10- The Eagles/Hotel California

First, we need to mention our favorite albums.

[QUOTE]No, it's fine if you vote for Jimmy Page. I just hope you would know the other writers on the list.[/QUOTE]
Page would win it, then Morrison, just listen to the lizard king, how he even came up with such an idea is unbeliveable really, then hendrix, then probbably Townshend or something
but thats cool man, look at my username:lol:

[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]

I think its because we've all heard so much about them from the zeppelin noobs.

Only ten? Geez. Well, here are my favorites...

Led Zeppelin - 1, 4
Jefferson Airplane- Surrealistic Pillow
Jimi Hendrix- Are You Experienced?, Axis: Bold As Love

In no particular order,

The Beatles-The White Album(probably #1 for me)
The Beatles-Revolver
Rolling Stones-Beggars Banquet
VU-Velvet Underground & Nico
Jimi Hendrix Experience-Electric Ladyland(probably #2 for me)
Pink Floyd-Dark Side of the Moon
The Doors-The Doors
The Doors-Waiting for the Sun
Bob Dylan-Blood on the Tracks
The Who-Tommy

There's some Jazz and R&B that I would have put up, but this is a classic rock thread.

My turn

Rush - 2112
SRV - Texas Flood

All I can think of right now...gotta go drink some whiskey..

NO! Electric Ladyland or The White Album.

Vote Electric Ladyland. You even have the cover as your avatar.

Have you herd Band of Gypsys? Its way better

Isn't Machine Gun on that CD? I love that song.

[QUOTE=Schyma000]Have you herd Band of Gypsys? Its way better[/QUOTE]

Yes I have, and Electric Ladyland is far better. And when I say far, I mean that Band of Gypsys doesn't even come close. In fact, Machine Gun is really the only song on there that can compete with the songs on Electric Ladyland.

Keep in mind you can list more than 10.


And check out my uber cool Mickey Hart avatar. :cool:

Would they count for the list? Because then we will have people listing every sngle album they own.

Well, they just kind of guide lines, and mentions. But the list will without a doubt reflect our favorites.

And you act as though you cannot trust anyone in this thread to follow my instructions.

all the songs on bands of gypsys can compete and are usually far better.
but it sounds totally different from each other. jimi did things with band of gypsys that he was not able to do with the expierience. and it has jimis most amazing guitar work. :thumb:

What do you mean? Are you making the list?

And, you should visit me and Miik :cool: (Not really)

EDIT: This is addressed to badmoon

No, we all are, that is if we even do. We just want people to mention there favorite albums so we can recall good albums. We should all try to come to a unanomous decision.

Most amazing guitar work, eh? Only Machine Gun, and the solos in All Along The Watchtower are better.

its not only machine gun(althought probaly the best track). have you even heard who knows or changes or power to love. all those songs have so much more emotion put into them. and are much longer and may i say better than those in all along the watchtower.

Band of Gypsies - Power to Love > All

^The timing of the drums, and Cox's yell are perfect. And then the following solo is amazing.

[QUOTE=keep on phishin']its not only machine gun(althought probaly the best track). have you even heard who knows or changes or power to love. all those songs have so much more emotion put into them. and are much longer and may i say better than those in all along the watchtower.[/QUOTE]

Yes, I have heard it, I own the **** thing. Look, Electric Ladyland has a fresh sound, he experiments more, and whats this about longer songs? I believe Voodoo Chile and 1983(A Merman I Should Turn To Be) are both over 13 minutes. I can't believe I'm having to defend one of the greatest albums in rock history.

i just personally find a single song on electric ladyland that beats anything on band of gypsys. i suppose its just a preference sort of thing. yes i like the songs on electric ladyland just i dont feel they are up to the standards of band of gypsys

Crosstown Traffic
Rainy Day, Dream Away and Still Raining, Still Dreaming
All Along The Watchtower
1983(A Merman I Should Turn to Be)
Little Miss Strange(It's a good song, admit it)
Voodoo Chile and Voodoo Child(Slight Return)
House Burning Down
Burning of the Midnight Lamp

How can you beat that????

Yea Burning of the Midnight Lamp does rule.
