[QUOTE=rock not roll]Yeah. Greatest band ever. I worship them, I have all of their cds exept for Zeppelin 3 and that's only because I heard is wasn't all that good so I decided to spend my money on some Neil young and Pink Floyd. I'll get Zeppelin 3 soon though.[/QUOTE]
Zeppelin are my fave, too; I fell in love with rock music to the sound of Page playing a Telecaster (w/ a bow, occasionally.) Page is the most influential guitarist for me (Jimi's second, of course). Almost every aspect of his playing appeals to me; I share most of his interests music-wise. Especially the way Zep used dynamics and atmosphere, which lifted them above a lot of heavy bands at the time, and especially later on.

The only thing is, I hope like Badmoon said that people aren't overlooking bands from that era and just listening to Zeppelin, Floyd and the Beatles. I know alot of my favorites tend to be pretty obvious, but I'm just being honest about what I like.

EDIT: Sorry 'bout posting three times in a row, I thought someone would have posted between them by now.

i'm just happy if ppl are listening to any bands from that era at all. once u let in the beatles, zep, and floyd, soon the floodgates open. pretty soon the person has been weened onto the who, hendrix, dylan, traffic, ccr, grateful dead, the doors, the doobie bros, etc. i've seen it happen quite frequently

[QUOTE=Moroii]I've been saying that all my life; I don't know how any band can play just one particular style, looks like things would get pretty tedious. I guess they're just trying to stick with what they're good at, but what about people that only listen to (mostly) one genre? I've never had a favorite band that was one-dimensional.[/QUOTE]

That was in another thread... Well anyway yeah it's right. Some bands that are one dimensional like ac/dc and Van Halen are still great even though they never change but sometimes different kinds of music in one band can be better.

i gotta admit, i am a massive pink floyd fan. ask me any question on them! i also love led zep and focus among others

Who played sax on dark side of the moon?

his name was Dick Parry. next

Name all of the pink floyd albums of the 70s and 80s and the year made.

If you get that then we will come to the conclusion that you really know your floyd :thumb:

Dick parry played sax on all the 70's floyd albums.

Ok, amused to death (great album by the way;)) who is the only floyd member to play on all the albums?

i wouldn't call van halen entirely one dimensional. i mean u can't even compare "hot for teacher" with "i can't stop loving u". but ac/dc is pretty one dimensional.

so what are the best classic rocks u've seen live? mine are the doors (even without morrison they were really good), the allman bros, the doobie bros, and joe cocker. those guys all put on great memorable shows.

Alice Cooper, I recomend everyone to see him. There is no doubt in my mind that he does the greatest shows.

The Who, they're not as energetic as they used to be, yet still fabulous.

Ted Nugent, He's hilarious as hell, and is just crazy on stage.

^^^

im not much of a Who fan, but i have seen Alice Cooper (in 01') and I saw Ted last summer open for ZZ Top with Kenny Wayne Sheppeard and Ted was easily the shows highlight.

[QUOTE=Moroii]Anybody heard of the Pretty Things or the 13th Floor Elevators? Pretty seminal bands.[/QUOTE]

Dies he even have better shows than kiss? People say that they have the greatest shows ever.

I'm only 15 years old, but I've been into classic rock for a long time. Stuff like:

Boston, Bob Seger, Blue Oyster Cult, .38 Special, Bad Company, The Eagles, Grateful Dead, The Doors, The Cars, AC/DC, Led Zeppelin, Journey, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Pink Floyd, Black Sabbath, Steve Miller Band, Traffic, The Beatles, Fog Hat, Deep Purple, David Bowie, etc, etc, etc.

Great stuff, I've grown up listening to this stuff, listen to new rock, and you just don't get the same feeling or soul you get from the old stuff. Oldies, but goodies...

[QUOTE=rock not roll]Dies he even have better shows than kiss? People say that they have the greatest shows ever.[/QUOTE]

I've seen Kiss, and their good, but Alice blows them away, in my opinion.

[QUOTE=badmoon349]I've seen Kiss, and their good, but Alice blows them away, in my opinion.[/QUOTE]

Like the hanging himself and the snake? Man people do crazy stuff to entertain others. Reminds me of this kid who lights himself on fire for attention. Exept that kid doesn't make great music.

[QUOTE=rock not roll]Dies he even have better shows than kiss? People say that they have the greatest shows ever.[/QUOTE]

Cooper was flawless live, but Kiss still put on the hottest show on earth!!

anyone into Ian Anderson's solo albums? like secret langugage of birds, or rupi's dance?

^ Not particularly, but I do like some of his stuff. Just not enough to buy an album of his, or Jethro Tull for that matter.

Oh yeah? What about the time Cooper messed up on his hanging himself act and was dead for 15 minutes? Hardly flawless.

^ :lol: I have never heard that.

I went to a thrift store the other day and bought 5 great records for $7.50 CDN, pretty much like new:
Rush - 2112
Yes - 90125
Sanana - Santana
BTO - Not Fragile
Steve Martin - Let's Get Small

I'm so glad I went...

Yeah they're all great. Took me a looong time to find em though, looking thru all those bins...
I really like the steve martin record, some hilarious stuff on there

So who's going to that Van Halen tour? They aren't coming near Calgary but i'll probably drive somewhere else to see them. I would do anything to see them before they finally quit.

Someone mentioned supertramp a while back, and they're amazing, i've heard they put on great live shows too, i like the diversity the bring to their sound with different instruments, along with groups like tull. It's really shame supertramp is not better known(tull too).

^ I believe that you know all of this, but it is kind of unfair being that this is not a live chat, so there is a huge possibility that you looked all that information up on a website.

Actually Jethro Tull is pretty widely known. I'm pretty sure if you go up to any middle aged person on the street and ask them who they are, they'll known. That may go for younger people too, even if they don't know a song.

It took you that long to look on google? :eek: I'm kidding I bet you did know.

Nice job :thumb:

Yeah, Jethro Tull were very big back in the day, and literally every person in my family loves them. It's too bad they're only really known for two songs (which are "aqualung" and "Locomotive Breath"). Great band.

[QUOTE=B0nz0]ok ok, i admit it, i'm a classic rock nut. i love led zeppelin, the beatles, the who, eric clapton, the doors, and so on. most of the bands i listen to broke up years before i was born. at 17, nearly every song on my playlist is older than me. but is it just my imagination, or is classic rock experiencing sort of a revival. i am running into an increasing number of classic rock fans my age. at my school (an all boys high school), the school newspaper took a poll of everyone's favorite genre and band. led zeppeling got 5th and the beatles got 6th, behind that rap crap. classic rock made up a large percent of ppls favorite genre. is this just by me, or are other ppl noticing this too?

o and for u classic rock fans, the crime of the new century was that the Yardbirds new CD, Birdland, recieved no attention at all. that deserved a grammy, or 6.

so are there any other classic rock fans out there, and even if ur not, have u been noticing somewhat of a revival in interest for that sort of music?[/QUOTE]
classic rock > all new music
period

classic rock > all music in general

I listen to more classic rock than anything, even power metal! lol

I love Lynard Skynard and AC/DC, they're pretty cool. I like Aerosmith too, but I hate to admit that i'm pretty ignorant when it comes to classic rock, I've only started to get into them. Lynard Skynard were the first classic rock band I heard, and they are cool.

omg u dont listten 2 powerr meatle more dan u listtne 2 clasik rawk????!!!! omg u r fagorz!!!!!!!!! fagorzman dose clasik rawxorz d00d are pansys!1!! fagorz!

:rolleyes:

There was a song on a classic rock radio station with lyrics of "sometimes i gotta get high, sometimes i gotta get low" and also "c'mon baby"

Basically those are the only lyrics i remember and its got a reaaaally long guitar solo with some delay effects so it sounds kind of trippy.

Anyone got any ideas on what song this is?

[QUOTE]I love Lynard Skynard[/QUOTE]
It's actually Lynyrd Skynyrd.

SimpleMTS: Hmmm, that could be hundreds of different songs. What genre was it and what did it sound like in general?

[QUOTE=VoodooChild]It's actually Lynyrd Skynyrd.

[/QUOTE]

How do you pronunce that anyway?

^ Are you serious

[QUOTE=badmoon349]^ Are you serious[/QUOTE]
Yeah :(

It is just they had the pronunciation of the name as one of their album titles.
