Great Clasic Rock
« Reply #50 on: 31 Mar 2005, 13:15 »
A current band to look out for:  The Secret Machines.  They're sort of a combination of Led Zeppelin's pounding rock and Pink Floyd's soaring narcotic weirdness.  I must insist that you listen to it with headphones, however, as the album (Now Here is Nowhere) contains many a throwback to the left-to-right-and-back-again mixing of Pink Floyd.

Stevie Ray Vaughn is good, as is The Beatles, and the Who. Pink Floyd, CSNY, Bee Gees (Though i'm not sure they count as classic rock), Boston, Kansas, Chicago, Springsteen and the E steet band (Though Bruce hasn't been as good since "Born in the USA." After that he decided to be an "artist.").

The Rolling stones, man. Exile on Mainstreet may be the closest thing to a favorite album i've ever had.

I also intend to pick up the Traveling Wilbury's collection tonight. That's another great band.

I heard the song "Eight Miles High" by The Byrds for the first time this week, and man.. awesome. I don't know if their other songs are as rockin'

And I thought Mars Volta was doing something special with the fragmented guitar sound (see L'Via L'vsomethingquez).

Okay, first of all, screw the beatles...
Secondly...
I can't believe no one else has mentioned Supertramp.. I mean c'mon, Breakfast in America is friggin sweet!!!!
I suppose all the other relevant classic rock bands have been mentioned... maybe also have a lil' ZZ Top, Blondie (I guess they're kinda classic rock, more punk rock really), and some David Bowie (during his Ziggy Stardust era).

Quote from: Guy Smiley
CSNY are okay, but for what its worth, if you're looking for "more of this era but a little less "Popular" but still excellant," I'd highly reccomend delving into Neil Young's catalogue.  The man had probably the most diverse, fascinating, and uniformly excellent discography of anyone in the 1970s.

I was gonna mention Neil Young, but I just sorta packaged it with CSNY. Because is there anyone who likes CSNY who doesn't like Neil Young?

CSN?

Nobody seems to have mentioned CCR, so I'll do that now, and I don't recall seeing Chicago.
Santana?
Emerson. Lake, and Palmer? (Forgot about these guys the first time)
And they're a less known group at least here in the US, but Manfred Mann's Earth Band (They're primarily a live band these days, though I don't know if they've done much different stuff since like 2000... but who cares when they can still sell out concert after concert for at least mid-level venues in Eastern Europe? They played the NFL Europe Bowl Halftime Show a couple years back) Recommended albums for those looking for traditional "classic rock" would be Watch, The Roaring Silence, and Nightengales and Bombers.

I'm mostly happy with the stuff done as the Beatles, and I do like most of McCartney's solo stuff, though frankly, i've never got what people see in John Lennon's solo work. Lennon's solo work hasn't aged well at all, as it was such a product of it's time, lacking the timeless quality of the Beatles music.

This is going to sound cruel, and it's only my personal belief, but I think the title of Genius was only really bestowed on Lennon because of his death, and his past as a Beatle. I tend to think that if he hadn't died, and kept on going, he would eventually have reached the status of "washed up." I hate to say that about someone, but it's how I feel. Plus, being a craggy old right-wing conservative, I was never really happy with how he left his wife and son for Yoko.

At least the 13th Floor Elevators made it onto the first page.

I'm going to add The Soft Machine, Love, and Donovan to the list.

Though not classic rock, I have to say you should check out Gram Parsons and all he's connected to (The Byrds, The Flying Burrito Brothers). The MC5 are an actual rock group and they're great too.

Once, an engine attached to a train,
Was afraid of a few drops of rain.
It went into a tunnel,
And squeaked through its funnel,
And wouldn't come out again.

Also, if you like The Clash and/or The Who you should listen to The Jam.  They were a late 70s mod-rock revival band.
