[QUOTE=thickasabrick]Anyone here ever wonder if Simon and Garfunkel would have been as successful if it were Simon and _____? (someone other than Garfunkel)

Honestly, Garfunkel didn't contribute much to the songwriting, and he wasn't as talented of a musician as Paul Simon. Paul Simon had good success even after the duo broke up, Garfunkel not as much.

What do you guys think? Could the same success be reached without Garfunkel? I'm not entirely ready to answer that question yet.[/QUOTE]

Their name has a ncie ring to it so I don't think anyone else could do.
I have a live recording of Harrison and Simon singing Homeward Bound, really awesome, Paul could probably work with anyone.

ok dinner time while you guys are debating your colleges. i'll be back at around 10

Simon and Dimebag Darrel?

I saw them play that on an SNL clip from the 70's

Harrison=God, or Jesus or something, maybe Krishna

[QUOTE=B0nz0]i have harrison and simon on here comes the sun[/QUOTE]

any1 could work with George Harrison... unfortunately not anymore... Harrison was just such a great guy and Paul Simon is such a great guitarist hes almost like Clapton in the fact that he can play any1's songs and make his own awesome songs

KRISHNA

[QUOTE=MYR]Simon and Dimebag Darrel?[/QUOTE]

*shudders*

And your right (not directed towards MYR), George Harrison can work well with just about anyone. He is one of the ultimate musicians.

[QUOTE=classicrockielzpfvh]KRISHNA[/QUOTE]

Hare Hare Krishna!

That's what I have, but mine is on a compilation I bet none of you have, The Romanian Angel's Appeal, organized by Harrison's wife. It is oozing classic rock talent.
I bought it for the Traveling Wilburys song so I could have every CD they were on, Ringo Starr and his AllStar band have a sweet song on it.

somthing remarkable has happened in my classic rock life. After not being able to see what is so great about the Who for years they have finally risen to be one of my favorite bands. I already have Live at Leeds and Tommy, but should I get the Who untimate collection? Is it a good? I know no greatest hits album is perfect, but I usually start with one to get a feel for the band and what album to buy. Though I got Tommy because I know not to take songs taken out of the concept album and put on a geatest hits album seriously.

Well, Pinball Wizard is put on basically EVERY Who Compilation ever.

I was about to get a Bob Dylan box set.

Edit: What's the track list, or give us an amazon link?

I've never heard the collection you speak of. Wait till some more regulars roll around, they all know more about the Who than I do. (I would have suggested Tommy and Live at Leeds). You might wanna look into getting Quadrophenia.

Quadrophenia or Who's Next for sure.

Edit: Yaaaay Happy 10th post for me

Quadrophenia is one of my top 5 favorite albums ever :thumb:

I did a review on sputnik (the only one that got through)

You wont be disappointed in the album. Its much better then tommy

Either of you go to Toad's much? I've gone atleast once a week for awhile....so many good shows.

[QUOTE=pigonthewing82]I'm from Bristol we own ESPN :) (but other then that suck as[B]s[/B][/QUOTE]

Yeah I'm from around Cornwall/Sharon/Kent etc. It doesn't really matter because we all go to the same school.. best Ag program in the state!

First person to point out the error in this post wins a prize! (it's quite obvious, but should spark interesting conversation)

Neil Young said that, not Cobain.

Stupid a hole

Specifically on My My, Hey Hey (Out of the Blue) on Rust Never Sleeps.

I really have to go down there sometime... I live in the middle of nowhere and none of my close friends are into the same kind of music I am so I can't get a ride. Neither of them are they stoners by any means either. I may be compelled to call them nerds *sigh*

Only a couple (twice I think) I don't go to many shows, none of the bands I listen too still have all the original members, and if they do none of the original members have their original hair.

So you're not considering UCONN?

I still need to get Rust Never Sleeps.

I really like that album.

Listen to it ALL the time on the site.

I know when I've reached the Neil Young section of my iTunes when I see all the high numbers. I play though his greatest hits cd all the time.

Helpless = 40 times played
After the Gold Rush = 47 times played
Only Love Can Break Your Heart = 46 times played
Heart of Gold = 42 times played

Brown Eyed Girl = 75 times played.

I like that song, a lot.

have ou ever heard "Cowgirl In The Sand" It's a new/old favorite of mine

[QUOTE=Walrus Gumboot]So you're not considering UCONN?[/QUOTE]
If some time in the future I get hit by a car and suffer brain damage, I'll check it out, but other than that I think I'll be going to a more pretentious school.

[QUOTE=Walrus Gumboot]have ou ever heard "Cowgirl In The Sand" It's a new/old favorite of mine[/QUOTE]

According to iTunes I've listened to that song 6 times.

If I listened to it 40 times, it would be 400 minutes of my life...woah.

I would rather go somewhere else but my folks are in that too rich for financial aid/too poor to pay for it themselves so I would have to pay for anywhere else but UCONN. I am hoping I can get into some Canadian school somehow.. maybe McGill or for god's sake at least somewhere where I can still ski :upset:

You should check out UVM.

Heh, McGill is like Yale, not too easy to get into.

EDIT, Nvm forgot about the non-state school ****.

And I just IMed my brother who said his friend got a 1200 on SATs and didn't get into UCONN, I guess it's changed since my older sis went there, she's 27 now.

You know what I just realized while listening to Tommy? I wrote a riff that is just like the one in Pinball Wizerd before I ever heard the song (only mine was two frets down). Dam at least I know the riff would have been a hit :p

I failed to mention I somewhat of a hardcore nerd..(Model UN etc.) some of my best friends are on the 3rd best Robotics Team in the country-- I am hoping for the smallest chance of getting into McGill
Yeah,UVM might be a possibility.. is it better acedemically than UCONN? The music scene MUST be better

EDIT: :eek: since where is UCONN hard to get into!?

That happens to me all the time. WHen i find a riff i think is awsome, it doesnt take long before i realize its been repeated on the radio 5000 times since its creation 30 years ago :lol:

I need to be more creative. This dam progressive rock isnt inspiring me enough! :p

Yea and whats weird is thats not the first Who riff that thats happened to me with. I must have heard that sh[B]i[/B]t in the womb or suttin.

I made a sample today...about 50 secs. Id upload if i knew how, but i swear the main chord sequence i made sounds so fimiliar its killing me...something i probably disregarded on a modern rock station. I cant stand that!

Lunch listened to Tommy in the womb.
