[QUOTE=naboo]I've recently discovered an underground pyschadelic/classic rock band from the 60's when I was looking through my dad's old record collection. The West Coast Pop Art Experimental Band is their name and I think they're fantastic. Does anyone else listen to them? My favorite album is Volume 2.[/QUOTE]

I have Part 1. Some songs are pretty good, others are nearly unbearable. I definitely thought they had potential to make some very good music and would be interested in hearing Volume 2 or Volume 3.

Any chance you could upload that?

Anyone want anything in the near future?

Sure, I could upload it, but I'm not sure how to upload a full album. So if you could tell me... yeah. I'll upload it tomorrow.

Jeez... you already have alot of what I have/want.

I'd like some Grateful Dead sometime. If you uploaded that I guess it would be cool. Whichever one is their best album...

[QUOTE=Med57]I seem to be the only person around here that completely disagrees with how good CDs sound compared to vinyl. :-\[/QUOTE]
I think they sound the same. I have a bias against Vinyl's as you can't really take them anywhere and they are basically useless outside of your house or friends house.
[QUOTE=Krabsworth]Does anyone else think that Magical Mystery Tour is a far more solid psychedellic album than Sgt. Pepper's?[/QUOTE]
Wow, I was surprised everyone basically agreed that Sgt. Peppers is overrated, mediocre etc, etc...
But I disagree! Be it because Sgt. Peppers is the only album I can remember the first time I listened to it like it was yesterday or be it because it isn't overrated, and is their greatest effort (Back away Abbey Road fans, as with you Rubber Soul-eys!) and not to single you out Med or pick on you, but I still don't understand how people (On this board) think that Sgt. Peppers is overrated but turn around and call "A Day In The Life" their best song (Again not at you, Med or anyone directly that I can think of) I think its their best work because it is an excellent album from start to finish, the only weak track being "With A Little Help From My Friends" which is still great but compared to the rest of the album weak. The whole albums song writing is the Beatles at their best, the creativity of the Beatles is at its peak, the album never stops grabbing your attention you might drift off for a minute or two during "With A Little Help from My Friends" until "Lucy In the Sky with Diamonds" comes on and immediately grabs you right back. This is not an overrated record; an overrated record is one that has 6 great songs and 7 half decent ones. This album has 11 great songs and 2 decent ones.
Sgt. Peppers is the album were the Beatles came out of the closet... so to speak. They stopped holding back their creativity and let it all shine down. Were in early albums they ventured into their creativity or just dipped in, Sgt. Peppers shows how deep they could get, how unique they could sound. No album sounds even similar to Sgt. Peppers were as Rubber Soul and Revolver have some followers ([I]Odyssey and Oracle[/I], [I]Village Green Preservation Society[/I] come to mind.) no one could manipulate Sgt. Peppers at all no one could write something so poppy sounding yet so distinct and original. Or while MMT has, what, like 9 possible singles it doesn't flow it sounds just like 9 singles put on one disc with 2(?) odd balls thrown in here and there.

Thats all I got for now. :)

[QUOTE=zabbit82]BTW, next time you're online in the next few days, can I get the new Nine Inch Nails album from you? Thanks either way.[/QUOTE]
Sure, I'll get on now. You need to take Jane's Addiction from me. You'd like them... I think!

[QUOTE=Jacaranda]No one could manipulate Sgt. Peppers at all no one could write something so poppy sounding yet so distinct and original.[/QUOTE]

Agreed, that album is one of a kind. I remember reading in the notes in the CD's cover packet that the band insisted that everything in the record sounded different. The recording, the sounds, the concepts, everything. That may be why its among one of the best albums ever, but then again the Beatles were a phenominon that will prolly never happen again.

I recently took a listen to this album, but I think it is a bit overrated. Don't get me wrong, the album is very creative, maybe thier most creative, but the whole thing just sounds very different for me. I really like the last two songs on there, but the rest are alright. I personaly favor Revolver as my favorite, maybe even thier best (thanks for that album also!).

BTW, next time you're online in the next few days, can I get the new Nine Inch Nails album from you? Thanks either way.

I heard a Janes Addiction song in a Hard Rock Cafe, I thought it was pretty good. The video had a dude dressing up as a chick, and I guess the band bombing around in a grocery store.

Been Caught Stealing!
I been caught stealing, once when I was 5!
Ya Perry Farrell (Singer), is defently one cool dude. I'm still upset with Med calling them a decent band. And then some guy had a user title of "Perr Farrell Annoys Me".:upset:

[QUOTE]Been Caught Stealing! [/QUOTE]

That's it! :)

Sorry Jac, but I also prefer MMT over Sgt. Peppers. It just appealed to me more the first time I listened to it, in comparison to the first time I listened to Sgt. Peppers. BTW The Fool on the Hill is quickly becoming my favourite McCartney song.

Goddam[B]n[/B] I spend a lot at this one band t-shirt store. I just barely bought a new Beatles shirt there, and today I bought a new Doors shirt. It's awesome, I'll try to find a picture of it.

meh Abbey Road is still better

Awesome, I found it.

I like that "Busted By The Man" one :lol:

Haha yeah I always enjoy reading the back of that one.

The thing I liked most about the one I got is that it doesn't have just Morrison on it. I think most people don't even know what the other band members look like.

lunch, ive got to nab the ox anthology and mr. fantasy from you. ive got some stuff from your needed list.

ive been li stening to a lot of allman brothers again. damn last.fm. erasing almost 200 tracks. how will it be representative of what i listen to now!

I've been wanting to get into the allman brothers. What songs would you recommend 'freud?

blue sky
one way out
ramblin' man
trouble no more
aint wastin' time no more
every hungry woman
whipping post
mountain jam
midnight rider
statesboro blues
hoochie coochie man
melissa
in memory of elizabeth reed
jessica

theres a lot more. buy a cd. or 3. or 4.

Thanks man. I probably will buy some of their albums if I like these songs. I always seem to end up seeing albums by bands I'm getting into for really cheap. Happened with Yes and Jeff Buckley.

I fuking hate the doors, or any other draft dodging SOB

[QUOTE=VRstone87]I fuking hate the doors, or any other draft dodging SOB[/QUOTE]

Well that's just fantastic. Thanks for your insightful input.

NP: (ironically) The Unknown Soldier

[QUOTE=VRstone87]I fuking hate the doors, or any other draft dodging SOB[/QUOTE]
hay kool!

you found jeff buckley cheap? i spent 30 bucks on the legacy edition of grace and then got the regular grace for free from work.

[QUOTE]I fuking hate the doors, or any other draft dodging SOB[/QUOTE]I hate [B]you[/B], now get out of this thread. :)

JonG: How can you say [I]Sgt. Peppers[/I] ended weakly?

Revolver > White Album > Sgt Peppers > Rubber Soul > Magical Mystery Tour > Let It Be

[I]Sgt. Peppers[/I] had about 4 songs I didn't care for other than that, fantastic album.

After 26 hours, my computer has pulled through, has overcome the impossible and finally downloaded that Allman Brothers file.

I got Grace in a 3 for $30 deal so yeah I definitely couldn't complain. Where do you work?

Schyma, you don't like Abbey Road? No mention or anything...

I knew I forgot something....:amaze:

It's between[I] Rubber Soul[/I] and [I]Magical Mystery Tour[/I] for me.

i WORKED at borders. they didnt like me.

schyma, tell me how you like it.

edit: poor! abbey road is marvelous.

IMO Revolver > Magical Mystery Tour > Abbey Road > Sgt. Peppers > White Album > Rubber Soul > Let It Be

[I]Abby Road [/I]is a very un-easy album with me. I believe it to be overrated at times. Which reminds me how I need to get another copy....lost mine.

NP: Toccata and Fugue, for organ in D minor - Johann Sebastian Bach

The most horrifyingly beautiful peice of music my ears have ever touched. I can't stop listening to it.......

can you upload it?

[QUOTE=n00bguitarist]I'd say they are just about equal in psychedelia, but I like Sgt. Pepper's more. And Sgt. Pepper's is more popular than MMT mostly for the fact that it was a revolutionary album, there was nothing like it at the time. However, I believe that if you like Sgt. Pepper's, then you should give The Piper At The Gates Of Dawn by Pink Floyd a listen.[/QUOTE]

those albums were actually being recorded at the same time at abbey road studios. the pink floyd (as they were known at the time) asked to watch the beatles recording

Yep. Roger Waters says several times in interviews that he is a John Lennon fan and thinks his songwriting is amazing. Which is true, John Lennon was truly a genius.

[quote]I fuking hate the doors, or any other draft dodging SOB[/quote]

I see we have a bitter Vietnam veteran, here.

Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Jethro Tull, The Rollingstones, The Eagles....

[QUOTE=Rook]Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Jethro Tull, The Rollingstones, The Eagles....[/QUOTE]

What about them?

haha. it irritates me muchly when people just list bands like that.

Anyone like Jefferson Airplane? I got their greatest hits for Christmas and I've been hooked on 'em.

I have [I]Surrealistic Pillow[/I] [bonus tracks] and [I]Bless its Pointed Little Head[/I] on CD and both are pretty awesome. I love Bless its Head...., such a cool psychedelic live with lengthy jams.

I like White Rabbit (of course), but I haven't heard much else. My brother's a bigger fan of them than I, maybe I'll listen to the "Worst of Jefferson Airplane" vinyl he bought.

Which brings me to my next point: when we put in our surround sound we had to get a new receiver that we couldn't hook the record player to, so it's in my room now :cool:

I just grabbed a bunch of vinyls of my dad's and mine to listen to.

Jeff Beck - Blow By Blow
Frank Zappa - Apostrophe
The Beates - White Album
Pink Floyd - Meddle
Yes - Yessongs
Yes - Fragile
Yes - Close To The Edge
Yes - The Yes Album
The Warriors Soundtrack
New Riders of the Purple Sage - Panama Red
Grateful Dead - Skeletons In the Closet
Jimi Hendrix - Are You Experienced?
Band of Gypsies
A British blues compilation
Talking Heads - Speaking In Tongues
David Bowie - Changes

We have a ton more downstairs too. That isn't a fraction of my dad's collection.

NP: Yes - Starship Trooper (live, this song pwns hard)

i've always been a sucker for heart of the sunrise. great version on yessongs.

[QUOTE=PinkFreud]i've always been a sucker for heart of the sunrise. great version on yessongs.[/QUOTE]

All of them are great on that album. But on when Howe breaks into that slow chord progression on "Starship Trooper", and then keyboard and guitar solos follow, it is amazing.

You guys know how I feel about Yes and the Grateful Dead, but the rest of that stuff sounds pretty nifty.

So I hear you're moving into a dorm :eek: get prepared, there's nothing quite like it. Are you done packing yet?

NP: John Coltrane - Syeeda's Song Flute

yeah. he's such a great underrated guitarist. the clap is so awesome.

I need to do more packing, but I'm getting there. My roommate hasn't responded to my e-mail yet (he's foreign I think?), so I'm not sure what I need to bring and what he's bringing, but we'll see how that turns out. My hall has community bathrooms :eek:

I wonder if my dad has any Coltrane albums...I know he has Bitches Brew and a couple other Davis ones.
