Yeah, I guess... eh, whatever.

ALL the dead new years eve show are good, there's a DVD of one floating around...

neat-o

[QUOTE=thickasabrick]Name one person in this thread who thinks Garcia is the highest form of human existance....or even the highest form of musician.

I like Garcia, he's an all around cool guy, and good musician. But I could name about two dozen people I would bow to before bowing to Garcia.[/QUOTE]
This got me thinking.....

Top 10 musicians I respect the most
------------------------------------
1. Syd Barrett
2. John Coltrane
3. John Lennon
4. Bob Dylan
5. Jim Morrison
6. Jeff Beck
7. Miles Davis
8. Frank Zappa
9. Robert Johnson
10. Jerry Garcia

That was hard as hell. Still kinda unsure about this. :-/

I like the change.

Schyma:
1. Bob Dylan
2. Neil Young
3. Bob Marley
4. Jim Morrison
5. John Lennon
6. Jimi Hendrix
7. Miles Davis
9. Johnny Cash
10. Syd Barret

There's a rough list that most likely changes with the weather.

edit- Hey Schyma (or anyone), who would you stick on a list for people (not just musicians) you'd want to smoke up/trip out with? My list would almost be the same....except I'd stick Einstein on there (he could really contribute to mushroom tripping conversations) and probably Shakespeare too. And Hemingway and Nietzsche.

1. Jerry Garcia
2. Johnny Cash
2. Woody Guthrie
3. George Harrison
4. Elvis Presely
5. Jimmy Cliff
6. D. Boon
7. Bob Marley
7. Peter Tosh
8. David Grisman
9. Bob Dylan
10. Dr. John

Runners Up:

Tim DeLaughter
Warren Haynes
Bill Monroe
Tony Rice
Jeff Lynne
Paul Mcartney
etc

Some I respect equally...and couldn't leave out.

I could never do a top 10. Maybe in a specific genre, but never an overall top 10.

Very respectable list there Badmoon. You basically included everyone that I thought of, but didn't have room for on my list...except for Dr. John, I'm still not very familar with him or his music.

And I notice you are back to the Jerry avatar. I remember you had that exact same avatar when I first joined this site. You only had like 6 thousand posts back then. I still thought that was a monsterous amount.

Penny Lane is one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard. Same with Strawberry Fields and the rest of the songs from MMT.

edit- Fireworks tonight! I'm not sure if it's Saskatchewan's or just Regina's 100th birthday....but man is our city celebrating. If only those dirty Winnipegers didn't overrun our city for the football game. I hate football and everything it stands for (except teamwork, having fun, and being outside on nice sunny days...which I find most football players/fans forgot about long ago).

MMT is good, but I find that six of the tracks are really incredible. I Am The Walrus, Penny Lane, Strawberry Fields Forever, All You Need is Love, Hello Goodbye, and The Fool on the Hill. That's my take of the album, at least.

[QUOTE=Badmoon]1. Jerry Garcia

Are you the one that lived in New Orleans? If so, how are things going?

Nope, I'm from Illinois.

I think Guitrguy and Gilmour are from somewhere in Louisiana.

oh ok not you then

Well it's good to know your safe :lol:

[QUOTE=thunderzstruck]Are you the one that lived in New Orleans? If so, how are things going?[/QUOTE]

I think Badmoon lives in Chicago.

I think MMT is the Beatles best album plainly because I love them for the fact that they made beautiful music, and their most beautiful songs are on this album.

edit- I suppose I'm a little late on the uptake.

[QUOTE=Badmoon]Nope, I'm from Illinois.

Yeah, they both had to evacuate. Hope they're ok...

Random fact - Eddie Van Halen plays the guitar solo in Michael Jackson's "Beat It", which is an awesome song.

I'm sure if they evacuated they're fine

Maybe homeless and completely broke, but fine

Imagine having two days notice to plan to rebuild your life? You would have to find what you needed to bring, where you would go, and then leave your house knowing that you will never see it again. I couldn't imagine. If I had a choice, I would probably go to Oregon, though


Phil Lesh-For being an amazing bassist and person
Frank Zappa-For being rediculously original
George Harrison-For being a good person musician
Neil Young-Do I need to explain?
Bob Dylan-For changing America forever
Jerry Garcia-For leading a sub-culture (neg rep for heroin abuse even when his friends/family/deadheads were begging him to stop)
Grace Slick-For being a female Classic Rock vocalist that survived
Cass Eliott-For putting up woth all the **** she had to put up with
Richard Thompson-For being an amazing guitarist

In no paticualr order, with knowlege that I forgot a great many

Jerry Garcia
Frank Zappa
George Harrison
Duane Allman
Bob Dylan
Johnny Cash
Steve Vai(ohshi)
Phil Lesh
Jeff Beck
Jim Morrison

Nietzsche and Einstein for sure Timothy Leary, George Clinton, Ash Ra Tempel, the original Merry Pranksters, my dad, Bob Marley, King George III and all the CR regulars so we could argue over music. Each time I get into a conversation about music with my friends they always get pissed at me because I own them soooo bad. (seriously) Does that happen to anyone else?

My friends are too cool for music.

Musicians I respect the most:
Hendrix
Jeff Beck
Entwistle
Townshend (as a writer)
JPJ (yea that's right, fanboy over here)
Ginger Baker
Bob Dylan
Jerry Garcia
Ian Anderson
David Gilmour
Eric Clapton
George Harrison

Everyone has mentioned most of my most respected.
Here are the rest:
Jeff Lynne
Cat Stevens
Stephen Stills
Steve Miller

Ah, I forgot Stephen Stills.

I respect everyone who makes good music :). I can't quite figure out who I respect the most.

I'll try my own list:

1. John Lennon
2. Keith Moon
3. Count Basie
4. Keith Emerson
5. Buddy Rich
6. John Entwistle
7. Ian Anderson
8. Pete Townshend
9. George Harrison
10. Jack Bruce

I don't think I could put a top 10 list or anything, I'd be constantly changing my mind and such.

It'd be great to toke up with Einstein, Morrisson, Nietsche, Oscar Wilde, Moses, Jesus, Mohammed, Buddha, Descartes... Actually I'm sure there's a ton of people who'd be sweet to toke up with.

Smoking with Sartre and Camus would be cool. And Foucalt. And many other people already listed.

I give this list thing a go:

Bob Dylan
Miles Davis (as a musician, at least)
Pete Townshend
Sylvester Stewart (as a musician, at least)
Eh, this is pretty tough

I strongly resent that dirty Winnipegers comment :angry: :p

I don't think anyone in Regina cares about the 100th birthday, hehe, it's definitely all about the labour day classic. btw you guys won incase you weren't paying attention :angry: :angry: :angry:

Oh ya, I want in on this list making deal:

1. John Lennon
2. Bob Dylan
3. Neil Young
4. Bob Marley
