[QUOTE=Schyma]I find Cream to be hugely overated......

NP: The Byrds - Mr. Spaceman[/QUOTE]

You know I think a band is just as overrated as the fans make them. For example, I listen to Cream seldom, and talk about them only a little (I love them, though I just for some reason don't listen much), so I have not overrated them, in fact I probally underrate them. Though a band I listen to The Brian Jonestown Massacre (as I'm sure anybody on the site will tell you) I promote them like they are god, and I talk about their music as if they were the best. Do I overrate them? Yes. Does anybody listen to them? No. So are they overrated, no, but since I talk about them this much I overrate them.

[QUOTE=ArrestThisMan]Is The Sky is Crying a cover? I heard an early version today done by Bessie Smith.[/QUOTE]

The only version I've heard is the George Thorogood version. Sweet song though. Is the Bessie Smith version any good?

I don't listen to Cream that much.. I'm not a big fan

That's true what you said about bands being overrated Pigonthewing.

In someone else's eyes, any band can be overrated. It's just an opinion thing really. Because everyone has a different opinion on a certain band, therefore you can't generalize a band by saying they are overrated.

I was hoping someone would debate me that not state what overating means. :upset:

Edit: Man this houka is AWSOME!

Yeah man thats what I'm saying. I mean we classify music way too much. I mean overrated or underrated, classic rock, metal, or pop, a certain type of music will have a different effect on the lives of different people. We are not better then anybody else because we listen to classic rock, or because we listen to a band that nobody has heard of, our lives are just effected by different things then sombody who listens to Nirvana, or pop. I mean if they Brian Jonestown Massacre became huge tomorrow, everybody here would call me an overrated fan boy, though if they never got big people would think I knew a lot about music because I listen to an unknown band. The only difference I found a group that effected my life before everybody else.

What are you trying to say? Both in your original post, and your edited on part.

Sorry if I came out unclear. I said Cream was overated and I was hoping someone would defend them...etc. As for the edit I meant that my new houka is ****ing sweet.

I think that Clapton overshadows the other members too much. Its like Jimi Hendrix, he is a god on guitar, but he compleatly overshadows the other GREAT musicians in the band.

Clapton's name overshadows the other members.

If you dont know what a houka is its a water bong with 2 or more hoses. I have a shroom shaped one that's black and has trippy disigns all over it we call it "Gloomy Shroomy". It also came with a awsome little bowl too. 4 hits and you're blown. :D

Yeah mine is named Mr. Bubbles

I love that thing, the only problem is the weed kicks really quick on it, but it makes up for it because of how messed up you get. Sh[COLOR=White]i[/COLOR]t my parents just went to bed I might be using it in about 5 min with my sister.

Lucky, I wish I had some right now. :upset:

Yes, it's excellent. SRV does a version of it, too.

He's hard to pin down as a genre, but does anyone like Warren Zevon? I got his last album a while ago, and it's great:).

You know in one of those MANY bootlegs I own I have a Jimi Hendrix, Johnny Winter, and singing on two tracks, Jim Morrison, and they were all just jamming out randmonly. It was awsome. Jimi And Winter played a great version of Red House.

Johnny Winter - Rock Me Baby

Best song ever.

I love his work with Muddy Waters its really awsome! And he is still touring, like he came to my state last summer on tour.

[QUOTE=Canadian_Guy]He's hard to pin down as a genre, but does anyone like Warren Zevon? I got his last album a while ago, and it's great:).[/QUOTE]

Well, I'm he is at least Classic rock.

I really like him, though I only own a greatest hits.

Most can say that Jack Bruce and Ginger Baker weren't exactly overshadowed. Once you listen to Cream you can tell that.

yeah there are shirts everywhere in the stores with the old bands! rock on \m/

i think in actual musicianship, they were pretty equal but yeah, claptons name overshadowed the other two.

Now it does, but I don't think it did then.

[QUOTE=lunch998]Now it does, but I don't think it did then.[/QUOTE]
baker and bruce were definitely respected but neither of them were being called "god." its probably just the way that the lead guitarist gets more attention than the rythym section.

Yea, but in 1966 Clapton wasn't being called God either.

sure he was. it was after his stint with mayall that people started referring to him as that. it was graffitti in subways.

I haven't been here in a few days due to having a fiesta. I did get an iPod though which is pretty sweet. I also got a Grateful Dead patch for my poncho. Oh and the new Mars Volta CD which is awesome and better tham Deloused.

Poncho? You crazy Canadians :p

Well I'm stretching the word poncho.

[url]http://www.hippieshop.com/cgi-bin/gold/item/GR4232[/url]

It resembles this one.

Cool site. Oh yeah I also got the Crossroads DVD.

Oh yea, poncho-boy. That's cool though, if I was still a hippie I would get one.

Oh ok. I spell it hookah, I assumed we were talking about the same thing though. That's pretty cool that you have one, my parents have one (they don't use it anymore). It's about waist high and has four hoses, it's from the 70's. I tried using it but it doesn't work very good, none of the parts that connect are sealed very well and you can't get big hits off of it. I am thinking of buying my own though.

That's a cool poncho type thing Livewired. I was actually thinking of getting one like it, I'd want mine to have green on it though. I know a couple guys with them, and they look awesome. Certainly this is not just a Canadian thing? Ponchos are quite popular with girls here, a bunch of my teachers have them, same with some friends and my sister.

Some people here have them also.

That site had some cool band merch.
