madhorseman Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 (edited) I'm firmly a hard rock fan as well. Guitar Gods were the ones I worshipped, Jeff Beck,Jimi, Stevie Ray. And recently deceased guys Gary Moore, Alvin Lee, RIP Men. That being said, never having been dubbed guitar gods, no one could compare with Skynyrd's guitarist..Gary Rossington's les paul, Allen Collin's screaming firebird, and the addition later of Steve Gaines'. Oh Buddy!! I saw them live in August of 1977, who could have know of the tragedy just 2 short months later. Anyway here's one of their best..enjoy!

1972coronet Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 Roger Keith "Syd" Barrett's "Waving My Arms in the Air" from "Barrett" (1970) . "Barrett" was his last complete album ; "The Madcap Laughs" precedes it from 1969 . A 3rd album's recording was aborted when Syd stopped playing all together . http://youtu.be/kQFPuH3QrHk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FASTBACK340 Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 I'm firmly a hard rock fan as well. Guitar Gods were the ones I worshipped, Jeff Beck,Jimi, Stevie Ray. And recently deceased guys Gary Moore, Alvin Lee, RIP Men. Granted, most of these players were a terror back in the day, but have you checked out todays cutting-edge guitarists? If you play guitar and want nightmares check out John 5 on youtube. I had the pleasure of seeing him a few years back and he has only gotten more insane since…… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldnslow Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Only two of the original memebers, Marks and Johnston, there's also a son and a cousin I think. They put on a great show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry P. Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 My guilty pleasure? Katy Perry. A talented singer who wastes her talent on teen idol stuff. But I have to say she is very easy on the eyes... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nxr Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 (edited) Beach Boys - Help me ronda Michael Been - World on fire ( that early 90s sound ) And this 1960's music that nobody knows about and nobody will probably listen to from here, but seriously i wish this stuff would get out there.

charlie8575 Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 those 3 genres are intertwining these days and it sounds terrible. Billy Ray Cirus just did a Rap remix of Achey Breaky Heart That almost suggests the original was good! Charlie Larkin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlie8575 Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 A talented singer who wastes her talent on teen idol stuff. But I have to say she is very easy on the eyes... Can't argue too much with that. I will admit that I do like "Firework." The video for it is rather spectacular and I like the message of the song. I've even been able to use its basic theme a couple of times with kids at school- let your inner rock star out in whatever it is you're engaged in.

charlie8575 Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 Big band, jazz, classical, oldies, new and old country, an occasional modern pop or rap song comes along I like, adult album contemporary-type music is something I like too. I've really been getting into funk jazz and funk r n'b the last couple of years, and yes, I'll even admit to liking a lot of its offshoot- disco, which isn't all as bad as most people think. Again, from a techncial standpoint, there were some absolutely first-rate musicians doing that stuff, Chic being a great example, in addition to their disco work, they were a very highly-acclaimed funk jazz group. There's something out there for almost everyone. It really disturbed me when I was subbing a music class about a year ago, that were kids that actually said "I hate music!" That really worried me. Even if it's the vapid pop we're getting now, listen to something, kids, please. Charlie Larkin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forthlin Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 I like everything rock n roll from Elvis to Nirvana although The Beatles are #1 with me. I watched them on Ed Sullivan when they first came here & have been hooked ever since. I collect anything connected with them that I can afford. To NXR, I'm a big Electric Prunes fan. I was in a group in the mid-late 60's & we named ourselves The Hydraulic Banana as a take on the Electric Prunes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Pontiac Bonneville was Syd's, he swapped it for something or other and sadly it didn't work so he never drove it! I had some friends who knew his family. Long after his last recording, they were talking about Syd and the phone rang. It was Syd, he thought they'd called him and wondered what they wanted... Great loss.

1972coronet Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 One of the greatest pieces ever recorded . This one's from White Light / White Heat (1967) . Words by Lou Reed (1942-2013) ; reading by John Daevies Cale (1942- ) , delivered in his sonourous Cymraeg accent . One channel is the instrumental ( based on "Booker T." ) ; the other channel is the vocals . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry P. Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 I'm surprised by how many mentions have been made of J. Geils Band. They were ok, I guess... had several big hits, sure... but I really can't see them making an "all time favorites" list. Oh well... it's all subjective...

Skydime Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 (edited) I like just about everything except boy bands and 90% of bluegrass and country. I'm sure there is some weird garbage (from my perspective) in there somewhere else I don't like but, I haven't found much of it. Two bands I must mention really liking are local. One is a defunked group from the 90s called Flat Mary Stone, and the other is a band called Downtrend. Although, I liked Downtrend best with their original lead singer. And looking above on this page, I like every single non country artist Adam See has on his list. On a side note: I went to a car stereo competition once where I competed in sound quality 151-300 watt class. The chosen material by the judges was electronic bagpipe music. I actually kind of liked it. I also liked it almost as much as the looks I got from everyone when I started playing "Rough Boy" by ZZ Top. That song has a great bass line.
