How could Pink Floyd not be one of the 11 bands on this list? The author has no credibility whatever.
I have never been a Jimi Hendrix fan at all and sometimes think he was a bit overrated.
Personally I think Duane Allman could have smoked him mano a mano. But that is one we will never know.
re: “Oh sorry, I thought you were a fan, because you spoke and speak like a fan, and not to my ear like a musical scholar.”
I guess this just shows that ANY thread, no matter how light the topic, can turn into something unpleasant. I apologize for my part in it as well. There are way, WAY, too many other important things to get worked up about. This isn’t one of them.
I was in the 9th grade when the Beatles invaded the United States and ruined real Rock & Roll. Never had no use for these overrated acid freaks. They stole their music and lyrics from American singers, notably Buddy Holly. Early Beatles tunes sound exactly like bad Buddy Holly. They stole from the Everly Brothers, the most underrated singers of all time. They turned America’s youth into don’t give a damn pot heads, and were the inspiration for the Vietnam draft-dodgers and the entire “anti-war” movement. Our brothers in Vietnam died as a result of draft-dodgers protesting the war and the chickensh*t democrats cut and running. It all happened because of the Beatles. The Beatles were the worst thing that ever happened to American music, and American society.
the beatles were all about....rebelling.
It took me many years to come to that understanding.
A video that I believe to have posted in this thread did a fine job of deliniating their whole schtick.
Everyone I know ...grew beatleboy haircuts....etc..etc..being rather naive and not that well directed teenagers at the time.
Speaking of their haircuts, they copied Moe Howard on that. I don’t think they did anything original.
they were The Monkees....before the Monkees copied the beatles!
a media event
You missed my point. I’m NOT talking about actual recordings, I’m talking about the music itself.
You’re nuts
Man the shit conservatives say here....
Indeed
Though they were hardly my favorite
They plowed the field ....Beatles and Dylan...the two biggest at the time
My wife and I just spoke of this tonight
My favorite Beatles song was not on an album
Whenever I talk about the song she finishes my thought about not on album
There are scores of bands I like better....
And this notion led Zeppelin is not worthy is utter poppycock
OK...they lifted a spirit riff...Taurus I think....for stairway
And expounded on blues number
So did a legion of players and they took those songs and improved them...made them more powerful and dynamic
Very few bands never cover and these bluesmen
From my home ground BTW....they got inspired or lifted from someone too
Musicians do that
When the Levee breaks by LZ versus Minnie’s... no contest
Traveling Riverside Blues may be one case....where I prefer original hat tip Mr Robert....but LZ version is no slouch
I was there...born 57....I grew up as all this unfolded
Freepers God love em are just daft
They don’t know music.... they are like O Reilly....and his love of pop
Freepers like one size fits all dogma about culture.... race...religion....drugs....sex....and so forth
Must be amusing to watch us
For the record....most play on Raphsody or YouTube right now for me in my Silverado
Black Sabbath one thru sabbath bloody sabbath...the originals
Zappa....overnight sensation
Hank III......top tracks
Marshall Chapman newest album
Boo Ray....whatever I can find
Choctaw bingo....highest rotation....Larry’s boy can craft a song
Eagles...certain kind of fool
Waylon....most anything
Pink Floyd WYWH
Miranda Lambert....anything
Grateful Dead..... anything thru Mars Hotel..they died with pig not jer
Buck Owens...rockier stuff
Hole....yes..a guilty pleasure
Townes VZ....if you don’t know then I can’t splain it
Rolling Stones....beggars.... exile...yayas....sticky...let it bleed...some girls...their best work
Lou Reed ....rock and roll animal...hunter and Wagner
Pink....yes...I think she was the best of that ilk
Jack white....specific guitar works...
Buck Cherry and Rob Zombie...cause I’m randy..and old
Pre MTV Robert Palmer.....
Warren Zevon and waddy...
All that dominates my playlists right now but can change...
Now how many here have a clue what I’m talking about
“Same goes for the Beatles, they created something that wasn’t there before.”
Really. They weren’t great — pretty basic — but they started a new era. This thread cracks me up; talk about over-analyzing a topic.
We started to watch the TV special last night about the Beatles’ invasion of USA on Ed Sullivan. It stank to high Heaven, and when some Katie Perry person started caterwauling “Yesterday”, our ear drums couldn’t take any more abuse. (Almost turned channels earlier when the affected twit Johnny Depp made an introduction.) The producers made a big mistake by featuring so many contemporary artists (and I use that term loosly) who have no clue about ‘60s music. Simply dreadful.
Lol
Zep primary has their fans in a certain Demographic.
Chicks really aren’t that into Zep for the most part.
The Beatles’ appeal crosses a lot more demographics. That’s not to say ones’ music is better than the other. The Beatles were a boy band, hard rock band, and power pop band, all rolled into one.
LOL- yup; only Zeppelin fans care about those songs...meanwhile there were 20 million worldwide ticket requests for the 20,000 available tickets at their 2007 reunion concert...
you make lotsa sense...
i agree with you; the thought Led Zeppelin doesn’t measure up is utterly mindless...
LOL- and what’s that demographic?? everyone from the ages of 8-to-88??
who do you think kids in high school listen more to these days?? Led Zeppelin or the Beatles??
don’t take my word for it- grab any HS yearbook, look at the senior write-ups and see which band is mentioned more...
At least I hope we’ll never have to endure Katy Perry butchering a Led Zeppelin song.
Oh no doubt high school guys are more into Led Zeppelin than the Beatles. At least the ones who don’t primary listen to Top 40 crap.
