jr_rocker Posted December 4, 2005 Report Share Posted December 4, 2005 Hi, I'm a new member here, I'm im high school. I've always loved older rock from the 60-70s such as the Ramones, Rush, America, and The Rolling Stones, I even like somem heavy metal such as Metallica. I was hoping I could get some suggestion from some of you guys for bands or albums I could check out. I recently bought an mp3 player and already transferred about 60 songs from the artists above. Oh, and also, I'm downloading music using iTunes...they have no Metallica, no AC/DC, no Led Zepellin! Anyone know what's up with that?! Thanks, -Daniel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluesboy Posted December 4, 2005 Report Share Posted December 4, 2005 Welcome jr rocker, for starters, there's 3 must have albums by the Rolling Stones - Beggars Banquet Let It Bleed and Sticky Fingers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katie_sane Posted December 4, 2005 Report Share Posted December 4, 2005 Hello jr rocker! iTunes has no Led Zeppelin, Metallica or AC/DC? That sucks! You've come to the right place for recommendations though! Bluesboy's suggestions for The Rolling Stones are definitely worth your while For the Ramones, I'd recommend the first four albums; Ramones, Leave Home, Rocket To Russia and Road To Ruin.

callmeanimal Posted December 4, 2005 Report Share Posted December 4, 2005 For the Ramones, I'd recommend the first four albums; Ramones, Leave Home, Rocket To Russia and Road To Ruin. And I would add "Mondo Bizarro" to the list. Great album! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daslied Posted December 5, 2005 Report Share Posted December 5, 2005 Oh, and also, I'm downloading music using iTunes...they have no Metallica, no AC/DC, no Led Zepellin! Anyone know what's up with that?! It's dependent upon the artist granting permission/license for iTunes to have them. There's also no Beatles, though I think Yoko finally whored John's solo stuff out. The funny thing about Metallica - they were the biggest a-holes about Napster/free downloading, and then a great, legal alternative comes up and they back out. They said that people should experience their music in album form only. B*stards. Remember when they were actually cool and rebellious? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miamisammy29 Posted December 5, 2005 Report Share Posted December 5, 2005 Metallica - Remember when they were actually cool and rebellious? No. They play good music, but my most glaring memory of Metallica is of Lars Ulrich whining like a little girl about 13-year-olds ripping off his music..."I'm sure their mothers have 16 dollars to give them to buy an album....wah, wah, wah...My mother paid for my albums all during high school and even through my year and a half at Hick Mountain Junior College, where I studied Extortion By Humiliation, with a minor in Public Whining....wah, wah wah..." I'm paraphrasing, of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EagleEye0 Posted December 13, 2005 Report Share Posted December 13, 2005 this is har jr rocker. I remember when I was a freshman in high school two years ago. I did not know who The Doors, Queen, The Who, Deep Purple, Mahanishvu Orchestra, The Police, ect... Howver, at the end of freshman year I did not have a lot of music, and I thought to myself, I have it all, i was sadly mistaken, I had nothing, there was so much more to listen to. At the begining of junior year, present, I own Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimmy1104 Posted January 4, 2006 Report Share Posted January 4, 2006 Welcome to Songfacts Jr. Rocker. Nothing gives me more joy than seeing today's youth listening to Classic Rock. I wish my kids did. As you probably know, alot of classic rock and pop is used commercially today. I doubt you will have the same recurrence with today's music 20 or 30 years from now. There are some great rock albums out there and I can sit here all day and create a huge list. To get you started I would recommend the following albums: Quadrophenia - The Who We're An American Band - Grand Funk Railroad Toys In The Attic - Aerosmith Led Zeppelin IV - Led Zeppelin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moneypenny131 Posted January 4, 2006 Report Share Posted January 4, 2006 Here's a few that I like that haven't been mentioned yet: David Bowie - Hunky Dory The Band - Music From Big Pink The Velvet Underground - I like both Loaded and The Velvet Underground and Nico the best Bob Dylan - The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan Van Morrison - Moondance and also, Astral Weeks And check out Neil Young, The Allman Brothers, Steely Dan, and Cream.

lonelyday Posted January 10, 2006 Report Share Posted January 10, 2006 Also does anyone know if it is Eagles or The Eagles? As Far as I know it's kind of both, they're usually The Eagles, like on the daily top 10 list right now, but on the Hell Freezes Over dvd cover, it just says eagles. It just depends.

Snakebite05 Posted January 11, 2006 Report Share Posted January 11, 2006 (edited) IF you're getting into progressive: Yes Emerson, Lake, and Palmer Jethro Tull Rush Genesis (Gabriel-era, noe of that phil collins sh!t) Kansas Pink Floyd (DSOTM = LEGENDARY) You'll either love or hate prog, though, so be careful with it.
