Love The Doors, and I'm sure they will get some discussion - their first album and last album are both iconic. I will say the one thing that bugs me about the Doors is how poor / thin their live stuff sounds. Ray handling the bass just doesn't work for a big sound. The best live recordings of them are all about Jim. If he was on, it's a good listen. If he's not, it's boring.
Early times yet for this thread. I started it this weekend. Be patient.rustycolts said:
Listened to Clockwork Angels...just not for me. I had to put on Fly By Night to get my head right.Todem said:
So good.
That is probably the case. Only one I have heard of is the Tedeschi Trucks Band and that is because of Derek Trucks association with the Allmans. I am definitely going to give the bands listed a listen.If you haven't heard of any of these then you haven't been trying.

no, no, no - truth, baby. find the truth. bleed to use the thing that's special inside you. live forever by finding a beauty no one else has. dont protect yourself from life. knock the #### down, bust your head open, give the product to a stranger just for drill, sleep on dirt if it sets you free. we are either gods or bugs. no bug me -
you and most of the world, my friend...thanks, especially dense today apparently.
Ok. Sounds like a Zappa rocker with a better lead vocal to me.
When I was back there in seminary school
Pretentious UCLA film school dropouts who thought that Aldous Huxley was meaningful. Those lyrics suck. I’ve always thought so too.
That is pretty brutal. I have to say while not my favorite band I always liked their music. Even during my post acid and mushroom days. Yep I am really lucky I survived the early 70s.
Too far.
I wasn’t really alive at the time but from what I understand the Doors were much bigger at the time than those bands were and while Morrison’s death did add to their mystique they put out a few classic albums - and just looking at their double records greatest hit album would make your statement above seem misguided at best.
Yes it mostly has. There still is good rock music being made but as an overall movement that is capturing the zeitgeist of the time, it's not in good shape. The last great era was the aughts with White Stripes, Strokes, Black Keys, Modest Mouse, Interpol.rustycolts said:
Great point. Fanboys are the worst but we are living in the age of the fanboy. It has even leaked into politics. Take that for what one will, but Wikkid will know.wikkidpissah said:
Great thread idea.
You are off the rails man.
I think "Classic Rock" deserves some of the blame for the death of rock music in popular culture. AOR format programmers played the familiar 60s and 70s acts to death while refusing admittance to newer rock acts who fit the format musically but not generationally.
Yeah, unpopular is an understatement. May not be your cup of tea but "not that good"? C'mon, nobody could take that seriously.
Porto punk. The Doors were a huge influence on Ian Curtis and you can hear them in Joy Division. Like Echo & the Bunnymen? Ian McCulloch does a good Jim Morrison. Iggy Pop was a huge fan.
the non-bolded are pedestrian for the level of rock band. Now, ofcourse anything by LZ is good because they were exceptional musicians. I am talking relative to the praise given and quality of LZ, those nonbolded songs are weak.
We need to get you on Spotify first of all. It will be hard since I am pretty sure I read you hate technology. Just ask yourself this. For $10 a month, would you want to be able to listen to pretty much any song ever anywhere you go?
Well to each their own of course. I'm not sure most Zep fans would consider them weak.
What would I listen to it on? I mostly listen to CDs in my car. I use you tube or Amazon on my tv
It works on phones and anything that has a web browser (comptuer, tablet). Maybe you just aren't a tech guy, but as a music fan, it is the most amazing thing in the world.
Hey, LZ is a great freaking band. I totally get why people love them. I listen to music others here would laugh at. To each their own like you say. I'm just expressing my opinion and poking the bear a bit here.
