Hard rock. I don't detect a ton of blues in their music.

^^^^

Theres lot of blues. At least in the early stuff. Alot of country music influences too.

k then

Country Rock > Blues Rock

in my opinion.

Steve Earle is country rock ;) He's god.

:chug:

I don't really care which is better. They're both great.

Hydro > Cess

IMO.

IMO: Blues Rock > Country Rock

That's funny, because you have a Bob Dylan avatar and a CCR username. Both more Country Rock than anything else.

What kind of bands are we classifying as country rock?

A lot of the Eagles pre-Hotel California work was country rock. I normally can't stand country, but there are some exceptions.

[QUOTE]That's funny, because you have a Bob Dylan avatar and a CCR username. Both more Country Rock than anything else.[/QUOTE]

if i could have a cool robert johnson avatar I would, though no one would recognise him. As for CCR, I think there are elements of both, i have heard the term "swamp rock". Bob dylan i say if folk rock, although to classify is only to degrade.

[QUOTE=B0nz0]ok ok, i admit it, i'm a classic rock nut. i love led zeppelin, the beatles, the who, eric clapton, the doors, and so on. most of the bands i listen to broke up years before i was born. at 17, nearly every song on my playlist is older than me. but is it just my imagination, or is classic rock experiencing sort of a revival. i am running into an increasing number of classic rock fans my age. at my school (an all boys high school), the school newspaper took a poll of everyone's favorite genre and band. led zeppeling got 5th and the beatles got 6th, behind that rap crap. classic rock made up a large percent of ppls favorite genre. is this just by me, or are other ppl noticing this too?

o and for u classic rock fans, the crime of the new century was that the Yardbirds new CD, Birdland, recieved no attention at all. that deserved a grammy, or 6.

so are there any other classic rock fans out there, and even if ur not, have u been noticing somewhat of a revival in interest for that sort of music?[/QUOTE]


i agree once a few people in my school started listining to the cloassics many other people started noticing it but most of the songs they know are only upstream. but there has been a definite growth in the popularity in classic rock lately :chug:

hey does anyone else here feel out of place since its rock and metal? i think metal should have its own category.

When I joined this forum (May 2003), this board has renued my hate for Metal.

you suck

I think the line between rock and metal in this forum is expanding. I think they should have separate categories, like the punk forum.

[QUOTE=i am miik]What kind of bands are we classifying as country rock?

Most of The Grateful Dead, Bob Dylan, The Eagles, The Byrds, Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young, Buffalo Sprinfield, Neil Young, New Riders of the Purple Sage, Country Joe and The Fish, CCR, some Allman Brothers, and Elvis Presley.

Obviously those are highlights, and I wouldn't be surprised if most of you didn't know a few. Well, that easily shows how underrated Country-Rock is.

[QUOTE=gocaps99]you suck[/QUOTE]

You lose MX.

All this talk about country rock and blues rock has dragged on, let's talk about jazz rock. Great music IMO.

Jazz Rock is kind of rare, especially strait up Jazz Rock.

^^Which is why Steely Dan is so great.

steely dan is awesome. They're great musicians. Speaking of country joe and the fish can anyone reccomend any of his stuff? All I've seen of them is at woodstock.

"Feel like I'm Fixin' to Die Rag"

I have came to this conclusion

Tommy + Jesus Christ superstar > all

He plays that at woodstock, I've seen it and love it. Anything else?

It's like all of the idiot elitist(sp) death metal idiots get together in one place. But you have to look past them ;)

"Janis"

Now keep in mind, his live stuff is sooo much different than some of his recorded stuff.

No, RockandRoll's askin' for good Country joe songs.


EDIT: Great, now you've made me look like the irrelevant idiot :mad:

Makes sense to me.


Forgive my nonsmartingness (I can't spell ignorance) but who or what is Country joe?

edit:w00t

Country Joe Mcdonald and The Fish, he's a Folk/Psychedelia artist, he's from the 60's San Fransico scene.
