Classic Rock

[LitNetIsGreat]

Come on let's have some classic rock right here - for kicks. :cornut:

Get the leather jackets out.

Deep Purple to kick off - Child in Time.

(My dad's got this LP; love the front cover, brilliant.)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w9TGj2jrJk8&feature=related
Led Zeppelin - Stairway to Heaven.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QQBttKoetqo
Black Sabbath - Paranoid.

[Idril]

There are so many classic rock songs that are better than this but for some reason, it's the first one that came to mind. I always enjoyed this one when it came on the radio.

[The Comedian]

For me, classic rock is this song -- there are others that are good, even great. But this is it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N_5kv8QeBBc

[Veho]

Van Halen - 'Love Walks In'

Aerosmith - 'Janie's Got A Gun'

I love Heart too. Some girly classic rock!

I don't know if Pink Floyd are classed as classic rock? :s I guess they are classic and rock. 'Comfartably Numb' is a fab song but I need more PF recommendations because I've only just started listening to them.

Boston - 'More Than A Feeling'. I thought I didn't like it because of that bank advert put me off but it's a great song actually!

Great choices everyone else too. Can't beat a classic rock song played full-blast!

Van Halen - 'Love Walks In'

Aerosmith - 'Janie's Got A Gun'

Neely, you better grab hold of the reins and define what you mean by "Classic" rock.
Veho, I'm having a difficult time placing Van Halen and later Aerosmith in the Classic category.
Maybe it's a generational thing (grinning smilie here).

We can all agree that disco is out...

Haha, I realised when I posted that they weren't really classic in the sense Neely meant but I posted anyway. I think it must be a generation thing! More things must seem classic when you aren't a wrinkly. :p

What about Guns N Roses? 'Sweet Child O' Mine'?

Ha, ha sorry. People have my express permission to post what the hell they like - that's the rock and roll attitude!

Yes I love The Kinks, brilliant. I started a post mentioning The Kinks (as well as The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Black Sabbath) last night but it got too long winded and alas I didn't finish it. They have some great tracks.

Yes I'm not defining classic, read "classic" as "good". Bad choice of title, my error.

Oh, yes now we are talking with this:

:coolgleamA:

That's me biking down to play tennis on my push bike, cruising at 20 mph. Seriously though, does that song not define the word cool? That link should go next to the word in the dictionary.

[MarkBastable]

Oh, yes now we are talking with this:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rMbATaj7Il8


A mate and I, both going through messy relationship meltdowns, decided to get the hell out of England for a couple of weeks, and we landed on the island of Patmos in the Aegean - which is just a pointy rock sticking out of the sea, run by the monks from the monastery built around the mountain cave in which St John is purported to have written the Book of Revelations.

The only way to get from the town on one side of the island to the beach on the other side is to hire diddy little mopeds, but the hire place only had one left. So the two of us, both well over six feet tall, got on this thing, kicked it to top speed and headed up the mountain road in our shades and faded 'Stoned Again' t-shirts.

It was a moment of happy, youthful, unselfconscious bliss, not at all deflated by the fact that, as we revved the moped to its limit and sang Born To Be Wild at the top of our voices, we were overtaken on the upward slope by a nun riding a pushbike.

[LitNetIsGreat]

:lol: Fantastic story.

[Paulclem]

So many fantastic classic rock tracks. I really like this one. Hendrix's All Along the Watchtower.

[Paulclem]

This one's intro always makes my hair stand on end - Shelter by The Rolling Stones.

Led Zeppelin - Stairway to Heaven.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QQBttKoetqo
Black Sabbath - Paranoid.

Stairway to Heaven is brilliant, but here's a couple of other versions:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IPOIy4Kb9M4

by Rolf Harris

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IzDEmkfb6VI

By Far Corporation, which is a more conventional rendition. This version came out in the middle 80s, and it hit a new wave of young rock kids who weren't aware of the original.

[LitNetIsGreat]

I've never heard of Far Corporation. I thought it was OK, very close to the original, up until about halfway when the obvious 80s influence kicked it and then it went bad. I've heard the Rolf version before! You are right though there are plenty of good rock tracks out there (and of course some very bad cheesey ones).

[Sancho]

Hey, I’m getting a “Content Blocked in Your Country” message on one of Paul’s Stairway selections (I’m in the U.S.). Must be a copywrite thing.

Mmm-hmm, relationships eh?

I call him Mister Loaf. Paradise by the Dashboard Light:

http://youtu.be/ZK-FRac7m58

I couldn’t take it any longer, lord I was crazy
When the feeling came upon me like a tidal wave
So I’m swearing to my god and on my mother’s grave
That I will love you ‘till the end of time
I swore I would love you ‘till the end of time

~~~keyboard and drums~~~

So now I’m praying for the end of time, to hurry up and arrive
‘Cos if I gotta spend another minute with you, I don’t think that I can really survive
I’ll never break my promise or forget my vow, but god only knows what I could do right now
I’m praying for the end of time, that’s all that I can do – whoo –whoo
Praying for the end of time, so I can end my time with you

Jethro Tull Minstrel in the Gallery live 1976

I love the costumes of the 70's and the showmanship. Excellent performance all the way through! Always loved this song much better than Stairway to Heaven for some reason.

[Veho]

As seen as Neely has let us go wild, I'm going to throw some Madchester rock in the mix.

The Stone Roses - 'Waterfall'
www.youtube.com/watch?v=7uQMqsWsGtA


I can't watch/listen to many of the videos as I'm not on proper Internet at the mo, but some good songs here and some others that I need to listen to too. Like The Rolling Stones - never listened to them properly. And The Kinks. And Jethro Tull. :blush:

M.Bastable - that story paints a really funny image in my head with the nun part! Great.

[MarkBastable]

I'm not sure that the Stone Roses' charming faux-trippy psychedelia really qualifies as Classic Rock, within the meaning of the Act. But enjoyable, nevertheless.

I was going to post exactly that clip of Free - not my favourite band of the era, but you could make an argument for that being the quintessential British rock song, although there's some strong local competition.

In the Netherlands, on the other hand, there was very little competition at all...

True, but Neely said:

The Stone Roses are classed as rock and they're good (IMO ;)), so I mentioned them.

You're right about defining classic rock. I posted that clip because I reckon nothing beats a good old set of drums with bass & electric guitar (plus some long haired, bearded sweaty men!). IMO, it meets the criteria!

I'm pretty sure that you could find pervier with about ten minutes concerted effort. Although I'm prepared to put in three or four days.

Is it made more or less pervy for knowing that that's Steve Tyler's daughter climbing out of the window?

Your dedication to the cause is most admirable.

Yes I remember it is his daughter now and the other is Alicia Silverstone. I think it's very tongue-in-cheek anyway.

How about this one to add to your bike adventures? (Not the original recording apparently.) I can just see that nun now - zoom, zoom.

There is no topic that could ever be 'lacking a little Def Leppard', unless the topic was 'to which tiny, featureless and unmapped outcrop of uninhabitable rock in the far South Atlantic shall we banish Def Leppard?'

While in theory a tiny bit of me tends to agree, another part knows Def Leppard had some pretty decent tunes in their early years.

:lol: :lol:

I used to adore Def Leppard, also from Sheffield, when I was at school, when I was 14/15 or so. Then they sold out after Hysteria and went pop - always massive cheesy rock though. Now they are probably sat on that uninhabitable rock in the South Atlantic next to Jon Bon Jovi! As Papaya said though the earlier stuff, was proper rock rock, classic rock - the leathers and spandex variety of rock - yeah man.

This one in my opinion is the best and most underrated of the aforementioned proper spandex period. Hysteria being probably the best in the latter half. Enjoy!!

I feel the need to purchase Union Jack Y-fronts right now.

Edit: Geek tit bit: the swimming pool on the front cover of the High and Dry album (the one with the really bad image of the man driving in the pool) was taken from Longley park, which lies about 200 metres from my house. The outdoor swimming pool has long since been closed down though. Council cut-backs even then.

[LitNetIsGreat]

Oh what about Thin Lizzy?

Whiskey in the Jar
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0zEZriQOA2o&feature=related

There are endless versions of this old song of course, including a version by Metallica!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=axQzEYq8ucM

This song is guaranteed to be played in about every Irish pub every night. It was about the third song played by an Irish band when I was in Dublin supping Guinness a few years back, predictably. God, I got drunk that night!

Ooo, Ace of Spades, that is bum kicking rock. I think Lemmy has toured constantly for about the last 40 years, I don't know how he does it. He doesn't age. He also loves cheese, English mature cheddar, maybe that's his secret?

I like Thin Lizzy, but the opening line:

"Tonight there's going to be a jailbreak somewhere in this town" always makes me think - er, that would be the jail then.

Of course I know that jailbreak may be a metaphor for breaking conventions etc, but then even that's a bit much. Phil - good guitarist and all that, looks about as Bad as Michael Jackson did.

I've never heard much of Lynyrd Skynyrd, but this one came up after the Blue Oyster Cult one I posted (great track that). Simple man.

I've always liked Thin Lizzy. I'd've killed for Scott Gorman's hair. And it's very difficult not to have a soft spot for Lemmy.

Unless you're all extremely nice to me, I shall post links to my occasional band doing live covers of some of these songs.

As to the Lynryd Skynyrd track, it's exactly that kind of downhome, sunset-on-the-stoop, apple-pie and root beer philosophy that causes me to bring up my breakfast - which, as you ask, consisted of lightly-scrambled eggs accompanied by oak-smoked wild Atlantic salmon and chives, with vodka-infused shallot marmalade and an insouciant spoonful of Beluga caviar.

That's either a very fine breakfast or a very imaginative lie and an interesting way of saying you don't like that track.

Ah yes. The sweet flower of youth. You always remember your first time, don’t you? Mine was in a 1964 Ford Falcon that I bought for 300 dollars from The Kar Korral in San Angelo, Texas. It was a sweet ride. It had a two-tone paint job (primer paint red and primer paint gray), a Mexican-blanket interior, and was so out of true that when I drove it on a wet street and looked at my tracks in the rear-view mirror, I saw 4 instead of 2. Not too sure how I ever got anybody to go out with me in that heap.

Oh, yes, the girl – I forget her name. Joking, joking, it was… hey, hey, hey, I’m a gentleman, I never kiss and tell. This may have been on the radio:

Sancho, I have to admit I was never a huge fan of Skynyrd. I like "Call Me the Breeze" well enough though.

As for ZZ Top (formely the "Moving Sidewalks") I always enjoyed "Waiting for a Bus / Jesus Done Left Chicago", especially the transition.

Some more Southern rock from the Allman Brothers

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K7A2acBVENA

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7TVTNl2C2iw



Those guys still get a lot of airtime around here, so much so that I’ve probably heard their standards too many times. But If I had to name a favorite, I’d have to say it’s Mountain Jam on the Eat a Peach album. It hasn’t been overplayed on the radio because it’s too long, a half-hour or so. It was recorded live at the Fillmore East in New York in 1971. During the last half of the jam, after a long drum solo by Butch Truck and then a bass solo by Berry Oakley, Duane really hits his groove. He was killed in a motorcycle accident not long after Fillmore shows.

The Allman Brothers were one of the bands that helped save the Fabulous Fox Theater in Atlanta – in my humble opinion, one of the best music venues in town (for when you want to sit down, anyway) so, my thanks to those guys for that.

Thanks Sancho. They don't get much play in the UK. A mate of mine introduced me to them in the 80s. He had Eat a Peach, but I don't recall hearing this one. I've liked them ever since. Mountain Jam doesn't disapppoint.

My mate felt an affinity with The Allman Brothers band as he had lost a brother as well.

Glad you liked the track, Paul. I may try to find the BBC special on line somewhere, if for no other reason than for a nostalgic trip. I grew up with Southern Rock, and in the South, but I don’t think I was ever all that taken with either one. Still today, in certain parts of town, like around The Atlanta Motor Speedway, you can hear Bands like Skynyrd and Molly Hatchet being pumped out of Bubba-Trucks by huge subwoofers – makes me kinda nervous, if you want to know the truth.

The Allman brothers were a stand out, though, and not really even in the same category, in my opinion. They’re still around, by the way, as well as a couple of side projects like Gov’t Mule:

Soulshine: http://youtu.be/nf0BNlYY_RA

At any rate, I suppose with Southern Rock, as with British Rock, there was a lot of cross pollination. Speaking of which, I believe Eric Clapton and Duane Allman were close friends. (Duane played the slide-guitar part on Layla)

[Darcy88]

Tom Petty. He's one of the most under-rated musicians of all time. He should be mentioned along with Zeppelin and almost any other premiere rock act. For real, several of his albums are masterpieces of popular rock, song to song, the entire albums golden through and through.

The fact that Aerosmith is more popular than Tom Petty is a wonder and a crime to me, and I like a lot of Aerosmith.

I’ve always been suspicious of ranking systems, particularly when applied to art. A rank-ordered list begs the question: says who? I suppose we could use a critic’s poll, but then those guys are a strange and jaded bunch (and many times they’re frustrated artists with an axe to grind). How about a peer ranking system? That sort of system has its own problems, and frankly I’ve seen musician’s polls that have come up with some of the weirdest lists of all. Well, okay then, how about a broadly disseminated popularity poll? Mob Rule, or The Tyranny of Democracy comes to mind. Or worse yet, for a piece of music to be widely popular probably means it’s lost its edge. Then we’re stuck with just a bunch of bland, silly love songs. Yuk.

Folks are always going to listen to what moves them – screw the polls – screw the critics (not literally of course) – one man’s cheese is another man’s spoiled milk. Whoa, is it my imagination or did this rant just take a culinary turn for the worse? But since I’m already there, I’ll go ahead and mention that I’ve thought the Litnet’s ranking polls are a bit silly. I’m talking about threads such as: Who is the best writer of all time? Or is so-and-so a better author than what’s-his-name? P-shaw . You can’t rank art. It’s not linear. It’d be like ranking colors: Blue is a better than Red because it’s deeper and makes me think more profoundly. Oh yeah, well, I think Red is better than Blue because it’s more intense and makes me feel things more passionately, and come to think of it, I’m starting to get a little angry that you think Blue is better than Red!

Ah well, one of my favorite Tom Petty songs is a holiday tune:

It’s Christmas Time Again - http://youtu.be/3CHopZgA93E

Long distance relatives
Haven’t seen ‘em in a long, long time
Yeah I kind of miss ‘em, I just don’t wanna kiss ‘em, no
It’s Christmas all over again

The youtube video cuts out one of the best parts - his wish list at the end:

Now let’s see, I want a new Rickenbacker Guitar, two Fender Bassmans, a Chuck Berry Songbook, a xylophone…

I know this is sacrilege coming from a person of my age and background, but I've never understood the appeal of Sabbath or, come to that, Purple. They always struck me as leaden and narrow - lacking the emotional and musical range of Led Zeppelin, who were the third party in the Trinity that punters always used to ask Fluff Freeman for. ("Great show! More Purple, more Zep, more Sabs...")

God knows Zeppelin often hunched like hobbits under an unforgiving riff, but that was only one terrain in the expansive territory they inhabited.

Here's a one-hit chunk of classic rock that has always appealed to me, although the sounds on it are so much of their time that you can almost tell which Tuesday they mixed it.

In terms of technical playing ability yes Led Zeppelin 'win' hands down over them both. Sabbath are almost completely riff driven, unashamedly so, indeed that is one of their strengths. They haven't tried to be much more than that - Iommi, don't forget, comes minus half a finger on one hand which can't help that much with the fiddly bits. However, Sabbath were very good at what they did; dark style, doom laden, riff driven rock/early metal and had a lot of followers and were very influential of course. I don't think the degree of technical complexity in any music offers any value on whether it is 'better' than something more simplistic, necessarily. Personally, I much prefer Sabbath to both them; it's just another question of personal taste I suppose.

Just watched that ocumentary recommended by Mark. It was pretty good and put Southern Rock in perspective. The Allmans seem to have grown with the hippies and represented the liberal aspect of the South in the wake of the civil rights movement. That gives them more credibility as I didn't know so much about them.. I picked up a few good tracks I hadn't heard before too. I agree that they're not in the same category.

Molly Hatchet is a group that has probably disappointed more people than any other band, on account of the album art that accompanied each purchase. (...thin connection to the hobbits, perhaps...)

Part of my mind is absolutely bored by these guys and their cliché clinic, and dumbfounded that they ever got a major label deal--but the rest of my mind (the part largely unconcerned with music probably, or maybe it's something to do with the South) will go days during which its idling frequencies habitually leak out this song, running it in the background, and I even do the guy's voice out loud if no one else is around.

Every so often one writes something that evokes an unexpected reaction so strong that it's a bit worrying. About ten years ago I wrote the following, and it became apparent that I was quite likely to be lynched.....

I do not dislike Stevie Nicks merely because she sings like a whistle in a plughole. I dislike her for her style - she thinks she's a faerie elf but she looks like a transvestite gnome. I dislike her for her vapid, groundless philosophising. I dislike her for her contrived, solipsistic lyrics and for the fact that she believes she's writing poetry. I dislike her for her cultivated air of floaty, ethereal otherworldliness - which consists mainly of wearing dresses with wizard-sleeves in which she waves her arms about like a four-year-old trying to be a tree. But mainly I dislike her for her unshakeable and conceited conviction that she's any freaking good at anything apart from lending some post-acid masturbatory glamour to an otherwise talented but unphotogenic rock band.

I hope that's clear. Thank you.

Tomorrow - Judy Garland: what a terrible waste of time.

My feelings towards Stevie haven't changed a bit, and those feelings extend to anything with which she's associated.

Getting back to the Classic Rock thing, though...

She was trying to very ethereal and floaty in that video, and yes she did wave it about like a four year old. Not sure about your assessment of her visual qualities though. I heard many a rasping lager lout eulogise her qualities in the 80s. (I spent a lot of the 80s in pubs).

I think I covered the 'why' pretty thoroughly.

Venom? That wasn't venom. That was considered dismissiveness with some sarcasm thrown in. Venom is much less hurtful.

Her? Harmless? For twenty years, you couldn't go into a wine bar in this country without hearing bloody Rhiannon.

On top of which, she's not eccentric. She's self-absorbed and vain. Hers isn't some slightly dotty and blameless way of seeing the world. It's egotistic smugness turned into a career. She purports to be an artist, and artists are judged by their work - which in her case involves writing, singing and twirling her skirt. I'm judging her in those terms. Though, to be fair, she's a world-class skirt twirler.
