Classical Rock

[Chewbecca]

Oh! And Harry Nilsson is a definite must.
He was more poppy at times, but Nilsson Schmilsson was a rockin' album in places and Son of Schmilsson is hilarious in places.
I just love Harry Nilsson. You must get some Harry.

EWWWWWWWWWWWWW BOWIE sorry but I dispise him LOL.

And mom they already are. Do you think any selfrespecting southerner would be without them?

 

[Renee750il]

Dunno . . . . . some people think Lynyrd Skynyrd is the greatest band of all time . . . they sucked donkey, well, you get the idea

But not smart enough to gas up the plane before take off

 

[Chewbecca]

wait, what?

You despise Bowie? Are you kidding me? You DESPISE Bowie???

Why, I...I am in shock.

What music lover can despise Bowie??? Bowie is so diverse that there is a Bowie out there for everyone. You just haven't found your Bowie yet.

That is what I am going to believe for now.

 

[darkchild16]

LMAO. They are awesome I love me some Skynard but Allman Brothers OMG they are no comparision.
And I added him Becca Ill see what songs do you recommend?

No Becca there is no Bowie out there for me. That man SCARES me. LOL

 

[Chewbecca]

You added Harry Nilsson? Is that who you added?

From Nilsson Schmilsson, I suggest:
Jump into the Fire (my FAVE from the album, gotta love that bass and drums!)
Early in the Morning
Let the Good Times Roll
One (and only because you should know that Harry Nilsson wrote that song, NOT Three Dog Night)
Lamaze (because I'm an oddball and LOVE this song. It's in French)

From Son of Schmilsson, I suggest:
Crap, just get both complete albums of Son of Schmilsson and Nilsson Schmilsson

 

[Renee750il]

Hmmm . . . . I would even take Molly Hatchet over Skynyrd, lol!

 

[Renee750il]

Hey, Becca, did you know that Randy Newman wrote Mama Told Me (Don't Come) ?

 

[darkchild16]

Ohhhhh now I know who your talking about Becca and hes awesome.

Molley Hatchet is great

 

[Chewbecca]

Hey, Becca, did you know that Randy Newman wrote Mama Told Me (Don't Come) ?

It doesn't surprise me. Harry did an entire album of Newman covers. Both were great songwriters who had a similar sense of humor. And I love both musicians.

 

[Renee750il]

Augghhh . . . can't believe I forgot Steppenwolf! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=keZZrubiPtE

And Emerson Lake and Palmer and Rush.

 

[Renee750il]

It doesn't surprise me. Harry did an entire album of Newman covers. Both were great songwriters who had a similar sense of humor. And I love both musicians.

I got to see Randy Newman in a small venue (Bijou in downtown Knoxville) - great show. If you ever get a chance, go!

 

[darkchild16]

OMG Rush my uncle would hang me for forgetting them!!! he will NEVER know!! (do not tell him if he comes to gaitlinburg ok?)

 

[Gempress]

I can't believe you're doing a list of Classic Rock without including ZZ Top. *horror*

 

[darkchild16]

Gemp I own EVERY ZZ Top Album so I dont need them on my computer . My dad actually got to see them in concert right after Christmas.

 

[shadowfacedanes]

Something obviously didn't click with my southern heritage imprinting because I absolutely hate hate hate classic rock.

*dodges whatever is thrown at me*

 

[Fran27]

Peter Gabriel, Simple Minds, A-ha (or is it Ah-a?). Bryan Adams maybe? That's less old though...

And Genesis as Renee mentioned it (but I love Phil Collins too so )

 

[darkchild16]

again own all Bryan Adams between my mom and I lol. and to think im bored with my music list.

I will try Peter Gabriel that name sounds familier but I cant think of his songs and the others Im not sure about at all so Ill have to try them.

*me* Troutsmacks Shadow what the heck is wrong with you

Hey, don't feel bad. Nothing will make me turn off a radio quicker than a classic rock station . . . unless it's a country station

I like bits and pieces when I'm in the mood, but it's generally more the psychedelic/acid/hardcore stuff.

And I will confess, I LOATHE the Rolling Stones. Almost as much as I despise Lynyrd Skynyrd.

Oh, Breeze . . . you should add Black Oak Arkansas to your list
