Woodstock 11-12-2005 03:00 PM

I taped Paul McCartney in St. Petersburg yesterday. I should watch it tonight.

And so far it looks like Moondance will take the win for the best Van Morrison album. I'll check it out.

[QUOTE=robo2448]Woah that's wierd. Identical posts by TheDMV separated by a double post by Med in the middle. Never seen anything like that before.

On the Beach is so awesome. I think my favorite song from that is Vampire Blues.

np- Ambulance Blues[/QUOTE]

[I]On The Beach[/I] is so good. It's probably the best consistently good album I've bought in a while. Every song is great. My favorite is probably "On The Beach".

I wouldn't be surprised if he didn't make it through the first round. Not a lot of Aerosmith love on mx, I don't really care though.

I saw part of the Paul McCartney thing last night, but I didn't feel like watching it.

As far as Van Morrison goes, Tupelo Honey > Moondance, but the song Moondance > everything else he's ever done.

Since it's Neil Young's birthday it's only right to listen to his best album.

NP: Neil Young-Cinnamon Girl

I realized it wasn't the Paul McCartney in Red Square show that I thought it was, (Moscow, duh!), but I'm still glad to have it.

NP: George Harrison - Ballad of Sir Frankie Crisp

Sometimes I think there are no words, but these to tell whats true: Goddam Gates of Eden is an amazing song.

magicbus 11-12-2005 04:26 PM

I still haven't heard his new one. How is it?

Ephemeral 11-12-2005 04:31 PM

[QUOTE=magicbus]I still haven't heard his new one. How is it?[/QUOTE]
Paul McCartney's?

First listen though, wasn't really anything special. It was alright, but not as good as I thought it would be.

The next day, I just started thinking about it, stuck it back in and listened again, it was absolute magic to my ears. In my opinion better than any of his other records. It turned out, when I had finished it, it was way better than what I thought it would be. Neat thing is, he did all of the instruments on it exept for a few wood winds.

It's up there now with my favorite albums of all time.

I suppose I should review it on Sputnik. Another time.

EDIT: Er, wait. Are you talking about Neil Young's new one?

I heard it was really poor.

robo2448 11-12-2005 04:46 PM

I think McCartney's is supposed to be pretty good, better than his recent output but not great. Neil's is great.

Neil marathons own. I can't decide if I like On the Beach or After the Goldrush more. My only complaint is that they're a little too short.

After the Goldrush does have some filler, but it's the first Neil album I bought and got me into Neil. On the Beach is just awesome.

Ephemeral 11-12-2005 04:49 PM

Neil Young's music is really close to my heart, becuase back in the day when I was in like preschool, I remember Harvest Moon always coming on the radio. The only moments I remember from way back then are the ones where I was listening to that song and eating fruit snacks. God I love that song.

Krabsworth 11-12-2005 04:54 PM

I don't like Neil Young at all.

skynyrd73 11-12-2005 05:06 PM

Badmoon 11-12-2005 06:26 PM

no.

magicbus 11-12-2005 06:26 PM

I'm not a big fan of the Byrds, although some of their songs are pretty catchy.

I'm listening to The Madcap Laughs right now (thanks to whomever uploaded it). I'm only on the first song, which I've seen played by Gilmour on his dvd, so I haven't gotten a real first impression yet. I'll listen to the rest and see how it goes.

BlackDeathMetalJazz or really ANYTHING else please- 11-12-2005 06:40 PM

[QUOTE=Badmoon]no.[/QUOTE]
Is that all you have to say? :p

Their best songs and all of their hits that got them big are mostly all covers. [I]Fifth Dimension[/I] is extremly sub par with only very few songs worth lisining to, [I]Sweetheart of the Rodeo[/I] gets weaker (IMO) with every listin and [I]Notorious Byrd Brothers[/I] is just well....bad. ("Wasn't Born To Follow" is incredible tough)

I'm really suprised you didn't mention the Nity Grity Dirt Band in your FG a long time ago, they did alot for Country Rock.

Do you have any Tony Rice?

thickasabrick 11-12-2005 06:43 PM

I've got this one magazine from a few years ago...I was leafing through it yesterday (I found it as I was cleaning out my closet) and this there was an interview with this songwriter (forget the name, I hadn't heard of him) and he said that the Byrds were the greatest american band of all time. I was like....uh....okay....

I like the Byrds, but I could name dozens of bands that are better than them.

BlackDeathMetalJazz or really ANYTHING else please- 11-12-2005 06:54 PM

It's better than Aerosmith.

jpj 11-12-2005 08:58 PM

I'm listening to Electric Ladyland right now, and I realized that even though I've had it for almost a year I never really gave it a good listen. I think it may be one of my favorite albums.

*revelation*



Early Aerosmith > The Byrds

Sweetheart of the Rodeo is great, yep yep.

Jacaranda 11-12-2005 09:00 PM

Uncle Salty > Most Byrds songs minus Hey Joe.

The Byrds sorta bore me...

robo2448 11-12-2005 09:06 PM

Electric Ladyland is amazing. My favorite Hendrix studio album.

Don't really see what The Byrds and Aerosmith have in common except their both pretty overrated. As for Aerosmith, Toys in the Attic is good but I haven't heard any of their other stuff and don't really have any desire to.

I enjoy the Byrds a lot. Fun to listen to. Not one of my favorite bands but a very good band nonetheless. 5th Dimension is a good album.

np- Pink Floyd- Keep Talking (awesome solo)

magicbus 11-12-2005 09:20 PM

Ok, so I did a recording of "Something", just the guitar parts. I played two rhythm tracks (one through a leslie speaker and one as an acoustic, using my pedal to make them sound like this), a track for the lead guitar, and a fourth track for some high chords strums that start around 1:17.

It's mixed kinda bad in some spots (buzzing), and in parts the timing can be a little off, so bear with me on those points.

Here it is:

Enjoy :thumb:

DeusExMachina 11-12-2005 09:20 PM

I used to hate Electric Ladyland. I still prefer Axis, but EL is definitely catching up.

I'm starting to really get into Bowie more. I'm listening to Diamond Dogs right now, and really digging it.

BlackDeathMetalJazz or really ANYTHING else please- 11-12-2005 09:21 PM

Aerosmith are horrible and should never be used in the same sentence as the Byrds! :mad:

[I]Electric Ladyland[/I] is incredible.

Does anyone feel like uploading [I]Bringing It All Back Home[/I] for me? I'm finally at a fast computer.

magicbus 11-12-2005 09:22 PM

I haven't listened to [I]Electric Ladyland[/I] as much as I should've, but I will more. I really like "Voodoo Chile".

As for Diamond Dogs, I've never listened to that. I need to find another Bowie album on par with [I]Ziggy Stardust[/I].
