Title: Re: what are your all time Fave Classic Rock Album Post by Heart Of Stone on Jan 29th, 2013 at 5:22am
quite a list I would have, of the top of my head, besides The Stones classic albums.
Ziggy Stardust. Who's Next. Allman Bros. live At Fillmore east. Just about any Beatles album. Born To Run. Never Mind The Bollocks. London Calling. Pet Sounds. That's all I can think of right now. |

classic is like the term vintage, but I don't know exactly how it applies for age. My apple Macbook is 6 years old, abnd apple calls in vintage, because they want nothing to do with servicing it. As far as music goes, at least certain music outlets, play music from the 90's calling it classic… I'm really confused, since some music to me, that is very new, in the sens of the past 5 years, i already know personally I consider a classic, it has passed the test!
anyway, the best thing ever made is Exile on main st. |

Top Ten Albums Ever for me
Top 5 is usually the same and in this order. Sometimes 2 and 3 swap around 1. Exile - Stones 2. Abbey Road - Beatles 3. Blood On The Tracks - Dylan 4. Blonde on Blonde - Dylan 5. Born To Run - Springsteen The remaining go up and down from 6-10 Scary Monsters - Bowie Quadrophenia - The Who London Calling - The Clash Highway 61 Revisited - Dylan The Wild, the Innocent & The E Street Shuffle - Springsteen Some Girls and, Sticky Fingers would be in the next five along with the likes of Who's Next, Lou Reed's 'Berlin' etc. My favourite album of this millennium so far is 'By The Way' by the Red Hot Chili Peppers. I'm not counting compilations. |
Title: Re: what are your all time Fave Classic Rock Album Post by Teiz on Jan 29th, 2013 at 5:43pm
1. Exile On Main St - The Rolling Stones
2. Blood On The Tracks - Bob Dylan 3. The Rise And Fall Of Ziggy Stardust And The Spiders From Mars - David Bowie 4. Rust Never Sleeps - Neil Young 5. Animals - Pink Floyd 6. Songs Of Love And Hate - Leonard Cohen 7. Revolver - The Beatles 8. Born To Run - Bruce Springsteen 9. Muswell Hillbillies - The Kinks 10. LA Woman - The Doors. The first two haven't changed over the years. I want a copy of Exile with me when I go. The other 8 are subject of change, thoug most of them were among my favorites 5 years ago. |
Title: Re: what are your all time Fave Classic Rock Album Post by AngieBlue on Jan 29th, 2013 at 5:51pm
Sticky Fingers
Lady Soul by Aretha Franklin - may not be considered 'classic rock' but essential listening for me London Calling - The Clash Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs - Derek and the Dominoes The Elvis Presley Collection - Rhythm & Blues Those are my 'if you could only have five albums' list. |

Title: Re: what are your all time Fave Classic Rock Album Post by Paranoid Android on Jan 29th, 2013 at 10:58pm
Great question...one in which i will answer tomorrow because i have to study...I, however would like to hear a general definition of "classic rock"? i know what it is...or what radio says it is...
But...while LONDON CALLING and SANDANISTA! are in my top 10 ( LC in the top 3) I would not call them Classic rock...CLASSIC, yes...and Bitches Brew by Miles Davis... or Maggot Brain by Parliament Funkedelic ( also in my top 10) ......and revered by MANY rock critics and on many "lists"...not classic rock...but on the crossover area... ps...Do new releases by the oldie acts count? r.e. Dylan's bootleg series...any posthumous Hendrix...Pet sounds sessions (A++++++). RULES dammit...I want RULES!!!!!! |
Title: Re: what are your all time Fave Classic Rock Album Post by Gazza on Jan 30th, 2013 at 6:08am
I dont even know what 'classic rock' means. The obsession (which appears to be driven by American radio programmers) with pigeonholing music into sub-categories is a pet peeve. There are only two types of music for me - music I do like, and music I don't like. I just listed some of my favourite albums.

I totally agree. Plus there's radiostations who seem to think the 'classic rock' tag is a good excuse to rehash awful records by Styx, Rush or Journey...those bands were a misunderstanding to begin with.. |

There's too much great music that I gave up lists a while ago. That said, I checked my 'plays' on my iTunes library and the Stones first album and Let It Bleed are tied for the most.

Wow!! Voodoo what a list! you couldn't have got that from the top of you're head, you must had a list, so many albums mentioned on here I like also, to make it all easier I would have to say the 60's/70's, that's what I always believed classic Rock was, I've been in classic rock bands & it's always those era's, I wouldn't say anything from the 80's is classic Rock, but I guess the older we get with time, that will become Classic Rock.

Traffic! Howe? How I didn't added that one or Welcome to the Canteen or any by them, even "When the Eagle Flies" is great About "The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway" is one of my top albums but it's progressive, and I didn't add progressive or psychedelic rock, that's why I didn't add Spirit and I like them a lot, I collect psychedlic rock and have a lot of LPs and CDs and digital files When I bought my first CD Player in 1986 that was one of the first CDs I bought, I asked the guy at the record store to bring that one as well as Exile and Close to the Edge, one of my first CDs or maybe the first was "Hot Rocks 2" as I bought the same day I bought the CD Player |

Yeah...that is what I was averting towards...Sirius has a channel called "classic vinyl"...I call it the "Station where the average age of the artist is about 70 and only 15% is actually good and even that has been overplayed since the FM hey-day in the 70's" station. i am pretty much over anything ever called/labled as "classic rock"...not to say i can't enjoy it...but not when it is fed to me under the banner "classic rock". You should see my brother-in-law put on Free's, All Right Now...and think he is the RnR god as he plays air guitar and sings along like it is the latest thing...that song alone makes me cringe at the genre. My soapbox is starting to break...c-ya later with a list. |
Title: Re: what are your all time Fave Classic Rock Album Post by Edith Grove on Jan 31st, 2013 at 5:20am
Seems to me that Johnny B. Goode is a classic rock song, but you never hear it on "classic rock" radio.
Why is that ? :forfucksake |
Title: Re: what are your all time Fave Classic Rock Album Post by Gazza on Jan 31st, 2013 at 7:39am
because every decade or so, the Year Zero cut off point for when rock music as we know it began seems to get brought forward.
When I started listening to music in the early 70s, you still regularly heard 50's rock n roll on the radio (however it was as if nothing existed prior to Rock Around the Clock, so it never went back earlier than 1954. Not on stations that played pop/rock music anyway). As time went on, that seemed to change to about 1963 when the Beatles broke. You pretty much stopped hearing anything before that. Pop/rock radio in the UK was never as genre obsessed as American radio seems to be, although thats changed a bit in recent years with the advent of satellite radio and the restructuring of BBC Radio, but even on channels that do play oldies, I doubt you'd get much before 1970 now. Considering the fact that the Stones havent really been a 'current' act (in the way they were in the 60s and 70s) since about 1981, unless things change, you're conceivably looking at their music as having a shelf life of about another 5-10 years in radio terms before it gets relegated to the comparative obscurity that befell stuff like blues or swing, etc. We grew up imagining that people would still be listening to this music for 100 years. Just a couple of decades on, its quite evident that its really not working out like that at all. Music radio and TV have changed so much in the last decade and everything has become too disposable in a competitive industry for that to be viable. |

Damn, Gazza, I wish I had your articulation abilities. :areyoufuckingserious Now how about this: You hear Seventies music on "oldies" stations now, but you tend not to (at least in my part of the world) hear much of the heavier stuff that came out then. For example, you tend to hear mostly "Top 40," easy-listening stuff, maybe some Stones hits might be as edgy as they get, but never any Zeppelin, etc. I've always wondered why the "oldies" stations limit themselves more to the bubble-gum side of the music biz. |

the bean counters know that if they play anything other than those hundred songs that listeners will migrate or turn off all together. these songs sell or at least they provide a vehicle to sell. most people that still listen either dont care, are uninterested or LIKE it. sad because we remember how good it was, but while that age has passed the choices we have are greater than ever been the challenge is how artists and writers can make money. |
Title: Re: what are your all time Fave Classic Rock Album Post by Paranoid Android on Jan 31st, 2013 at 10:32pm
FACT: Terrestrial radio is meant to be listed to for 60-90 min...that is why you will hear the same artist...3 times, if you listen to a single station for 4 hours...
if you are lucky...it might be a different song by that artist each time...or the single twice and the B side once...or a version of that model . \ That is why I LOVE my SIRIUS radio...they already have your money...in my case 2 lifetime subscriptions...which became "free"after the 3.5 year mark...so they can play much more of a variety...I don't mind the catagories as much...since i know what i am going to get...I just wish there was a Stones channel again...a permananet one. that is an avenue which seems to have passed by the Stones machine...I mean...if a lame, boring band like Pink floyd can have a channel 24/7...why not the Stones... They just need to make a sensible deal...and realize that a channel that lasts 5-10 years can garish more money that a "tour"channel...IMO... |

Hubby has a weekly show on the local community radio station. He has a free form show, so he can play anything he likes. He started a Weekly Dose of Stones because of the calls he would get everytime he played something from the Boys. All the calls were along the lines of - you never hear them on the radio, or you only hear Tumblin Dice or YCAGWYW, etc.
That's just one example of how commercial radio is too pigeon holed. All of the JACK radio stations - every US market has one - are satellite stations run out of AZ. There is a local studio with DJs/morning & evening traffic reporters, but all of the music is preprogrammed and on a feed from AZ. Another oddity - I live in Kansas City area, home of the American Jazz Museum and many, many blues bands. The only radio station that still plays straight blues is the community station that hubby volunteers for. The audience is there. The blues shows pull in the most money during every fund drive, but no commercial station in the area will touch the blues. There is an NPR station in town that has a weekly blues show on Saturday night, but that's it. Jazz is the same situation except the NPR station cancelled their jazz show. |
