Okay. Just list some bands and singers from Wilipedia and then dirt the Beach Boys. Pet Sounds is considered one of the greatest rock and roll albums of all times, The Beach Boys aren't rock but The Cars are? Half of the items you listed aren't even bands. Fail.
Someone mentioned Southern Rock so I replied to it. Sorry that offended you. Don't pay attention then, Were you always a prick or did you recently transition?
Just trying to keep to the original thread concept. I was not offended and I have always been a prick to pricks. Most of the time I'm not bad. I withdraw my nasty response.
LOL wikipedia--I had multiple ALBUMS and cassettes back in the day from these, yes, bands.
I wouldn’t say Rock & Roll was perfected by anyone considering it’s a mix of mostly R&B/ Country Western in its original form. I would add Little Richard and Jerry Lee Lewis to the two you mentioned.
You’re right, and thinking it outSpoonful are out since Yanovski was CNadian
Can't believe no mention of Aerosmith up to this point...they dominated the mid-late 70's until all the heavy drug abuse burned them out. Great comeback in the late 80's-90s and on...that's what the great ones do.
Steven Tyler is still alive…in fact all of the well known (basically the five “original”members) are living. They did swap out the first rhythm guitar player very early on.
I don’t see you as to OP, so This isn’t your thread. You made stipulations that weren’t stated by the OP. So if you want your stipulations to apply go begin your own thread.
In the underrated category I nominate Little Feat.
I understand and appreciate your analysis of the Grateful Dead
This is a good podcast, though I find the narrator's voice to be tedious sometimes. The episode on the Dead was one of his best. I'm learning at lot from it. For example, For What's it Worth (The iconic song that mostly recently appeared at the Democratic National Convention) was about protests/riots in LA over a bar curfew where patrons were getting too rowdy). I always thought it was an anti-war or free speech protest song.
Episode 165: “Dark Star” by the Grateful Dead
Episode 165 of A History of Rock Music in Five Hundred Songs looks at “Dark Star” and the career of the Grateful Dead. This is a long one, even longer than the previous episode, but don’t wor…500songs.com
Maybe The Academy of Music. Saw Ten Years After there. Believe it was torn down to build NYU dorms.
Customized/custom-built guitars and amps help a lot.Hendrix is funny - didn't have a pedal until 67.
I respect his talent but to me he's making that psychedlic drug music that's long gone.
I dont think I ever saw a Hendrix intervew where he wasn't high on something.
I don't think he's overrated but he's one of those dudes I never listen to and dont care if I ever do again
These things are subjective, as always. I love all kinds of music, but to me, most of the Beach Boys tunes are nails on a chalk board with the high pitched squealing. I'm prepared to be crucified for that remark, but that's my subjective view. I recognize them as a great American band though.
