    Looking For Some New Jams

    It seems as if I've more or less traversed the entirety of the classic rock, indie rock, and punk rock genres, along with all their sub-genres. I'm looking for some unique rock bands that I'm likely to have never encountered. Here's a list of my favorite albums as a guildline, thanks ya'll...

    Am I Alone In Hating The Beatles..?

    I am in no way aiming to troll any Beatles fans out there, because, well, most of you objectively are to some extent. I too was once a pretty big fan. The last year, an adoration that began as a young child has metamorphosized into a deep resentment. As I grow older, I begin to find a deeper and...

    Best album of 1967

    Yea, I know it came 6 years later, but that doesn't stop everyone from boasting about how superior it is conceptually and musically than everything that came befor and after it, as if it was some artistic peak. Wilson was mostly influenced by Rubber Soul, that was the influence the Beatles had...

    Best album of 1967

    Sick Of The Sgt. I just don't get it, I really don't. Why does EVERYONE, since the day it released, hail Peppers as this undeniable opus of rock music? I know we're talking 67 and all, but it's not even the best concept album of all time, if you really want to call it that. Dark Side is so much...

    60's vs 70's Albums

    I've always been so split as to what decade I feel produced a better body of work. I've decided to put together a list of opuses released each decade that I feel provide the best head to head match ups. I'm 19, so, no bias in the least haha. 1. Dark Side Of The Moon VS. Sgt. Peppers 2. Rumors...

    Best album of 1965

    Highway 61 without a doubt, The Beatles took a major step forward artistically, but both Dylan albums in 65 are better than either of The Beatles albums.

    Your Five Most Influential c.d.s (Share Why, Stories, etc.)

    1. Dark Side Of The Moon. I always shake my head when people stake the claim that this album is in anyway " overrated " in the rock community, let alone relative to Pink Floyds other output. If anything, this album is UNDERrated. Sgt. Peppers holds this mythical status among critics and fans...

    Beach Boys: Wouldn't It Be Nice vs God Only Knows

    I enjoy the song, but I never understood critics infatuation with God Only Knows. Wouldn't It Be Nice is a gorgeous, deceptively cheerful song in the midst of the tracks that appear subsequently on the album.

    Your most under rated stones song?

    I've always considered " Rocks Off " to be the stones in their purest form. She's A Rainbow, a great deal of tracks on Aftermath, No Expectations, Let It Loose, I could go on. What do you think?

    Did Dylan write his own melodies?

    I've always wondered just how responsible Bob was for the instrumentals in his songs. Blonde On Blonde and Highway 61 were both landmark albums, both in terms of the music and the lyrics. Can we really credit Dylan for the musical aspect, though? Did he have session musicians that were...

    Bob Dylan (Official Thread)

    My top 25 For anyone browsing the internet attempting to learn about Dylan and listen to his music, keep a few things in mind. 1. You likely will not understand the music upon first listen. 2. Dylan's output during the first 10 years or so of his career varies greatly in the style and...

    Vinyl Suggestions?

    What are some classic rock albums that just sound exponentially better on vinyl? To give you an idea of my tastes, so far I have Bob Dylan: Blonde On Blonde, Blood On The Tracks, and Highway 61 The Beatles: Sgt. Peppers, Abbey Road, and Revolver. The Stones: Let It Bleed D&D: Layla Beach...

    Blood On The Tracks New York Sessions

    As some of you know, Dylan re-cut 5 of the tracks recorded in New York in Minnesota with another band that would show up on BOTT. Tangled Up In Blue and Idiot Wind have always been perhaps the most celebrated tracks on the album, but am I alone in my opinion that their Minnesota versions that...

    The Best Dylan Album?

    Blonde I would go as far as to say One Of Us Must Know is one of the 10 greatest Bob ever made, very under rated song. 1. Blonde On Blonde 2. Blood On The Tracks ( 1 and 2 are almost interchangeable ) 3. Highway 61 Revisited 4. John Wesley Harding 5. Nashville Skyline

    The Best Dylan Album?

    Bought the vinyl last week. Blonde on Blonde as well, and I honestly have to say I've never heard an album that's so, I don't know if I can put it in words... " That wild Mercury sound... ". I think Bob put it best. Blood on the tracks is a masterpiece, highway 61, Wesley is great for what it...

    The Best Dylan Album?

    If there's another thread for this please do merge, but what's your favorite?

    What decade do you listen most?

    Definitely the 60's. Prime Beatles, Stones, Dylan, Etc. but early 70's is close because of Dominos, 70's stones, Zep, and ESPECIALLY FLOYD, etc.

    Best Lead Singer

    I have to say that despite the fact that Mick Jagger's my favorite singer, Jim Morrison was the most polarizing front man of all time. I hate Queen and how everyone loves to give Freddie props. Listen to their music, it's fun, it's funky, cool. The Doors and The Stones among MANY others made...

    What cities were the best music hubs for classic rock?

    Being relatively young I know that NYC, Nashville, L.A., Seattle, and Detroit were some of the particularly music oriented cities for different genres in the 60s/70s, but which were the most influential and for what reasons? What bands emerged from said areas? I have a good comprehension of who...
