This is a thread where you list off and discuss the classic rock "hauls" you bring in, this forum needs one of those. xp Every time you manage to grab some albums, post about it here, for discussion, or just bragging rights. I'll start off with my haul from today. biggrin

Vinyl:

Creedence Clearwater Revival -- Green River
Derek and the Dominoes -- Layla
Iron Butterfly -- In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida
Lynyrd Skynyrd -- Street Survivors(Original cover with flames version! biggrin )

CD:

The Beatles -- Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band

I probably would have ended up with a Rolling Stones and Grateful Dead album, too, however, I had to make sacrifices when I saw that Lynyrd Skynyrd for sale...(it was $25)

I recently got Screamin' Jay Hawkins' "She Put the Wamme On Me". Hey, 50's soul = Pre-rock. I plan on purchasing Cheap Thrills by Janis Joplin soon.

I was tempted to pick up Janis Joplin's Pearl album on vinyl when I saw it in pretty good condition for $10 today, however, I couldn't afford to in the end.

I don't have a record player.

And this is off-topic, but New Wave isn't Classic Rock, it's anti-classic rock. Like punk.

I didn't add New Wave. Bother Metalhead76 about it. xp (I'm assuming she did...)

And yeah...hell, I'd pick that album up on CD, also. As long as I had it, it wouldn't matter too much.

She didn't, but blues rock, shouldn't be in the same category as southern. Please get Aerosmith off of there before I kill someone. And Stevie Ray is blues rock.

Aerosmith is VERY blues-based so they belong. And yes, blues rock SHOULD be grouped with southern rock, southern rock is heavily steeped in blues, also, so it's a rather fitting match. I'm fully aware of it that Stevie Ray Vaughan is blues rock, however, he's not from the classic rock period, so he isn't on the list.

But Van Halen are?

Aerosmith may have had two blues-based songs. But that is not their category.

The majority of their early albums are blues based, and they consistently reference blues influences. And yes, Van Halen are from that period. The "classic rock" period was from the 60's to the 70's, this puts them in that period. Stevie Ray Vaughan started in the 80's, so he's not part of that movement. He was more of a blues guitarist than a blues-rock guitarist, anyway. (He seemed to me primarily a blues guitarist, with a few blues-rock songs thrown in for good measure)

Someday he'll be called classic-rock. Maybe in the year 2010. And yes, Mama-Kin is a bluesy song(My favorite Aerosmith song). But after Walk This Way nothing was bluesy anymore.

He'll never be called classic rock, because the period of music that's known as classic rock has already been set, and will remain that way. About Aerosmith...I tell you what....we'll compromise. Since some of their work was bluesy, I'll leave them in that section, but add them to the hard rock section, too. Is that fair?

EDIT: Just remembered that I already did that. xd

So...okay, I don't see the problem. Some of their work fit the category, and it's not the only one they're listed in. sweatdrop

In that case I insist that Pink floyd be added to the Prog. list. They were Pyschedelic when Barret was around, and when he went insane they became Prog.

Sure, I meant to add Pink Floyd to the prog list, anyway. 3nodding Damn memory problems...


....and I checked the thread, and LO AND BEHOLD..I DID remember to add them to the prog list, I thought I had....Maybe you should check that thread again.

I believe I said in that thread that even though new wave wasn't an exact classic rock subcategory, the bands in it were very closely related to classic rock. For example, the Cars, the Police.. ect. In fact, I just heard "Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic" on the classic rock station. (And please don't try to say that I get my subgenre standards by whatever I hear on the radio, I was just backing up my point).

Anyways, I went to a Goodwill about a week or two ago, and I got the following on vinyl:

Rick Springfield- Working Class Dog
Billy Joel- The Stranger
Billy Joel- Glass Houses
.38 Special- Special Forces

$3 for the whole lot of 'em, .75 cents a piece. heart Although I think I might have had two of them already, but with 310+ albums that I myself didn't buy, how am I supposed to remember?

Hey, is that "Let the Good Times Roll" I hear on the radio? I think it is. xp

Haha, I got all of mine for $60, total. It probably would have been less but due to that Skynyrd record being rare and $25 and it being a legitimate record shop, it ended up that way... xp However, every single record I picked up I was planning to go to Best Buy and buy on CD, so I got most of the stuff I wanted to pick up that day at half price! xd I say MOST, because Eat A Peach eluded me, again. Damn my MP3s. xp

And 310 + albums, AND a .38 Special album? s**t, if you have a double of that, I'll buy one of the copies from you! xd (Yes, I'm serious...)
