oh ok...well i guess i was referring more to solo artists..Ya i'd probably know of a couple if i listened to more current rock but i just don't enjoy it nearly as much.

Yeah when it comes to AC/DC, I don't think it's actually the singing that matters. It's the fact that they started making cheesy 80's music in the 80's. That's basically the only reason I prefer Bon Scott.

Bon Scott's voice seemed a lot more natural too. Didn't sound like he was forcing every last ounce of life out of his vocal chords ala Brian Johnson.

I find with Scott, AC/DC was hard blues rock. When he died, Johnson kept the hard rock style, but lost the blues edge.

yeah.
i agree with you there.

Yeah and during the 80's some of their material had a slight NWOBHM feel which is alright but I prefer the earlier Bon Scott stuff as it gets the adrenaline pumping and the live stuff is just so raw and powerful with a zero cheese factor. :cool:

when did they ever have a NWOBHM feel? just wondering, not that its bad or anything. maybe name some songs that have the sound?

and i thought 50 pages on the acdc thread was ridiculous...but look at me im adding to it!

more and more posts by the minute...
wahahahahh

Use the edit button, please.

I read it in a book somewhere and whilst listening to , maybe im bluffing a bit but a few NWOBHM bands have ripped off their material and are heavily influenced by their music. AC/DC's 80's music is not strictly part of the movement as they started before it and were obviously influenced by blues artists such as Chuck Berry and so forth but as well as blues perhaps they were also influenced by NWOBHM. Songs such as Heatseeker.

Kim Gordon ruins a lot of Sonic Youth for me.

Sorry if this has been discussed before, but with all the 1263 pages, you'll forgive me for asking.

Could someone please list all the Free (the band) studio/live albums (IE, not compilations), possibly with an insist on good places to start?

Been listening to a fair amount of Deep Purple recently, got Perihilion on DVD for 3.50 last night from eBay, anyone else got this?

Really enjoying Who do we think we are, got that from the library. Don't care so much for Burn though, taped that from next door neighbours LP the other day. Maybe I just prefer the MK II lineup, the new stuffs pretty good as well, but quite different. (Sometimes I feel like screaming etc.)

EDIT: I meant the band, Free. ;) Thanks anyway. :)

This site has free, full concerts.

Wow, that is awesome.

Classic rock trivia I found out today, the back up singer on Gimmie Shelter by the Rolling Stones, is the same as the one doing all the vocal solo's on Dark Side of the Moon.

My new albums:

The Zombies-Odyssey and Oracle
Nick Drake-Pink Moon
Emerson, Lake and Palmer-Tarkus

I'm happy.

burn is my favorite deep purple album :upset:

[QUOTE=RockAndRoll]Wow, that is awesome.[/QUOTE]

Yea it's a cool site. A lot of Dead shows on there.

[QUOTE=Med57]This is an awesome, earth changing album.

hes also a very underrated guitarist.

I agree, Nick Drake is very very good. I had never even heard of him until my uncle sent me some mixes with him on it.

I was just listening to George Thorogood's I Drink Alone...and remembered that i never even looked into buying one of his albums. Any good ones i should check out next time i go to the music store?

His greatest hits is pretty good.

All right, well I can't wait to listen. The Zombies have been in my head.

[QUOTE=Grateful Dead]Get one of his many live offerings. The man was born to be experienced live, it's his purpose. Otherwise, get a greatest hits to get a feel for him. He also has like 7000 of those.[/QUOTE]

I heard that Thorogoods best was his debut. I've yet to buy any of his albums, though. Fortuneatley, the local Classic Rock Station plays him quite a bit.

Thanks for that. Anyone else?

Each to his own as they say....

[QUOTE=Med57]
meh...I never really got into AC/DC. They're good at times (e.g when drunk), but other than that, I never go out of my way to listen to them. They're a bit like The Rolling Stones, in that I'd like to see them live, without being a great fan of their music (someone else would have to pay the extorionate ticket prices though).[/QUOTE]


Exactly, I don't listen to any AC/DC, but if they had a concert I would definately go. AC/DC defined 3 chord rock (lol). Not a fan of them, but its something that you can groove to.

AC/DC is a bad band who has its moments ("You Shook Me All Night Long" is pop genius).

That song is really annoying to me.

I think they wrote good songs, they were just all the same.

If they could come out with one album...it would be a huge success. If they went back in time they could release a different album and it would also be a big success. Unfortunately, they released like thirty albums...so it really starts to wear off after a while because you realize they only could write one type of song.
