Replace the term classic rock album from "typical instruments you would see on a classic rock album" with "on any album before 1965" or something along those lines, becasue it could be taken that you believe classic rock only referres to the time before 1965.

Put "perhaps his most famous, Highway 61 Revisited" in parenthesis, take out the "and." You might not want to use the term "Bob Dylanish things."

The actual content of the article is right on. What is this for?

[QUOTE]On Rubber Soul the Beatles went from writing naive love songs to writing sophisticated songs about relationships and one night stands.[/QUOTE]

I don't necessarily think that's the best description of their transition in the mid sixties.

If that's for school I suggest you fix up the grammar (and spelling) and try not to word your sentences like a 12 year old.

Lunch 02-26-2006 04:55 PM

WttM, any chance you could upload the 6 Wives of Henry VIII or Journey..?

I just downloaded the album you sent out earlier but haven't listened to it yet.

Thanks, after re-reading with the changes it makes more sense. I'm pretty bad at getting my thoughts from my brain to the computer screen or writing in general.

Its for the paper, I just got word of me doing it today so I'm a bit rushed seeing as I have to do some make up for English too. (More writing, yay!) Oh and Schyma if you don't mind could I use (more like sample because I would like to use your first sentance and your last few, I wouldn't be using them word for word either just the structure of it) your explination of Classic Rock, I would give you credit but on my sources cited page but having; Scyhma - page 1930 [url]musicianforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=164023&page=1930[/url] would seem a little, uh odd. Nevermind I don't need to do a cited page for this because I'm doing it mostly out of memory and once in awhile fact checking from various places, but ya.

JonG 02-26-2006 05:11 PM

For a class I have to make a soundtrack for who my books about, which is Jerry Garcia. Any ideas for songs and what they relate to him?

PinkFreud 02-26-2006 05:13 PM

Typically, the main instruments you would hear on a classic rock album before 1965 would be the bass, drums, lead and rhythm guitar. This all changed in 1965 on the Beatles' album Rubber Soul, which contained Norwegian Wood (This Bird Has Flown), the first song from a Western band to feature a sitar. George Harrison, the lead guitarist for the Beatles, was inspired to play a sitar by Ravi Shankar, who later taught him and Brian Jones of the Rolling Stones. On Rubber Soul the Beatles went from naively writing about love to more sophisticated subject matter such as one-night stands and alienation. As the Beatles matured in 1965, the world of music surrounding them changed with them. It showed the release of two Beatles albums, two Bob Dylan albums including (arguably) 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 niche in music. The Beatles became Pop-Rock gurus, Bob Dylan became the most eloquent lyricist rock music has ever known, the Who grew into 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 too long until the 1980’s where a string of poor releases tarnished their reputation.

This sentence seems out of place when I read the paragraph, mainly because it seems like an introduction to your essay.

I'm having a hell of a time making it flow together I keep finding myself going off on little rants or something. I've changed that line to this: [QUOTE]The Beatles weren’t the only band hitting it big in 1965 etc...[/QUOTE]

Thanks PF I edited accordingly, but I kept the Bob Dylan line my way! Haha.
I don't know how I could breath without you guys, and by that I mean write half decent article thingys.
Oh shiz PF's superior writing is killing my ideas. :lol: :upset:

EDITED!

Lunch 02-26-2006 05:28 PM

Yea I like the way it reads now better, Freud.

Has anyone ever heard of Triumvirat? They were a prog rock group from Germany in the 1970's, and the reviews I'm reading say they were very similar to ELP in style. I'd be really interested in some of their stuff.

Incense and Peppermints 02-26-2006 05:40 PM

Hey Lunch do you know if the Who performed most of or if any [I]Tommy[/I] at Woodstock?

Thanks, Robo

robo2448 02-26-2006 05:43 PM

They performed parts of Tommy. I'm pretty sure no full performance, but a bunch of songs from it. Of course, they're drinks were spiked with acid so it wasn't their most memorable performance.

Edit- I just googled it and this was their setlist:

Heaven And Hell
I Can't Explain
It's A Boy
1921
Amazing Journey
Sparks
Eyesight To The Blind
Christmas
Tommie Can You Hear Me
Acid Queen
Pinball Wizard
Abbie Hoffmann Incident
Fiddle About
There's A Doctor
Go To The Mirror Boy
Smash The Mirror
I'm Free
Tommy's Holiday Camp
We're Not Gonna Take It
See Me Feel Me
Summertime Blues
Shakin' All Over
My Generation
Naked Eye

[QUOTE=Incense and Peppermints]Hey Lunch do you know if the Who performed most of or if any [I]Tommy[/I] at Woodstock?[/QUOTE]

I think they played a good deal of it.

Edit: Most of it according to a setlist I found for their Woodstock performance.

BigTrav415 02-26-2006 06:53 PM

Ugh, no one comes to North Carolina. Well, the Stones, but I'm not paying that much. And ABB had to be on an away game night :( :( :( :(

You have included 562 images in your message. You are limited to using 4 images so please go back and correct the problem and then continue again.

/was really pissed that I missed the Stone's last concert and will most likely cough up the dough next time

I wish I could write a paper on Classic Rock. It'd be really long and good, since I'd say I'm a pretty good writer and I'd be writing about something I loved. All you guys with your Music History classes and CR papers take your opportunities for granted me thinks.

thickasabrick 02-26-2006 07:03 PM

Hey nice edit PF! Finally one of us isn't a lazy bastard. Including me.


Not related to music, but sort of interesting: The other day in drug class the teacher was talking about the longterm effects of psychedelics (he said he did acid 200 times in Grade 12 alone) and he said that when he looks at any large patterned object like a carpet or a ceiling that it starts to take on a 3-D look and the colours seem to bounce around.

So I have known I can do that same thing for a while, I thought it was natural and not drug related. So anyways, I decided to just stare at my ceiling for a while to see if it can happen every time...and after I layed on my bed and stared at the ceiling for some time it started to get the 3-D affect. Then the next step happened when I look at a pattern long enough...the pattern starts flowing from one side to the other like a river, and then swirling and bubbling. I was so zoned out because I had been looking at my ceiling for about 15 minutes then suddenly actual pictures started to appear. I saw faces and a huge spider (kinda intense! I'm scared of spiders) and lots of crazy scenes from like cartoons. Everything else in my sight except for the relatively small picture was spinning madly, counter clockwise I think. After that started happening I got a little freaked out and look away.

So anyways, if you read that (I don't blame you if you didn't), do you think that's from drugs or do you think it's more of a meditation type thing? Because I also meditate alot....but I also have done my share of psychedelics. I always figured it was a meditation thing until the drug teacher mentioned that.

edit - I think The Last Waltz is on tonight...

robo2448 02-26-2006 07:13 PM

What channel is the Last Waltz on?

And I've had similar experiences but rarely after staring at something for a long time but I've never done any psychedelic drugs. So maybe it's just a natural thing.

np: Erkin Koray- Mesafeler 2

Edit- I checked ticketmaster for Hot Tuna and they're coming to Westbury NY. I'm not even sure where Westbury NY is, but I think it's on Long Island and pretty near. Leon Russell and Dave Mason are also playing there. I might to try to go to both those shows.

BigTrav415 02-26-2006 07:16 PM

It's known that if you look at any patterned object that exact stuff happens. Not drug-related. Although it's stronger for less mentally stable people, which is probably everyone in this thread anyway.

I read a short story one time that was a little confusing, but it was about a guy that was kind of off, and one of his favorite things was to lie on a bed and look up at the cieling and let an image come to him. I think it's kind of cool to do that too.

Hey wait... drug class? I hate you all.

Glitterati 02-26-2006 07:24 PM

Does anyone listen to Duke Ellington? I've been downloading a bunch of his stuff today. Good jazzy stuff.

He's the subject of the Stevie Wonder song Sir Duke fyi.

I've done the psychedelics very few times, I basically just smoke, but I have kind of noticed that before. I can see faces in my ceiling if I stare at it for like 30 seconds. I'm not sure if this is related to drugs in any way, I guess it might be though. And what exactly is drug class?

I've been on a bit of a Stones kick lately, I think Jac is starting to rub off on me.
