[QUOTE=Badmoon]I made an account...and that was basically it.[/QUOTE]

That is how far I got too. It was like,"Great, I have a myspace..um...yeah."

I've been too lazy to make a myspace or a Facebook, in spite of all my friends trying to goad me into making one.

I have had a hard time getting into The Band with the exception of a few songs.

Bridge Over Troubled Water has got to be one of the most beautiful songs ever written.

I'm thinking of doing a short Roy Orbison write up.

I was going to do a Roy Orbison write-up eventually:upset:

I thought he was like the only artist I knew a lot about that other people didn't seem to know much about.

[QUOTE=JonG]I was going to say..

16 with a full on beard.

Beast.[/QUOTE]

I had a "full on" beard when I was sixteen....I'm seventeen now and the hairs on the bottom of my chin can be stretched up to touch my nose (although the hairs are really curly so they don't look quite that long). I don't really plan on ever shaving my beard again, it used to be like Jerry Garcia's (really puffy and round), but now I'm going for more of a Jesus Christ type of beard...more long and pointy.

I'd love to see a Roy Orbison write-up....he's probably the most under-recognized/under-appreciated/under-discussed musician possible in these forums.

I like everything I've heard by The Band, but they don't have many songs that actually amaze me. I am fairly on the positive neutral side with them, if you catch what I mean. The Last Waltz is killer though.

'sup deadheads!

even though there's a dedicated thread, I have to say it here.....

George, as long as I"m alive, you'll never be forgotten. :)

Sounds like you've got quite the greasy beard goin' there brick.:p

EDIT: I finally got some decent downloading software, so someone should recommend me some good Jeff Beck, Grateful Dead, King Crimson, and Emerson, Lake and Palmer songs...:)

[QUOTE=zabbit82]So sad that a few of the members had to leave us...

Call Me The Breeze and Simple Man rock my socks :cool:[/QUOTE]
a few? or all but like, 1 or 2 of the original line up?

the lack of stooges irritates me but at least miles (weird), sabbath, and skynyrd are getting in. blondie aint bad either.

Grateful Dead - Box of Rain, Friend of the Devil are my two favorites and anything off [I]American Beauty[/I] is great.
King Crimson - 21st Century Schizoid Man (Including Mirrors), Epitaph, The Great Deceiver, Cadence And Cascade are also all great.

I'll let PinkFreud recommend Jeff Beck. :S
ELP :S I'm not a big fan of them.
What'd program you get?

There is a 14 year old Frehsman with a full beard in my Music Thoery class, none of the frehsman girls will talk to him, but the freshman boys regard him as a god

I wish I had Jerry Garcia's dishwasher :upset:

I want his toilet. I'd find some some sort of sick satisfaction in telling all my frineds I can take a dump in the same one Garcia once did.

i'll take it from there jac!

jeff beck recommendations (i dont know which beck you want so i'll just give you a wide variety):

blues/rock:
blues deluxe
all shook up
you shook me
let me love you
shapes of things
i aint superstitious
rice pudding

jazz-fusion:
come dancing
cause weve ended as lovers
scatterbrain
freeway jam
diamond dust
blue wind
led boots
goodbye pork pie hat

others (techno-ish, other bands, etc.):
what mama said
brush with the blues
lady (beck, bogert, and appice)
guitar shop
big block
behind the veil
where were you
nadia
earthquake
loose cannon
trouble man
definitely maybe
glad all over
star cycle
the pump

and that about wraps it up. i would suggest that you get full albums though.

i knew a kid who had a beard in 7th grade. it was ridiculous.

[QUOTE=chopsticks]I love classic rock...it's practically all I listen too...I have always been a classic rock fan...I think mainly because when I was a little girl, I would listen to what my dad was listening to...

I like stuff like...

The Who
The Guess Who
The Doors
Deep Purple
The Eagles
Cream
Creedance Clearwater Revival
Pink Floyd
The Beatles
Bob Dylan
WAR
The Rollingstones

and much more[/QUOTE]

It could've been better if I wasn't with my fu[SIZE="2"]c[/SIZE]king mom. She started bitchin' and moanin' during the 2nd set and was really starting to piss me off, she was acting like sitting her a[SIZE="2"]s[/SIZE]s on a bench was a chore.

"If this isn't over soon I'm gonna kill myself," she says "All this s[SIZE="2"]h[/SIZE]it sounds the same (Sometime around the long Mountains of the Moon > Terrapin Inspiration jam)." I thought I was gonna have to choke a bitch...


Sorry, I needed to vent my frustrations.

Still sounds awesome though.

Sitting on Top of the World would be amazing.

haha "Choke a Bitch".

Yea, I was singing along to that and The Weight (which was a very nice surprise).

Since nobody mentioned some ELP songs, heres some:

Karn Evil 9 (get the whole thing if you can)
Toccata
Fanfare For the Common Man
Lucky Man

Last night's concert got me in the mood for some Grateful Dead so I went on like a mini-Dead binge and rediscovered some great songs like Doin' That Rag and Born Cross-Eyed. I had forgotten how much I liked Aoxomoxoa and Anthem of the Sun.

Methinks seeing him the weight would be awesome. I'm changing to a Christmas avatar.
/conformity

One of you bump my George Harrison thread from the 3rd page. Badmoon is like the only regular here who actually commented.

Edit- Yeah I suck with Paint

Aoxomoxoa is good. Although I hate the recording quality of AotS.

WotF and BFA are some others I listen to a lot.

So....Cream's reunion was being played on PBS. Anyone else see it? They weren't too good though, Jack and Ginger were playin' pretty good considering their age and Clapton was as good as ever (but that's not that good really) but the vocals were horrible. I know Cream were never known for their great singer but man. I could barley stand them. I guess this would be good for a fan's eyes but me? I'll just stay away from it.

We all knew you would stay away from it anyway.

I watched a little bit of it, then went back to watching Magnolia.

I'm really into Meat Loaf lately. I love how ridiculously dramatically over the top his songs are. Bat Out Of Hell is awesomeness combined with spaghetti.

I watched some of the Reunion.

I really like Born Cross Eyed also.

I missed the reunion on TV...I had a choir concert...

I've been listening to Workingman's Dead a lot lately, I hadn't listened to it in about two or three months before about a week ago.

Hey Illmatic, did Mr. Miyagi (or whatever his real name was) really die? That is truly sad, he was amazing. Since I was just about to leave to do some meditation anyways, I'll just lie and say I'm doing it in his honor.

edit- and on the front page of the newspaper there is always a picture of some celebrity on the top right hand corner, with a caption and saying what page the article is on.....this morning I was greeted by a smiling Jerry Garcia! The article didn't tell me anything new, but I'm glad they wrote such a large article about Jerry and the Dead.

Yea he died last week.

Workingman's Dead is pretty cool. Although there are parts of it that seem off to me, like most Dead music.

Yeah...he died like the day after Thanksgiving :(

You do meditation? Cool beans. I should probably try something like meditation or yoga or whatever, seeing as I have way too much unnecessary stress :(

np: James Brown - Papa's Got A Brand New Bag :cool:

[QUOTE=Out to Lunch]We all knew you would stay away from it anyway.[/QUOTE]
Well I did give it a chance and I was there for the entire program; why shouldn't my opinion matter at all? I don't hold grudges with bands. I even give Zeppelin fair shots.

Robo: Your write up was incredible. I'd give you some more rep if I could. :)

Aoxomoxoa > Anthem of the Sun = :vomit:

Thanks a lot for all your recommendations guys. I can't wait to hear all these!

never mind

The Dead have always distributed music. My dad got free albums by them all the time in the mail. They don't care if you're listening to there music for free, just as long as you are. :)

Haha, I've acctually got quite a few bootlegs off that site.

Mister Blue Sky and I are at my house recording our rendition of the Traveling Wilbury's "Handle With Care". We'll try to get a recording up as soon as possible.
