[QUOTE=ArrestThisMan]Traffic are a super group as well, right? I haven't heard much from them, but I know my dad likes them.[/QUOTE]
Get these songs :

Low Spark of the High-Heeled Boys
Dear Mr. Fantasy
Freedom Rider
Feelin' Alright
Can't Find My Way Home
Glad
Hole In My Shoe

I thought Can't Find My Way Home was done by Blind Faith?

[QUOTE=ArrestThisMan]I thought Can't Find My Way Home was done by Blind Faith?[/QUOTE]
Yeah it is, but my downloader said for both cuz of Steve Winwood.

I've got a couple Traffic albums, and they're great. They change their sound a lot though, they range from really psychedelic music to more complex folk type music.

[QUOTE=Canadian_Guy]Same here. You can't beat "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down."

I'm thinking of buying an individual CD of them soon, any recommendations?[/QUOTE]

Get "Music From Big Pink" and/or "The Band" (s/t)

Wasn't Traffic supposedly "Progressive", due to songs like Low Spark of the High-Heeled Boys and other songs.

[QUOTE=JonG]Wasn't Traffic supposedly "Progressive", due to songs like Low Spark of the High-Heeled Boys and other songs.[/QUOTE]

They started out as a psychedelic band, with albums like their s/t and Mr. Fantasy. They always covered a wide variety of genres though, so you could easily say that some of their later material is progressive.

A wah-wah has never sounded so great.

Tiny purple fishes run laughing through your fingers, and you want to take them with you to the heartland of the winter

Some of the best phychedellic lyrics I have heard are in that song

The ending is just a step lower than a drug overdose.

I am trying to expose my friends to good music.

That rarely works.

It seems that unbelievable endings are Cream's forte, I mean look at White Room

[QUOTE=Walrus Gumboot]It seems that unbelievable endings are Cream's forte, I mean look at White Room[/QUOTE]

Indeed, I wish the ending to Tales of Brave Ulysses would last another minute or so. It's so orgasmic.

[QUOTE=lunch998]That rarely works.[/QUOTE]
Yea, it's true. Most of my friends like classic rock, but no to the extent that I do.

[QUOTE=ArrestThisMan]I am trying to expose my friends to good music.[/QUOTE]

Ha! I was telling my friend Molly about how great Led Zeppelin's Since I've Been Loving You is and she was like "OMGZ You have to listen to this Dispatch song!12211!1!!"

And the other one, Rebecca is hopeless, I will mention Neil Young and she will be like "eeew, like, he has nasty sideburns"

The rest are hardcore top 40 junkies :rolleyes:

All my friends listen to Incubus, 311, Dispatch, and OAR. While this is better than a lot of things, and I do enjoy it every now and then, the fact that they think OAR is the best band in the world is very annoying.

Yea, it can be frustrating. I made my girlfriend a few cd's with some classic rock on it, and she likes it but she still has no knowledge of it. When we are driving around, I always put the classic rock station on, and I'll be like, "Do you know what song this is?". She always guesses wrong :lol:

Do they ever accuse you of being a hippie? I get that alot, like I'm someone's pet hippie

[QUOTE=Walrus Gumboot]Do they ever accuse you of being a hippie? I get that alot, like I'm someone's pet hippie[/QUOTE]

Oh hell yea. They see that I have long hair, I enjoy weed, and my favorite bands are Radiohead, Floyd, and Hendrix and they think I am some kind of hippie.

My brother is the same way with OAR. It's fuc[SIZE=2]k[/SIZE]ing ridiculous.

[QUOTE=Walrus Gumboot]Do they ever accuse you of being a hippie? I get that alot, like I'm someone's pet hippie[/QUOTE]

My friends call me a hippy because I have long hiar and play guitar and bass and do wierd things and listen to older music. :cool: I feel so loved sometimes.

I play hacky sack sometimes :cool:

Just when I am killing time at school in between classes.

I guess I am a hippie to a degree, except I shower.

I have been known to play hacky sack/play guitar/ listen to CR/ have long hair (which is not too special since I am supposed to being a girl and all)/play harmonica during classes but besides that I am prety much a bookworm, so I really have nothing in common with most of my friends except homework, so I am their pet hippie, you see.

/life story

Pardon my ignorance on modern music but, who is OAR?

And I usually turned on my friends to classic rock, as well as another friend introduces me to some bands that I didn't know of. Then there's this one, who was the drummer of my band, who's into Green Day. He now dresses up as if he's a punk rocker, and then he goes around saying that he's not. I remember that one of our friend's cousing was making fun of him, and calling him a poser and he said "I'm not punk." I looked at him and said "You sure try to dress like one." Silence.

And the one who was the bassist has always been into reggea. It's cool, though, it's not senseless listening, some of the songs are pretty good. And then, the other guitarist was getting into metal, mainly Metallica. I really don't like Metallica, but it's better than Green Day.

And that's why the band I was in didn't work out.

And I'm a meat-eating, shower-loving hippie. I hate vegetarians food. Can't eat that stuff.

Nothing wrong with any of those things. I'd much rather hang out with someone that is true to themselves, then running with the "popular kids" trying to fit in.
