FairyFeller Posted August 23, 2007 Author Share Posted August 23, 2007 I've been thinking that I would feature an album in here every week or so thats had a major impact or is highly popular in the classic rock fandom. So to start things off: Album of the Week: Bat Out of Hell - Meat Loaf Even though no one has ever taken Meat Loaf seriously, I think he's great. The album, for those who don't know, is one of the few albums which is in the style of Wagnerian Rock, which was invented by Meat Loaf's songwriter Jim Steinman. Its basically a really intricate, operatic style of rock, but at the same time, its witty, and Meat Loaf has an awesomely powerful voice which fits the songs perfectly. I'd say that even though no one takes Meat Loaf seriously, it doesn't really matter, because Bat Out of Hell has sold 30-some million copies, and is one of the biggest selling albums ever. So if you haven't heard this album, I'd highly recommend it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 I agree with you Fairy Feller. I think I was 12 when I heard Bat Out of Hell for the first time and it impressed me (it was on a tape from the cheaper kind, my aunt brought it from Indonesia ). Got it on CD now and it's still being played in our house (and car) after all those years, it's one of my bf's favourite albums. A little jewel - as we say in Dutch.

martine Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 Yes, that's true. Timeless music, it's a jewel. We're still playing Bat out of Hell here too. When it came out we used to go to a little pub where they played the record (vinyl !) over and over and over again. And 'Two out of three ain't bad' still has a very special meaning to me.

Finkster Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 I've seen Paul McCartney, The Rolling Stones, Elton John, and of course, Queen and Paul Rodgers twice. I think that's it. Oh, I've also seen Cheap Trick at a little festival, and I caught Rick's pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

esperia75 Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 Since we're a massive music loving community, I think its only fair to make a thread for people who love Classic Rock, which is some of the greatest music ever made, and has laid the foundation for many great artists of the present, Mika included. I count classic rock as anything from the 60's all the way to the late 80's. If you want to be a Classic Rocker, just post and I'll assign you a number. Classic Rock Artists/Bands: Led Zeppelin The Beatles The Who The Rolling Stones Deep Purple Rainbow Jimi Hendrix Bob Dylan Scorpions Queen David Bowie The Eagles Foreigner The Doors Genesis Bad Company Free Elton John Guns n' Roses Styx Marillion Fleetwood Mac Pink Floyd Cream The Grateful Dead Journey AC/DC Aerosmith Bad Company Billy Joel Boston Bon Jovi Metallica Eric Clapton Electric Light Orchestra Iron Maiden Judas Priest Rush T.Rex Jefferson Airplane U2 Phish Steely Dan Van Halen Whitesnake And I'll take the honor of being Classic Rocker #1 Cattie Gurl: Classic Rocker #2 Fmbm: Classic Rocker #3 CartoonKellyGreen: Classic Rocker #4 Haylie19: Classic Rocker #5 martine: Classic Rocker #6 mikas_gal07: Classic Rocker #7 Queenie: Classic Rocker #8 mandilambi: Classic Rocker #9 Karolin': Classic Rocker #10 Suzie: Classic Rocker #11 mercurygirl: Classic Rocker #12 Blue: Classic Rocker #13 my_rainbow_radio: Classic Rocker #14 andi: Classic Rocker #15 crina: Classic Rocker #16 heineken22: Classic Rocker #17 kk448: Classic Rocker #18 NYMommyof3: Classic Rocker #19 Finkster: Classic Rocker #20 phunkygal: Classic Rocker #21 YOU'VE TO ADD ME!!!

Okay...still lost Heres a clip that leaked online last week: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VyWgzUGOliw Interesting...hum, I'm a Dylan fan...but I'm more looking foward to U23D (Heard Bob Dylan and Bono are having a good old fashion cat fight after a certain someone(*cough Bono) pissed Dylan off...ITS ON!

FairyFeller Posted August 24, 2007 Author Share Posted August 24, 2007 I've updated the first post with member numbers for people who requested them recently (JeyJen, Esperia75, and Kinga) and I added Janis Joplin to the artist list. ...As for the stuff about Cate Blanchett being one of the people playing Bob Dylan, that is weird, unless its going to be one of those really artistic noir type films.

FairyFeller Posted August 30, 2007 Author Share Posted August 30, 2007 Album of the Week #2: Boston - Boston Boston is one of my favorite of the arena rock bands of the 70's and 80's. Their debut album features the precise guitar playing of Tom Scholz, and the octave shattering voice of Brad Delp (One of the best singers EVER. period. ) The album has some of the band's best songs, and some of the most played songs on classic rock radio, such as More Than A Feeling (the greatest arena rock song EVER.), Foreplay/Long Time, and Rock and Roll Band. Boston's debut album is also the 11th bestselling album of all time, and is still the best-selling debut album of all time, and its an album that I highly recommend.

FairyFeller Posted September 13, 2007 Author Share Posted September 13, 2007 Album of the week # 3 - Led Zeppelin I, by Led Zeppelin This is probably my favorite Led Zeppelin album. Everyone says Zoso is their best album, but I think LZI is more consistent and just an overall better album than Zoso. Led Zeppelin was one of the bands that was essential for laying the groundwork for future rock, hard rock, and heavy metal music (the others being Black Sabbath and Deep Purple) And when it was released all those years ago, LZI was different than anything else. Definitely a record every rock fan should hear at least once, but it takes more than one listen to truly appreciate it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
