    Duh, Bryan Adams, Summer of '69. Drudging up the memories here.

    Last month, I heard Bryan Adams interviewed on CBC and he said "Summer of '69" wasn't about the year 1969. I wonder what he meant :rolleyes: :eek: :D

    No one mention Van Halen? Get their 2 CD "Best of Both Worlds"

    Amen brother. Or Mike Bloomfield and Al Kooper doing Dear Mr. Fantasy live.

    The "Magic Desk" at work again. I showed up at the squadron this morning and a absolutely mint copy of the double album "Deep Purple in Concert" is sitting on it. I love that desk. Never accomplished any work at it, but I love it nonetheless.

    GG - +1 on Deep Purple! I have been picking up a few of the Steve Hoffman remasters and the MFSL remasters on CD of the Deep Purple albums. I know it's not vinyl, however they are very well done.

    Boston

    Ack! How could I forget Boston??? The first album is essential!

    Also forgot to throw in ELO (Electric Light Orchestra). Can't recommend a specific album though since they have such a wealth of material; a good GH compilation or boxed set is probably the way to go.

    I've been staring at this thread since it started. I couldn't possibly name just a few, there are so many, but I have 1 in the cdp right now that is on my long list.

    UFO-Strangers In The Night (remaster).

    This is the definitive UFO cd as well as a superb example of the last of the classic rock era. Michael Schenker is in top form and Phil Mogg on vocals is as classic as British singers can get. Why these guy's never made it big in the states is a mystery to me. The remaster is a superb recording compared to the original cd release. If more engineers made improvements like this I'd be very satisfied. This is a must in any classic cd collection. One of the best, if not the best live albums of the era. I think it tops Peter Frampton Comes Alive , any of the offerings from Kiss and in a few aspects is more enjoyable than Deep Purple Made In Japan. The former certainly deserve to be in this thread as well.

    More to come........

    Can't forget about the most underated guitarist of alltime

    Jeff Beck-Truth
    Jeff Beck-Beck-Ola
    Jeff Beck-Blow by Blow
    Jeff Beck-Wired

    All are classics especially the latter two. You have to have some Jeff Beck in your classic rock collection

    Listening to Blow by Blow right now. Fantastic hard driving, fusion rock, very well produced and orchestrated by none other than George Martin and very enjoyable listen, especially the remaster.

    +1 on Strangers in the Night, excellent driving CD. Years ago I went to a concert at Vets Auditorium in Des Moines that had UFO leading up to Golden Earring, with AC/DC as the headliner. It was right after Golden Earring released Grab it for Second. Both Schenker brothers, Michael and Rudolph I believe, showed up to play with UFO. They absolutely stole the show!!! They put on a guitar show that left the crowd in silence. I have never seen anything like it since.

    Another late 70's band that you don't see many CD's for is Starz! They were kind of a fun rock band, especially in a small concert venue.

    Wow, a lot of residue kicked loose on that one!

    Yep, I saw UFO sans Schenker in Rockford at the Metro Center the 2nd year it was open around 1983'ish. I saw the Scorpions (Rudolph Schenker) there as well around the same time. I think M. Schenker reached his peak right before he left UFO and was never able to quite to duplicate what he did between the years of 1974-1979.

    I suppose The Scorpions deserve a mention as well if we are talking classic rock. Glad that residue kicked loose Doug!!!! What else is rattleing around up there? ;)

    Lots of good picks so far, many would have been on my list. I'll try a few more from my wine clouded memory without peeking at my own vinyl or Cds.:rolleyes:

    Elton John-Madman Across Water
    Beatles (lots but)- Revolver, Rubber Soul, Magical Mystry Tour, Sgt. Pepper
    Stones- Hot Rocks, Sticky Fingers
    Neil Young- Harvest, After the Gold Rush, his new best of is GREAT
    Crosby Stills Nash- other titles mentioned above but another new best of is very good
    Doors- LA Women
    David Bowie (very debatable with the fans)- Ziggy Stardust, Low, Aladdin Sane
    Dave Mason (personal favorite)- Alone Together
    Traffic- Low Spark of High Heeled Boys, John Barleycorn Must Die, Shootout at Fantasy Factory
    Marshall Tucker Band (southern rock)-Fire on Mountain, A New Life
    ZZ Top- Fandango
    Steely Dan (love em)- Can't Buy a Thrill, Katy Lied, Countdown to Ecstacy, Aja
    Janis Joplin- Pearl, Cheap Thrillls
    Joe Walsh- Smoker You Drink, Player You Get
    Mott the Hoople- All the Young Dudes
    Spirit (classic album)- 12 Dreams of Dr. Sardonicus
    Robert Palmer- Sneeking Sally though Alley
    Who- Quadrophinia
    Hall and Oates- Abandoned Lunchenette
    Joni Michell- Court and Spark, Blue, Ladies of Canyon
    Cat Stevens- Tea for Tillerman
    Springsteen (totally agree with George Grand, but if you HAVE to pick): Greetings from Asbury Park
    Pink Floyd- Animals
    Clash- London Calling
    Van Morrison-Moondance
    Derek and Dominoes- Layla...
    Patti Smith- Horses
    Moody Blues- Question of Balance
    Talking Heads (my favorite album)- Stop Making Sense

    An absolute personal '70's rock fav:
    Johnny Winter And- Live; version of Jumpin Jack Flash is better than Stone's (IMO) and a killer Johnny Be Goode


    Crap, what if I actually peeked!

    Contrary to a previous post, the time it takes me to change the station when a song by Boston comes on surpasses the speed of light. Hated them then, and still do.;)

    This is such a good list of classic rock, that I wanted to somehow list all the albums recommended here so that I could go through and listen to samples of the albums on barnesandnoble.com and make a list of ones I want to buy, or at least prioritize it.

    So, I added every album recommended in this thread so far to the 'Wanted' category in my cd-tracker list. Also, each title is a link to B&N's page on it, so I (and you) can click on it and listen to samples of the songs on that CD.

    I did it for me, but I thought some of you might find it helpful, too.

    then click on 'Wanted' at the top.

    Of course, if you want an obscure guitar song, try David Werner's one hit, "One More Wild Guitar"...

    As for a classics list... capecodder's, shack's and a couple others are very good... Special kudos for mentions of Spirit, The Clash, Robert Palmer, Joni Mitchell and Dave Mason, as well as James Gang...

    Have to add though:

    Yes - Close to the Edge
    Bowie - Hunky Dory
    Pure Prarie League - Amie (tough to find, but good Hits collections include it)
    Lou Reed - Rock'n'Roll Animal
    Carol King - Tapestry (may not rock, but it's a classic with a capital "C")
    The Who - Tommy
    Steve Miller - Sailor
    EL&P - s/t
    Allman Brothers - Eat a Peach

    A car is considered "classic" when it reaches 25 years of age. I think the word "classic" is being bandied about here by some people that might not be "classics" themselves yet. Use the 25 year criteria, and the list of stuff on this thread gets considerably shorter.

    Edited to agree and BIG +1 to Codders addition of Johnny Winter And - Live. The medley with JJ Flash absolutely smokes. The drummer is on fire and Rick Derringer is aboard too. Great stuff.

    Also Nazz - "Nazz" The self-titled first album by this Filthadelphia band features Todd Rundgren (who never did anything else near as good). It is the first appearance of his crummy ballad "Hello It's Me" which he would continue to release as a single once every decade until little girls bought it and made it a Top 10 thing. This 1960's album is pure, unadulterated, joyous rock. NOT heavy metal, just great rock. Excellent drummer.

    In the same theme I recently found this interview with Carmine Appice a very popular drummer in the late 60's w/Vanilla Fudge. Still popular today and considered by many to be one of the best. He was the one who had much influence on John Bonham. In the interview he talks alot about the classic days, including Jimi Hendrix, Led Zep, Jeff Beck, Ozzy, Rod Stewart, etc. A good read even though it's quite long. In the spirit of classic rock I'd thought I'd post the link. This is a recent interview done in Feb. of this year.

    George- 'preciate the the fact that someone else 'preciates the Johnny Winter Album. I have always loved it and once played it to my then 15 yr old son (who is now 21 and probably knows music better than me now) and it helped develop his admiration of "classic" artists, particularly ones that don't get the every 20 minute repeat play on "classic rock" stations. Rick Derringer (great guitar work and player in general) looks about 15 yrs old. Saw Johnny at a local Cape Cod blues festival couple yrs ago and sadly time has taken its toll with this hugely talented albino. Frankly, general consensus 20 yrs ago was that he never would make it this long in life given his genetics.

    I am intriqued with Nazz though. I am a Philly area native and never heard of them although I like the Runt. Just checked their reviews on Amazon and this looks like a real winner. Its now on its way to me. Thanks for the tip. I have noticed your repeated impressive info and knowledge on music and agree with many of your opinions and points.

    Lots of valuable insight on music in general is generated in this Polk forum!:)

    Another vote for this Johnny Winter classic. I've owned this on vinyl, 8-track, and CD. Wore the grooves out of the vinyl, and we all know what happens to 8-tracks. :D

    Codder, you want that Nazz album or CD. It's self titled, and the cover is a black background with the four bandmembers faces on it. They released at least one more album after that, but I never heard it.

    If you were from the area, maybe those guys went on to do more things.
    In addition to Rundgren, NAZZ was:

    Thom Mooney drums (great drummer)
    Carson Van Osten bass
    Paul Stewkey keyboards

    Don't recognize the names, but thats not saying much. I did grab the Nazz CD from Amazon, the one you mentioned. Looks like their next one is titled Nazz Nazz (by the Nazz) as opposed to Nazz (by the Nazz). The second got some good reviews also. I'll wait till I hear the first. Guess 'nazz enough.

    Lot's of great suggestions. I thought of another not mentioned

    Janis Joplin w/ Big Brother and the Holding Co. or with the Full Tilt Boogie Band.

    A good starter is

    The Very Best of Janis Joplin
    or
    Pearl-2 cd Box set.

    No classic collection is complete without JJ

    It also appears that no "classic" rock collection is complete without some of the "classic" big-hair, heavy-metal bands of the late 80's/early 90's.

    Good for you codder, have fun with that.

    I was flippin through the dial on my way home the other night and came across:

    House of Hair - Sunday nights from 10:00 to midnight, featuring the "Hair Bands"!

    Besides the wailing and rattling of chains….the reverberation of sounds off of hairspray hardened locks and spandex was simply too much to bear.
