  1. Right after Neil Young, these guys were the best music Canada ever produced. Sorry Rush fans...
  2. If anyone likes rap/is at least open to it or is a fan of the Black Keys... you should check out the Blakroc album. Give it a chance. It's one of the albums that helped me get over my distaste for rap. There is good rap and the crap you hear on the radio. This is the good stuff. I promise.
  3. Honestly, my favorite album is a tie between Magic Potion and Chulahoma. I liked Brothers, but I worry about them trending away from the dirty, crunchy blues rock they built their careers from.
  4. It's kinda a year in review for me, but it's the first time I've really been able to go and see concerts. -July: Fang Island, The Black Keys and The Flaming Lips @ CMAC -November: John McLaughlin and the 4th Dimension @ Keswick Theatre in Glenside, PA -December: The Waiting Room (A Peter Gabriel era, Genesis tribute band) @ Waterstreet Music Hall
  5. Vanilla Fudge- You Just Keep Me Hangin' On http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gR_oj3rN50I A brilliant psychedelic symphony and a completely different sound compared to the original done by The Supremes.
  6. The King Khan & BBQ Show Two guys who play dirty, raunchy, lo-fi garage rock. The song I posted is one of their best, but a fair warning, the lyrics (especially the chorus) are rather graphic and there is some language... but nothing we can't handle, right? Fang Island (Ignore the basketball, it was the only video I could find that had the studio version) I saw these guys as the opening act for The Black Keys and The Flaming Lips. 3 guitarists with one sometimes playing keyboard, a bassist and a drummer. In a nutshell, they're a combination of Trans Siberian Orchestra, inde pop and prog metal. A weird combination, but they're still awesome.
  7. I went to see The Goods: Live Hard. Sell Hard. It was alright. It's not on the same level as Anchorman or Step Brothers but it had its moments. There was only 1 true gut buster and some of the jokes either fell flat or were predictable. If you've seen the commercial, those are not the funniest jokes in the movie and it has its moments. Cool story line, but some of the scenes felt a wee bit awkward. However, Will Ferrell had an EPIC cameo and his scene was by far the funniest thing in the movie.
  8. I think the final, whole point is it's stupid to be impaired/under the influence when you're driving. Stories like these are why pot for recreational use will not be legal. However, medicinal marijuana I think will be more and more common, on a state-by-state level.
  9. slap a patent on that sir and you have a winner!
  10. Led-head is my personal favorite but then again... imagine the wrath if we infringe on the copyright of the Dead-heads!
  11. On Friday, the 24th I saw my local orchestra (Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra) along with singer Randy Jackson (from an 80's band called Zebra, if anyone recognized the name) and a full rock band perform symphonic Led Zeppelin. It was amazing. Of course, Kashmir was the best song but the full set list was... Good Times Bad Times Ramble On The Rain Song Kashmir Black Dog Since I've Been Loving You The Ocean -Intermission- The Song Remains the Same Going to California Dancing Days Moby Dick All My Love Heartbreaker (with the first section of Misty Mountain Hop in the middle of the solo) Whole Lotta Love Immigrant Song Stairway to Heaven This isn't from the specific concert I went too, but this is from the same "tour" and basically sounds the same
  12. As long as it is the original awesome Scooby Doo from the 1970's and not the crappy one from the 2000's... you shall not be judged
  13. While My Guitar Gently Weeps- George Harrison (from The Concert for Bangladesh)
  14. I'm not huge into Styx, but I love the song Suite Madam Blue. And the Equinox album cover is pretty cool (and one else see a pirate ship in the middle of the ice cube......? ) Another band that started off with a touch and art/prog, and turned into a run of the mill late 70's, early 80's arena rock band.
  15. The failure of "The War On Drugs", the money we have spent and the total lack of progress we have made, makes legalizing the hippie lettuce a tempting idea. Combine that with the faltering of the economy, it seems like a sure-fire solution. You could even argue that the depression happened and was made worse because of prohibition. All three are legitimate points for legalizing wacky tobaccy. I can guarantee the majority of Americans would not support this on federal legislation. On a state level... it may happen. I do think medicinal Marijuana has a future and will be used more and more through out the country. But widespread legalization is not a plausible idea.
  16. I love the quasi-jazz sound on Islands. It has a strange resemblance to some Miles Davis work from Sketches of Spain and In A Silent Way. It's probably the 'weakest' of their early albums, but that says a lot for the quality of music they managed to put out.
  17. It's a great album. I've heard the whole discography since I made that post. I more or less dug up that thread to post the story about guitar hero.
  18. Interesting news... King Crimson will be featured on Guitar Hero 5. The song is 21st Century Schizoid Man. I'm shocked, considering the band is not even sold on iTunes or other digital music stores. I'm happy that people will get to hear the song, but I'm not sure how it will translate on the game.
  19. I like Mahavishnu Orchestra. Have you listened to Soft Machine?
  20. To a degree....... Bitches Brew and In a Silent Way have been discribed as fusion albums with some rock influence; compared to Kind of Blue and Sketches of Spain. Those are the only albums I've heard by him so far so I don't know about any other albums he did. But in the late 60's and early 70's there was more if a rock influence in his work.
  21. What do you get when you cross Pac-Man, a french dude and the show Jackass...?
  22. huge VDGG fan! I only have the first 3 albums, but from what I know, I'm not sure if I would be interested in the talking heads-esque later albums the quite zone/pleasure dome and god bluff and Peter Hammill's voice is one of the best in prog... he shines in songs like killer, which may be my 2nd favorite prog song next to 21st century schizoid man
  23. I agree with that too. Progressive rock had always been very rich, with many layers and details; as you said, lush is a great way to discribe it.
