[QUOTE=thickasabrick]I suppose I started posting after you left. So you probably don't know me. I come in here quite often now.

Is Procol Harem the band that did that song Conquistador? Or am I thinking of someone else? That's a pretty cool song.[/QUOTE]

yea they did, but they're best known for whiter shade of pale

[QUOTE=B0nz0]yea they did, but they're best known for whiter shade of pale[/QUOTE]

Well I'd better hear that song then. You'd be surprised at how often Conquistador is played on my local Classic Rock radio station. To the point of being overplayed. I've never heard another song by them (I don't think).

So is Sha Na Na a good rock band? (I'm looking at your list) I know they did a bunch of songs on the movie Grease..I have the soundtrack. They weren't really like "rock" songs though...more just suited for the movie.

edit- I'm listen to Whiter Shade of Pale right now...I've definitely heard it before. I don't recall the words, but the melody is very familiar.

sha na na is very weird. they were originally a columbia acapella group, but one guys bro was a producer and turned them into a rock act. so they were basically a bunch of former acapella singers now with backing instruments performing mostly 50's songs in the 60's. they did play at woodstock and festival express, as well as opening for and then playing with janis joplin and the grateful dead quite often.

That's pretty cool. Any albums you would suggest?

And do you listen to/like Bob Dylan? I'm just wondering.

I got Bob Weir (of the Grateful Dead) - Ace today, so far so good.

Anyone know of any specifically good Dick's Picks...they were in the same box as Bob's cd, there were about 5 (this is in the used section so they were all around $13.) and they all had different song selections.

You may notice no one is around (cept me and bonzo). I don't have any suggestions for you. Does the Bob Weir album have only original songs, Grateful Dead ones? or both?

There preformace at Woodstock was so out of place, it made me laugh.

yea, they are very different from most other bands, especially of that era. i don't even know what bands to compare them too... everyone else at woodstock was all psychadelic and they got up in their ridiculous outfits and crazy choreography... funny crap.

They don't seem so out of place when you describe it. :lol: Although I understand what you are saying.

Cassidy, Black-Throated Wind, One More Saturday Night, Mexicali Blues and Playing In The Band are the GD songs on it, and then a few other Weir songs.

Yea I think Sha na na took a few (hundred) tabs of acid too many :lol:

[QUOTE=Badmoon]And of course there are more hugely popular Classic Rock bands that should be known forever. Like, The Who (My favorite). They make music like no other. Each member was fabulous, all craftman. Or The Grateful , who defined a generation, and started a long line of San Fransico bands. Or Crosby, Stills Nash, and Young. Who in many ways were the American, more talented Beatles. They had it all. For most Classic rock listens, that band is usually over looked, and The Grateful .

I recomend all Classic Rock listeners to listen to these lesser known Classic Rock bands

Buffalo Springfield, The Byrds, The Hollies, Blind Faith, Big Bro and Holding Company, The Mother of Invention, The Lovin' Spoonful, ect. There is just to much to name.[/QUOTE]


Canned Heat, jefferson airplane, woodstock era santana?? and are we all forgeting Jimi or is he not classic rock somehow?

Sounds cool. Does he have a style similiar to that of the Grateful Deads? Or does he put his own twist on things?

what are your thoughts on ELO
(Electric Light Orchestra)

Anybody got some suggestions for bands..

I'm into CSNY, Grateful Dead, Bob Dylan, Neil Young,..stuff like that.

[QUOTE]Cassidy, Black-Throated Wind, One More Saturday Night, Mexicali Blues and Playing In The Band are the GD songs on it, and then a few other Weir songs.[/QUOTE]

No, they were actually Bob Weir/John Perry Barrlow (+ 2 with Mickey Hart) songs, just like songs off of [I]Garcia[/I] are Jerry Garcia songs. But of course, they offer their songs to the band.

I like them, but i haven't listened to them enough to really get into them. DO you got any cd recommendations?

[QUOTE=ledpoisoning27]I like them, but i haven't listened to them enough to really get into them. DO you got any cd recommendations?[/QUOTE]


Greatest Hits Album...you can't go wrong with it. Evil Woman, Telephone Line, Mr. Blue Sky, Turn to Stone, and Sweet Talkin Woman are the s'hit.

You'll like the Band.

I need Mr. Fantasy anybody willing to post a song?

I like them a lot, Jeff Lynne is an absolute genius and unbelievably underrated. He should be as well known as all the people and bands he produced since he pretty much did everything for them.

I have 3 ELO Cds, all good, and they were not good live because their music was not meant to be played live.

They're very good. I was thinking of getting a greatest hits or something.

I'd reccomend Out of the Blue, Face The Music, and/or A New World Record if you can find it.
