thoughts?

if you love Classic Rock then you have gotta love The Grateful Dead. such a amazing band!

I do see how you could say that among teenagers there is a revival of interest in classic rock. I see a lot of kids last year that listened to mainstream rock and punk who are moving closer and closer to hardcore classic rock fans.

In my highschool I think I was OG Classic rock, I was all about Led Zeppelin, Jimi Hendrix, Pink Floyd, and the Band going into eight grade, and got a lot of my friends turned onto that stuff. Now I'm going back further into jazz musicians, old blues players, latin jazz, bossa nova, and new stuff like the mars volta and modest mouse. A classic rock band that no one has mentioned yet that is absolutely stunning is Santana circa 1970. Abraxas remains one of the most genius albums ever made, even if his songs now suck you cant deny santana was a genius back in the day.

^ Actually Santana has been mentioned several times

The Grateful Dead anyone? *raises hand* ME!!

Favorite member - Jerry, then Bob...

Favorite song - *gasp* I like them all... my favorite ones for right now are "Brown Eyed Woman" and "China Cat Sunflower"...and all of the others

Favorite Album - Dicks Picks, Vol. 4 and American Beauty... and all of the others

thoughts? One of the best bands ever, they had a positive impact on everything. Can't wait 'till summer when I'm gonna be right at one of their concerts....


Edit: Hehe look at my post count 420 hehe...

^ Time for my input

Members - Jerry, Pigpen, Phil

Song - Cumberland Blues, Dire Wolf, Sugar Magnolia

Album - 1.) Workingman's Dead 2.) American Beauty, it's a close call

Thoughts - Fabulous, and beyond belief, and underrated.

Funny, I think it is only me and you (Vodoo) and Bonzo, that know and are really into The Grateful Dead on these forums. Though that is probably not exactly true.

I'd go for

member - jerry
song - truckin', uncle john's band, straw jack, sugar magnolia, and cumberland blues
album - american beauty
thoughts - no1 really underrates em, everyone i know likes em quite a bit...

it would be cool if we could do the same thing with my favorite band the beatles:

favorite member - George Harrison

favorite songs - penny lane, revolution, hey jude, here comes the sun, while my guitar gently weeps

favorite album - Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band

thoughts - easily the best band of all time. no other band was ever able to put together such a huge amount of songs of the quality that the beatles did. this is why the fab four will always be remembered as the greatest rock band of all time. i don't think anyone will ever pass them.

*gasp* MUAH TURNZ

Favorite Member - Gotta go with my man John

Favorite Song(s) - AAAHHH!!! Too...many...good...songs........Hard...to...choose
Yesterday(it counts), Ticket to Ride, There Are Places I Remember, Imagine All the People(it counts), I Am the Walrus, Here Comes the Sun, Day Tripper, Blackbird, Back in the U.S.S.R., fine, I'll shut up...

Favorite Album - Anything Revolver and past. More specifically ummm White Album

Thought: One of the best bands ever, incredible song writers, influenced music in a huge way, were one of the originators of rock 'n roll, and too many other complements...

The Spirit of Radio...from their 1978 album "Permenant Waves".

oo we could do that with random classic rock artists for the rest of this thread.

let's do it with the great led zeppelin next

favorite member - john bonham

favorite songs - the ocean, over the hills, stairway (duh), dy'er maker, bron yr aur stomp, and heartbreaker

favorite album - how the west was won, followed closely by IV and physical graphiti

thoughts - the ultimate hard rock band, they just did everything right. plants vocals can get under my skin though, but the instrumentals make up for it.

Okay (Keep in mind I don't care for them that much)

Member - Jimmy Page

Song - Misty Mountain Hop, Kashmir

Album - Led Zeppelin II

Thoughts - none

this would be awesome if we did it like a game, like the person who comments on the band then posts the next band to comment on . . .

^ I say we have atleast me, you (B0nz0), Frail, and perhaps Voodoo (maybe not because he isn't on all the time) each do then band, and then we switch the band.

The Jimi Hendrix Experience

member - well i dunno, HENDRIX!

Song - Voodoo child

Album - Are you experienced, Axis bold as love

Thoughts - Wowza!

^ I guess we could start up a new one

Member - Mitch Mitchel

Song - Fire, Killing Floor

Album - I guess [I]Are you Experienced[/I]

Thoughts - Jimi has a great underrated backing band.

^Mitch Mitchel was awesome. Hendrix was the reason why they were huge but everybody is always saying that hendrix was the only talent and that is just not true. Listen to some of Mitchel's backing drum beats and try and say that Hendrix was the only person who made that band good. As for the bass player, I can't even hear him :p

Member- Mitch Mithchell

Song- Little Wing, or Hey Baby

Album- Axis:bold as love

Thoughts- Jimi was a renegade, and changed what people thought was possible on guitar.

member - mitch mitchell

song - all along the watchtower, manic depression, purple haze, wind cries mary

album - are you experienced

thoughts - what a guitarist jimi was. great band. are u experienced is one of the few albums i can listen to straight through. i only wish he lived longer...

Please let's not keep doing this for ever. Well anyway.

Led Zeppelin.

Member- Jimmy page.

Songs- Black dog, communication breakdown, Heartbreaker, Rock and roll, The ocean, dazed and confused, Stairway to heaven, you shook me, living loving maid, Kashmir, Babe i'm gonna leave you, Over the hills and far away, Battle of evermore, Four sticks, whole lotta love, dy'er maker...

Album: Led Zeppelin (self titled).

Thoughs- They can rock and roll and also make beautiful acoustic songs. They use lots of different instruments and are for sure one of the most talented all around bands ever.

Jimi Hendrix Experience.

Member: Sorry Mitch but Jimi is my favorite.

Songs: Machine gun, Voodoo child, Purple Haze, Hey joe.

Album- Are you experienced?

Thoughts: Jimi is god. Wtf is the bass player's name anyway?

already did them?? didn't we?
EDIT:: led zeppelin that is

o well i'll go for the Allman Brothers

Favorite Member - Gregg Allman

Favorite Song - Whipping Post, Jessica, Rambling Man, One Way Out

Favorite Album - Live at The Fillmore East, Extended Edition

thoughts - amazing band. saw them sunday. best concert. ever. they still put on quite the show...

the bassist is named Noel Redding. he was really a guitarist who jimi persuaded to switch to bass at the last minute.

^ Yeah but is took me so long to think of all of my favorite songs for Zeppelin that about 5 posts had happened while I was making it.

Just post it then

I did, it is way back there. This thread just went up about 20 posts in the last 10 minutes.

Is everyone ready to do The Allman Brothers, if not just post what your on anyway.

Members - Dickey Betts, Duane and Gregg Allman

Songs - Blue Sky, Melissa, Ramblin' Man, their cover of Sugar Magnolia

Album - Eat a Peach

thought - They were a few years late for what would be the time period they would fit into well. They're a great jam band and each musician is fabulous.

I don't know them well enough to do one of these :(

I'll just start a side conversation on that stupid rolling stone'a 100 guitarists list. There is no freaking way Jack White and Kurt Cobain are better than Eddie Van Halen :angry:. And also notice how mostly classic rock guitarists and blues guitarists (which is like classic rock's brother) go on tha list?

^ I actually think they didn't do to bad. The flaws they did make were huge though. Some guitarists like Townsend, and Blackmore should have been higher. I'm glad they included Stephen Stills and Ry Cooder, they're the two greatest slide guitarists.

^^^^

Not trying to start an arguement, but what's so great about Townsend? I think he's a phenomonal song writer ("Tommy" is amazing), but as far as his guitar plaing goes I don't see what's so great about it.

But I agree that Blackmore should've been higher.

Well for one he did pioneer power chords. Of course he had great solos, and broke some grounds that were never thought of or have been explored. I'm sure there is more, but I cannot think them. I'm not sure about what place he deserves, but he should definatley be a above Cobain, White, Garcia, ect. Though Jerry Garcia is fabulous.

Speaking of The Who, I've been listening to "Live At Leeds" a lot recently. Classic.

Hence the term "classic rock", right?
