Hey, while we're on the subject of Jim Morrison, does anyone have the songs he did with Hendrix?

[QUOTE=leppermessiah]I'll buy all the ablums once they throw them into the "2 for" or "3 for" deals. I have almost done that with the Beatles. I now have Rubber Soul, Sgt. Pepper, Let it Be, Abbey Road, and Magical Mystery tour. ;)[/QUOTE]
Yeah Doors albums are always 3 for $20 which is amazing becasue Beatles Albums are usually $19-$22 each.

Except I did find a $30 for 2 Beatles albums sale once and I bought MMT and Revolver.

ya i've bought all my beatles albums in the 2 for 30 deals, except magical mystery tour, which is a vinyl. Where i live Beatles albums are like $25 each!!! The White Album is $29!! I was pretty happy though finding the doors and clapton in the 2 for 25 section.

Was that at HMV? I think I saw that sale when I was in Ottawa, my sister wouldn't stop bitching becuase she could have gotten With the Beatles and Yellow Submarine on DVD for 30$ and my dad wouldn't buy it. Yeah.

Mine was at HMV..

[QUOTE=Livewired]I bought the best of the Doors.......than I bought all the albums.

*sigh*[/QUOTE]

I've bought too many compilations in my day. :upset:

[QUOTE=Badmoon]I've been listening to [I]Workingman's Dead[/I] lately (I'm trying to cover "Cumberland Blues"). And I realized that this is one of the few perfect (IMO) albums I have ever heard. Which would hold a position that Dr. John's [I]Gris-gris[/I] and Calexico's [I]Convict Pool[/I] also hold.

Do any of you have albums that you think are perfect (as in every song is fantastic and definitely 5/5)?[/QUOTE]

I would have to say [b]DSOTM[/b]. The songs just flow so well together, and it has the same great mellow mood.

This is not classic rock, but the Mars Volta's [b]Frances the Mute[/b] has to be one of those perfect albums. I just love what they're doing.

And as for a Beatles one, it would have to be [b]Abbey Road[/b], though some of the songs are bordering, and depends on the individual's thought and preferences a lot.

I haven't listened to this release, but most people seem to think the exact opposite.

[QUOTE=Jebediah]I haven't listened to this release, but most people seem to think the exact opposite.[/QUOTE]
this is true, but i tend to think of those people as a bit less exposed to prog like me and (im assuming here) slowhand. deloused had catchier, shorter songs, whereas frances is more experimental. its cool. im undecided as to which i like best.

I think All Things Must Pass is **** near perfect

I've never thought about it like that and now that I think back, most of the people who bashed the album weren't really into prog. music. I may have to check this album out.

[QUOTE=JonG]If they would come anywhere close to here I would too..

I'm seeing Tom Petty and the Black Crowes(opening act) on July 18.[/QUOTE]

I wish I went to concerts :(

Have fun, that'll be one hell of a show :)

I think Sgt Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band is the most perfect album of all time. I love the way all the songs flow. I love the way they almost tell a story (depending on your interpritation it could be a concept album about the life of Billy Shears). A Day in the Life is an amazing closer. It is such a mood shift from Sgt Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band (reprise).

I would agree with you if I couldn't say this about most Beatles albums. I figure it goes without saying :D

Hye, wanna bump the Beatles thread? I's at page 5 or six by now

A Day in the Life is an awesome song, but SGt. Peppers never did that much for me. I think it's usually so high on lists for influence rather than song quality. Sure it's got some gems, but there are certainley more consistent albums out there. I think Are You Experienced might be perfect considering every song is good. I care less about flow, more about overall song qualities.

Sgt. Pepper's never did a whole lot for me either. I still respect it and give it a listen everynow and then, I'm just not in love with it.

I think Animals, Blood on the Tracks, DSOTM, Highway 61 Revisited, Live '75 by Dylan, Live at Leeds by the Who, Plastic Ono Band, Rubber Soul, The White Album, and Wish You Were Here are all perfect or very close to perfect.

I think Tommy is close to perfect, but I'm such a hardcore fanboy of the album that my opinion is irrelevant.

I was very tempted to put it in, but it does have a couple of weak songs, and some short, unnecessary songs. I did include Live At Leeds though, and was talking about the deluxe edition with Tommy performed. I think that live version of Tommy blows away the album and is perfect.

Yea, but I think the number and length of all the fantastic songs easily outweigh the 20 second annoying songs.

And I remember being obsessed with the Live at Leeds Tommy, but now I find that I prefer the studio version more. At Leeds there is unquestionably more energy, power, etc, which is appealing to most people. But the studio album has a different quality to it, I find it hard to explain. There's more feel and melody, it's more musical, sort of the way operas are meant to be.

The live version is still incredible though, don't get me wrong.

I listened to [I]Allman Brothers: Live At The Fillmore[/I] today. I forgot how good that album is. Man, I can't wait to see them.

When are you gonna see them?

The short ones are just there to advance the plot, they probably could have bben added on to other songs, but it flows well so I don't really mind. I find that Tommy combines flow and excelent music better than many other albums.

I see how most of the short ones work, but similar to The Wall, some of them are just unnecessary, like Tommy Can You Hear Me?

Most will disagree, but I honestly think Eat a Peach is perfect.

EDIT: Well, I sure know how to kill a thread :(

Concerts in Daytona late june
 

Hi,

I'm going to Daytona Beach, FL, late this june to visit a buddy of mine. Does anybody know of any concerts, festivals or venues worth going to at that time down there? Not necessarily classic rock, though, anything with a good guitar is good...

Thanks.

I found out something the other day that I never knew before..I was looking at the booklet of my Tom Petty cd-full moon fever- and apparently George Harrisson sings backup on one, maybe more of his tracks (Won't back down i'm pretty sure is one of them). I'm not entirely sure why this amazed me, but it did nevertheless.

Have you guys heard Dinosaur by King Crimson?

lol, i still haven't heard any king crimson.

[QUOTE=ArrestThisMan]Have you guys heard Dinosaur by King Crimson?[/QUOTE]
yep. cool song. its off of thrak isnt it?

Hmm I'm not sure which album it is on. I just love that song.

I think the only King Crimson song I've heard id 21st Century Schizoid Man. I enjoyed the song, but I don't think that I would really like them that much. To be honest I'd probably only buy one of their albums to hear Tony Levin play. He's supposed to be an amazing bassist so I'd like to see what he can do.

Hello, im new here and my favorite band is the velvet underground. I guess that goes under this thread. So I was wondering if people here like them, because not many people i know like them.
What are your thoughts on the velvet underground?

I enjoy what few songs I have heard from the Velvets.

/puts them on


They were incredibly influential, and very versatile. Unfirtunatley, there were so not mainstream that I almost never hear their songs. I've been wanting to buy VU & Nico for a while, but, I have no money.

Nico is currently up in the Alt/Indie YouSendtIt thread.

I only have VU & Nico, but I really like it. Heroin is an awesome song.

If you are more of a mainstream person, i think you should buy either their self titled album or their "loaded" album first, they are more conventional rock albums.

I'm not mainstream at all really. I was just pointing out that it took me a while to discover them because they get basically zero airplay. I don't care how much it gets played as long as it's good music.

I have very little VU, but love what i do have. Oh Sweet Nuthin' is amazing. Great song.
