[QUOTE=rock not roll]

In the 60s and 70s it was all about the music. People listened to entire albums at a time and explored music..

I know what you mean. Today people buy records and look for the song on the radio. Then when a new one appears on the radio, they listen to that song. Pathetic, if you ask me. I've thoroughly listened to every album i own and have ever owned. Sad, sad world.

^Time changes all aspects of life. This just proves that it, unfortunately, effects music too.

Actually, it effects people's outlook on music. As time went by, and music was mixed and shifted more, people became out of touch with music as we like it. Music in all forms has changed. We are now faced wiht music just hoping to make it big in the mainstream. 30 or 40 years ago, it was about the music, and only the music. Today, it's totally the opposite. I remember, when i was(sadly) in my punker phase, i remember thinking "we're going to be SO rich". I hated myself after i realized how much i really loved music, and now i'm never going that way again. Maybe, one day, if there are enough of us, we can bring back the days of it being about MUSIC, not CASH.



Who's with me? :thumb:



/feels way too emo right now

[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 is definitely experiencing some sort of revival, i've been listening to classic rock since i was 2 about 13 years ago. I've loved all the music and mainly because my parents were always listening to it, now all of a sudden kids in my highschool are getting back into classic rock and it's incredible. If you go to most schools you'll see kids with their guitars sitting outside and they're playing the classics zep, beatles, floyd... its great!

Listening to a whole album is always a great experience (unless the album sucks).

You'll always pick up a song that has meaning for you.

The best part about listening to whole albums is that you actually get to hear new songs, and you find one of those songs that you may not have heard before but you wonder why the hell it hasn't already been declared the best song of all time, and then while listening to another CD you relaize it's because there can't be 2 (or 3 etc).

^Yeah, it adds musical intelligence. So, whenever my mom or dad ask why I buy so many CD's that's my excuse.

Have any of you noticed that Rock music is kind of ruling this board now?

Which board^? Rock and metal or mx?

If rock and metal then I agree. The majority of the threads are about rock/classic rock.

Yeah I wish there was more metal threads out there. Don't get me wrong I love classic rock, but I love metal too.

Usually MX altogether is a forum, he sub forums are the boards, atleast that's the way I put it.

It has been lately, but for a long time it was metal ruling, it's good to have some more threads i can actually post in in here.

^You obviously haven't been here that long. I have been here for more than a year, and Metal has ruled the forum. It gets really annoying

[QUOTE=NachoChez]And yeah, classic rock is becoming extremely popular among teenagers.[/QUOTE]
yea like i went to the Aerosmith/ Cheap Trick concert on like june 2nd and like almost half the crowd was under 21 :amaze:

classic rock in my oppinion is hte best music genre of all time with the greatest bands of all time
the beatles
zeppelin
pink floyd
the who
black sabbath
and so on and all the good classic rock bands kick all the new rock we have these days

I'm going to go see the australian pink floyd thing. From what i've heard it's really good.

Everyone is forgetting YES, theyre amazing

Zeppelin got me into classic rock. from then I went on a huge "Floydian" rush then cream then the who etc. Now I'm listening to lesser known classic rock bands like ten years after and the byrds and stuff. I listen to some bluesy rock like johnny winter as well.

[QUOTE=phishHD8]Everyone is forgetting YES, theyre amazing[/QUOTE]

62 pages in the thread you might just guess that we have talked about YES already....

Steve Miller Band got me into it. then it progressed to The Who (hence my username), and now its Boston. which my favorite song [U][I][B]EVER[/B] [/I] [/U] is "Foreplay/Long Time" by them.

also:
Pink Floyd
Queen
BTO
Foreigner
Styx
REO Speedwagon
Led Zepplin
theres more but i cant think of them...... :D :lol: :thumb:

^well good. (he will never post in this thread again, even though he has some lesser known bands in his list).

Steve miller band is awesome. I just decided to listen to the complete greatest hits cd because i'm lazy ;)

They are a good band, most people know one or two of there songs but not the band.

He makes great music, but he is also **** good at making a terrible song.
