[QUOTE=Med57]I absolutely love Kraftwerk...[i]Autobahn[/i] is one of my favourite albums of all time, and [i]The Man-Machine[/i] and [i]Trans-Europe Express[/i] are brilliant too. Apparently they're surprisingly good live as well...I know people who've been to see them, and they say that they're great. If you like Kraftwerk and haven't done already, you should check out some Krautrock stuff (Can, Neu!, and bands like that.) I find some of Kraftwerk's music to be quite psychedelic in an odd way.[/QUOTE]

My favourite by them is autobahn they also led me onto tribal tech.

You see, I tried this and I couldn't get into any other "Krautrock" bands. I especially don't see what is so great about Can, but maybe it's just me.

Thanks for the Mr. Bungle JonG. :)[QUOTE]Mr. Spaceman is the best Byrds song..[/QUOTE]Good song but the best? No way. Even though Bob Dylan did write it "You Ain't Goin' Nowhere" is easily the best out of everything I've heard. "Wasn't Born To Follow" is a really close 2nd. Has anyone else heard it? It's like a mix of Psychedelia and Country. [QUOTE]Who else nominated Bob Dylan?[/QUOTE]I was about to but I didn't want to put him in the same league vocaly as Brian Wilson, John Lennon, Jim Morrison...etc

My List
------------------------------
Greg Allman (Allman Brothers)
Levon Helm (The Band)
Paul McCartney (The Beatles)
John Lennon (The Beatles)
Jim Morrison (The Doors)
Glenn Danzig (Danzig)
Jerry Garcia (Grateful Dead)
Dorothy Moskowitz (United States of America)
Brian Wilson (Beach Boys)
Colin Blunstone (The Zombies)
Arthur Lee (Love)
Don Van Vliet (Captain Beefheart)
Bob Marley (Bob Marley)
David Crosby (CSN)
Stephen Stills (CSN)
George Harrison (The Beatles)

Does anyone else think Levon Helm is [I]extremly[/I] underrated?[QUOTE]You guys ever heard Kraftwerk, man I love them.[/QUOTE]I've read several great reveiws and a fantastic FA that Med wrote. I'm not too hot for techno but...I'm very interested in hearing [I]Autobahn[/I] considering it's great reputation. [QUOTE]i tried to nominate some soul singers too but i believe they were discounted. whatever. ignore some of the greatest vocalists of all time. as long as it means that green day doesnt get in.[/QUOTE]It's really a shame....

Has anyone read Robert Crumb's great FG on Soul in Other Music?

[QUOTE=Walrus Gumboot]I sent out Bjork's Medulla, tell me what you think[/QUOTE]

I like Bajork.

[QUOTE=NightHorse]You guys ever heard Kraftwerk, man I love them.[/QUOTE]

I'm getting into them. I'm slowly getting into good techno.

Yeah, Mr. Spaceman and You Ain't Going Nowhere are my two favorite Byrds songs. It was a hard choice.

Uncle Tupelo's version of Sin City isn't nothin' compared to the Burrito's version.

:)

Still good album, a little punky, but still good.

[QUOTE]Even though Bob Dylan did write it "You Ain't Goin' Nowhere" is easily the best out of everything I've heard.[/QUOTE]

This is true.

[QUOTE]Uncle Tupelo's version of Sin City isn't nothin' compared to the Burrito's version.

I'm guessing you got the album then. I love that album, there's a bunch of great songs of it: "Graveyard Shift", "No Depression", "Train", "Screendoor", "That Year", "Life Worth Livin'", etc.

Yeah, I jumped to Sin City, wondering if it was a cover.

I'm going to listen to the entire thing pretty soon though.

Man. I am obsessed with Yes. Close to the Edge is just too good. Any other Yes heads.

[QUOTE]Does anyone else think Levon Helm is extremly underrated?[/QUOTE]
I prefer Richard Manuel's voice to Levon Helm's, but they're both great. I nominated them and Rick Danko.

[QUOTE]Man. I am obsessed with Yes. Close to the Edge is just too good. Any other Yes heads.[/QUOTE]
I love Yes, Close to the Edge is a masterpiece.

I haven't done my vocal nominations yet. I need to go do those. I like Yes but I go through phases with them. Sometimes I think they are amazing and then sometimes I find them boring. Depends on my mood. Usually I really enjoy them though.

[QUOTE=jpj]

Yeah I picked up Yessongs, Relayer, and Going For The One, last week...which completes my Yes collection.

[QUOTE=RockISdead420]Man. I am obsessed with Yes. Close to the Edge is just too good. Any other Yes heads.[/QUOTE]

I'm really getting into Yes. I'm on a total prog kick lately.

You should check out their album Going For The One...one of my favs from them right now. a bit different but just as good.

My nominees:

1. Paul McCartney (The Beatles, Wings, etc.)
2. Freddie Mercury (Queen)
3. Gregg Allman (Allman Brothers Band)
4. Chris Cornell (Soungarden)
5. David Bowie
6. Jack Bruce (Cream)
7. Roger Daltrey (The Who)
8. Rob Halford (Judas Priest)
9. John Fogerty (CCR)
10. Nick Cave (The Birthday Party, The Bad Seeds)
11. Carl Wilson (Beach Boys)
12. Bob Dylan
13. David Byrne (Talking Heads)
14. Mick Jagger (The Rolling Stones)
15. Neil Young
16. Iggy Pop
17. Damon Albarn (Blur)
18. Jarvis Cocker (Pulp)
19. Chuck Berry
20. Corey Glover (Living Colour)
21. Marc Bolan (T. Rex)
22. Roger Miller/Clint Conley (Mission of Burma)
23. Shane McGowan (The Pogues)
24. Kim Deal (Pixies)
25. Black Thought (The Roots)

I can't believe Zack De La Rocha is going to make it but Black Thought isn't :upset:

And when Yes comes up, I have the same response every time: They seem pretty mediocre to me.

np: Chuck Berry - Johnny B. Goode

[QUOTE]I prefer Richard Manuel's voice to Levon Helm's, but they're both great. I nominated them and Rick Danko.[/QUOTE]I just looked it up and yes, Richard Manuel was who I was actualy talking about. :upset:

Is Richard Manuel the drummer? I like his voice the best in The Band.

Didn't everyone except Robbie Robertson sing in The Band? I could never really tell them apart, but I haven't listened to a lot of The Band's material.

[QUOTE]Is Richard Manuel the drummer? I like his voice the best in The Band.[/QUOTE]He plays drums but apparently Levon Helm does too.

Robertson and Garth Hudson didn't sing. I can tell their voices apart. It took me a really long time though and the only reason I am able to do it now is that the linear notes for The Band's greatest hits cd tells who song each song.

Edit- Levon Helm was The Band's drummer. Richard Manuel played piano. But Manuel could also play drums, and on some songs like When I Paint My Masterpiece Levon Helm plays mandolin so Richard has to take over on drums.

Anyone think I should include Ringo in my vocalist nominations?

[QUOTE=Schyma]He plays drums but apparently Levon Helm does too.[/QUOTE]


My dad said that he played guitar and drums at the same time. I guess he met him once upon a time

[QUOTE=robo]Anyone think I should include Ringo in my vocalist nominations?[/QUOTE]

He wasn't really anything special as a singer.

Whoever drummed and sang on The Weight is the singer I like.

[QUOTE=JonG]Whoever drummed and sang on The Weight is the singer I like.[/QUOTE]

For the weight, Levon Helm sang the first 3 verses and drummed. Rich Danko sang the fourth verse. The linear notes for The Band's greatest hits are like a fu[COLOR="Black"]cking[/COLOR] biography. I love them they're so detailed. Probably the best linear notes out of any cd I have.

[QUOTE=JonG]Whoever drummed and sang on The Weight is the singer I like.[/QUOTE]
That's Levon Helm.

Oh....so I am right? The one I'm talking about sings the first few lines in "The Weight" too. Moon's reveiw says Manuel sang it.....oh god......:confused:

I admitted that I knew nothing of the musicians on that album or of the band.

I don't. I only know Robbie.

I need to watch The Last Waltz again. I got it sometime ago and loved it(it got me into The Band).

np: Mr. Spaceman :)

This song reminds me of the second part in "A Day In The Life"

Schyma: If you still have that article talking about Led Zeppelin's many thefts, could you link me to it?

[url]http://www.furious.com/perfect/jimmypage.html[/url]
Would that be it?

Edit: I just figured out that your User Title is from "Rosa Parks', I knew I knew the song but the only thing I could think of is Deep Purple's "Hush".

That's the article. I found it very interesting. And it furthered my lack of respect for Led Zeppelin.
