Hmm...recommended songs from Zappa, Sabbath, Miller, Doors, Halen, Hendrix, CCR, Allman, Guess Who, and Bowie? Sorry, but doing searches on those songs takes a lot of time, and I've got an Anatomy test tomorow. The other ones I'm already very familiar with.

amen....

1988RedT2 03-01-2005 08:53 AM

Black Sabbath - "Fairies Wear Boots".... Yeah, whatever, this song ROCKS!

Doors - "When the Music's Over" and "The End"....I like my Doors songs long.

Van Halen - Van Halen II....The whole damn album.

inanimate_object 03-01-2005 10:12 AM

Now this is more like it - I like almost every band mentioned with the exception of the Doors - average at best IMO got their fame through drugs and not music. I can't see how the likes of Led Zeppelin will ever be repeated with the current state of the industry which is unfortunate.

I realize that we're talking about personal taste in music, and you are surely entitled to your opinion, but IMO Jim Morrison was the ultimate frontman for a rock band. He was charismatic, sexy, lewd, and a helluva singer and lyricist-poet. The rest of the band was good enough to pull it off.



And in case you missed it, drugs and rock-and-roll were pretty tight back then, with a little sex to make it all stick together. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683329.gif



Taken in context, the first Doors album was nothing short of a revelation. A pivotal recording in the history of rock, IMHO.







And have we forgotten the Rolling Stones? Another incredible band, but you really have to go back to their early stuff to get a full appreciation. Honky Tonk Women is still a great rock song in my book.

No offense taken. It WAS an era, and those days are long gone. But the music lives on!

Edna 03-01-2005 11:06 AM

The Beatles, CCR, Led Zepplin, Queen, The Doors, plus more but i can't think of names



If they sound good I like em

Il RX8 lI 03-01-2005 02:05 PM

I love the Rolling Stones as well. Honkey Tonk Women, Paint It Black, Brown Sugar, Jumpin' Jack Flash. All of those songs were/are fun to listen to.

Well I can agree to disagree, although in fairness I haven't been very patient with their music - obviously they did something right https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png. At least we agree when it comes to the Rolling Stones.



Back to the subject - why has nobody mentioned any of the Irish greats: the Horslips, Rory Gallagher, Thin Lizzy, Boomtown Rats... ?

rush was cool when i was like 12..... the early rush albums sound like zeppelin, the middle ones like 2112 are the classic concept albums, and the later ones are a little more poppy.



styx is ok.



iron maiden is good too, powerslave is a great starting point to get into them.



thin lizzy is pretty good, jailbreak is a good album.



pre unforgettable fire u2, is worth a listen, they used to have an agenda!



any david lee roth van halen album is awesome too, especially fair warning, eddie was pissed and you can tell!



keep in mind these classic rock bands are a lot more album oriented than bands are now so you're missing a lot buy just listening to a few songs here and there. especially with rush
