Because you're in the Classic Rock thread, of course we all like vinyl. Those were the good old days.

Edit: Does anyone have Close to the Edge or Tales From Topographic Oceans? I'd really like to hear those albums.

My dad loves vinyl records, he has a whole collection. We can't listen to them as often as we'd like because my mom doesn't let my dad play them. Hopefully my dad will leave me his records and record player in his will. :smash:

Does anyone else kind of think that you can appreciate the music more on vinyl, like song-for-song? With a cd, if you don't like a song right away, you can just push a button for a new one on the cd, but with vinyl, it is a little more work to lift the needle and stuff, so you kind of trick yourself into just giving the song a chance.

I think the reason MMT is considered stronger is the fact that is mostly made up of tracks that were singles, and the Beatles are pretty known for always realeasing pretty awesome singles, I say. BTW, I am pretty big on the Beatles, but I have yet to hear the Inner Light, and Old Brown Shoe, since they were only on singles, does someone have these?

Speaking of viynl I just listened to-

Canned Heat-[I]Live at the Topanga Corral[/I]
Ry Cooder-[I]Crossroads Sountrack[/I]
Spirit-[I]Clear[/I]

I also got out [I]Autobahn[/I] by Kraftwerk, [I]Exodus[/I] by Bob Marley, and [I]A Space in Time[/I] by Ten Years After to listen to later tonight or tomorrow.

Ill do Close To The Edge, can someone give me the list of emails for the mailing list? i lost it

[QUOTE=n00bguitarist]I've never given Cream a listen yet. Maybe I should do so soon.[/QUOTE]
I hadn't either till someone recently sent out Wheels Of Fire. It's pretty good, but a little disappointing after hearing all this hype about Cream. It'll probably grow on me though. It's funny, I just started listening to music really about a year ago, when I first heard Dark Side Of The Moon, and though I've started listening to a lot of CR bands since then, Pink Floyd is still what I listen to most :lol: I guess your first love is your longest love :) But Led Zeppelin and the Grateful Dead are filling bigger portions now that I own a significant amount of material from both.

np: Dark Star (live) - Grateful Dead ( :smoke: ) (not really)

I usually do that on vinyl, because you get a chance to listen to songs you wouldnt normaly hear all the time. Those songs can in fact be the better ones of choice sometimes. I do the same thing with CD's, I'm to lazy to change the song sometimes anyway...

I thought that Old Brown Shoe was released on Hey Jude. At least on vinyl...

I've recently discovered an underground pyschadelic/classic rock band from the 60's when I was looking through my dad's old record collection. The West Coast Pop Art Experimental Band is their name and I think they're fantastic. Does anyone else listen to them? My favorite album is Volume 2.

Luch listens/tries to listen top them, I think.

Well, it depends on when they were made. If they were originally recorded digitally, it will sound just as good as original vinyl. All of the classic music has been remastered onto cds and some sound quality has been lost.

So new music sounds good on cds because it didn't go through remastering.

I have Part 1. Some songs are pretty good, others are nearly unbearable. I definitely thought they had potential to make some very good music and would be interested in hearing Volume 2 or Volume 3.

Any chance you could upload that?

[url]http://www.recordnerd.com/lists/lunch998[/url]
Anyone want anything in the near future?

Sure, I could upload it, but I'm not sure how to upload a full album. So if you could tell me... yeah. I'll upload it tomorrow.

[QUOTE=Lunch][url]http://www.recordnerd.com/lists/lunch998[/url]

Jeez... you already have alot of what I have/want.

I'd like some Grateful Dead sometime. If you uploaded that I guess it would be cool. Whichever one is their best album...

[QUOTE=Med57]I seem to be the only person around here that completely disagrees with how good CDs sound compared to vinyl. :-\[/QUOTE]
I think they sound the same. I have a bias against Vinyl's as you can't really take them anywhere and they are basically useless outside of your house or friends house.
[QUOTE=Krabsworth]Does anyone else think that Magical Mystery Tour is a far more solid psychedellic album than Sgt. Pepper's?[/QUOTE]
Wow, I was surprised everyone basically agreed that Sgt. Peppers is overrated, mediocre etc, etc...
But I disagree! Be it because Sgt. Peppers is the only album I can remember the first time I listened to it like it was yesterday or be it because it isn't overrated, and is their greatest effort (Back away Abbey Road fans, as with you Rubber Soul-eys!) and not to single you out Med or pick on you, but I still don't understand how people (On this board) think that Sgt. Peppers is overrated but turn around and call "A Day In The Life" their best song (Again not at you, Med or anyone directly that I can think of) I think its their best work because it is an excellent album from start to finish, the only weak track being "With A Little Help From My Friends" which is still great but compared to the rest of the album weak. The whole albums song writing is the Beatles at their best, the creativity of the Beatles is at its peak, the album never stops grabbing your attention you might drift off for a minute or two during "With A Little Help from My Friends" until "Lucy In the Sky with Diamonds" comes on and immediately grabs you right back. This is not an overrated record; an overrated record is one that has 6 great songs and 7 half decent ones. This album has 11 great songs and 2 decent ones.
Sgt. Peppers is the album were the Beatles came out of the closet... so to speak. They stopped holding back their creativity and let it all shine down. Were in early albums they ventured into their creativity or just dipped in, Sgt. Peppers shows how deep they could get, how unique they could sound. No album sounds even similar to Sgt. Peppers were as Rubber Soul and Revolver have some followers ([I]Odyssey and Oracle[/I], [I]Village Green Preservation Society[/I] come to mind.) no one could manipulate Sgt. Peppers at all no one could write something so poppy sounding yet so distinct and original. Or while MMT has, what, like 9 possible singles it doesn't flow it sounds just like 9 singles put on one disc with 2(?) odd balls thrown in here and there.

Thats all I got for now. :)

[QUOTE=zabbit82]BTW, next time you're online in the next few days, can I get the new Nine Inch Nails album from you? Thanks either way.[/QUOTE]
Sure, I'll get on now. You need to take Jane's Addiction from me. You'd like them... I think!

[QUOTE=Jacaranda]No one could manipulate Sgt. Peppers at all no one could write something so poppy sounding yet so distinct and original.[/QUOTE]

Agreed, that album is one of a kind. I remember reading in the notes in the CD's cover packet that the band insisted that everything in the record sounded different. The recording, the sounds, the concepts, everything. That may be why its among one of the best albums ever, but then again the Beatles were a phenominon that will prolly never happen again.

I recently took a listen to this album, but I think it is a bit overrated. Don't get me wrong, the album is very creative, maybe thier most creative, but the whole thing just sounds very different for me. I really like the last two songs on there, but the rest are alright. I personaly favor Revolver as my favorite, maybe even thier best (thanks for that album also!).

I heard a Janes Addiction song in a Hard Rock Cafe, I thought it was pretty good. The video had a dude dressing up as a chick, and I guess the band bombing around in a grocery store.

Been Caught Stealing!
I been caught stealing, once when I was 5!
Ya Perry Farrell (Singer), is defently one cool dude. I'm still upset with Med calling them a decent band. And then some guy had a user title of "Perr Farrell Annoys Me".:upset:

[QUOTE]Been Caught Stealing! [/QUOTE]

That's it! :)

Sorry Jac, but I also prefer MMT over Sgt. Peppers. It just appealed to me more the first time I listened to it, in comparison to the first time I listened to Sgt. Peppers. BTW The Fool on the Hill is quickly becoming my favourite McCartney song.

Goddam[B]n[/B] I spend a lot at this one band t-shirt store. I just barely bought a new Beatles shirt there, and today I bought a new Doors shirt. It's awesome, I'll try to find a picture of it.

meh Abbey Road is still better

Awesome, I found it.

I like that "Busted By The Man" one :lol:

Haha yeah I always enjoy reading the back of that one.

The thing I liked most about the one I got is that it doesn't have just Morrison on it. I think most people don't even know what the other band members look like.

lunch, ive got to nab the ox anthology and mr. fantasy from you. ive got some stuff from your needed list.

ive been li stening to a lot of allman brothers again. damn last.fm. erasing almost 200 tracks. how will it be representative of what i listen to now!

statesboro blues
hoochie coochie man

Thanks man. I probably will buy some of their albums if I like these songs. I always seem to end up seeing albums by bands I'm getting into for really cheap. Happened with Yes and Jeff Buckley.
