I don't mind them either, but he got rated best guitarist of all-time, which every time I hear those stupid *** countdowns, makes me want to pull my hair out.

The guy had talent but that still doesn't justify a bad band

Woodstock 09-28-2004 07:39 PM

Woodstock 09-28-2004 07:49 PM

Pre-Walsh Eagles = the best

BlackDeathMetalJazz or really ANYTHING else please- 09-28-2004 08:17 PM

Anyone still there?

BludgeonySteve 09-28-2004 09:02 PM

What do you all think? Who's better, Neil Young solo or CSN&Y. I know i'm going to take alot of flame for this but i'd say Neil Young. He did so many amazing things solo. And as far as i'm considerned he's (a bit) better than CSN&Y.

*waits to be beaten up by the hippies*

That's a tough one, but I'd haveo to go with CSNY. I think their harmonization was so perfect, it's amazing.

Simple Man 09-28-2004 09:58 PM

Neil Young.

BludgeonySteve 09-28-2004 10:00 PM

Hey, this could possibly be another debate topic. It might be like a mini debate or warm-up before the dead vs. the allmans.

Seafroggys 09-28-2004 10:06 PM

How long have you guys been planning to do this Allman-Dead debate? Two weeks or something?

Might as well got it done by now :D

Seafroggys 09-28-2004 10:10 PM

You have to read what somebody said on Amazon.com about Aqualung:

[QUOTE]Dull, Overated, Short, boring, lyrically stupid, full of filler, and definitely NOT a Rock Classic. I was tricked into buying this scum by the masses of reviewers who hailed this as "One of the Greatest Classic Rock Albums of All-Time!". Well, I'd heard Aqualung on the radio and thought that that was a good song, so what was to lose? Well, my money! Surprisingly to me, Aqualung turned out to be 1 of the only 2 good songs on this album! Fair warning to all potential buyers, if you buy this expecting this album to be a "Rock" album, you'll be disappointed! What you ACTUALLY are getting is a combination of blues and jazz, with almost no guitar and an over-emphasis on the flute. THE FLUTE! Granted, if you are a fan of any of those musical styles that I just mentioned, you will LOVE this album! Although, if you're not, like me, you will HATE this album! After rocking with the song Aqualung, Jethro Tull then plunges into suicide by playing 7 straight songs that are simply a flute with some backup drums! Finally, we get to the other good song Hymn 43, which is a radio staple and happens to be the only one with a guitar all throughout the song! Note that I'm reviewing the Aqualung without the extra tracks, but even if they are good it's simply not enough to make up for the rest of the album. I thought I would fall asleep during the misery that is My God and Wind-Up, which drag on for 7 and 6 minutes respectfully. Jethro Tull never tries inventiveness or originality, as all the songs are typical folk songs with tinges of jazz and blues, with hardly any vocals and mostly just flute solos! Also, the lyrics are childishly stupid, and are some of the worst I've ever heard. Since the album doesn't include the lyrics, simply download some of Aqualung's songs of the net and read them! They never fail to get a laugh out of you! And seriously folks, out of 11 songs, you only get 5 songs that are over 4 minutes, with the rest(Excluding Hymn 43) being just boring filler that takes up space! While Led Zeppelin and America manage to do good and even great folk/rock, Jethro Tull has never impressed me at all. This CD is really overated, and it's saddening to look at all the good reviews. If you're a fan of Rock, you won't like this. If you're a fan of folk, jazz, blues, or play a flute you will like this. Otherwise, this CD will simply bore you to sleep. Good for K5 teachers trying to find a way to get the kids to go to sleep at nap time! Also, if you listen to "Aqualung", the guitar riff is casually ripped off of Black Sabbath's "War Pigs"! That really angers me that one of only a few good songs on this album isn't even original![/QUOTE]

I found this to be very funny. This guy has no sense of perspective whatsoever.

Iwannarock 09-28-2004 10:12 PM

[QUOTE=rock not roll]Would ac/dc be counted as classic rock? They are one of my favorite bands but I have always thought that they are just plain rock.[/QUOTE]


yeah. I like to think they are. they rock non the less and they made their own style, which a lot of classic rockers did. so they are.

BludgeonySteve 09-28-2004 10:13 PM

And he hasen't heard of paragraphs. I like almost every song on Aqualung. I don't know what he's been smoking. Obviously not pot because stoners love Tull :D

Edit: in responce to the Aqualung flamez0id article.

The thing is, when I made that post I knew nothing. Now I know a ton about music.

Join in the current conversation. Forget about all of those early posts please.

thickasabrick 09-28-2004 10:18 PM

in response to the tull comment made earlier....jethro tull owns you

ian anderson has got to be probably the most talented musician of all time. jethro tull isnt my favourite band, but you have to give anderson credit. he kept the band rolling with new material for decades, and has learned probably about twenty different instruments as well as incorporated them into awesome music.

jethro tull is awesome. aqualung may possibly be their best album too.

edit- ok i have realized that whoever wrote that article most likely will never read this post...now i feel thick as a brick.
