[QUOTE=Perverted Pixie Nudist Colony]I heard the White Album is like four solo aritsts on the same album - John with a backing band, Paul with a backing band, George with a backing band and Ringo with a backing band.[/QUOTE]

Wow, I can't believe you haven't heard the White Album.

Anyway, that's kinda how it is, but its really good. Even though the best songs are on here, I still think Abbey Road is the better album.

[QUOTE=Seafroggys]Jack Bruce. Yeah he's a great bass player. At first I thought that Cream's singer was Eric Clapton, I think their voices are similar. And Ginger Baker was doing freakishly awesome double bass grooves when all of today's metal drummers were in diapers or even before they were little spermies. I wish those two actually managed to do something passed Cream (well, Baker was in Blind Faith), because they were some of the, if not the most talented musicians of the day at their instrument.[/QUOTE]

I also thought Clapton sang for Cream. I didn't realize it was Bruce until I bought a dvd of them and saw them play live.

With all this talk about Hendrix, do any of you guys listen to Robin Trower?

And does anybody wanna send me some albums over AIM. Maybe The Band, Cream, or Neil Young? I need to rebuild my album list after reformatting my computer.

[QUOTE=Perverted Pixie Nudist Colony]Good choices! :thumb:

What does everyone think of [i]Magical Mystery Tour[/i]?[/QUOTE]

I don't have it, but it does have some great songs. I Am The Walrus, Magical Mystery Tour, All You Need Is Love, Penny Lane. And umm, yeah.

and of course: Strawberry Fields Forever

an excellent song!

What does everyone think of the Doors' self titled debut?

[QUOTE=Perverted Pixie Nudist Colony]What does everyone think of the Doors' self titled debut?[/QUOTE]

Great album. It has so many classics on it :). It's seriously underrated, methinks. The Crystal Ship, 20th Century Fox, Light My Fire, The End ;). Great stuff.

and of course: break on through (to the other side). that's a great song too. doors are great. what do you think of the Eddie Vedder (pearl jam singer/frontman) and Jim Morrison comparrisons?

[QUOTE=Perverted Pixie Nudist Colony]What does everyone think of the Doors' self titled debut?[/QUOTE]

I like it. Probably my favorite, next to Strange Days, only because Strange Days seems to follow a gloomier theme, while Self Titled doesn't really have a theme, just all the songs they were playing at the time it came out. Still great songs though.

Eddie Vedder's a very talented singer, considering he started that whole vocal style (not copied it like so many others! :mad: ). But in no way does he compare to morrison's talent. Morrison is just too good.

Yea, I've never heard of comparisons between the two. Eddie Vedder is talented though.

what is everyone's opinion on these new garage rock bands that are bringing a 70's revival?

Eh, they can't get it right. I mean, cmon, atleast play decent guitar solos...

What's with all of the topic changes? I don't like changing topics this much :(

topic changes keep people posting! it's like a real conversation. If the topic never changed (which it always does), then people would run out of things to say.

[QUOTE=Perverted Pixie Nudist Colony]what is everyone's opinion on these new garage rock bands that are bringing a 70's revival?[/QUOTE]

I've been wanting to make a band similar to that since before all these wannabe 70s groups started popping around.

However, it wouldn't be so much a 70's revival group, but more of a varied (progressive, heavy, ballad) rock band utilizing many sounds and styles of the classic rock era but making our own sound.

I've written over 40 songs for this band I will eventually become part of (it only exists in my mind sadly), and we will take over the world.

i think the Doors debut album had some amazing songs, but as an album it wasn't as strong as Strange Days.

I haven't heard a lot by Eddie Vedder, and i've never thought of comparing him to Morrison, but i heard Vedder can do a pretty good Morrison with the Doors of the 21 Century or whatever they are called.

and garage bands....well some of them arent bad, but they lack what the original garage bands had. back in the late sixties and seventies, all garage bands had something different to offer. Early Alice Cooper is a great garage band, in my opinion, because they had something unique, plus obvious talent (of course later Cooper became less garage and more...i dunno what to call it).

We lasted a good while talking about the Dead.

Too many modern garage bands (where I live, at least - we call them garbage bands) just want to play death metal and nothing else. It's refreshing to see band that doesn't sing about Satan and rotting corpses every once in a while.

I hate it when people make very ignorant comments about metal.

there's a difference between Garage Rock, and Garage Bands. Garage bands mean that they aren't successful enough to play big venues, and get big record deals and stuff. Garage rock bands usually can play big venues, and have big record deals, its just the type of music they play.

Garage rock is best described as the opposite of Prog Rock, very simple chords and chord progressions and lyrics, usually nothing too virtuoistic (if that's a word). Kind of like punk music, how it's simple and to the point, except rock, not punk.

edit- guitrguy, don't you go to school or anything? i'm at school right now, but my class is ending and i can't come on during math.

Im in pascal class, im about to go to physics, so yes I go to school.

I just find it bland sounding to me.

[QUOTE=Medopalis]Garage rock, off the top of my head is stuff like The Hives, The Vines, The Strokes, and all those sort of bands. Like a lot of people, I don't really mind listening to it, but I don't really get what the fuss is. Especially with bands like The Strokes, who may be the most critically overrated band I've ever heard, where they seem to have one song, that they just re-release every now and again. It's a generalisation, but a lot of the music is very repetitive.[/QUOTE]
I agree, all those bands' music does sound the same. I dont realize how people can't recognize that, let alone the record company producing them.

Random:

"[I]Taurus[/I]" by Spirit really does have the intro to "[I]Stairway To Heaven[/I]".

ya, well jimmy page did admit he used the same chord progression and basic idea. so i wasn't suprised when they sounded quite similiar.

edit- some people call him a riff stealer for that, but really how is it stealing when he admits to it? i've heard lots of bands do that. example: april wine - i like to rock, it uses the riff from day tripper. no one gets mad at april wine for that, they just target jimmy page.

I like Eddie Vedder. Plus, he's from Chicago :).

[QUOTE=Badmoon]I like Eddie Vedder. Plus, he's from Chicago :).[/QUOTE]

are you from chigaco?

what are all the guys from pearl jam up to these days? i know Eddie was doing the Doors thing at one point of time.

Yes.

I'm pretty sure they're still together. They just plsyed on some late night talk show. I think it was Jay Leno.

I lose interest in Pearl Jam very quickly whenever I hear one of their songs. Didn't they cover Baba O'Riley?

pearl jam is bland 90s alt. although im from that generation, i never liked it. just about ever song i listen to is just as old as i am, if not older, besides the thrash and death metal.
