[QUOTE=funk_rock_jazz_drummer]heres my Question: Why is Classic Rock suddenly "In." It pains me to see some kid who just grew his hair out, wearing brand new converse, and a led zeppelin shirt or a Dark side of the moon shirt. Hmmm, im just ranting here... but c'mon agree with me.

For example: My neighbor, who is 14, is suddenly a raving lunatic when it comes to led zeppelin. Apparently his favorite album is, of course, Led Zeppelin IV. Guess what his favorite song is. Yup, you guessed it. The ironic thing is, not more than a year ago, his big thing was rap.

To give this a point, American Beauty is a great album.[/QUOTE]

Those kinds of people suck.

So I'm listening to Moondance on the site right now, and I really like it. Is it one of Van Morrison's better albums and is it a good one to start with?

yeah thats right

I haven't listened to much Van Morrison, I should be getting Astral Weeks. I need Badmoon's opinion on it though.

I also don't like American Beauty, only Truckin'. ALSO, I voted Aqualung.

[QUOTE=magicbus]I also don't like American Beauty, only Truckin'. ALSO, I voted Aqualung.[/QUOTE]
It's good to know I'm not the only one who's like that.

You guys suck, Box Of Rain, Sugar Mangolia, Friend Of The Devil, Ripple???

you guys deserve a banjo smiting by badmoon.

My favourite Van Morrison album is Moondance, I only have a couple, and I'm not sure how many he put out..but that's the best one I have.

And how could anyone not vote for American Beauty? In spite of being an admitted Jethro Tull fanboy, I can still admit that American Beauty is way better than all those other albums up there.

I could easily not vote for it due to the fact that it puts me to sleep.

you are a bad man then

[QUOTE=ooba doooba]you are a bad man then[/QUOTE]
I agree, but **** off.

Van Morrison is awesome. Astral Weeks is great, as is Moondance. Also, Tupelo Honey is a great album.

Dark Side of the Moon puts me to sleep, actually, I listen to it just about every night before I go to bed...but it's still my favourite album.

I always sleep during my favourite albums, it's the crappy ones that keep me awake. I'm not sure why though, I think good albums just put my brain and body at ease.

[QUOTE=rock not rolled]I agree, but **** off.[/QUOTE]

no reason to be so mean little man

hahahaha. that was funny...little man. that's good stuff.

But honestly, this isnt the thread for fighting. Rock doesn't like you Ooba, so you have two choices: leave this thread, or change the quality of your posts so maybe he might get mad at you.

the beatles' music always amazes me. i only wish i was around in the height of beatlemania

Then I guess a better way to put it is that I find it to be boring as hell and I can't stand to listen to it. Why would I vote for it when there's Aqualung, an album which I love more and more every time I listen to it.

i have as much right to be here as he does.

Music doesn't put me to sleep anymore. It sucks cause I always listen to music when I go to bed, and then I wake up and its still on, so I turn it off. But I always fall asleep when watching music dvds. Go figure.

And I've listened to American Beauty a few times. It just didn't interest me. Very quiet, wasn't feelin it.

[QUOTE=ooba doooba]i have as much right to be here as he does.[/QUOTE]

Not when your posts average 5 words and have absolutely nothing to do with music.

just a minute ago I simply said that I enjoyed [I]American Beauty [/I] very well and then you tell me to f[I]u[/I]ck off. Now, it seems to me that right there you were the one that tried to start the fight with me.

that's a much better reason than your other one. I actually could have gone both ways between American Beauty and Aqualung, but I figured American Beauty has a better chance of beating out all those other albums that Aqualung does, so i went with it...power in numbers you know.

Yes ,I did start the fight. All you do in this thread is spam and make useless posts. This is one of the few threads on mx that is relativly spam free.

I ask you, are these really contributing?

JPJ, it's a shame you don't feel that way about American Beauty. But that's a good reason.

ooba dooba, it's because your posts are very short, random, and off topic. i'm not saying you don't have a right to be here, i'm just saying maybe you could go for quality, not quantity of posts..it isn't a race to see who can get more post count faster.

i have nothing against you personally, but Rock is good at spotting out useless spammy posts, and most of your posts are borderlining.


edit- and Rock, your links arent working for me...you might wanna check them again.

[QUOTE]voted for American Beauty...it's not brilliant, although I like it quite a lot, but I didn't really think the other options were all that great either. :-/[/QUOTE]

I disagree. If you ask me, American Beauty is an absolute masterpiece. Each song fabulous and different, and no disapointments. IMO

Well, I just bought...

Jazz is Dead - Lauging Water (Wake of the Floor tribute)
Jerry Garcia - Cat Under the Stars

I'm only 14 but the classic rock bands that i like are:
ac/dc
Jimi Hendrix
CCR
BTO
The Who
Led Zeplin
Van Halen
The Doors
Sultants Of Swing
Guns N Roses
Sammy Hagar
Elton John
Meat Loaf
Robert Plant
Neil Young And Crazy Horse
Cream
Stevie Knicks
Bob Seger

And to the guy who thought that the darkness were the only ones bringing classic rock back there is jet although i do like the darkness better, and i noticed that a lot of classic rock t-shirts are being sold in stupid stores like bluenotes and stitches so most of the kids that buy them dont even know anything about the bands so when you ask them questions about their shirts they look like morons.

nice bands there Thekolonel, I'm not really a fan of Sammy Hagar though.

I'm just wondering, when you say Stevie Nicks, and Robert Plant..do you mean their solo careers? Or the bands they were in?

And Badmoon is right...although there were some great albums on that list, none were on the same level as American Beauty. It's much more grand.

I would've thought you all voted for American Beauty, that's like one of their most popular albums because of all the hits on it. I like all the songs on it too, that is a masterpiece, one of my top tenners.

That was quasi-tough for me though I like that Pearl Jam one, nowhere near as good as American Beauty though. :amaze:

[QUOTE=thekolonel]Sultants Of Swing[/QUOTE]

Is that an actual band?

Maybe he means the Dire Straits?
