Project Classic Rock

[Maulik]

project classic rock: I'm beginning a classic rock collection. if you can help me catalouge albums, year by year, drinks await you at the bar. [I'm leaning toward beginning after the Elvis years.]

or looking for any good message boards that could help me undertake this project.

If you truly have no knowledge of classic rock, here's your best bet. Stay up late and wait for an infomercial that sell's a classic rock anthology. Then use the names on the CD's to start buying new stuff.

[tdarko]

no please do not do that!

[Maulik]

i'm not buying all the pop hits, althought many were good.

[James Boston]

I didn't say those TV collections were any good. But you seem to need a starting point.

[MEbenhoe]

What exactly are you looking for? Names of good classic rock albums that you should have?

[tdarko]

my favorites:
zeppelin- physical graffitti
hendrix- are you experienced?
the doors- the doors
the doors- riders on the storm
the rolling stones- exile on main st.
the who- tommy
bob dylan- blood on the tracks
bob dylan- blonde on blonde
jethro tull- aqualung
the beatles- the white album
the beatles- revolver
the beatles- rubber soul
the beatles- magical mystery tour
moody blues- a question of balance
fleetwood mac- rumours
bad company- bad company
aerosmith- toys in the attic
aerosmith- rocks
supertramp- breakfast in america
crosby stills nash & young- deja vu

there are thousands more that i cannot think of off the top of my head, of course these are my favorites and it doesn't mean they will be yours.

Kashmir is not an album. That's a fairly standard list though for a CR rookie. Some good basic stuff there.

first of all the orignal post was band and my favorite songs by them and that was the one i didn't change when i realized it was albums not songs, secondly i changed before you every chimed in.

i was just going off the top of my head.
