11.18.10 | No way is Billy Joel as good as Elton John, he did some good songs but never an LP as great as Goodbye Yellow Brick and I think Elton John has just wrote more great songs anyway. |
BigHans
11.18.10 | Starry, I think theyre both great, and pretty much equal. John gets way more love though which is why I put Billy on here.
Josh, FUCKIN RIGHT MOTHERFUCKER |

BigHans
11.18.10 | if you throw out the Nuge's politics you cant deny he has at least 10 essential songs |

11.18.10 | I started hating Mellencamp after "our Country" was played probably 8 times per football game, but its worn off.
And Jackson Browne has some stone cold classics. Doctor My Eyes and the Pretender ftw. |
Josh D.
11.18.10 | "if you throw out the Nuge's politics you cant deny he has at least 10 essential songs"

Funkadelic - Maggot Brain
Steve Miller Band - Greatest Hits
The Moody Blues - Days of Future Past

Ten Years After - I'd Love to Change the World is one of the best underrated songs ever. |

11.18.10 | The Band - The Weight.
TAKE A LOAD OFF ANNIE, TAKE A FUCKIN LOADDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD FOR FREE.

11.18.10 | The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down is the best "southern" rock song ever and it's done buy a bunch of Canucks. |

11.18.10 | Love's Forever Changes is one of the greatest ever albums. |
BigHans
11.18.10 | List needs moar THE HOLLIES.
LONG COOL WOMAN IN A BLACK DRESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS |

11.18.10 | you have to check out Forever Changes by Love. Robert Plant said it's one of his favorite albums of all time.
also, Love is one of the bands that influenced Pink Floyd. |
BigHans

xfearbefore
11.18.10 | Epic list. I cannot stand Billy Joel though for some reason. |
Jethro42
11.18.10 | Have you considered his essential:
Traffic - John Barleycorn must die
...prly not, since it's prog related :D |
starry
11.18.10 | I don't like that Moody Blues album so much, too many orchestral interludes. I prefer A Question of Balance. |
BigHans
11.18.10 | Jethro,
I just have Traffic's greatest hits. My faves are Dear Mr Fantasy and Low Spark |
Jethro42
11.18.10 | I could see you digging that album, Hans. It's more like folk rock. No weak songs in there. |
BigHans
11.18.10 | might have to acquire.
Do you like his80's pop stuff? Like The Finer Things, Dont You Know What the Night Can Do, Valerie, Higher Love, Roll With It, Back in the High Life Again, When You See a Chance, etc? |
Jethro42
11.18.10 | Higher Love, yes of course (airplay), excellent song. Not sure about the rest. |
BigHans
11.18.10 | shit, listen to this song.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K82nMSy-IWQ&feature=related |
AnotherBrick
11.18.10 | and oh ya. definitely needs ABBA |
BigHans
11.18.10 | lol I prefer Kool & The Gang for Disco |
Jethro42
11.18.10 | cool ballad, Hans. Reminds me of a Phil Collins' song, but I can't put my finger on wich one. |
BigHans
11.18.10 | It does have a Phil Collins vibe. |
Jethro42
11.18.10 | Comparing it with a Collins' song kinda reduced my interest, plus I dunno wich of both came out first.
:( |
Jethro42
11.18.10 | Yes it does. Traffic is the shit to me, tbh. |

Listen to this song if you havent heard it, its the best Van Morrison song IMO.

11.18.10 | I think you won Nag, its almost impossible to top that one. Ok, Ill give it one more try, but it wont beat the Beach Boys, but this song is sickeningly upbeat:

11.18.10 | Stevie is my lady. |
Fugue
11.18.10 | K good, just making sure. Where would you recommend starting with 1, 6 and 7? Should I just check out the albums listed or are there better starting places? |
Athom
11.18.10 | Stevie Nicks sounds like a goat. I like her and Christie McVie but neither are the greatest at anything |
BigHans
11.18.10 | for 1 just get their two Choricle albums. For Otis any greatest hits is a good place to start. For Willie, Get the Essential Willie plus the album listed. |
Jethro42
11.18.10 | goats would be happy to know it |
Fugue
11.18.10 | Lol goats. Kate Bush is better than Stevie but other than that I'm hard pressed to think of a consistently good female vocalist I like more... Judie Tzuke and Rickie Lee Jones are possibilities, personal preference obviously.
And cool stuf Hans, thanks. |
Athom
11.18.10 | Regina Spektor is my favorite female vocalist. |
Fugue
11.18.10 | Ughh I've been meaning to check her out like forever but I've never gotten around to it. I'll consider your post an official rec. |

11.19.10 | half of these are good half are over hyped beyond belief. |

11.19.10 | Neil Diamond and Simon and Garfunkel are hella overrated. In my opinion of course.
Supertramp needs some more love around here though |
reaganomics777
11.19.10 | Supertramp is fucking genius. Half of this list is overrated dad-rock garbage though. No offense, I just think a lot of "classic" 20th century music is terrible. |

11.19.10 | These albums all suck.
And don't tell me what to do. |

11.19.10 | Hell yeah Ted Nugent. Can't believe how little love Uncle Ted gets around here. |

Well, Simons albums charted before during and after Supertramp.
64-70 simon and garfunkle
74-06 solo = 42years relevant
every single album...
Supertramp charted with all of there albums between 74-87 13yrs relevant
I can see why Supertramp is a little under loved by some, Just sayin. |

11.19.10 | ''Supertramp needs some more love around here though''
Yes it does. It's one of the band I've listened to the most during the last 30 years.

11.19.10 | I personally dislike a lot of music from that time frame (75-90). Makes me think of Disco and hair bands.
I friggin hate hair bands!!! |

I was 100% expecting you'd picked up a Bee Gees song Nag, remembering your 100th review. |

DinoX
11.21.10 | Frank Sinatra owns.
But in general I don't really like classic music. Classic music already gets enough respect as it is, modern music is so greatly disrespected. |

11.21.10 | Neil Young? |

LOL. Nothing wrong liking some of the songs of ABBA, Eagle for example is brilliant.
"I personally dislike a lot of music from that time frame (75-90). Makes me think of Disco and hair bands."
There is alot of different kinds of music from this period, not just 'hair bands'. And disco has been the biggest influence on dance music from the 70s to now, and most people like some dance music.
"But in general I don't really like classic music. Classic music already gets enough respect as it is, modern music is so greatly disrespected."
I don't think that's any reason to dislike classic music. The problem for modern music is that probably most of the better stuff is lost underneath heaps of hyped crap. |

I concur and I can appreciate their place on the evolutionary chart however it is simply my least favorite time period for music. |
starry
11.22.10 | I wouldn't really see it as evolutionary, it's simply a style (among many other styles). And styles fall in and out of fashion all the time. And although you say you don't like 80s music some styles of the 80s have actually made a comeback in the 2000s. |
Pastor of Muppets
11.22.10 | Aside from Sinatra, Presley and Seger, this list is goddamn spectacular. The 70's had just as many great bands as the 2000's and 50% less bullshit. CCR, Tom Petty, Billy Joel, Boston, Deep Purple and the classic prog genius that is motherfucking Supetramp. Question, though, why did you pick the 3 least prog songs (Breakfast in America notwithstanding) from the band you called "better than most prog bands people fap over"? |

...Hans is not a progster. That being said, Supertramp is arguably the best band to get into the genre. Don't give up Hans =P |

Definition of Evolution: "A gradual process in which something changes into a different and usually
more complex or better form."
"I wouldn't really see it as evolutionary"
I was agreeing with you but I'm not sure where you're going here.
There is quite a bit of music I like from this time period (talking heads, REM, Police etc.) however
of the types of music I don't like a majority of them also come from this time frame.
Because of this I tend to view this time period as a "dark" moment in music that I personally avoid
for the most part. |
starry
11.22.10 | "Aside from Sinatra, Presley and Seger, this list is goddamn spectacular."
Sinatra sang alot of great songs. And Presley has been a bit overrated but he still had some decent songs.
"I was agreeing with you but I'm not sure where you're going here."
Evolutionary suggests some kind of improvement over time to me, art just changes over time I wouldn't say it gets better or worse. And I'm not saying disco is important for it's influence (that influence can be bad as well as good) but that it's important for it's actual achievement in the songs in that style.
Obviously we all have preferences for some styles more than others, though it's important to sample all styles perhaps so we can like something from all and see what can be done within a style. |
