Operator is my favorite song off American Beauty. I usually skip the first 4 tracks because I've heard them so many times they wear me out. Ripple is probably my 2nd fav.

Albums I downloaded off one person tonight:

Blind Willie McTell - Atlanta Twelve String
Bobby Blue Band - Two Steps From The Blues
Booker T. & The MG's - Green Onions
Can - Tago Mago
Carl Perkins - Original Sun Greatest Hits
Roy Buchanan - s/t
Son House - The Original Delta Blues
Toots and the Maytals - Funky Kingston
Velvet Underground - The Legendary Guitar Amp Tapes

:)

I really like Operator as well. I usually listen to the first 4 songs, then skip the rest until Truckin'. I can't sit through Candyman (though a version of this from an '81 bootleg I really liked), Ripple, or Attics Of My Life. Till the Morning Comes is growing on me though.

I think Box of Rain is my overall favorite off of it.

:o

I love Ripple and Till The Morning Comes. Candyman is awesome too. Attics of my Life is probably my least favorite on the album.

bah. attics of my life is my favorite. the harmonizing is beautiful.

That's because you like Jeff Buckley :p

Did you see the video of him on Google Video?

This conversation made me want to American Beauty and now all the sudden I like Candyman and Ripple, and I can't believe I ever didn't like Till the Morning Comes. I still hate Brokedown Palace though.

I like all of [I]American Beauty[/I], I want to listen to it also but I'm busy. My favorite song is probably "Ripple".

The Metallica thread is full of dumb sh[I]it[/I]s.

i did actually. haha. of COURSE i did. seriously. best person ever.

[QUOTE=leppermessiah]Coheed and Cambria is alright, I thought of them more as a alternative/prog band though. They're definitely one of the more enjoyable newer bands.[/QUOTE]
I still dont like their old stuff to pop-punky for me. But their new materialis awesome musically, and the vocals have improved IMO.

Their newest album is the only one I've heard. My cousin literally forced me to listen to it.

Holy monkey nuts, Batman, this Coheed & Cambria song sounds like Nightwish or something :eek:

Definitely not what I was expecting. This is crazy awesome.

Numero 2?

their earlier stuff is pop-punky from what i hear.

[QUOTE=guitrguy]hahaha I know. I have welcome home on my myspace[/QUOTE]
Yea, that's the song I was listening to. I'm still in shock.

Hey Phallus, could you hook me up with that C&C?

[email]UTvol48@aol.com[/email]

Yeah that's definitely one of the better songs on the album.

Edit: I love the symphony touch in the background.

Ahhh, I want to go to bed, but I want to keep listening :(

That's always an aggravating situation haha.

NP: Johnny Cash - One

I don't like Coheed and the Cambria. The singer is almost as bad as Geddy Lee. My brother is a big fan of their newest album so I've heard a few songs from it but I just can't get past the vocals.

Yesterday was such a crap day. First, I lost my power at 2 in the morning. That means no heat when it's like 15 degrees outside. Which means I'm stuck lying in my bed with like 8 blankets on me. And then at 3:00 I had to go to a track meet where I pretty much sat around the whole time and didn't get home till after midnight so I couldn't do anything last night. I did listen to some pretty good albums at the track meet though:

Cream- Fresh Cream
The Beatles- Help
High Fidelity Soundtrack
Bob Dylan- Greatest Hits Vol. 3
And maybe another one or two I don't remember. It was a pretty crap day though.

[QUOTE=thickasabrick]I'm sure it wouldn't be too hard to figure out the basic principals of sitar playing if you fooled around with it and/or read up on it enough. I could sum up the basic principals of guitar playing in a few sentences.

I had the ultimate Classic Rock station, it was literally amazing. It had awesome programs like Classic Vinyl, which was an entire album they played every night at midnight without breaks...they had Psychedelic Snack and Psychedelic Sunday, which was Psychedelic music every lunch and Sunday morning. They also had cool Blues shows Sunday nights that played mostly rare Blues from the 30's up until now but also popular blues, and it always had this funny Rastafarian weather reporter that would (fakely) give the weather report as he was driving down Main Street and toking up...he'd always end his report by saying "Not too many cops out today, but I'd advise you to roll down your windows, just to be on the safe side."[/QUOTE]
That radio station sounds pretty jive turkey.

Does anyone here like Bluegrass? I know most of you are thinking "Oh god, country *vomits*", but the instrumental pieces of most any bluegrass song are amazing. Download "Foggy Mountain Breakdown" by Earl Scruggs, he's basically a pioneer banjo player, he invented the "three-finger-roll" plucking style. Just listen to the song.

I listen to some local bluegrass. Yonder Mountain could be considered bluegrass. There are a lot of local bands here that are awesome at bluegrass.

np: Toots & The Maytals - Pomp and Pride

[QUOTE=BigTrav415]I know most of you are thinking "Oh god, country *vomits*"[/QUOTE]

Trust me, I doubt anyone in here is thinking that.

I'd like to hear more actually, like Yonder Mountain (hint, hint).

I could send out some Yonder Mountain. First 'moon would have to send out Elevation.

Send me some too?

I know theres good country out there, I just need to find some (other than Cash)

[QUOTE=JonG]I'm back and I got a new guitar[/QUOTE]

Didn't you get a new guitar for your birthday?

I may be getting a Fender 100 watt amp soon though. :D

And my friend fixed my ds-1 so I'm getting that back tomorrow.

DS-1 + Ibanez Tube Screamer + CH-1 + Ibanez pickups + Fender 100 watt amp = Fu[size=2]cking[/size] sick tone. :)

No..

My birthday is in February.

Hey everyone, I'm new to the forums. I've kind of lurked in here for a little while today, and I read through some random pages just trying to get an idea of what you guys listen to and talk about. My favorite band is probably Pink Floyd, but I also love The Grateful Dead, The Beatles, Cream, Deep Purple, Bob Dylan, The Who, Led Zeppelin, and Yes. I find that bands like Guns N' Roses and AC/DC generally get on my nerves, they are good in moderation, especially AC/DC don't really seem to have any depth to them. I try to be open in my tastes though.

Bluegrass is good, I have a few songs on my computer. Earl Scruggs is a god on banjo. Right now I'm listening to Come Together - The Beatles. Anyone else love Abbey Road as much as I do? Something and I want You can be a little slow and drawn out, but I still love them. I think the Abbey Road Medley (You Never Give Me Your Money - The End/Your Majesty) is really cool.
