Not enough to be considered a Dead Head would be the answer.

I'm still here!!

Who was it that posted the Echoes solo? I'm sure it was one of you...anyways, I just listening to it and I really liked it. Good job!

I've always wanted to learn so many Pink Floyd songs, but I lose interest too fast in playing other artists songs....I'll learn them and play them a few times, then not play them again for like another few months and usually by that time I've forgetten most of it.

The other night we were jamming at my friends, and I couldn't even remember how the intro to In The Flesh? went. It mighta been because I was really stoned though, it took me like half an hour to remember it.

[QUOTE=DeusExMachina]I tried to get into the Dead, but I've come to the conclusion that Phish > The Dead.[/QUOTE]
Isn't Phish heavily influenced by The Dead?

They probably wouldn't be here if they hadn't..

Glad you liked it :thumb:

I'd say Phish was greatly influenced by the Dead.

Chances are that if you like Phish, the Grateful Dead are bound to grow on you


I never liked the Grateful Dead

I used to complain loudly whenever my parents played them

I never wanted to be a deadhead, but it just sort of sucked me in slowly, and there was nothing I could do about it. I think I am starting to come to terms with this reality

Anyways, is anyone else on an enormous Zappa kick lately? I think this stuff is actually getting me into jazz, something I thought would never happen (Sound familiar?)

[QUOTE]Shcyma(hates the, and likes them, I dont know if this counts)[/QUOTE]Well their early Psychedelic material is trash IMO but the Country Rock the made later on tops it's genre. [I]American Beauty[/I] ranks as one of my favorite albums. I do think that they're outragiously overrated within this thread though.....Then again people think I horribly overrate Syd Barrett so I'm not one to talk I guess. Grateful Dead are pretty hit or miss. [QUOTE]I like some Porcupine Tree everyonce in awhile, but they seem to be really hit and miss for me. The first track on Voyage 34: The Complete Trip is a masterpiece, but the rest never really grabbed my attention. That album also has a cool concept, it's about a guy who goes on 33 acid trips, then on the 34th he has a bad trip and he goes crazy (or something along those lines).[/QUOTE]I think it's about Brian Wilson and his trip that devestated him so bad he stopped writting music.

Am I the only one who thinks [I]Tommy[/I] had a really bad concept? :p

[I]Eat a Peach[/I] is simply one of the best albums I've ever heard. I like "Mountain Jam" more and more each time I hear it.

I have been downloading enormous amounts of Zappa lately. I seriously need to pick up one of his albums.

I have every Zappa album. I had a "Zappa kick" you could say. Listened to a bunch of Zappa.

Listen to his cover of Whippin' Post on "Does Humor Belong In Music".

It has some fantastic guitar work.

He was an awesome guitarist.

Tommy barely has a concept, it's really just a story (I know that's what you meant, just clarifying). I don't think the story is genius, but the music certainly is. For me a lot of times the story just serves as something else to bring the album together while the music makes it a great record.

On the other hand, Tommy can be viewed as having a huge amount of meanings/concepts/interpretations, as Townshend explained in his hundreds of interviews after it came out. While ultimately the story may have fallen short and never reached its full potential, there's no denying that Tommy was ambitious and took the Who to a completley different plane from other rock groups at the time.

Indeed, very original. Nobody sounds like him. He was amazing for his time. One of my main influences/favorite guitar players.

yep, its great. steve vai is playing there too, i think.

The new Paul McCartney album is pretty disappointing :-\

I really like "Fine Line", and "Friends To Go" is good, but most of what I've heard so far seems pretty bland.

That reminds me, I still haven't listened to Prairie Wind in it's entirety. The one time I tried to I fell asleep and woke up like 4 times during it.

[QUOTE=Med57]The new McCartney album is OK...definitely his best for a while, but no more than a 3/5. I think Nigel Godrich producing it probably helped quite a bit, as I haven't really liked any of McCartney's recent solo stuff, but his latest album is something that I can see myself returning to if I'm in the mood for something like that.[/QUOTE]

I've heard a fair bit about the new McCartney album, but not enough of it is positive for me to want to check it out.

I got both this monday, and I have to say, after listening to the first two tracks of each album, that Prarie Wind is superior. Maybe I'll get around to the third track to one of them, but I stopped after the 2nd track in Caos and Creation because it was a bit boring, and I can't get past No Wonder on Prarie Wind because it is so good

Hopefully soon I will have a more educated opinion

If these forums have taught me anything, it's how to listen to an album for the first time, some people can't even listn to an album the whole way through, or think of music as more than a collection of songs. I guess you could tell alot about people's way of looking at music by their mp3 players. If they go straight to the "All Tracks" or "Playlists" and never "Albums", I guess you could say that they are the hit single type

I still need to pick up Prairie Wind. Maybe I'll get it for my birthday.
