[QUOTE=slowhand]But Lennon is still a guitar player. Syd Barrett made the list and he only play on one album. Lennon did some of the solos in the Beatles records too, and well.. he plays the guitar too.[/QUOTE]
Just because Lennon can play guitar does not mean he should be on there. Robert Johnson did good. :)

Didnt he get 3rd on the Rolling Stones list?

When you post the final list you should make a link of the Rolling Stones list so people can compare.

EDIT-Nevermind he got 5th, B.B, King got 3rd. He is the highest ranking person still alive.

EDIT-wow Jerry Garcia beat Jeff Beck on this RS list.

EDIT-This list is horrible

EDIT-Neil got 83rd :(

EDIT-John Cipollina got 32nd :)

EDIT-Oh snap! Gilmour got 82nd.....There's gonna be hell to pay :angry:

Good idea. I wish people would stop complaining. :(

its not your fault though. its the people on the site. kirk hammett my ***.

and my initial post on the topic was supposed to say that i was disappointed that so many people DONT think hendrix should be up there. because i think he should. and then the rest of it made sense. but yeah. hendrix, beck, and mclaughlin probably. or maybe clapton. this is gonna be tough.

Good, I was starting to think I was the only one who thinks Henrdix isn't overated or worthy of being top 3 material.

[QUOTE=Med57]Don't get your hopes up...having done two of these, all anyone will do is complain. :p I guess I can't really talk though. :-/ Anyway, our list of the top 100 albums turned out broadly quite well, so hopefully this will do the same as well. To whoever was talking about Syd Barrett, I think he appeared on one song on [i]A Saucerful Of Secrets[/i], with Gilmour playing on every other song.[/QUOTE]
Set the Controls For the Heart of the Sun I believe.

Hello, everyone. I'm still catching up.(I'm on page 1117:( )

Wow, I just put Zeppelin's "Latter Days" CD to copy on my computer and all of a sudden it started playing a live video of kashmir :D

i agree completely. i'd say hendrix def needs to be in the top 3 or 5

Heh, nice. Videos on cds are always cool :)

I never knew it had videos

I think my first unread was on 1004, maybe. I haven't been on much lately, so I haven't really been posting/reading regularly.

WELCOME TO THE CLASSIC ROCK THREAD

[QUOTE=Walrus Gumboot]WELCOME TO THE CLASSIC ROCK THREAD

:wave:

Back from Kansas.

[QUOTE]EDIT-This list is horrible[/QUOTE]

Yes, it has some major errors, but also contains some interesting and good picks :).

Kansas, eh?

[QUOTE=Walrus Gumboot]Kansas, eh?[/QUOTE]
point of know return?

boring state. band with a couple good songs (one great one actually)

They choked so hard in the NCAA tourney.

Carry on Wayward Son is the closest thing to perfect ever.

I am caught up now.

I can't believe I missed the Casey Jones sing-a-long.:(

I still need to check out the greatest guitarists poll thing.

How was Kansas, Badmoon?

I just saw the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductions earlier. Anyone else watch it?

[QUOTE=jpjrulestheworld]Carry on Wayward Son is the closest thing to perfect ever.[/QUOTE]
maybe not the closest ever, but it's up there

Ya I really like Carry on Wayward Son. It just includes tons of elements I like about songs.

edit- I'm actually pleased with the Guitarist list. I'm glad to see it isn't just the same old rock and metal guitarists. Tony Rice got seven votes! I'll be voting Hendrix.

But I'm not exactly happy how Tom Morello is almost doubling Hendrix in Round 1. I like Tom Morello, but he isn't better than most of the guitarists in that poll.

I might go to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame next weekend.

what do u guys think of traffic. i want to start getting into them more. i think i'm gonna go get the album "john barleycorn must die." is it good?

[QUOTE=B0nz0]what do u guys think of traffic. i want to start getting into them more. i think i'm gonna go get the album "john barleycorn must die." is it good?[/QUOTE]

They are one of my favorite bands. I personally prefer their earlier psychedelic stuff, like their S/t and Mr. Fantasy, but John Barleycorn Must Die definitely has no shortage of talent and musicianship. I'd say get it.

[QUOTE=lunch998]I might go to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame next weekend.[/QUOTE]

Take me with you...I wish. I already have plans for Easter/Easter weekend, and they don't involve the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.:(

[QUOTE=xxxRoCkJuNkiExxx]Take me with you...I wish. I already have plans for Easter/Easter weekend, and they don't involve the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.:([/QUOTE]

Do they involve old ladies?

Mine used to involve spending Thurs. and Fri. at Mt. Snow, but that plan fell through

maybe Sugarloaf :dreams:

hmmm who to vote for... hendrix, vai, allman, or neil young. i think someone should vote for fripp but against ppl like hendrix i cant. tom morello has way too many votes. i think of those hendrix and vai have the most skills, but i love young and allman, and i want to make sure all those 4 move on. so who to vote for?

Vote Neil. I doubt Hendrix or Vai are going to have any difficulty going through.

lol. My Easter plans don't involve old ladies.

I borrowed some Rush tapes from a friend this weekend. Which should I start with? Hemispheres, Hold Your Fire, A Show Of Hands, Roll the Bones, or Counterparts?

yea but i'd rather see allman than neil if i can only have one...

EDIT: is morello really that good or is he just popular?

I don't even know who Tom Morrello is or who he played for :upset:

Needless to say, I voted Young

[QUOTE=Walrus Gumboot]I don't even know who Tom Morrello is or who he played for :upset:

morello is from rage against the machine...

but is he really all that good or is he just popular with the metal heads?

[QUOTE]boring state. band with a couple good songs (one great one actually)[/QUOTE]

Very fun! My whole family was there (Which isn't odd, we all live in the same small town here in Illinois (except 2 exceptions)) and the wedding we attended was also fun. I really enjoyed driving through the country side; Eastern Kansas is nothing but huge hills.

My cousin told me some cool LSD stories and interesting tales from his past, also.

Can you post a sample from Mr. Fantasy?

How you guys enjoying group A?

Sounds like fun, I have a frined who moved from Kansas that said everyone there was trying to introduce her to Jesus (She has long blond dreadlocks dyed purple) so she was glad to get out

[QUOTE=Walrus Gumboot]my guess[/QUOTE]

i was asking ppl who might actually know the material. i mean some of them can be very good even if i hate the style...
