[QUOTE=Canadian_Guy]I just feel like mentioning I have [I]The Essential Leonard Cohen [/I] playing right now. Every human being who likes music should have the song "First We Take Manhattan" on their computer/mp3 player/CD player. It's [I]that[/I] good.[/QUOTE]

I've always felt that he doesn't really have anything going for him besides writing. I just wish most his songs weren't so mellow and occasionally dull.

But he is an amazing writer. :thumb:

[QUOTE=Canadian_Guy]I've heard it :cool: .

If you're talking about that Bob Dylan tribute CD, it's great.[/QUOTE]

NP: The Byrds - You Ain't Going Nowhere

You know I think a band is just as overrated as the fans make them. For example, I listen to Cream seldom, and talk about them only a little (I love them, though I just for some reason don't listen much), so I have not overrated them, in fact I probally underrate them. Though a band I listen to The Brian Jonestown Massacre (as I'm sure anybody on the site will tell you) I promote them like they are god, and I talk about their music as if they were the best. Do I overrate them? Yes. Does anybody listen to them? No. So are they overrated, no, but since I talk about them this much I overrate them.

[QUOTE=ArrestThisMan]Is The Sky is Crying a cover? I heard an early version today done by Bessie Smith.[/QUOTE]

The only version I've heard is the George Thorogood version. Sweet song though. Is the Bessie Smith version any good?

I don't listen to Cream that much.. I'm not a big fan

That's true what you said about bands being overrated Pigonthewing.

In someone else's eyes, any band can be overrated. It's just an opinion thing really. Because everyone has a different opinion on a certain band, therefore you can't generalize a band by saying they are overrated.

I was hoping someone would debate me that not state what overating means. :upset:

Edit: Man this houka is AWSOME!

Yeah man thats what I'm saying. I mean we classify music way too much. I mean overrated or underrated, classic rock, metal, or pop, a certain type of music will have a different effect on the lives of different people. We are not better then anybody else because we listen to classic rock, or because we listen to a band that nobody has heard of, our lives are just effected by different things then sombody who listens to Nirvana, or pop. I mean if they Brian Jonestown Massacre became huge tomorrow, everybody here would call me an overrated fan boy, though if they never got big people would think I knew a lot about music because I listen to an unknown band. The only difference I found a group that effected my life before everybody else.

:lol: Sorry man, though I won't depate you on that your Houka is awsome, I know mine is :thumb:

What are you trying to say? Both in your original post, and your edited on part.

Sorry if I came out unclear. I said Cream was overated and I was hoping someone would defend them...etc. As for the edit I meant that my new houka is ****ing sweet.

I think that Clapton overshadows the other members too much. Its like Jimi Hendrix, he is a god on guitar, but he compleatly overshadows the other GREAT musicians in the band.

Clapton's name overshadows the other members.

If you dont know what a houka is its a water bong with 2 or more hoses. I have a shroom shaped one that's black and has trippy disigns all over it we call it "Gloomy Shroomy". It also came with a awsome little bowl too. 4 hits and you're blown. :D

NP: Mellow Yellow by Donovan

Yeah mine is named Mr. Bubbles

I love that thing, the only problem is the weed kicks really quick on it, but it makes up for it because of how messed up you get. Sh[COLOR=White]i[/COLOR]t my parents just went to bed I might be using it in about 5 min with my sister.

Yes, it's excellent. SRV does a version of it, too.

He's hard to pin down as a genre, but does anyone like Warren Zevon? I got his last album a while ago, and it's great:).

You know in one of those MANY bootlegs I own I have a Jimi Hendrix, Johnny Winter, and singing on two tracks, Jim Morrison, and they were all just jamming out randmonly. It was awsome. Jimi And Winter played a great version of Red House.

Johnny Winter - Rock Me Baby

Best song ever.

I love his work with Muddy Waters its really awsome! And he is still touring, like he came to my state last summer on tour.
