[QUOTE=Schyma]This isn't the final page.....

WE HAVE 10,000 MORE POSTS LEFT!!!!!![/QUOTE]
Listen to this man, I don't know how many times I've said it's 60,000 not 50,000. If this thread were ever to be closed, it's still a long time away, so stop talking about it.

Just out of curiosity I checked, and it took us 7 months to get 10,000 posts.

So, has anyone heard of a classic rock band called 'B-Bop Deluxe'. If so, are they any good. They're from a place not too far from me.

[QUOTE=RNR]pfft, n00b. I have 283 :cool:



What Roy Orbison albums would you suggest that I listen to?[/QUOTE]

I only have a greatest hits. And it's not even mine, it's actually my dad's :lol:

Schyma repped me and now I'm up to 223. I'm catching up :cool:

np: Harvest Moon. Such a beautiful song, hense the user title

thickasabrick 11-11-2005 01:25 PM

So get this....my guitar teacher (who is also sorta like my boss) has a lot of connections to various musicians around the world (mostly in Canada, US and England), he's brought in a lot of cool musicians/songwriters to do demo's/workshops and that sorta stuff. The least famous, yet the coolest was when I got to spend four hours with the man who won the "Best Acoustic Fingerpicking" competition in North America last year, he was amazing (he played a few Beatles songs, bass, rhythm guitar, lead guitar, and vocal lines...all at the same time!!! It was nuts!!!)

So tomorrow he is bringing in a songwriter from Montreal (far ways away!), and I'm invited to attend his workshop. Ray (my guitar teacher) calls me today, and tells me that the songwriter is staying at a hotel downtown, and doesn't have transportation to reach our music school (plus, he doesn't speak English very well, and doesn't know the city at all)...so Ray asked me if I could pick him up. I said yes. Now, I've gotta figure out what kind of music I'm going to have playing in my car as I "escort" him around the city. You don't think he would react too negatively to Dylan and the Dead would you? I'm not really like stressed out or worried about this, I just figure it would make for some interesting conversation. What would you guys choose to have playing in your car, in my situation? Something that would maybe spark an interesting conversation between me and him, or at least show him I know a good songwriter when I hear one.

np: Bob Dylan - You're Gonna Make Me Lonesome When You Go.

magicbus 11-11-2005 02:03 PM

What kind of music does this one play?

NP: Jimi Hendrix - Voodoo Chile

jpj 11-11-2005 02:15 PM

You can't go wrong with Dylan, but Dylan and the Dead is kind of... bad. Well, actually I've only heard two songs from it, but Dylan's voice was [i]so[/i] terrible I just couldn't take it...

So, how'd everyone vote in the first vocalist comp? I voted for Joplin, because Lennon and Mercury would make it through fine.

jpj 11-11-2005 02:24 PM

I don't understand why everyone says Dylan's voice is bad on it...I mean come on, it's [I]Bob Dylan[/I]. People act like they were expecting Roger Daltrey. His voice sounds no worse than it usually does.

nisakss 11-11-2005 02:32 PM

Would you consider U2 as classic rock?

Glitterati 11-11-2005 02:33 PM

I would. I'm actually getting back into U2 :eek:

I was just expecting Bob Dylan to sound like Bob Dylan, on All Along the Watchtower he sounds [i]nothing[/i] like himself.

robo2448 11-11-2005 02:37 PM

I like Dylan's voice on Dylan and the Dead. Don't know why.

I don't think U2 is considered classic rock but I like them a lot. Good band, their kind of right on the classic rock border.

I voted Lennon because I'm not sold that he's definitely going through. He's also my favorite singer in the poll, so I would have voted for him regardless. I know Mercury has an amazing voice and blows Lennon away technically, I just like Lennon's style better.

np- Traffic- Every Mother's Son

JonG 11-11-2005 05:24 PM

Schyma, did you get Live at Fillmore East?

I've been listening to a lot of T-Bone and Minutemen lately.

Walrus Gumboot 11-11-2005 05:31 PM

I really like Freddie the best, but I wanted to pull Lennon through

No that I have access to a scanner I should scan the picture of a picture I have of Lennon in a dress and Yoko in a Civil War uniform
It was in some antique store

BlackDeathMetalJazz or really ANYTHING else please- 11-11-2005 05:42 PM

[QUOTE]Schyma, did you get Live at Fillmore East?[/QUOTE]Yea, I'm trying to download it as I type. Thanks a ton man.

PinkFreud 11-11-2005 06:07 PM

i li ke dylan and the dead too. knockin' on heavens door is great.

i voted joplin. mercury will get through. she wont, but should.

JonG 11-11-2005 06:11 PM

I voted Lennon, because I know Mercury is gonna win.

Just downloaded some albums:

Buddy Guy and Junior Wells - Alone & Acoustic
Buddy Guy and Junior Wells - Drinkin TNT and Smokin Dynamite
Miles Davis - Kind of Blue
Nick Drake - Five Leaves Left

I'm in the process of getting Traveling Wilburys Vol.1 and 3.

Broken Arrow 11-11-2005 06:13 PM

I like Dylan and the Dead too.

[I]Live at the Fillmore East[/I]
[I]The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan[/I]
[I]Bringing it all Back Home[/I]

JonG 11-11-2005 06:14 PM

Bringing It All Back Home is easily one of my favorites. It has so many of my favorite tracks on it.

:)

Fillmore East and Freewheelin' are good also.

np: Buddy Guy and Junior Wells - Checking On My Baby

BTW, Livewired, have you heard of Time Fades Away? Do you have it?

Broken Arrow 11-11-2005 06:38 PM

Neil Young
Everybody Know This is Nowhere
After the Goldrush
Harvest
On the Beach

Tongiht's the Night
Comes a Time
Rust Never Sleeps

Alone and Acoustic is awesome. Junior Wells is a great harmonica player. Don't have Drinkin' TNT and Smokin' Dynamite. Is it good?

Kind of Blue and Five Leaves Left are really good too. Traveling Wilburies Vol. 1 is amazing, and 3 is pretty good but has no Orbison and isn't as fun to listen to as Vol. 1. Not nearly as good, but still a solid album.

Albums I've listened to today
Bruce Springsteen- The Rising
Supertramp- Classics Vol. 9 (Not a Supertramp fan. Kind of bore me).
John Mayell's Bluesbreakers with Eric Clapton

Glitterati 11-11-2005 08:45 PM

I was listening to Kid A by Radiohead today as I sat on my arse playing X-Box.

Krabsworth 11-11-2005 08:46 PM

Cool, what kind?

Earlier tonight, my freind and I went through my freind's old record collection. We found some good stuff, Neil Young, Bob Dylan, and CSNY. We also found The Easy Rider soundtrack.
