Well, I don't think they are overrated or anything. Hardly ever mentioned by noobs in this thread.

[QUOTE=themightyquinn23]Actually, it's not good that we keep returning to the same topic to talk about the same stuff over again. This Allman Brothers talk is getting old.[/QUOTE]

Actually whenever we bring up The Allman Brothers, great discussion arises. Because we all pretty much love them, we know there music. And the discussion easily connects to Gov't Mule, and our love for their guitarists.

But they have been brought up about a dozen times and it's the same discussion the same time about how the Allman Brothers are great. I get the idea, they are great, now let's move on!

[QUOTE=lunch998]You guys want to play the song line game? Because your right, we would just end up on CSN&Y in a few pages.[/QUOTE]

CSNY is probably a once in 4000 posts discusion unless there's some news.

The allman brothers is for any time :)


By the way, what's a good gov't mule starter album?

you should talk about the yardbirds they rock

[QUOTE=jpjrulestheworld]you should talk about the yardbirds they rock[/QUOTE]

...My god we do love the allmans :amaze:

soooo....who here likes classic rock?

I'd say The Deepend vol. 1, though most would say s/t.

:sad:

Does anybody have anything bad to say about them? I really don't think you can. There songs are catchy. They obviously have skill. What else can I say?

^ Not much else.

*wakes up from the dead* Hey guys im so sorry, ive been totally fuzzed up this weekend, my internet died on me and i spent 1/2 the day in hopital on Saturday... I was running real fast and i tripped and hit my chin on a concrete block, cut right through the chin. 15 stitches and i got major scratchage on me chest. Im at School ATM, so yea.

CCR is cool, but Dire Strights are better.

DVG.

[QUOTE=Superstrat]rock aint gonna die[/QUOTE]
too late.....Maybe rock isn't dead.......maybe its just in a coma

I don't recall any Blue Oyster Cult discussion.

lets talk about them.

They're my favorite American band (of course my favorites are British, but thats besides the point).

Dicki is kinda' fugly. Other than that I have nothing.

Oh and i'l lcheck out that gov't mule album.

[QUOTE=badmoon349]No, the question is...Where the hell is Frail, DVG, Voodoo, RockandRoll ect..[/QUOTE]
Never fear RockAndRoll is here! (well kind of, I still have to read a bunch of pages)


and to answer your question I was at wasaga beach haveing the time of my life.

BOC have like 3 good songs :/ .

rock is something so great and beautiful, it will never die! there will always be classic rock influence like led zeppelin, queen, doors, ect.

[QUOTE=PinkFloyd]BOC have like 3 good songs :/ .[/QUOTE]

Hmmm, by that I assume you mean the only three songs people tend to know about: Reaper, Godzilla, Burnin' (in short hand).

Out of those Godzilla is the best, but I've heard stuff that can bury these. Yeah, I unfortunately have their greatest hits CD, and have heard two of my dad's LPs (Agents of Fortune and Fires of Unknown Origins) which both were okay.

But I must say that their pre-Reaper stuff kicked extraordinary ***. Cities on Flame, Flaming Telepaths, and Astronomy....oh my god! Especially Astronomy, one of the single greatest rock ballads of all time. Even some of the later seventies stuff was pretty decent that know one knows about (In Thee, Black Blade).

However, I must admit after Albert Bouchard was kicked out, they really started making ****ty music.

Anyway, I don't see whats really great about Don't Fear the Reaper (except that middle heavy section was pretty cool). But BOC does have plenty of hidden gems. Plenty. I plan on getting Secret Treaties as soon as I have CD money again.

[QUOTE=PinkFloyd]The Wall is an autobiography of Roger Waters. The only thing involving Barret were his traits that were insparation for many of the characteristics of the central character, Pink.[/QUOTE]
I'm still reading through the thread but I felt the need to reply to this.
The wall is not an autobiography despite the underlying similarities between waters and Pink.

True. Pink is a fictional composite of Waters and Syd.

That's what I said (somewhere). Waters and Syd both wrote songs on the wall. They both wrote it from personal experience and waters (being the genius he is) sort of fused their lives together to make pink.

I'm sort of confused about te empty spaces message thing. Is syd old pink? :amaze:

Yeah. he went crazy, which is what the 'funny farm' thing is about. he had a daily acid habit. not healthy. he started going catatonic on stage, playing simple chords, totally unrelated material, or not playing at all.

Right then :)

Syd helped write songs on The Wall?

[QUOTE=Joel_DK_Clash]Syd helped write songs on The Wall?[/QUOTE]

Well, he didn't quite help but there were some songs or song ideas of syds that waters used when writing the wall.

So he deserves some credit.

Ladies and Gentlemen, I offer you this:

[url=http://classicrock.about.com/library/misc/ptop500.htm]The Top 500 Rock And Roll Songs[/url]

This list got me into to Classic Rock today. Since I don't use P2P devices, I'm gradually assembling as much of this as I can through CDs. I've got 229 of them so far and I haven't disliked a single song.

For reference, you can make fun of me for using a list, but all of these songs are solid gold and I make sure to listen to whatever else comes with the CDs I buy. For example, Mary Jane's Last Dance (Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers) and Higher Power (Boston) aren't on the list, but they're pretty awesome too.

I think the fact that this thread is so huge is a testament to how great Classic Rock is.

I agree with most of that list, a first.

But not the #1 song

[QUOTE=Woodstock]I agree with most of that list, a first.

But not the #1 song[/QUOTE]

I don't think it really matters if people don't agree with number one. It would be very hard to pick a number one that everybody agrees with. Stairway to heaven is the ideal number one song because nobody's going to say "why the hell is that there?"


A I agree with most of that list. Tons of great music on there. though a serious lack of allman brothers. 5 songs out of 500? Somebody's gonna get hurt.
