For what it's worth, About.com has a great classic rock section (as well as other musical genres). The have a really nice section on guitar playing with tabs, etc. I saw this list the other day and thought it was pretty good. Mine would be different, as would all of yours....but if you could own only ten albums, these could keep you happy.
They have a great section about classic rock. Although I'm sure I would prefer 10 different albums, someone that hasn't heard very much classic rock music would have a great time listening to these 10 albums.

Oh my God Rachel... the term "genius" should never be associated with anyone in a boy band. It's like an oxymoron. And David Hasselhoff? Good Lord, he couldn't fathom a musical career if he did it for free as a comedy act on public television with monkeys playing the intstruments.
I'm going to go cleanse myself now by listening to N'Sync...

Here's one about Stevie Ray Vaughan
This compilation could've been trimmed (mercifully)down to about 30 seconds if there was a rule against repeating the same tired licks. SRV may have been a nice guy, but he was one sorry excuse for a guitar player-more proof that all you have to do to satisfy the vast legion of dullards is turn it up. "Passion" doesn't replace his lack of technique, taste, originality, etc,ad nauseum.Lack of technique? Wow, that's not something I would associate Stevie Ray Vaughan with. Lack of technique? I'd like to know who they think is a better guitar player... maybe they're big fans of that guy in Blink 182...
Pink Floyd's "Animals"
I hoped to hear music about all kinds of animals but I was let down. This is no friendly music at all, it is full of monsters!Really really BAD music, donot buy it is BAD!
Obviously they don't really know anything about Pink Floyd.
This is on a review for The Beatles "1".
I get so annoyed by this belching and belittling bearded beerbelly calling himself 'justice' (what he doesnot know ONE friggin' bit I assume.He is sexist and conservative, and doesn't do the beautiful US of A any good. He should be considered to be extradited to Guantanamo or better the moon for his CRAP convinctions.
Is it so hard to leave decent folk alone? Teach yourself some decency ok?
OK, so what I'm 13?

What does that have to do with the album?
for the last two years of the Beatles, they were a quintet. John, Paul, George, Ringo and Yoko. Give her respect. I'd love to see Paul, Ringo and Yoko jamming together, imagine them singing Beatle songs with Yoko in John's place? doesn't that sound awesome?That's not right... that's just not right...
The Who's "Tommy"
It is a prooven fact my dad told me that it were always the spotty rascals who (LOL) were lissening to this stommach turning racket of these untalented wildcats.The fact that it still aroiund prooves that manypeople have a LOT of pwoblems.
Thamks for reading my mexage.
I'm guessing it was written by Bugs Bunny.

If I travelled back in time, I would make sure to hoard lots of shares of stock in Apple!! Whoa, money train here I come.

This is great...
Hey everyone, how r ya?? Wow, this dylan chracter has to be one of the most hyped up fellas in recent times, trying to take over the throne currently occupied by huge talent like Jack Johnson and John Mayer!! He never will as long as he sings in that annoying nasal tone, writes lyrics that are weird and no one can relate to, and plays the out of tune harmonica that he thinks sounds good!! If ya'll want to hear music that sounds really good, look into some cool tunes by Limp Bizkit, Linkin Park, Staind, Mystikal, Nelly, 50 Cent, Ja Rule, Puddle Of Mudd, Nickelback, Dave Matthews and John Mayer!! Go get some real music people!! Peace out....Trying to take over the throne held by John Mayer? I like John Mayer, but since when did Bob Dylan have to take over a throne from John Mayer? Does this person even realize that Bob Dylan has been making music for more than 40 years? Before John Mayer was even born? It's more like John Mayer is trying to take the throne away from Bob Dylan. I'd like to smack this person.
This is fun....!

Let's bring this back to the front where it belongs since our wonderful Administrators fixed our little calendar problem.

The date thing appears to be resolved. Now, the question remains, how do we get our posts back to normal?

Don't buy this unless you want to fall asleep its BORING drivel. Britney Spears makes great music. One More Time has much better guitar riffs. And these guys are too...ugly to be popstars. Britney is cute. Buy Britneys albums instead for REAL music.
Does that say Britney Spears has better guitar riffs? Dear God, since when has Britney been associated with guitar riffs? Since when has Britney done anything except dance on stage looking like a whore and lip syncing? BRITNEY SPEARS IS REAL MUSIC? So does that mean all the untalented popstars who never sing live and are just for show are portraying real music? As opposed to actual musicians playing instruments and not worrying about image? Can I reach out and smack the living piss out of this person?

Whoa, that's cool. Sometimes, great posters post alike!

Actually, you can absorb LSD through your skin but it takes an insane amount.
That's what I was really referring to. Can you imagine what a guitar would look like if you were tripping on acid? It would probably grow feet and eyes and a mouth and start playing itself while eating your arm and walking around on stage. Interesting...

Good to see ya Scott. How're the Dakotas right now?
Drugs do not act like osmosis. You can't soak them through your skin.

So I was listening to this song yesterday in the car and was actually able to picture Bojangles dancing in my head since I had an actual picture to look at (thanks to Uncle Joe). It was very odd, the whole song took on a new meaning this time when I listened to it.
-
The song was written by Jerry Jeff Walker, a country artist who started out in the late 60's. I'm not sure who actually recorded it first though.

Which wing would you prefer to enter first? I'll be in the East Wing; Addicted in the West Wing.
The contestants get NOTHING for stripping. That's what the game's all about. Peanut butter and chocolate...who do you think we are - Donald Trump?!
No, our game would be more like "FearFactor", except with sex.
Hell yeah! Just think of the ratings we'd get.
-
It makes me sad too... First time I heard it was by Bob Dylan. It´s been credited many times to Neil Diamond (I was it on many magazines... and they were payed for it!) who also did a good cover.
The song is so great country, I can't picture Bob Dylan doing a cover and definitely cannot picture Neil Diamond doing a cover.

Now that sounds like a great TV show. It could be co-sponsored by Fruit of the Loom, Jack Daniels and Trojans?
And your local dealer...

It's always reminded me of "The Ballad of Curtis Loew," which is one of my favorite Skynyrd tunes.
Such poignant lyrics.
That is a great song as well. I love songs that tell a story about someone that doesn't live the greatest life, but seems very content with what they have. Stories that can be sad and happy and inspiring at the same time. But the character always seems to die in the end of the song...
-
I think I would do a reality show with Sammy where 100 beautiful women fight over who gets to sleep with us that night. There will be many tough decisions, but that's why there's two of us to sort through them all (separate ends of the mansion of course). Now that would be reality TV!
-
I did not know that. Gives the song much more meaning when you know a fact like that. It also makes more sense. Thanks Joe!
-
The song is actually kind of a sad one. To me, the character in the song seems to have lost many things in life and all he has left is the dancing he does for others around the area. He's obviously an alcoholic and seems to have very little to speak of. Kind of like a hopeless hobo out on the road.

Okay, here's this weeks set of lyrics.
"Mr. Bojangles" - Nitty Gritty Dirt Band
I knew a man Bojangles and he danced for you
In worn out shoes
With silver hair, a ragged shirt and baggy pants
The old soft shoe
He jumped so high, he jumped so high,
Then he lightly touched down
I met him in a cell in New Orleans, I was
Down and out
He looked at me to be the eyes of age
As the smoke ran out
He talked of life, he talked of life
Laughed, clicked his heels and stepped
He said his name, Bojangles, and he danced a lick
Across the cell
He grabbed his pants a better stance, oh, he jumped so high,
Then he clicked his heels
He let go a laugh, he let go a laugh,
Shook back his clothes all around
Mr. Bojangles
Mr. Bojangles
Mr. Bojangles
Dance
He danced for throws at minstrel shows and county fairs
Throughout the south
He spoke of tears and fifteen years how his dog and him
Traveled about
The dog up and died, he up and died
After twenty years he still grieves
He said I dance now at every chance in honky tonks
For drinks and tips
But most of the time I spend behind these county bars
'Cause I drinks a bit
He shook his head and as he shook his head
I heard someone ask him `Please'
Please ..........
Mr. Bojangles
Mr. Bojangles
Mr. Bojangles
Dance!
Mr. Bojangles
Mr. Bojangles
Mr. Bojangles
Dance
Okay, so a lot of people know this song, but I really enjoy its down-home country feel.

I too rate this thread a 10. I haven't posted because on this particular set of lyrics I have nothing cogent to add to what ATC and Peaches have already said. I think you both are right on. You too, edna.
I'll try to get in early on the next set.
BTW, didn't OZMDD do Jackie Blue? That's the only song with which I am familiar by them. What do you recommend of theirs?
Yes they do Unky Joe. They also did "If You Wanna Get To Heaven". I need to come up with another set of lyrics. I picked up their Best Of album and I love it. It's got 21 songs ranging from blues Southern Rock to country Southern Rock to Honky Tonk Southern Rock. Quite a diverse sounding band.

Okay cool my snizzle. I was really just curious as I have managed to lose track of all the songfacts I submitted.

This is one of my favorite Lynyrd Skynyrd songs and I can't figure out why they didn't release it when it was originally recorded.
