and Norwegian Wood (which introduces the sitar to rock music). Most people look at it as Rubber Soul part II. Though 'critics' agree that Revolver is better, and I'm the only one in my band who thinks that Revolver is much better than Rubber Soul.

-Edit: magicbus has the best avatar... ever!!

News:
It's a sad week for rock 'n' roll. The Associated Press reports that Spencer Dryden, drummer for the Jefferson Airplane in the rock band's glory years, which included the breakthrough 1967 album "Surrealistic Pillow" and the Woodstock festival, has died at age 66. And James Arthur "Jimmy" Griffin, a founding member of the 1970s pop group Bread, has died at age 61. Both deaths were caused by cancer.

[Badmoon]

Awww, that's sad :(. He was a great drummer, and really added his own style to Airplane's.

He was also part of the New Riders of the Purple Sage :(

Aww man :(

****, Phil Lesh is really goofy lookin'...

Anyways today I picked up Cream - Disraeli Gears used for $8 and Buffalo Springfield - Retrospective Greatest Hits $6 both are pretty good, I wasn't into either bands at all before getting those Cds. I think I like Stephen Stills more than Neil Young.

At the same store they had the Layla Sessions package for $28.99 (used) I was tempted to get it...I heard from my uncle that the jams are amazing.

Actaully some parents still can't accept the fact that the 70's are over and indulge in the marijuanal arts occasionally.

My friends dad smokes every day still. I think its really weird though.


Anyways, my parents liked boring music so they have nothing that interests me...I actually have to explain to them what was going on at the time when discussing music. The only thing we agree on is the Doobie Brothers...my favorite song by them is "Black Water" it's a great southern rootsy song.

That's what you think :p

Actaully some parents still can't accept the fact that the 70's are over and indulge in the marijuanal arts occasionally.

Whats wrong with weed?!? :angry:

[jpj]

The only thing we agree on is the Doobie Brothers...my favorite song by them is "Black Water" it's a great southern rootsy song.
Yes Black Water is awesome! It's definitely my favorite Dobbie Brothers song, I love everything about it.

[Badmoon]

American Beauty haters! Explain yourselves. Why do you dislike the album, which songs bore you, which do you like, etc?

I'm in an A.B. mood :).

P.S. If it was Canadian Beauty, would you like it more?

[Schyma]

He's from West Virginia.

News:
It's a sad week for rock 'n' roll. The Associated Press reports that Spencer Dryden, drummer for the Jefferson Airplane in the rock band's glory years, which included the breakthrough 1967 album "Surrealistic Pillow" and the Woodstock festival, has died at age 66. And James Arthur "Jimmy" Griffin, a founding member of the 1970s pop group Bread, has died at age 61. Both deaths were caused by cancer.
Awww Skip Spence. He was also was one of the founding members(he didnt stay for long) of Quicksilver Messanger Service.

Edit-Skip was Canadian too, I believe.

Edit-I like American Beauty:) (alot)

[Jam2Me]

Whats wrong with weed?!? :angry:

Hah, hell there's NOTHING wrong with pot I am a big supporter of it.


American Beauty is my favorite Grateful Dead album so I'll have to butt out of this conversation :lol:
I should mention American Beauty in the Important Rock History thread.
Unless someone already did and that's why you're talking about it.

[jpj]

He's from West Virginia.
Yea, how dare you imply that I'm one of those filthy Canucks :angry: I will not take such abuse!

Especially since I'm from West Virginia where we take pride in our Canadian hatred!

[Badmoon]

He's from West Virginia.

I'm not trying to name names.

Read me above post buddy :angry:

I love American Beauty its in my top 10 favorites.

Speaking of weed and the Grateful Dead has anyone tried acid?

[RNR]

This Canadian thinks that American beauty zwns.

gaypj just doesn't like soft music or something. He should go to one of the metal threads.

[jpj]

There's nothing wrong with soft music just not boring soft music.

[RNR]

Are you gonna take that from him, Badmoon? I say give 'em the banjo beatin'! :angry:

There's nothing wrong with soft music just not boring soft music.

I gave you questions, answer them! So you can be evaluated. :angry:

I didn't see these, you ninja edited them in.

Why do I dislike it? Simple, I don't find it entertaining to listen to, and for me that's the whole point of music, to listen to it and have fun.

Which songs bore me? Box of Rain, Sugar Magnolia, Operator, Candyman, Ripple, Brokedown Palace, Till the Morning Comes, and Attics of My Life.

Which do I like? Friend of the Devil and Truckin'.

The solo of Comfortably Numb by Pink Floyd is pretty easy.

:lol: Just kidding...I play bass :\

I didn't see these, you ninja edited them in.

Those were always there, :angry:

Ripple, Brokedown Palace

But that is the most beautiful song combination ever. And the rest, I of course disagree.


Here is an interesting picture.

Now, there was rumors of Garcia finger tapping every once and awhile. Many believe the "Terrapin Station" solo was tapped. Well, as much as I've heard, I don't know. But this may be a bit of evidence.

Sugar Magnolia bores you :upset: such a great song.

It bores me too its the only song on the album that I dislike.

[jpj]

Those were always there, :angry:
Sorry, I must've just read through it quickly the first time.

And it's amazing how angry you get when anyone says anything bad about The Dead.

[Badmoon]

I'm not mad, I just find it odd. The angry faces are just to add to the mood. I just find it odd that you dislike an album that a lot of us are very fond of.

[jpj]

I find it odd that you hate Zeppelin with a passion, but very much of us are fond of them. I just find the entire album very monotonous, like every song is the same.

[Jam2Me]

I find it odd that you hate Zeppelin with a passion, but very much of us are fond of them. I just find the entire album very monotonous, like every song is the same.

I guess I can understad it, I dislike most Pink Floyd and Led Zepellin while millions of people love them.

^^I was just about to post that then I refreshed and saw you posted something similar to it, great minds think alike :thumb:

[Badmoon]

Well, that's why I am not mad. Because I realizes a lot of you like what I don't. Therefore, your 'bitching' could end now.

I simply asked a few questions.

[Illmatic]

(doesn't like Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, OR the Grateful Dead)

[Jam2Me]

(doesn't like Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, OR the Grateful Dead)
What do you like?

Heh, I don't mean it as in, "What do you like??!"

I'm just curious.

[Badmoon]

What? When did I bitch?

The continuation of you stating why American Beauty is boring to you, and also reformating my comment reguarding you not liking something we all do, so it will fit my dislikes, which we all know off.

Here's the turning point...IMO.

and just forget it.

[jpj]

I can see how that statement can come off as a little bitchy, but other than that I was simply answering your questions.












And it's forgotten.

[Schyma]

I find it odd that you hate Zeppelin with a passion, but very much of us are fond of them. I just find the entire album very monotonous, like every song is the same.

I hate Zeppelin too. Robert sounds exactully like Janis. Am I the only one to notice. :confused:

[Illmatic]

What do you like?

Heh, I don't mean it as in, "What do you like??!"

I'm just curious.

I'm going to confine this what in classic rock I like, because I like a lot of music

The Who
Bob Dylan
Jimi Hendrix Experience
The Beatles
The Allman Brothers Band
Cream
Blind Faith
David Bowie
The Rolling Stones
T. Rex
The Doors
Iggy Pop
The Velvet Underground
Frank Zappa
Creedence Clearwater Revival

[Jam2Me]

I hate Zeppelin too. Robert sounds exactully like Janis. Am I the only one to notice. :confused:
:lol: I didn't notice that until you said it now...but yeah.

My grandpa loves Janis Joplin..I kind of hate her...so sloppy and loud.

[Schyma]

Anyone like that Ziggy Stardust album Bowie did?

[Illmatic]

(raises hand)

[guitrguy]

(doesn't like Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, OR the Grateful Dead)
Ill let Led Zeppelin and the Grateful dead, but Pink Floyd?????

[jpj]

Well, when you mentioned it I decided I should probably listen to it, so I am. I quite like it so far.

[Badmoon]

Janis is a better vocalist than Robert Plant.

[Schyma]

^agreeed

Robert is just a male version of Janis.

[Illmatic]

Ill let Led Zeppelin and the Grateful dead, but Pink Floyd?????

Never clicked for me.

[Badmoon]

Janis has a more manly voice, so maybe a more feminent Janis. :p

Where's Thickasabrick, I want him to comment on my Garcia finger tapping post. :(

[Schyma]

Well, when you mentioned it I decided I should probably listen to it, so I am. I quite like it so far.

I have it too but haven't herad it.

[RNR]

Ill let Led Zeppelin and the Grateful dead, but Pink Floyd?????

Agreed.

(+ how could anybody not like Led Zeppelin or The Grateful Dead?)

[Illmatic]

I used to like Led Zeppelin, but once I discovered other classic rock bands--and other forms of music--they just didn't seem that good at all.

The Grateful Dead bored me from the start, even though I tried to get into them.

[Seafroggys]

I like Zeppelin a tad bit, but just a little bit. I don't see what's really that great about them. Maybe because I got into Deep Purple first, and just like them more......and that I got into Cream as well.

[shawnson]

my classic rock tastes expand pretty far. from lynyrd skynyrd, to zeppelin, to floyd, to deep purple, to metallica (if they're considered classic rock yet), to sabbath. it's all good to me.

[RNR]

Awesome.

*metallica isn't classic rock.

[lunch998]

This Canadian thinks that American beauty zwns.

gaypj just doesn't like soft music or something. He should go to one of the metal threads.

Hey man, you stole my insult. He is gay though.

Yea, but we could all use more Janis.

Wow, that guy's classic rock tastes don't expand far at all.

[RNR]

It's with great respect to you that I use the insult :thumb:.

*rod stewart is kind of for 40 year old women. he still has some :cool: tunes though.

Who's?

And I don't think Robert sounds like Janis.

[lunch998]

And I don't think Robert sounds like Janis.

Some guy's post on this page said his classic rock tastes vary a lot, then he goes on to list LZ, Deep Purple, Sabbath, and Skynyrd.

[jpj]

I watched The Last Waltz today, and I think Up On Cripple Creek and Don't Do It are my favorites.

[Woodstock]

My dad just found his old Quicksilver Messanger Service album. Perfect, brilliant jam/psychedelic rock. A new favorite for sure.

[jpj]

I have to add Happy Trails to the list to get. It's times like these I wish I was rich.

[Woodstock]

I have the money, I just cant find the CD's, gonna hafta start ordering them off a website.

[jpj]

I have like $22 in credit at Best Buy, so maybe I'll luck out and find it there. However I highly doubt that. Especially since all they had Dead-wise was one copy of American Beauty and like 30 copies of the same greatest hits.

Yea it's highly unlikely that Best Buy will have it. Their limited Grateful Dead selection pisses me off.

Woodstock, order from Amazon. They always have good prices and it never takes too long to ship.

[Schyma]

Best Buy has some good stuff at times I found Birdland which I consider a rare album.

[jpj]

Well there's this used CD store really close to Best Buy so I'll probably go there too. They have a pretty good selection, I was very surpirsed when I saw The Grateful Dead Go To Heaven there.

[jpj]

Best Buy has some good stuff at times I found Birdland which I consider a rare album.
It was easy for me to find, I'm not sure what it's like anywhere else though. I got it used at F.Y.E., but now that I think about it that was the only time I ever saw it.

[Schyma]

Speaking of Happy Trails can I get "Maiden Of the Cancer Moon" from someone?

[lunch998]

Speaking of Happy Trails can I get "Maiden Of the Cancer Moon" from someone?

I can't get it to you until a few days from now. I let my friend borrow it, but when he's done I plan to rip it onto my computer.

[Jam2Me]

My local CD store is probably one of the worst out of anyone here...the main reason I don't have all the CDs I like is because I just can't find them, occasionally I find some good stuff at Coconuts or Strawberries (do yuo guys have those?) but other then that I've got no options :(


When I went CD shopping this summer with my uncle I bought 16 CDs, I love Boston music stores :D

[magicbus]

I don't like Janis Joplin or American Beauty. I like Ziggy Stardust. I like used cd store the best.

Good way to sum up the last few pages.

I like Janis. Which QSMS album did you find Woodstock?

Well, in Anchor Man (if you guys have seen it) did you notice when he is done his jazz flute solo he yells "Hey Aqualung"? When I saw it first I didn't notice it but last night I did and it was a good laugh.

[lunch998]

Yea that was classic. I liked the part in Ocean's 12 where Matt Damon quotes the first verse of Kashmir. I don't think anyone got it but me.

Anoyone want to reccommend me a Beatles cd? All I have is Sgt Peppers.

[Humor99]

Abbey Road would have to be my favorite, it's just so good in terms of musicianship.

Also, I've been listening to the mp3s from The Last Waltz that I ripped like constantly.

[lunch998]

Anoyone want to reccommend me a Beatles cd? All I have is Sgt Peppers.

I also recommend Revolver.

[RNR]

/recommends Revolver. Seriously though, there's so many great ones that people are probably going to say Rubber Soul, Abbey Road, The White Album, and Magical Mystery Tour as well...but personally Revolver is absolutely my favourite album by them.


All of that + a hard days night.

[Badmoon]

Abbey Road would have to be my favorite, it's just so good in terms of musicianship.

True, that is an amazing album.

Magical Mystery Tour owns also.

[Badmoon]

Have I given out an Phil Lesh & Friends recorded samples?

[magicbus]

Humor, if I get my AIM working can you send me some songs?

And I saw the Aqualung line the second time I watched it too. :lol:

[Modestbob]

[thickasabrick]

I recommend Abbey Road, but you might as well just get more than one, because basically everyone recommends a different album by them.

[thickasabrick]

Funny thing...our local Classic Rock radio station always has like special weekends where they choose a band, and play a lot of songs by them. And then some of their albums late at night...

So I was listening to the radio today, and the radio guy is like "We thought we were clever by making it a Styx and Stones weekend (get it?)...but then we took a vote, and everyone agreed that Styx suck...so now it's just a Rolling Stones weekend."

I found it funny he would actually say that. Anyone else agree with him though?

[Griffith]

Anoyone want to reccommend me a Beatles cd? All I have is Sgt Peppers.

I would most definitely reccommend The White Album.

But really, you couldn't go wrong if you tried.

1. Booker T. & The MG's-The Very Best Of
2. The Kinks-Village Green Preservation Society
3. QSMS-self titled

1. Booker T. & The MG's-The Very Best Of

Awesome.

We're almost at 800.

Damn, American Beauty is a fantastic album.

[Woodstock]

Tonight is the Tsunami Relief Concert, do not miss it!

I heard Eric Clapton and Roger Waters are performing Wish You Were Here together. And maybe John Mayer will play a good blues song.

Awesome.

800 what?

nearly at 20000 though.

Well I've been really getting into both my dvd and cd collections recently. 1 of each might not be bad considering I got 9 cds for christmas, and only 3 movies.

On another note, I'm listening to Band of Gypsies and was wondering if any of you guys had seen the dvd. I'm not sure if its the entire concert or not, but that would be awesome. This is an amazing cd. Anybody know if the dvd is buy worthy or not?
