[QUOTE=Schyma]I'd also say [I]Eat a Peach[/I] is more essential than [I]Live at Filmore East[/I].[/QUOTE]
Ugh, I'd hate deciding that. I can't chose between my kids. :(

Electric Ladyland
Are You Experienced?
Who's Next
Appetite For Destruction
Harvest
Led Zep 2, 4 (atleast)
The Wall

This is the stuff that every classic rock fan has.

/well, maybe not Harvest, because some classic rock fans suck.

[QUOTE]The psychedelic San Fran scene is massively overrated.[/QUOTE]

Why is it overrated? Not Psychedelic enough?


If so, judging by some the other Psychedelic bands you compare them to, they aren't as Psychedelic (Unless you're talking about Syd Barrett). Unlike bands like the USA, melody/harmony play a large role, there is a pop element. They do not try to play avant garde forms and be that experimental, they play songs and covers. And because of this, these bands are enjoyable to more people and at least listenable. On the topic of The USA, I find their s/t extremely overrated; I can't even listen to it.

The people without Tommy should download that before Lunch hurts them.

Isn't Lunch uploading that :eek:

I'm making a Calexico thread, with mp3's. Though few will be new to you all, that is if you downloaded Convict Pool when I offered it.

my girlfriend has made me listen to their cover of corona but i neglected to download convict pool.

That's a good cover, and you girlfriend has good taste in music. I'll post that song for the other. :)

Thanks for making feel better bout my self PinkFreud, i pretty much have all those albums in the ol family record collection, except for The Kinks, I've only heard "Girl you Really got me now" i forgot the actual title, and to be honest i think it sounds a tad bit like Van Halen, just my opinion, please dont flame.

Are you sure it wasn't that Van Halen cover of "You Really Got Me" :p Cause they covered it. :)

That's probably what it is. That's a great song and a great cover of the song. Atleast Van Halen changed things around on their version of it. They gave it some balls and attitude.

Buy the cd, the packet is pretty good. The download should sustain you for a while though.

edit- Badmoon I like the Garcia and Griman's cover of Knockin' on Heaven's Door. :thumb:

The Hendrix cover of "All Along the Watchtower" is awesome

Can anyone upload The Bands Greatest Hits I haven't heard much and alot of you are talking about how good they are i'd like to check them out.

It's a wicked album.

np: The Beach Boys - Wouldn't It Be Nice?


I've been on a major Beach Boys kick lately.

[QUOTE=sandman420]Can anyone upload The Bands Greatest Hits I haven't heard much and alot of you are talking about how good they are i'd like to check them out.[/QUOTE]

No problem. It'll probably be up in like 20 minutes.

np- Sweet Home Alabama

/awaits flaming for liking such a n00b song.

IMO II is better than IV. Just my thought though//

I never bothered to listen to II because I don't like IV.

guys, take your zep talk to the zep thread. It has no place here.

/we decided a while ago to stop discussing zepplin in the thread.

Thanks for keeping my list updated Freud, it really helped a lot :)

Yeah, we decided to cease all Zeppelin talk in the thread just because there's a lot of it and it could go in the Zep thread.

(Which was on Page 5 before I bumped it this morning.)

[QUOTE=rock not roll]guys, take your zep talk to the zep thread. It has no place here.

That's a good idea.

To steer away from the Zep talk here's the Band Greatest Hits:

enjoy :)

I don' have alot of those essential albums. So, I ask of you, do I sem knowledgable in th feild of classic rock, because my musical collection does not span as deeply as most of yours.

Ok, all this time I've been here and I've never checked out this thread. So what do you guys usually talk about on here? Besides the obvious answer "Classic Rock"
