Rush's vocals suck balls.

"Hummingbird" is my favorite Wilco song and I would have [I]loved[/I] to see them live.

The few relatives that I have in New Orleans (and there are only like, three) have just given up and decided to stay in Chicago :-\

I dislike most Prog. I can't stand Yes, Rush, Camel or any prog band besides the Floyd for that matter. Maybe I'm not going in depth enough. :-/

[I]Electric Ladyland[/I] is [I]amazing[/I] never really realized how awsome it really was until today. The guitar is sooo amazing on this album it's incredible. He turns Dylan's color blind "All Along the Watchtower" and turns it into a kaleidoscope(sp?) of vivid colors I can't describe, he plays the wah wah as if it were an instrument all to itself and the 2 long peices are simply amazing! This is easily his most creative album too and when people talk about how visionary of a guitarist he was they were thinking of this album the most. Simply incredible!

yeah, electric ladyland is what hendrix fans usually point out as his high mark, and an indication of the potential he had, and the direction he would have gone with had he lived. i love it.

and for people who say that he wasnt technically skilled, make them listen to "come on (part 2)". jaw dropping playing.

As someone who prefers Band Of Gypsies ( :eek: ), I still have to say I am a very big fan of Electric Ladyland.

There is also some stuff on Electric Ladyland ("Rainy Day, Dream Away", "Still Raining, Still Dreamin", "(Have You Ever Been To) Electric Ladyland") that shows that he was trying to branch off from rock

right! and band of gypsies showed him going towards a more soul/r&b sound.

I like Geddy Lee's vocals. Obviously not the greatest singer by any stretch, but I think his voice blends well with Rush's, usually, bass driven sound.

[QUOTE=PinkFreud]right! and band of gypsies showed him going towards a more soul/r&b sound.[/QUOTE]

Exactly. It's a bit of a cliche, but I really would want to see where he would go with the RnB/soul/jazz fusion thing.

Unfortunately we will never know :upset:. I was listening to my local CR station the other day, and one of the DJ's was interviewing one of the members of the Animals who apparently was really good friends with Hendrix. It was really interesting hearing about Hendrix's last days. I didn't want to leave, and consiquently, was almost late for work.

me too. i think he wouldve progressed kind of like jeff beck. constantly updating his sound and moving with the times. he was a hip cat.

edit: the bassist for the animals, chas chandler, was hendrix's manager early on. that might have been who it was.

That could've been it...who were the other members of the Animals. If you list his name I'll probably remember who it was.

Oh man, it was Eric Burdon! If I had scrolled up to see Jacaranda's post a while ago it would've saved a lot of time. And speaking of old posts, I really hope Neil's new album actually comes out tomorrow.

[QUOTE=EightMilesHigh]What does everyone think of The Animals? I learned "House Of The Rising Sun" for guitar class about two years ago and remembered that song was pretty darn cool.[/QUOTE]

Yeah I like the Animals sound, one of the pivotal british invasion bands of the mid 60's. I read Eric Burdon's biography, a very interesting read. He was in a large array of groups as you probably know including the funk-esque outfit Eric Burdon & War which he formed whilst in California. I'm interested to hear their sound but am yet to get a hold of any of their music, does anyone have any Eric Burdon & War albums?

I've only heard [I]Spill the Wine[/I] which is a great song so I suppose I should listen to a whole album. Off to Slsk!

Thanks for the tip

My name is Mojo Filter

I think I should do a FA on the Tragically Hip. What does everyone think of them?

[QUOTE=leppermessiah]I think I should do a FA on the Tragically Hip. What does everyone think of them?[/QUOTE]

I'm not really familiar with them, what kind of music did they play?

[QUOTE=leppermessiah]I think I should do a FA on the Tragically Hip. What does everyone think of them?[/QUOTE]

I don't know much about them at all, and if you did an FA on them, I would learn more about them

I like Tragically Hip, I hate to say it but "New Orleans is Sinking" is my favourite song by them.

Neil's album comes out September 27, downloaded the leak but I decided not to listen to it though. I've heard one of the singles and "When God Made Me" though.

Can someone recommend me some prog/classic rock.
I listen to: Rush, Yes, amongst others.
Would be great thanks. :thumb:

Emerson Lake and Palmer, some Pink Floyd, King Crimson.

All off the top of my head, I'm not really a huge prog fan though.

ELP, King Crimson

[QUOTE=JonG]ELP, King Crimson[/QUOTE]Haha, you were beat!!

What about Traffic? Don't they have some more prog based albums?

[QUOTE=Livewired]Emerson Lake and Palmer, some Pink Floyd, King Crimson.

All off the top of my head, I'm not really a huge prog fan though.[/QUOTE]
Right on. :thumb:
Merci Beaucoup.

ELP is one of my favorite Prog Rock bands, if you want some of their stuff either get their s/t, Brain Salad Surgery or Tarkus.

John Barleycorn Must Die and The Low Spark of High-Heeled Boys are Traffic's "proggish" albums.

[QUOTE=Lunch]John Barleycorn Must Die and The Low Spark of High-Heeled Boys are Traffic's "proggish" albums.[/QUOTE]
And good albums at that.

It's funny that Prog just got brought up because my friend just gave me a burned copy of [I]In the Court of the Crimson King[/I]. The only song that I've heard by them is "21st Centery Schizoid Man" and I wasn't too crazy about it. I just listined to 2 more songs off it and so far it's pretty good but I still need to listin to more. I await judgement on it til' I get a few more proper listins in. :)
[QUOTE]If Houston get Hurricane'd, make sure you e-mail us sometime so we know you're not dead [/QUOTE] Will do. ;)

Don't forget Yes and Rush. For some heavier-ish prog check out Liquid Tension Experiment.

EDIT: Oh, you already listen to them, woops

I didn't really like ITCOTCK other than 21st Century Schizoid Man, which is just pure genius.

Yea, I just rediscovered how amazing the album is. Some of the songs are bliss, and his background playing is astounding.

/late

EDIT: ITCOTCK is a great album. I prefer the softer songs, like I Talk To The Wind, and Moondream. I would say Epitaph is my favorite on the album, though.

[QUOTE=JonG]ELP is one of my favorite Prog Rock bands, if you want some of their stuff either get their s/t, Brain Salad Surgery or Tarkus.[/QUOTE]

I have Brain Salad Surgery, is Tarkus any different?

[QUOTE=firecrackercheese]Can someone recommend me some prog/classic rock.

King Crimson and ELP have all been mentioned, but Genesis is also great. Dream Theater is increadable, although they're music is a lot heavier than other prog bands.

[QUOTE=Woodstock] I would say Epitaph is my favorite on the album, though.[/QUOTE]

It's a very dark, pretty song. Much different than the electronic 21stCSM type stuff.
I think my favortie album of their's might be Red.

I've also got Trilogy by ELP and it's really great.

I absolutely love the song For The Turnstiles by Neil Young.

edit- I really like the Tragically Hip. I don't have any of their albums, but they are so popular here on the radio and in the media (they always end up in the newspaper) because they are Canadian. They've got some really great songs, and they are a pretty talented band.

Did you get in in my email or did you aslready have that album?

Are King Crimson really all that great? I have Discipline, and it's decent, but I'm not a huge fan.

Yeah I'm not a big fan of theirs either.

I'm not a BIG fan. I do like their music though.
