BlackDeathMetalJazz or really ANYTHING else please- 12-28-2005 06:23 PM

That's a pretty funny story, thick. :lol:

My record is a week of toking any chance I had, used a quarter pound in a little more than a week. Good times....although pretty damn pathetic. I also went on 5 trips in 5 days which was pretty damn mind blowing at the time.

I don't like the Byrds but that song's incredible.

I have decided that The Only Living Boy In New York is my new favorite Simon & Garfunkel song.

thickasabrick 12-28-2005 08:08 PM

It's been a few weeks since I've listened to Simon and Garfunkel. I only have their Greatest Hits album on vinyl, it has all my favourite songs by them...but I get bored of listening to the same album every time. I should buy one of their albums, what's a good one?

I thought I had asked this already today, but apparently not (the post must not have went through)....does anyone here prefer Rubber Soul over Revolver? I've been listening to both albums a lot lately, so I'm just curious album everyone's opinions on those albums.

And what's the name of that Byrds song that everyone says is so good?

BlackDeathMetalJazz or really ANYTHING else please- 12-28-2005 08:18 PM

I used to not care for [I]Rubber Soul [/I]but I recently discovered it in a big way. [I]Rubber Soul [/I]has a few weak songs and[I] Revolver [/I]is flawless.

"Wasn't Born To Follow" is the Country/Psychedelic song by the Byrds we were talking about.

[QUOTE=EightMilesHigh]I have decided that The Only Living Boy In New York is my new favorite Simon & Garfunkel song.[/QUOTE]

You stole my favorite song:eek:

I agree with you, that's such an amazing and relaxing song. Beautiful singing.

Anyone else think Simon and Garfunkel are great driving music. I wouldn't usually think of them as good driving music, but for some reason I find myself putting them on a lot while I'm in the car. Odd.

I probably like Rubber Soul a little more just because it was the first Beatles album I bought and has special significance. Both are amazing though.

Broken Arrow 12-28-2005 08:25 PM

Lately I must say [B]Rubber Soul[/B] has been more appealing, the only thing I don't like is "What Goes On". It's the "YellowSubmarine" of [I]Ruber Soul[/I] for me.

Ironically Ringo sings both. :lol:

BlackDeathMetalJazz or really ANYTHING else please- 12-28-2005 08:36 PM

What is so damn bad about "Yellow Submarine"? Ringo sings it very nice and has a nice simple guitar part and has some nice effects to it. It just proves how the Beatles could turn a simple song into a good catchy tune. I don't see how anyone could hate such a pleasent tune.

Broken Arrow 12-28-2005 08:41 PM

I never said it was so dam[I]n[/I] bad. I jjust don't care for it. Maybe the teachers in public school wrecked it for me.

robo2448 12-28-2005 08:46 PM

There's nothing bad about Yellow Submarine but there's nothing really good about it either. I like it, it's a nice pleasant singalong but I can see how people wouldn't care for it. Both albums are nearly perfect.

Speaking of nearly perfect albums, I haven't been able to stop listening to CSNY- Deja Vu since I got it for Christmas. It's unbelievably awesome.

BlackDeathMetalJazz or really ANYTHING else please- 12-28-2005 08:46 PM

Illmatic always complains about it when [I]Revolver[/I] is brought up so I just thought "Yellow Submarine" is starting to a bad rep. I appologize if I exaggerated a little.

What's everyone's favorite radio station on San Andreas? The Classic Rock one sucks.....Master Sounds is where it's at.

Broken Arrow 12-28-2005 08:47 PM

I've only played it once at a friends.

BlackDeathMetalJazz or really ANYTHING else please- 12-28-2005 08:55 PM

CSNY are really wierd with me. Like I like the band I just have a really hard time getting into the songs but I consider myself to be a fan.

Bus 12-28-2005 09:00 PM

I really like the folky feel to Rubber Soul, but overall I think Revolver is near perfect (with the exception of Yellow Submarine).

Broken Arrow 12-28-2005 09:05 PM

Speaking of CSNY, today I was organizing my record collection and broke the case for [I]Deja Vu[/I]. I got a new case for it so now it looks brand new.

I spent the better half of the day cleaning my room due to stacks of albums laying everywhere.

[QUOTE=Schyma]CSNY are really wierd with me. Like I like the band I just have a really hard time getting into the songs but I consider myself to be a fan.[/QUOTE]

So since you like the band, but not as much the songs, would you say that you are more of a fan of the solo careers/ other bands of the members? I'm more of a fan of Neil Young than CSNY. It's pretty easy to tell who wrote the songs sometimes too.

BlackDeathMetalJazz or really ANYTHING else please- 12-28-2005 09:14 PM

No, it's like I like [I]So Far[/I] but I can't listen to it all the way through and yes, I like Neil Young way more than CSNY.

Broken Arrow 12-28-2005 09:16 PM

I too, obviously like Neil Young way more than CSNY, but I stil love them.

Against Miik! 12-28-2005 09:16 PM

So the other day, Rage Against the Machine was played on my local classic rock station. Anybody wanna join me in a wtf?

TheDMV 12-28-2005 09:20 PM

[QUOTE=Schyma]No, it's like I like [I]So Far[/I] but I can't listen to it all the way through and yes, I like Neil Young way more than CSNY.[/QUOTE]

I can rarely ever listen to an album all the way through, unles it's brand new and an absolute classic. I can almost go through [I]Deja Vu[/I] but sometimes the last few bore me. During a car ride although, I find that it's easier to listen to albums more. [I]Great Gig in the Sky [/I]never sounded better than on the way to a Navy football game.

Right here man. What the HELL are they doing playing hard rock music from the 90's??

BlackDeathMetalJazz or really ANYTHING else please- 12-28-2005 09:39 PM

That's all I do is listen to albums all the way through. I think every song on an album needs to be given a chance, not just the ones you think are good.

zabbit82 12-28-2005 09:47 PM

[QUOTE=Schyma]That's all I do is listen to albums all the way through. I think every song on an album needs to be given a chance, not just the ones you think are good.[/QUOTE]

Agreed. In fact, I find that the unpopular songs are sometimes the best ones. I listened to my new Derek and the Dominoes CD all the way through today, and liked alot of new stuff I never heard.

Glitterati 12-28-2005 09:52 PM

[QUOTE=miik]So the other day, Rage Against the Machine was played on my local classic rock station. Anybody wanna join me in a wtf?[/QUOTE]

Mine sometimes plays Billy Idol. Wtf indeed.

Though RATM are seriously awesome.

blue3 12-28-2005 09:58 PM

I don't listen much to the radio so I wouldn't know what they played. I like RATM.. Billy Idol too.

zabbit82 12-28-2005 10:01 PM

Radio over plays everything. Thats all my younger brother listens too, the Top 40 pop radio. Music killers, I swear.

Against Miik! 12-28-2005 10:10 PM

Yeah its not a problem, playing RATM, but on a classic rock station?! I reitterate...wtf.

You don't become a classic rock band once you released and album 25 years ago. Classic rock is and always will be the music that came out of the 60s and 70s.

np: Jeff Buckley- Lover You Should've Come Over

Seafroggys 12-28-2005 10:21 PM

so is it safe to assume that classic rock is a time period, not an age?

zabbit82 12-28-2005 10:24 PM

It's a genre of music. The 60's and 70's wasn't all classic rock. Dont forget stuff like disco and funk.

BlackDeathMetalJazz or really ANYTHING else please- 12-28-2005 10:48 PM

I've given this explanation many times but I'll do it again...

Classic Rock is a classification of Rock that took place in the late 60's and early 70's. It is not a genre but rather a [B]classification[/B].

jpj 12-28-2005 10:57 PM

Basically it's an era of rock music.
