    Going to Giants of Rock weekend - advice needed please!

    Bluesy hard rock on this list (as far as I know and I don't know if any of them are any good): Black Star Riders (I think there is a strong Thin Lizzy connection there) Mick Ralphs Band Bernie Marsden Band Probably also Johnny Winter Experience (probably a tribute act since Johnny Winter is no...

    Kanye West Fans Never Heard of Macca

    I thought that incident was a mistake that was seriously exaggerated by the wolves, I mean the tabloids (and the haters). Anyway, if an artist being a jerk is a reason for you to dislike his music... Say goodbye to your classic Chuck Berry, CSNY, Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple (or anything else...

    Kanye West Fans Never Heard of Macca

    This. Add gullible internet people to that who are eager to hate "dumb kids today" (here too apparently) and you've got an avalanche of unwarranted "d'oh" posts. But even if some of those young fans DON'T know who Paul McCartney is, that's perfectly uderstandable isn't it? I didn't discover...

    popular bands that you hate

    I've Always "kinda thought that" as well, but because of this discussion I've examined the evidence a bit. Those "hit factories" were certainly around in the late 50's early 60's and were responsible for writing a lot of the hits by Elvis, Jerry Lee Lewis, the Everly Brothers (they didn't write...

    Who is your favourite artist / band from the European continent?

    Green Day are from California, but even if they were Irish: that's another English-language country and not on the "European continent". You mentioning "Boulevard of broken dreams" reminds me that I've overlooked Hanoi Rocks, another influential Scandinavian rock band who have a song by that name.

    Who is your favourite artist / band from the European continent?

    A lot of attention (rightfully) goes to the English-speaking world, with the vast majority of classic rock acts hailing from the UK or the USA. Threads have been dedicated to Australia, Canada and Scotland as well. So what about the rest of Europe? Surely it's not a wasteland of bad accents and...

    Chuck Berry (Official Thread)

    Oh, speaking of "live" Berry recordings: he scored his last number 1 in the early seventies with a live rendition of a song called "My ding-a-ling". An intentionally dumb song, but listen to the version on the LP. It's almost like standup, Berry has these hippies singing along to this silly...

    Chuck Berry (Official Thread)

    As a musician, there is no doubt about his legacy. He influenced everybody, you can hear the Stones and the Beatles but also Dylan in his songs. Even if he recycled the same riffs a bit often, but I guess rock 'n' roll was still being invented. As a human being... I'm not sure. I can't help...

    The Most Beatle-Sound-Alike Band In Rock'n Roll History

    Here's a bunch of songs that reminded me of the BEatles when I first heard them. Some still do. Some of them were probably consciously trying to be Beatlesque. Smyle-It’s gonna be alright (’72) The singer is clearly trying to sound like John Lennon. Fickle Pickle-Let me tell you ('71)...

    Jeff Lynne to perform ELO songs with orchestra at comeback show

    When I read that Jeff Lynne re-recorded some of the old ELO songs, I was hoping he did them in his current style - i.e. more rootsy, without the orchestra and endless backing vocals. I love the old songs, but listening to a few of them in a row is exhausting to me and I prefer Lynne's style of...
