I have Sweetheart of the Rodeo, I don't see why its hailed as a masterpeice.

[QUOTE=robo2448]Yeah that really sucks.

I've been on a country-rock and folk-rock kick lately. I really can't stop listening to The Byrds. I don't even have The Byrds supposed masterpiece (Sweetheart of the Rodeo), but I've been listening to Fifth Dimension and Ballad of An Easy Rider a lot. I need Sweetheart of the Rodeo for Christmas. The Byrds are so catchy with McGuinn's 12 string and perfect vocal harmonies, I just can't stop listening to them.

np- I Know My Rider (I Know You Rider)[/QUOTE]

Yea, The Byrds are great.

Has anyone ever noticed how big of an influence The Byrds had on Tom Petty. Just listen to "The Waiting" -- it might aswell have been written by The Byrds.

[QUOTE=Livewired]I have Sweetheart of the Rodeo, I don't see why its hailed as a masterpeice.[/QUOTE]

Well I'm really digging The Byrds now and I really like the songs I've heard off of it (even if that's just 2) so I'm going to give it a try.

Edit- I noticed that a little about Tom Petty too. Some of his songs have similar laid back 12 string riffs. I need to get some Tom Petty too. Plus Petty sings a little like Dylan:cool:.

I have a lot of cds I want for Christmas. Hopefully the grandparents come through in the clutch with some checks.

Wasn't it actually written by The Byrds? Or am I thinking of a different Tom Petty song?

edit: it was "So You Want to Be a Rock n' Roll Star"

[QUOTE=Illmatic]Wasn't it actually written by The Byrds? Or am I thinking of a different Tom Petty song?[/QUOTE]

Allmusic says it was written by Petty. I'm not sure which Byrds song Petty covered. :)

[QUOTE=Badmoon]No, but I've been thinking about reading it.[/QUOTE]
definitely do it. its an excellent book. you mght have a hard time finding it though.

i dislike the byrds and tom petty.

sumbody send me some zappa plz

what do you have for trade?

[QUOTE=PinkFreud]what do you have for trade?[/QUOTE]

What do you want?

nothing in particular now, but if you had a list or something i might be able to find something. as it stands, i have so much music that i have a hard time thinking up something off the top of my head.

Hmm bringing up Petty makes me think I should do a Petty song for the rock covers contest...first I need to get a mixer/soundboard though.:(

You could still record something without a mixer couldn't you? Doing a Petty song would be cool. I still haven't picked what song I want to do though...


NP: The Beatles - Got to Get You into My Life

[QUOTE=jpj]Does anyone know what ELP album Karn Evil 9 is on? I can't seem to find it.[/QUOTE]

It's on Brain Salad Surgery.

Someone might have answered that already.

brain salad surgery is a great album....some really nice pieces on that, especially toccata

Yea, I agree. Right now my favorite ELP song is Tarkus, although Brain Salad Surgery is better than the Tarkus album overall.

I'm getting their first album for Christmas, and I really want Trilogy and Welcome Back My Friends...(some ELP live album, Karn Evil 9 is 35 minutes).

Karn Evil 9 is an awesome piece. Especially the 1st Part, 2nd Impression. It has so many catchy riffs and changes.

NP: Love - Maybe the People Would Be the Times or Between Clark and Hilldale (little excessive title)

Doh!

Oh my god, I'm such an idiot. I have Brain Salad Surgery, it was my first ELP album.

"Welcome back my friends to the show that never ends, we're so glad you could attend, come inside, come inside..."

Thats the only song by them I know.:cool:

When does everyone get off for Chritstmas? 23rd for me.

[QUOTE=Seafroggys]brain salad surgery is a great album....some really nice pieces on that, especially toccata[/QUOTE]

I love Toccata, I want to get my hands on a the original classical version (its bassed on a piece for classical piano.) I love the drumming, too.

Yeah, so I've been on a Nightwish kick lately (not that they have anything to do with Classic Rock.)

Ah, how I miss this, the CR thread

I have come to show my new avatar and marvel at how different this place looks form the other side

I should prolly be around more once the old college applications are out

Do you guys get two weeks of too, or what?

Hey, it's Amanda!

[QUOTE=Woodstock]This Friday :cool:[/QUOTE]

[QUOTE=Obi One Kenodi]Lucky SOB, I don't get off 'till the 23rd. :angry:[/QUOTE]Same here.. It sucks. I go back to school on the 9th though.

I get off the 23rd and go back either the 2nd or the 3rd. PWNED.

I get to go home this Friday and I don't have to go back til the 17th.

[QUOTE=Illmatic]I get to go home this Friday and I don't have to go back til the 17th.[/QUOTE]
I knew some college kid would come in here and brag. :p

I think I go back on the 3rd. My gay brother is coming home from WVU on Thursday and is gonna be here until who knows when.

Why are you using AC/DC 4 LYFE JPJ?

My password was saved and than all the sudden it wasn't saved, and I had forgotten it. Now I'm at my mom's where the password is still saved.

ooooh yeah you guys are so lucky.

oh wait. ive been off since thursday and dont go back til the 9th. wooooow.

haha. i dont like it though. i cant wait to get back to college.

So.. Forever Changes is awesome. The bonus tracks are good too.

Wonder People(I Do Wonder) is so good.

I get off on Friday.

My last day of school is the 23rd. Ghey. Just an eight day break. It blows. What's even worse is that my AP US History teacher is giving us a test the last day. We had one test about a month and a half ago, and have one tomorrow. So we've got a pretty consistent routine of a test every month and a half or so. Now he's giving us a test one week after our last so he can give us a test the last day of school. What a fag. I think I'm going to take the test on Thursday so I can just cut school on Friday because I don't want to be there.

And yeah... Forever Changes is awesome. So is Revolver. I think Revolver might be the greatest psychadelic album ever.
