Probably the greatest rock album ever

Nice cover too.

 

Crap band though

 

Led Zep 4.

Accept No Imitations.

 

Zep 3 was a better cover than the forth album,and shame on you for calling it Zep4,it doesn't exist

 

Well, I just sampled the clips of the greatest rock album ever at http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B000001F45/104-6094526-2551901?v=glance

Frankly, if that is the greatest rock album ever then I think I will have to join tones and co. and start listening to Bach.

 

Humm, another ones for Tones I feel

 

Its there best album,but like Jethro Tull,they haven't aged well and a lot of their stuff was mediocre.A lot if bands from the seventies are in the same category.Rare bands like Diamond Head were consistently brilliant and under rated imo.

 

I'd like to nominate On Stage by Rainbow, definitely one of my most listened to albums

 

I prefer Long Live Rock and Roll,primarily because I saw them on tour around the same time I bought it.Ritchie was at his baddest and maddest I think

 

You'll be going to see Ronnie James Dio when he tours here in October then, I hope? Knocks out loads of the classic Rainbow stuff, along with some Sabbath and, obviously, Dio too.

 

I try to,but I don't get to many gigs nowadays.I console myself knowing I saw all the great line-ups in the late seventies early eighties,Bon Scott,Phil Lynot,Gillan,MSG,UFO,Rainbow,Leppard when fully limbed,etc etc

 

Dave how old were you then?
I mean LLRR was a 77 tour, your 40 tops, so did your dad kiss Ritchies strat to get you in & promise no beer after 9pm?

 

It's good but IMHO bettered somewhat by Demons & Wizards

 

I dont think I could name a single best rock album

oh alright, why not, I'll pick a favourite

Track listing:

1. Foxy Lady
2. Manic Depression
3. Red House
4. Can You See Me
5. Love Or Confusion
6. I Don't Live Today
7. May This Be Love
8. Fire
9. Third Stone From The Sun
10. Remember
11. Are You Experienced
12. Hey Joe
13. Stone Free
14. Purple Haze
15. 51st Anniversary
16. Wind Cries Mary
17. Highway Chile

 

No no, Hendrix was a fine (if tasteless) guitarist but he should have neither singed nor composed - the results were pure poison.

UH's Demons & Wizards is very good indeed.
Their Look at yourself album is a classic, esp. "July morning". Tones, get that one, it's like 20th century Bach.
I think 1971-1972 U.Heep has aged well. Of course they made a lot of crap too.

 

Well, here's another candidate for the best rock album ever.
It has:
1. A Hard Day's Night
2. I Should Have Known Better
3. If I Fell
4. I'm Happy Just To Dance With You
5. And I Love Her
6. Tell Me Why
7. Can't Buy Me Love
8. Any Time At All
9. I'll Cry Instead
10. Things We Said Today
11. When I Get Home
12. You Can't Do That
13. I'll Be Back

 

Tony me old mucker,I went to gigs from the age of 14,78 was the first year,Blackburn St Georges Hall and Preston Guild Hall,had no probs getting in.I went to The Monsters Of Rock and Donnington in 78 though,I think,can't remember tbh,maybe 79.In those days you could see ACDC,Rainbow and UFO all at the same gig.Superb.

My mates dad did artwork for The Gillan Band thats how i got in the early gigs,although I regret that,the Gillan gigs were mostly shit.

 

Back Street Symphony - Thunder. If ya like that kinda thing that is.

 

Yes 1980 was the first MOR, Bonnet was crap and stargazer was dire, but April wine did play a mean gig
You old fart Dave, 14 in 78 whoo geeerrry artric
Yes remember it all well Maiden played EVES in Cheltenham in 79 on the Killers Tour (Dianno singing)
I did 200+ gigs between 79 and 88 we must have bumped into each other Sabbath Hammy O 80 Heaven & Hell tour, UFO Colsten hall, mechanix tour, Rush too oh those long journys up the M4 in a tranny van on a wednesday nite :lol:
Gillain 7 times, not all shite, one of the last gigs he played was the Glos Leisure centre Oct 82, not too bad a gig, shanme the band had no idea he'd migrated to the Sabs !!!!
Even Bloody Saxon 3 times, Syill have the blood stained t shirts some where......................

 

Yep,did Saxon twice,Samson,Vardis plus quite a few other thrash bands before anyone knew thrash existed

Gillan was better live than on vinyl though,Mr Universe had some great gig tracks on it,they just sound crap on record! Maiden did some great gigs with Dianno,and I also saw Bonnet,Bon Scott and Brian Johnson and the Johnson gigs I saw blew away anything I saw with Scott!! Rush were just awesome,as were Lizzy,in fact my fave gigs were the Lizzy gigs.

200,jesus,I did about 40 I think between 78 and 82.Krokus was the last one I think.

Theres a 747 coming down in the night,dur,dur,dur,duuuuuuuuuur......
