So far today I listened to Boston and Floyd.

Yesterday I listened to Motorhead, Mickey Hart, Sly & The Family Stone, MMW, ELP, some classical music, and some stuff I might be forgetting. All I've listened to today is Ulver.

If I had a last.fm it would look so weird.

Hmm I don't know if I can remember everything but I listened to a bunch of stuff yesterday. Lots Canned Heat, and some Doors, Traffic, Kinks, Velvet Underground, Richie Havens, Allman Brothers and Yes. But the only full album I listened to was Canned Heat. Right now I'm converting this MMW to iTunes because it's in WMA.

Edit- I think that Van Halen are classic rock though they could also be considered just hard rock or hair metal. But no I don't like them and I've never liked them. In fact, I kind of hate them. I have deep hatred for almost all hair metal (sorry spatoutplath).

Van Halen: Not classic rock and also not very good.
[QUOTE]1. What artist that you feel is the best example of classic rock?
2. What album do you think is the best example of classic rock?
3. Would you consider the Keyboards a typical instrument for classic rock?
4. Are the following bands classic rock: Guns N Roses, U2, Iron Maiden, Metallica.[/QUOTE]I'm a little late on this but I'll do it anyway:

1. Hard question, I really don't believe any one band could be the best example but if I had to choose one I'd probably pick the Allman Brothers.

2. I'd go with the [I]White Album[/I]. It shows almost all sides of Classic Rock Hard-Blues, Folk, Beach Boys sounding pop song, love songs, beautiful ballads, unstructured psychedelia, and even gives us a glimpse at what's about to come with a Metal song. In terms of diversity and creativness, it's what Classic Rock is all about.

3. Sure, why not? Yes...

4. No to all of them. Besides U2, they're all Metal bands and U2 doesn't fit the classification of Classic Rock. (*classification of Classic Rock see below)

* Classic Rock is a highly diverse classification of Rock made from 1964 to 1974. It ranges from Hard Rock, Pop Rock, Country Rock, Psychedelia, Blues Rock, Funk, Jazz Fusion, Progressive..etc. As you can see you don't need any one specific sound or structure to be classified as Classic Rock which is why Classic Rock cannot be considered a genre.

[QUOTE=WelcomeToTheMachine]Anybody want me to send out some Wakeman? (anybody who hasnt heard him should download these)[/QUOTE]

Yea, if you have the Six Wives of Henry the VIII (or whatever it's called) I would like that a lot.

Edit: Or Journey to the Centre of the Earth.

[QUOTE=WelcomeToTheMachine]Anybody want me to send out some Wakeman? (anybody who hasnt heard him should download these)[/QUOTE]

Sure man, go ahead.

So far today I've listened to Radiohead, Porcupine Tree, and The Grateful Dead.

Last.Fm is in! And since everyone loves seeing these I'll post mine.
1. The Rolling Stones - 133
2. AFI - 51
3. The Beatles - 41
4. Nelly - 31

5. Eminem - 20
7. The Kinks - 19
8. The Jimi Hendrix Experience - 17

I really don't remember listening to any Rolling Stones, I put my iTunes on shuffle everytime I listened to it other then when I listened to Eminem, Nelly, Jimi Hendrix, Zeppelin, the Animals and Pink Floyd.

Jacarn, did you have trouble getting Last.fm to work in Itunes when you installed it?

and ill upload all of my Wakeman which is

Journey To The Center Of the Earth
Lisztomania
Rhapsodies
Rick Wakeman's Criminal Records
The Myths & Legends of King Arthur & The Knights of the Round Table
The Six Wives Of Henry VIII

and ill do more tommorow, as im getting more today and tommorow.

NP - Rick Wakeman - Anne Of Cleves

No it installed itself and did everything no problems at all.

That's awesome WelcometotheMachine, thanks.

Hey, that's a lot of cheesy, over-the-top keyboarding. :p

yeah some of the albums are very poppy and cheesey but the good ones (Henry, Journey, King Arthur) are awesome.

NP - Rick Wakeman - The Battle/The Forest (best part of Journey)

The Wakeman should be an interesting listen, I haven't heard any of his solo stuff.

Thsi may seem like an odd question but does anyone know of a list that has all programs involved with Itunes?

1 Red Hot Chili Peppers 29
2 Bob Dylan 24
2 Canned Heat 24
4 ZZ Top 20
5 Jefferson Airplane 18
6 Miles Davis 12
7 Richie Havens 9
7 Pink Floyd 9
9 The Blues Brothers 7
9 The Beatles 7

Pretty sweet week.

And sorry WttM, I'm not good with iTunes. I just downloaded the plugin, and then to make sure it's working, open iTunes, go to the visualizer tab, and make sure iScrobbler is checked. That's all I know, but last.fm seems like it's actually been working really well for me the last couple weeks.

Ugh, I haven't been home since Friday. I don't feel like reading all the pages.

Although, that record store has a sweet name. Great album.

there is no Iscrobbler tab, thats whats weird, i went into prgram files too and everything there taht should be

My post is the most important :D

So I'm completely diggin' [I]Let It Be Naked[/I]. I never really listened to the original [I]Let It Be[/I], but all of these songs are pretty awesome. I think I'm gonna get the original one now.

I also downloaded a few Beatlejazz albums my dad was telling me about. They're like a modern jazz group who play their versions of Beatles' songs. It's pretty cool, although it's more mellow than faster stuff, like some of Coltrane's for instance.

NP: Across The Universe

4 of the Wakeman albums just finished but the YSI links arent loading

Not a bad week if you ask me : )

If anyone could read this and tell me if they see any major flaws in information or confusing stuff I'd apperciate it, or even if I skipped over something you feel is important tell me.

[SIZE="2"]The typical instruments you would see on a classic rock album would probably just be the good old fashioned bass, drums, lead and rhythm guitar. This all changed around 1965 on the album Rubber Soul which had the song "Norwegian Wood (This Bird Has Flown)" which was the first song from a Western band to have a sitar. George Harrison the lead guitarist for the Beatles was inspired to play a sitar by Ravi Shankar, who later taught him and Brain Jones of the Rolling Stones. On Rubber Soul the Beatles went from writing naive love songs to writing sophisticated songs about relationships and one night stands. 1965 was a very important year in music, it shaped the direction of music to come in the next ten or so years. 1965 showed the release of two Beatles albums, two Bob Dylan albums and perhaps his most famous Highway 61 Revisited, three Rolling Stone albums, two Kinks albums and the debut from the Who. After 1965 each band started finding its position in music, the Beatles became Pop-Rock gurus, Bob Dylan did Bob Dylanish things, the Who later became Hard Rock kings, the Kinks became a band that could rival the Beatles in songwriting, and the Stones experimented with Hard Rock, Psychedelic, Blues and Country over the next few years, never settling to long until the 1980’s which after a string of bad releases ultimately blemished their career.[/SIZE]

I'm not reading that.

NP: The Grateful Dead - Estimated Prophet

Bob Dylan did Bob Dylan-ish things :lol: :lol:

Good write up though.

NP - Wakeman - Merlin The Magician

lol tl;dr

No really, I thought it was pretty good. Some of the sentences were worded a little bit awkwardly but the concepts were well-represented.
