[QUOTE=KillTheEmo101]May i ask something? Is Queen considered classic rock? and if not what would you consider it?(if you fellas were talkin about queen the last 1000 posts, sorry to lazy to read hehe :p )[/QUOTE]

Queen is definitely considered hard rock and classic rock.

I think they're pretty good. An example of good stadium rock.

Yea, Queen is definitely CR. I think everyone here likes them. I think I'm the only one here who doesn't have anything by them. I like the 5 songs I've heard on the radio. I need to buy some Queen.

edit- beat :(

:eek: :upset:

That makes me sad.

Early Queen is the best, Queen II and Sheer Heart Attack=Favorite Queen albums :) :)

[QUOTE=Schyma]If they vote [I]Appetite[/I] as the best Classic Rock record that automaticly makes them an un-worthy source to say the least. They also put Jeff Beck behind Cobain in the "100 greatest guitarist list" which is unspeakable. Rolling Stone is a worthless un-credible magazine that should be destroyed at all costs. :evil:[/QUOTE]

Yeah, and they put Joan Jett on that list, but not Alex Lifeson.

[QUOTE=Big J]woot, classic rock!!

does anyone like the who? i LOVE the who! best classic rock band i reckon

forgive me for not reading 45 000 posts before posting[/QUOTE]

I love the Who, they're my favorite band after Pink Floyd.

Oops. I think I broke the rules yesterday.

Does it seem that Dylan was tripping when he wrote "Mr Tambourine" or is that just me? I mean listin to the lyrics:

Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me,
I'm not sleepy and there is no place I'm going to.
Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me,
In the jingle jangle morning I'll come followin' you.
Though I know that evenin's empire has returned into sand,
Vanished from my hand,
Left me blindly here to stand but still not sleeping.
My weariness amazes me, I'm branded on my feet,
I have no one to meet
And the ancient empty street's too dead for dreaming.

Take me on a trip upon your magic swirlin' ship,
My senses have been stripped, my hands can't feel to grip,
My toes too numb to step, wait only for my boot heels
To be wanderin'.
I'm ready to go anywhere, I'm ready for to fade
Into my own parade, cast your dancing spell my way,
I promise to go under it.

Though you might hear laughin', spinnin', swingin' madly across the sun,
It's not aimed at anyone, it's just escapin' on the run
And but for the sky there are no fences facin'.
And if you hear vague traces of skippin' reels of rhyme
To your tambourine in time, it's just a ragged clown behind,
I wouldn't pay it any mind, it's just a shadow you're
Seein' that he's chasing.

Then take me disappearin' through the smoke rings of my mind,
Down the foggy ruins of time, far past the frozen leaves,
The haunted, frightened trees, out to the windy beach,
Far from the twisted reach of crazy sorrow.
Yes, to dance beneath the diamond sky with one hand waving free,
Silhouetted by the sea, circled by the circus sands,
With all memory and fate driven deep beneath the waves,
Let me forget about today until tomorrow.

A lot of people think that song is about drugs. I'm really not sure what it's about, but this verse especially makes it seem like it could be about tripping:

Take me on a trip upon your magic swirlin' ship,
My senses have been stripped, my hands can't feel to grip,
My toes too numb to step, wait only for my boot heels
To be wanderin'.
I'm ready to go anywhere, I'm ready for to fade
Into my own parade, cast your dancing spell my way,
I promise to go under it.

Oh, snap.

And just to pound the nail in the coffin further Rolling Stone also put Jack White ahead of George Harrison and Pete Townshend. No matter what you say that guy isn't as good as either of them, plus he's an [COLOR=White]a[/COLOR]ss.

Woah,i didnt know dylan did mr. tambourine man,and yea,he was probably high or something when he wrote it.


Edit:There is no way jack white is a better guitar player than pete townsend.

It's really wired for Dylan to be so whimsical and with so much imagry too. He had to be on some sort of psychedelic.[QUOTE]Woah,i didnt know dylan did mr. tambourine man,and yea,he was probably high or something when he wrote it.[/QUOTE]That's too bad it's way better than the Byrds version. :(

You should download it. :thumb:

I like Bob Dylan's version more. It's more pleasing to the ear.

You need to get into Dylan, my friend. I think Blood on the Tracks is Dylan's best cd, but Highway 61 is probably the best cd to buy first. It seems to be the easiest for people new to Dylan to get into. If you like that, then I'll have some more Dylan to recommend to you.

Don't get me started on the Rolling Stone list unless you want to hear a long rant :angry:

The list blows.

[QUOTE=RNR]I like Bob Dylan's version more. It's more pleasing to the ear.[/QUOTE]
Me too. For some reason everyone else I know likes the byrds version better though.

It's because it's electric probably. Eventhough it's only clean tone. Acoustic>clean electric.

We can still request albums in this thread and just give the person the link over AIM or e-mail.

I just think its about being put under the spell of a beautiful song. I can see how it could be about drugs, though.

I like the Dylan version more, as well. Its a lot more soothing. I'm actually just not much a Byrds fan.

[QUOTE=angusmaster]I will :thumb: ,and im thinkin about buying a dylan cd,almost all the songs i have heard from him i like.[/QUOTE]

Buy Highway 61 Revisited first. I have a bunch of Dylan albums and I could send you a couple if you have AIM :)

Sadly :upset: ,i dont have AIM,computer is too slow,but thanks for tellin me which dylan cd to buy first.

[QUOTE]Am I the only one who thinks 90's/00's Dylan is better than 60's/70's Dylan?[/QUOTE]:lol: Yea. :lol:

He had like 10 albums in 10 years that were amazing everything from the 60's by Dylan is good. How can you say that about that era of Dylan!? :amaze:

[QUOTE=Spat Out Plath]Am I the only one who thinks 90's/00's Dylan is better than 60's/70's Dylan?

NP: Love & Theft[/QUOTE]

Yes. You probably are. Love and Theft is a pretty good album though :thumb:

I prefer Time Out of Mind to that though, brilliant album. Also, Oh Mercy, from 1989 is really incredible. Most of the Time is such a beautiful and emotional songs. One of my favorite Dylan songs.

You have the oddest taste in music sometimes, Spat Out Plath.

[QUOTE=Spat Out Plath]Most of the Time is my favourite Dylan song :)

I'm not saying his early period is bad, I just think his most recent albums dwarf everything else. I love his voice now and I think lyrically, he's far darker which I love. Songs like Most Of The Time, Things Have Changed, Lonesome Day Blues, Not Dark Yet...

Goth Dylan \m/[/QUOTE]

Most of the Time is the first Dylan song that I ever heard. Off the High Fidelity soundtrack. Or at least the first Dylan song I can remember hearing. Amazing song. Time Out of Mind is a really dark album, but some of his early stuff is really dark too. I like his early stuff better, but some of his new stuff is really underrated. Some of his '80s stuff really, really sucks though, like Empire Burlesque. Fortunately, I don't own that album, but I heard it was awful, so I listened it for a laugh, and it truly is awful. Infidels really pwns though.

[QUOTE=Spat Out Plath]In what way?[/QUOTE]
Your favorite band is GnR and you prefer 90s and 00s Dylan over 60s and 70s.

^^^weird

Has anyone attempted to read the inside booklet of Highway 61 Revisited? It's a bunch of gibbrish, I read while I was listening to the CD...it sort of made sense, I have to be under the influence of something to truly grasp its meaning.

Im downloadin mr tambourine man-bob dylan right now, and from what ive heard of it,i like his version better.

Wait, did someone cover Mr. Tambourine Man? I'm confused.

[QUOTE=DeusExMachina]Wait, did someone cover Mr. Tambourine Man? I'm confused.[/QUOTE]
Yeah The Byrds did.

Ahh. I've never heard any version other than Dylan's.

Yeah, that was definitely during his dope-smoking days.

I wouldn't go that far, but Love & Theft is pretty good.

I think The Byrds' cover is pretty great.

[QUOTE=EightMilesHigh]
I think The Byrds' cover is pretty great.[/QUOTE]
Thats the version i always grew up hearing,i didnt even know dylan wrote it or did it till today.

Well, Mr. Tambourine Man is my favorite Dylan song, so I'm not sure if I want to hear the Byrds version. I can't imagine anyone doing it better than Bob Dylan.

Yea,now that ive listened to dylan,its better than the byrds.

I all of Dylan's originals are better than covers of his songs. I even like Dylan's All Along the Watchtower better. I'm a Dylan fanatic though, so it makes sense that I like all his originals better.

I think Jimi's is better, but thats just me.

Yea, I think Jimi's is way better.

[QUOTE=Livewired]I think Jimi's is better, but thats just me.[/QUOTE]

Yea, I'm pretty sure I'm the only one who likes the original better. Jimi's version is my favorite Hendrix song though.

Jimi's version of All Along the Watchtower is way better, in my opinion. In Dylan's opinion too, if I'm not mistaken.

Little Wing > All Along the Watchtower, though.

Yea,I like Jimi's better too
