Pink Floyd were amazing. I just wished I didn't have to sit though 6 hours of music I didn't enjoy to much to hear it. (but it was well worth it)

[QUOTE=lunch998]I didn't see any of it, I'm just waiting for it to come up on the internet.[/QUOTE]
I think you can watch the performances on aolmusic.com if you sign some Live 8 petition or something.

I can't find a way to skip the crap performances and get to the good stuff.

bumpo

I just bought After the Gold Rush. Great album.

I just wrote a mini FA on Jefferson Airplane for my new weekly series (all the metalheads are doing it, I figured I should join in).

INCREDIBLE album! :thumb:

I liked it. Too many people only know them for White Rabbit and Somebody to Love.

Bah, I know what you mean. [I]Surrealistic Pillow[/I] is an album that you should listen to all the way through.

So, I'm going CD shopping tomorrow. I'm going to HMV, and they have a deal on some CDs that's 3 CDs for $30. Under that deal, I'm planning on getting an old David Bowie album, Oasis - WTSMG, and maybe an old Neil Young album.

[QUOTE=rock not roll]Heh, rockin' in the free world by all of the Canadian performers was so sloppy. Still good, obviously.[/QUOTE]
I liked that performance. Neil's not looking too bad, for a guy who just had a brain aneurysm.

[QUOTE=savarious]I have always been a classic rock fan. The first band I really liked was Led Zeppelin. From there I started to get into Rush, the Who, Van Halen, Pink Floyd, Boston and Cream. Now I'm more into progressive metal, but I still listen to classic rock from time to time.[/QUOTE]

Surely Pink Floyd and Rush are more Prog than Classic Rock?

Mind you, there seems to be a lot of crossover between the 2 genres around that time.

And yeah, I like the older stuff. Modern music just ain't the same.

some fav bands......

Led Zep
AC/DC
Creedence Clearwater Revival
Cream
Aerosmith
ZZ Top
Clapton (that's not a band!!! but you know what I mean)

That's a good list. I'm a big Clapton fan.

Neil's first 2 songs-meh

Finale was pretty cool especially because Gordon Lightfoot was in the background singing and he's like 75 years old. Good Day.

Seeing Gordon Lightfoot was cool.

You're right, he's gotta be in his 70s by now :eek:

np: Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da!

Classic Rock is arguably not even a genre. It's a classification of music made in the late 1960's and early 70's. Pink Floyd can be classified as Classic Rock but it is Prog music. Classic Rock is highly diverse classification of music ranging from Jazz Fusion to Country Rock to Prog to Psychedelia and so on. Classic Rock has no particular sound.

I don't like to call Pink Floyd prog, just doesn't seem right.

He's right. Classic rock can apply to rock, prog, proto-punk, some jazz, blues, just about anything if it's from the '60s or '70s.

[QUOTE=Canadian-Guy]np: Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da![/QUOTE]
OK at the end of this song they say "If you want some fun take Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da". What do you think they mean by that? Possible drug?

Has anyone found any Floyd bootlegs yet? If so feel free to post them. :)

Okay, I pretty much agree with this, with the exception of the Jazz Fusion comment. I would never consider Herbie Hancock, Mahavishnu Orch. or Weather Report to be Classic Rock.

No Jeff Beck nor Frank Zappa? I think Jazz Fusion can easily be considered Classic Rock but it all comes down to a matter of opinion. Classic Rock is pretty flexible.

Bah....some say the lizard king is still alive today. I don't believe it, but that would be awesome. I love The Doors.

There are some classic rock bands/musicians that were rock but used bits of jazz, like Van Morrison or The Doors.

You stole guitarguy's avatar^

The Doors had tons of Jazz influence.

I don't really even consider Zappa's stuff like [I]Hot Rats[/I] (Except "WTP") to be Classic Rock, especially if you consider their to be a sound to Classic Rock. That goes for some Jeff Beck stuff too.

But the defintive Fusion bands aren't really Classic Rock. Like Bitches Brew; it has some similarites but is prodiminately Jazz.

It just doesn't seem right to consider Al DiMeola or Jaco Pastorius solo stuff to be Classic Rock.

Yeah, the drumming was very jazzy. It was mostly the drumming but also in the guitar.

I love the doors' drumming, that guy's got style.

What Neil Young albums are a little more electric. Like are thier any good albums that sound more like Southern Man than like O Lonsome Me?

Ragged Glory.

That's all I can think of that's completely electric.
