They were pretty good, but they really sucked as jefferson starship.

p.s Nice user name, speaking of which has anybody read any of morissons poetry? It's some pretty crazy stuff. He's got to be the person i'd like to meet the most, just to see what he was actually like.

[QUOTE]CSNY[/QUOTE] Not exactly. Grahm Nash is from England

[QUOTE=roughyed]Queen being one of the best bands ever...just goes without saying. Even though i did say it....

:chug:[/QUOTE]

Queen are untouchables :) i love John Deacon :thumb:

classic rock is great, my faves are queen, led zep, thin lizzy and fleetwood mac.

i think the reason people can still get into classic rock is because of the songwriting is so good compared to what we have today.

queen are the best band in terms of songwriting as all four members have written numerous classics and countless songs that havent got the exposure they deserved

Ive never had so many people agree with me before :p

Queen Rock!

:chug:

^^^

which albums / songs do you like best?

Greatest Hits 3 Has some of the best work.

And i like ALL of the songs. The Hitman + Princes of the Universe are my fave faster sings. Bijou and Who Wants To Live Forever slow songs.
:chug:

Yes quite a good band. From what i've heard anyway.

isn't sad to see the poor state of rock these days with crappy band like THE DARKNESS just isn't anything like some good old ZEPP and Floyd

pink floyd is cool , punk sucks

Good, but i don't know about the best, the beatles had soome great songwriting going for them. The reason i say that is because technically they weren't all that great, so they didn't have as much to work with and they still managed to make amazing songs. However i consider all the bands i like to have excellent songwriters (why else would i listen to them?).

oh yes, alot of their later albums had alot of overlooked gems on them. the only one i wasnt as big on was "innuendo", there were a handful of good tracks...but probley the worst of the era. Made in Heaven was just incredible, but im really partial to A Kind of Magic and The Miracle. :) i still listne to the early years more than anything, but i think Queen's sound in the 80's was one of a kind...they used synths to their advantage for sure and i like how they all wrote as a band, something not seein early on in the band.

black sabbath is a good classic rock band, even tho they are more heavy, they still existed in that time.

I enjoy some of their work, specially when Randy was still with them.

randy whom? Iommi was the only guitarist the band ever had. Black Sabbath has had over 30 members in the band, none of them having the name Randy...i think your confusing it with Ozzy's solo band.

Wow, I never knew they had so many. It reminds me of that tenacious D song that is supposedly about a member that joins after ozzy leaves, but i forget the name.

^ Dio?

Ozzy is the worst singer that I listen to. Ozzy would be nothing without idiot fans who are impressed by his antics and don't really care about music very much . I listen to him for Rhandy Rhoads.

^ His early stuff wasn't bad.

You have to think, music isn't all about talent. It's about that, song writing, expression, attitude, ect...

And Ozzy had some of that.

[QUOTE=badmoon349]^ Dio?[/QUOTE]

Dio, Ian Gillian, Ray Gillian, Glen Hughes, and for a few shows Rob Halford actually sung with the band lol.

I do aggree that he was very much carried by Sabbath and by the members of his solo band. Hes more of a figurehead, like the queen of england...dosnt have much real power but the people would be lost w/out her...its the same with Ozzy, his voice works for Sabbath better than any of the others, even though Dio's voice is far superior, and Ozzy's role he created for heavy metal is unmatchable. leave it at that.

can't forget jethro tull

^tr00 dat ;)

Hahaha, Frail you caught me. I [I]was[/I] confusing Ozzy's solo band with Sabbath. Bleh. I don't know what I was thinking. Anyway though, I enjoy a little bit of Black Sabath and Ozzy solo but mostly because of Tony Iommi and Randy Rhoads.

[QUOTE=sacredrelevance]can't forget jethro tull[/QUOTE]

which albums do you like?

[QUOTE=badmoon349]^ Dio?[/QUOTE]

That's the one!

So i'm going to put a bunch of my dad's old vinals onto the computer and then burn them onto cds for easy listening since I don't have a record player in my room and I can't carry one around, and i'm certainly not wasting my money on all of that. :cool:

So far i'm getting...

Complete Jimi Hendrix exp collection
Complete Van Halen.
Complete The Who
Many Neil young
Many Cream and Eric Clapton
Maybe some Jethro Tull
Some Beatles
Some Allman Brothers
and a bunch more :D

Any suggestions for less known bands. He has about 700 records of 60s-late 80s classic rock and blues.

^Bob Marley - Burnin'

The Grateful Dead - Workingman's Dead

That's what I'd add, in your case.

I love classic rock, I am a 14 year old and my favorite bands are:

Black Sabbath
Led Zeppelin
Kansas
Judas Priest
Ac/dc
The Rolling Stones
Metallica
Slayer
Kiss
Soundgarden
Dream Theater
Ted Nugent
Jackyl
And many many more :thumb:
