[QUOTE=Disconnection Notice]Well, I said that they came into their own, which was around '66, when they released [I]Revolver[/I]; before then they were basically a pop group.[/QUOTE]

well i think if they released an album like..Sgt Peppers in like '64 the world wouldn't have really been ready for it. they were a great band because they were doing exactly the right thing at the right time. when it was time for a change in the 60's they were always heading up the new direction music was taking.

yikes i suppose i should delete those other posts i made last night

[QUOTE=lunch998]That's what I thought, but some kid is trying to tell me it is more about English Society and it's hardly based on Animal Farm at all.[/QUOTE]

That's me. Have you read Animal Farm? Have you looked at the lyrics of Animals?

I came to an agreement about this last night. Read the rest of my posts a few pages ago.

ya you guys all talked about all this yesterday, it should be done...what is Animal Farm anyway?

it sounds like a book, i always imagined it being a childrens tv show in England...kids shows are always based around animals.

Its book by George Orwell, Its basically about communism.

[QUOTE=guitrguy]Its book by George Orwell, Its basically about communism.[/QUOTE]

so Animals is based off of a book about politics...so could it be considered a political type concept album, or no? i never really thought much into the songs on Animals.

I read Animal Farm in the 6th grade, but I didn't really understand the symbolism ya know since I was only like 11. I'm hoping if I read it again I'll understand the lyrics a little better.

Yea it could be considered political, to an extent.

I'm going to start a review on [I]Deja Vu[/I] by CSNY. I figure it's about time someone did it.

I'm going to review something as well. :)

how do you review something? like do you just write it up and post it? or do you have to ask a mod or something?

i wouldn't mind doing a review..

hey badmoon what kind of songs do you play on your banjo? do you learn folk/folk-rockish songs that have banjo, like neil young?

i heard this eagles song yesterday with good banjo in it, i dont remember the name, it was one of their more well known ones though.

[QUOTE]hey badmoon what kind of songs do you play on your banjo? do you learn folk/folk-rockish songs that have banjo, like neil young?[/QUOTE]

I play Bluegrass songs. Not Folk, and rarely Country.

thats cool. so are there bluegrass bands you listen to regularly? like buy their cd's and stuff? i haven't really found a bluegrass band that i listen to regularly, my guitar teacher just gives me traditional songs and i dunno who wrote them.

Just got 50 new cds. Tons of bluegrass, blues, jazz and quite a bit of classic rock. :)

Lucky bastard. What did you get?

[QUOTE=Schyma000]Just got 50 new cds. Tons of bluegrass, blues, jazz and quite a bit of classic rock. :)[/QUOTE]

FIFTY??!! did you pay for these cds? cuz that's quite a bit of moolah. the thing i hate about buying a lot of records, or cds in your case, at one time is that you never have time to listen to them all right away. you might listen to one, and like it, so you listen to it a couple more times...and then you try another and like it, and listen to it a few more times. after a while you realize you've only listened to about a half of them.

at least thats what happened to me. i have about 200 records i haven't listened to yet.

edit- dammit, i am filling out christmas cards for different people, and i accidently signed Love Jeff on one to a teacher. do you think that is a little too much? should i change it?

He got them for free somehow, he'd have to tell you the story. His landlord had 500 Cd's and offered to let him have some or something like that.

6 Doors, 1 George H, OCMS (bluegrass band), 6 Phish, 1 John Coltrane, 8 Arosmith...and about 40 more I dont feel like naming.

woah, sweet.

Awesome man. I think my copy of Happy Trails arrived, but my mom won't let me open the package because apparently there are other Cd's in there for me.

oh right he mentioned that yesterday i believe. lucky guy.

if there's any you don't like, you can give them away as presents to your dear friends in Classic Rock :)

My dad's landlord found 700 cds in a empty appartment and sold them to him for 50$ and I got to go through them all last night.

looks like christmas came early for Schyma this year.

i had basketball practice this morning and it just about killed me.

does anyone know anything about the band Poco?

I still want to find someone who knows something about the paupers.

[QUOTE=RockAndRoll]I still want to find someone who knows something about the paupers.[/QUOTE]

I think you'll have to keep looking. I want to find someone else who has heard of Spirit.

I want to find someone who has heard of Roy Harper.

[QUOTE=Schyma000]I want to find someone who has heard of Roy Harper.[/QUOTE]

We've all heard of him, but not heard him.

This is now the "What kind of person you want for Christmas" thread.

I know :upset:

[QUOTE=lunch998]I think you'll have to keep looking. I want to find someone else who has heard of Spirit.[/QUOTE]
I know I will, Although I did see something on them in a book at my school library. I'm sure most people here have heard one of their members play though.

i've heard of Spirit..just cuz of the lame Stairway blah blah thing.

i've heard of Roy Harper.

never heard of Pauper...

so no Poco?

Yea Spirit comes up because of their song Taurus and it's resemblence to the intro to Stairway. I actually have not heard Taurus, I still need to get Spirit's first album.
