Word to that. :D

Have you heard their cover of "No Quarter"?

Actually no i havnt.... Will get now...

DVG.

[QUOTE=i_am_Jimmy_Page]I wonder if that was directly aimed at me?
:rolleyes:[/QUOTE]

No, it's fine if you vote for Jimmy Page. I just hope you would know the other writers on the list.

[QUOTE=lunch998]Yea I always though Page/Plants lyrics were pretty good, but lately everyone has been ragging on them. I think it's "Come up with a lame reason why Zeppelin isn't great" month.[/QUOTE]

HEY!! I was ragging on LEd Zeppelin before it was a fad. And I did include him on the list, didn't I?

And everyone keep in mind I wouldn't be able to fit many entries. Jim Morrison, Brian Wilson, Joni Mitchel, George Harrison, ect. There's no room!!

George Harrison is a great songwriter, I love his solo stuff (especially on [i]All Things Must Pass[/i] and [i]Cloud Nine[/i]). "Something", "Here Comes the Sun", "Isn't it A Pity" are all great songs.

Bob Dylan has become one of my favorite musicians, simply for his brilliance. He may not have been a great singer all the time, but he had a way with words that kind of made you forget that.

Jim Morrison was a great poet too, interesting images he created and groovy beats.

I like Roger Waters, interesting insight on the human pysche and such. Haunting lyrics a lot of the time too.

I also fancy Axl Rose and Izzy Stradlin' - their work with Guns N' Roses was quite good, especially the ballads like "November Rain", "Estranged", "Don't Cry", and "Patience."

but there's no contest for #1. i mean come on. it's obviously dylan.

people who haven't been mentioned a lot though:
Paul Simon
Brian Wilson
Pete Townshend
Crosby
Stills
Nash
Young

I don't care for all of Dylan's lyrics. I think Townshend's equal. And I'm guessing most of you have never heard Robert Hunter. He beats them all.

[QUOTE=Robert Hunter]If my words did glow with the gold of sunshine
And my tunes were played on the harp unstrung
Would you hear my voice come through the music
Would you hold it near as it were your own?

It's a hand-me-down, the thoughts are broken
Perhaps they're better left unsung
I don't know, don't really care
Let there be songs to fill the air


(Chorus)


Ripple in still water
When there is no pebble tossed
Nor wind to blow


Reach out your hand if your cup be empty
If your cup is full may it be again
Let it be known there is a fountain
That was not made by the hands of men


There is a road, no simple highway
Between the dawn and the dark of night
And if you go no one may follow
That path is for your steps alone


(Chorus)

You who choose to lead must follow
But if you fall you fall alone
If you should stand then who's to guide you?
If I knew the way I would take you home[/QUOTE]

Those are fabulous.

Robert Hunter, didn't he write for Grateful Dead?

Yeah, usually alongside Garcia.

I'm saying it again, Lou Reed.

Actually, I think even David Bowie deserves a good mention. I'm a fan of his stuff.

[QUOTE=badmoon349]Yeah, usually alongside Garcia.[/QUOTE]
He had some good lyrics like "Box of Rain", "Touch of Grey", "Ripple", and the like. I just personally prefer Dylan's.

Then again, I don't think I've heard as much Dead as you probably have.

[QUOTE=badmoon349]HEY!! I was ragging on LEd Zeppelin before it was a fad. And I did include him on the list, didn't I?

[/QUOTE]
It's the fact that you actually explained why you didn't like them that made it all right :)

And I haven't seen too many people ragging on zeppelin.

BUMP!

You guys do 30 posts in this thread while I sleep. But when i'm awake nothing :angry:

I was brought up on classic rock and wouldn't trade it for any of the modern crap!

In the words of Ronnie James Dio,
"Long Live Rock And Roll"

:D

I'll have to agree.

Get the hell outta here ya crazy canuck.

;)

Classic Rock is the only reason i play guitar... i'll admit theres some really cool metal riffs and stuff but i don't like to play that...

My main guitar influence is jimi hendrix and also david gilmour from pink floyd..i remember i saw him in 1994 at teh division bell concert and i was only 5 but i still loved it and have been listening to pink floyd for almost 11 years now and many other classic rock bands for 5+years now too

I think badmoon got hijacked :eek:

We need something to make this thread funner. Someone come up with a list, or game we can all play and interact with.

Well there are only like 4 or 5 people who post in here regularly. I'm not sure what we could do...

How about rate the classic rock riff (guitar, bass or a well known drum roll or fill) above you?

[QUOTE=rock not roll]I think badmoon got hijacked :eek:[/QUOTE]

WTF! Don't you guys call each other "Cancuks" in Canada. Like Black people here refer to other Black people as "Brothas" or "Niggas"?


:lol:

I'm joking.

We can make some sort of list or do trivia.

What kind of list?

Maybe, greatest classic rock albums, or bands, or songs, or riffs, or guitarists, or...

I don't think we could do bands because that's a matter of opinon. Guitarists would be goo.d We could show rolling stone a thing or two :angry:

we could do bands, we'll vote.

I have an idea, I don't know if it's been done before, but you could start off by naming someone from the classic rock era Then take the first letter from their last name to name another person. Example: Robert Plant - Paul McCartney. What do you guys think?

[QUOTE=badmoon349]we could do bands, we'll vote.[/QUOTE]

We could do sort of like that top 100 albums thing. We could get a bunch of classic rock albums and make a thread. This could put the classic rock thread on the map.

no, I think some lists would be quite cool, and they would actually make sense unliked the rolling stone lists. So that means the white stripes cannot have a top ten album ever.

That's been done plenty, but good thinking :).

To: The guy two posts up


so, what kind of list?

i'm the guy two posts up. We could do a classic rock top 100, albums, guitarists, bands, songs...

How about top 10 albums now, and we'll work up.

I don't think it could be condensed into 10.
