Kind of like Flogging Molly, but more versatile and original (IMO)

[QUOTE=JonG]'moon what are The Pogues like? I see you and EMH talking about them, I'd like to check 'em out.

Thanks for the GD.[/QUOTE]

The Pogues are basically '80s punk rock similar to The Clash, injected with dark humour and traditional Irish folk music. I believe banjos are involved.

Eh. I like Flogging Molly. I should check 'em out.

Haha, I looked at that R&Mer of the Month, and my name is in the list. That's funny.

Ha I nominated you because you've uploaded a million albums for me. Somehow I got nominated too. I've never even made a thread in R&M.

Just because you've never made a thread doesn't necessarily mean you are helpful in every thread you post in. IMO 1 good thread < a lot of helpful posts, although most people overlook that.

Hm, top six favorite bands (this changes around all the time, except the top two.)

1. Pink Floyd
2. The Who
3. Cream
4. The Doors
5. Iron Maiden
6. Deep Purple

After that I'd have Bob Dylan, Neil Young, The Beatles, Black Sabbath, The Grateful Dead, The Allmen Brothers, Yes, Rush, and a million other bands I don't want to take the time to type up.

In other news, VU's Loaded is totally awesome. Definitly on par with VU and Nicko.

Classic Rock is amazing stuff. im 19 and the stuff is older than i am but i still love it. heres some of the stuff i listen to

AC/DC
Led Zepplin
Eric Clapton
Fleetwood Mac
Aerosmith
Pink Floyd
The Doors
Lynard Skynard
The Rolling Stones
The Beatles
Toto
The Who
The Guess Who
Van Halen
ZZ Top

[QUOTE]Toto[/QUOTE]

I haven't heard of them. What are they like? Welcome, btw.

Hahaha! I would never have thought I'd see Toto brought up in this thread. Let's leave it at that.

Eww, Toto.

Poco>Toto

Total opposites anyway.

[QUOTE]Poco>Toto[/QUOTE]
I've heard about my dad/aunt/uncle talk about them both. Whenever one is brought up the other is because my aunt gets them mixed up. I've never heard either one them though.

Right now it would probably be

1. The Who
2. Pink Floyd
3. The Beatles
4. Notorious B.I.G.
5. Rage Against The Machine
6. Sonic Youth

But It'd be a little different if I made the list to be in general

toto's drummer is the ****. he's real good. jeff porcaro is great. and steve lukather's a monster guitarist. he toured with jeff beck.

Classic rock:

1) Pink Floyd
2) Led Zeppelin
3) The Grateful Dead
4) The Beatles
5) The Who
6) Deep Purple/Lynyrd Skynyrd/Allman Brothers (probably higher, but I haven't heard enough :-/ )

Modern rock:

1) The Lost Trailers
2) Dave Matthews Band
3) Counting Crows
4) Red Hot Chili Peppers
5) idk...

And what the heck, the rap I can listen to without killing myself

The Roots
De La Soul
N.W.A
Tupac
Kanye West

Toto does have talent in terms of playing ability, but their sound is polished to the point where I just want to throw up. And I've yet to actually hear a song I like by them.

That's actually just going by the one album I have by them (dad's hand-me-down vinyl).

duuuude. my last fm isnt working and im freaking ouuuuut.

Heh, I have almost listened to more Dead then Minutemen. Which is amazing, because Minutemen are all 1-3 minute songs.

:o

I bet I've listened to over 200 Dead songs this week.

Black-Throated Wind is so good live. Weir's vocals live>studio.

[QUOTE=robo2448]I'll upload After the Goldrush. It got me into Neil. Good mix of acoustic folk and then rock like Southern Man.[/QUOTE]
Ah nah thats alright I have it already I'm was just trying to think of a good album to get him started since I basically think they all are good.

[QUOTE]ELO* ;-) And way to go check out my last fm, haha. I think I can safely say Trans-Siberian Orchestra is up there in my favorite bands now.[/QUOTE]
Oh shi :S typo! Hey, I didn't need to check the Last.fm for anything except Pink Floyd and George Harrison the rest I knew.

[QUOTE]Actually, Eminem has written some really good stuff (check out "Stan" if you don't believe me)[/QUOTE]
Eminem is my favorite rapper. :) The Eminem Show is excellent, but anything after that is not even good.

Toto is just horrible from what I've heard. I heard like their greatest hits and I was done.

[QUOTE]6. Sonic Youth[/QUOTE]
Yay! I just gave my friend [I]Goo[/I] and I haven't talked to him but I heard he was raving about it the other day. They are excellent, the lady girl in the band was my secound choice for avatar.

I don't mind Eminem at all. He has great flow and a great sense of humor. The problem are his stupid serious, emotional songs. He sacrifices lightning fast rhymes and catchy beats for shouted, angsty lyrics. Despite their usual important meaning, I find them too dreary.

I used to like Eminem back in the day, but then I just altogether stopped listening to rap. Now all I listen to is a little 36 Mafia every now and then.

Jacaranda, who the hell is that in your avatar? It looks like Kirsten Dunst dressed up like a clown.

It looks more like Debbie Harry.

I've been forced to assume it's Peggy Suicide judging by your usetitle.

I prefer some of his serious stuff to some of his really stupid trying to be funny songs. A[FONT="Verdana"]s[/FONT]s Like That was atrocious in every sense of the word.

[QUOTE=thickasabrick]It looks more like Debbie Harry.[/QUOTE]

That's what I was thinking too.

np: Stevie Wonder - Sir Duke

[QUOTE=MidnightRider]I used to like Eminem back in the day, but then I just altogether stopped listening to rap. Now all I listen to is a little [B]36 Mafia[/B] every now and then.

Makes sense seeing how you are from tennesse, some the rappers in 36 are pretty good

[QUOTE=thickasabrick]It looks more like Debbie Harry.[/QUOTE]
Ding, ding winner.
[I]Peggy Suicide[/I] is a concept album by Julian Cope who was a member of the Teardrop Explosion back in the day.

Oh, just saw Natural Born Killers, and let me just say, it might be one of my top 5 films of all time excellent movie. Anyone else seen it? Its very violent though but still great. I reckon if you haven't seen it EMH you'd like it, its written by Quentin. Oliver Stone directed.

[QUOTE=TheDMV]Harvest is a marvelous acoustic album, but for me, nothing can replace After The Goldrush. The songs are simple, and beautiful. The title track might be his all time best.[/QUOTE]

I completely agree. After the Goldrush is a stunning album.

Harvest actually disappointed me a little bit when I first got it. Sure you've got great songs like Old Man, Heart of Gold, and The Needle and Damage Done, but after that I didn't think it had a whole lot going for it. IMO the other tracks on the album fell from soft and meaningful to boring.

Harvest and On The Beach are my favorites. I'm looking into getting more Neil, so I checked out Zuma, and it's really cool. I'll probably buy that next.

I have After The Goldrush on my computer, but I haven't listened to much of it yet. I'll probably get that one after I listen to it more.

NP: CSNY - 4 & 20 (at Woodstock, thanks for that upload)

Sweet, I thought it looked like her. Anyone else find her extremely attractive? (in regards to her earlier days moreso).

Written by Tarantino and directed by Stone, it's bound to be an exceptionally violent and enjoyable movie.

Schyma, I think we have like the same tastes in almost everything. Which reminds me, does anyone have any Guthrie that isn't Dustbowl Ballads that they would be willing to send out? Just curious.

ya man Moody Blues is awsome. I can't believe that so many people don'y know Knights in White Satin! It was the definitive love song of our parents generation! If you listen to classic rock, Moody Blues is not to bew missed!

Anyways, i listen to zep, floyd, rush, acdc, moody, clapton, steppen wolf, greaful dead, B,S&T, Santana(seig heil!), the works pretty much, and i've just in the past year discovered a cool band by the name of King Crimson. Perhaps you've heard of them? Anyways, i've always thought that stuff like King Crimson and Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd was the best. Other bands that keep it very simplistic and unoriginal tend to bore me.

does anybody have

Lizard from King crimson
or
Workingmans Dead from the Dead (mine got deleted off my CP)

Its so weird hearing a good song on TV, i just heard Melissa on some commercial.

Today was an awesome day. First of all, for some reason I didn't go to sleep until around 3 in the morning so I was really tired and didn't feel like going to school and just cut the first 3 periods and drove around listening to Pink Floyd for an hour. It was cool. I'll get detention for cutting though. Then today, I had my first class of Popular Music in America. It was freaking awesome. We just sat in a circle and discussed music for 40 minutes. It felt like some of our discussions in this thread, just sitting around and talking about music. The teacher is awesome, he has the most diverse tastes of anyone I've ever met. He asked me what my favorite Bob Dylan lyric was, and I said, "The sun's not yellow, it's chicken." I've always thought that was an awesome line.

np- Deserted Cities of the Heart (live)

Bada[SIZE="2"]ss[/SIZE] alert! :p

That's cool though, I wish I had a class like that.

Heh. I am in the middle of exams so I got to wake up at 11:00. Then I listened to simon and garfunkle for a while, went and wrote my exam, listened to simon and garfunkle again and now I'm here. I'll probably go for a bike ride or something in a bit too. It's such a nice day today, although it's rather peculiar weather for midwinter.

Haha, the sun's not yellow, it's chicken. I love that. Tombstone Blues has some of the greatest lyrics, a little nonsensical though from what I've gathered.

I always thought "he not busy being born is busy dying" was one of Dylan's best lines.

I always liked the lyrics in Hurricane.

"Couldn't help but feel ashamed, to live in a land, where justice is a game."

Yeah I love that line. I think George Harrison said that was one of his favorite lines ever. Tombstone Blues has been like my favorite song for 3 weeks. It's so chaotic, the rhythm all seems like it's going to collapse any minute, and I love Bloomfield's guitarwork on that song. And the lyrics are so nonsensical and cool. Perfect song.

Simon and Garfunkel own.

And I had the lyrics to Hurricane in my sig on EF for a while. Actually, they might still be in my sig, I forget.

I think Dylan's lyrics in almost all of his songs are incredible. Got to say that Mr. Tambourine Man is my favorite song of his though.

Who else agrees that Dylan is terrible live? He wasn't bad on the Concert for Bangladesh, but in general I think he's a pretty lousy live performer.

I listened to Disreali Gears for the first time in a while, its a great album,

I pulled it out again because i'm doing a world civ project on the Travels Of Ulysses (the oddessy) and im going to play that song in the backround when i present it

I think Dylan can put on a decent live show, i have a bootleg from 66 thats really good.

Ya, I love Hurricane. The bassist in my band knows someone who can play the violin for it.
