Greatest Rock Album of All Times

Re: Greatest Rock Album of All Times

Being called a F***ing nazi in my book is reason enough for being banned. I've been pretty understanding with some stuff that has been said, and let a lot of stuff slide (both in the forums and in emails sent to me directly). Frankly i'm done being understanding. People have had their chance to "let it out". The handful of people that cause the problems are the ones that don't see the 25+ other forums below the lounge. Those forums are the reason this site exists.

As I have said in many posts, if you have a question regarding the deletion of a post or ban, contact me directly at [email protected].


Now, to get back on topic

My vote has to be Nevermind - still a great album

Re: Greatest Rock Album of All Times

not sure if a greatest hits qualifies, and maybe that's another category all together, but i still listen to and enjoy steve miller band's greatest. though paul pena's jet airliner is a tad better i would have never heard it if it weren't for the steve miller band. i remember going through at least 3 of these cassettes when i was younger. hell, might have even had that on 8 track...

Five Man Electrical Band is the band. Signs is the song. Good-byes and Butterflies was the album. I think Tesla had about the best cover and pretty much brought the song to the mainstream. Probably not the best rock "album" of all time. Decent song though.

The debut album by Boston although some will argue it was studio created it was still some great stuff.

Speaking of Tesla I just saw them at the Virginia Beach Ampitheatre, they are awesome live. The Cowboy song was a jam and a half.

oh and lol about Nirvana, they sucked melons IMHO.

Please what? I call 'um as I see 'um. Not name calling to speak the truth. Seems to me the Mods here live in a dream world. Deleting post willy-nilly for no apparent reason, funny how my nazi comment is still up tho, or was last time I looked. Guess because it doesn't have a banned persons name in it or a link to another forum it's OK.

good lord, give it a rest. we all get it. you dont like it here, and you dont agree with anything any of the mods have said or done. point taken. lets talk rock and roll albums.

Van Halen's self-titled debut is one of my favorite rock albums. no synthesisers or sammy hagar on that one. just good old fashioned rock and roll.

Re: Greatest Rock Album of All Times

agree Chris!!

Eddy Van Halen took me some time to "get", but he truly IS the rock guitarist guitar player.

Re: Greatest Rock Album of All Times

id like to see the upcoming van halen/david lee roth reunion tour, but im afraid to ask how much those tickets will be. i might splurge though. as much as i like van halen, i never saw them perform with DLR.

Re: Greatest Rock Album of All Times

I was more than willing to give it a rest, Don is the one who started it back up. This place while dry is still a great resource for prepress issues. As far as I'm concerned the matter is closed. I saw Van Halen while I was stationed in Germany. Nothing like an american concert. No standing and they had old men in uniforms walking around with cans acting as human ashtray for smokers. BTW Van Halen kicked ass!
Black Sabbath was the main act and Ozzy seemed to be coherent for a change and put on a great show as well.

Re: Greatest Rock Album of All Times

ive seen david lee roth without van halen, and that to me was better than van halen without DLR. plus, DLR played much smaller venues, so you were right on top of the action. ive never been to a concert where everyone sat down...thats hard to imagine! whever i leave a concert, i usually FEEL and SMELL like an ashtray!

Re: Greatest Rock Album of All Times

hmmm this sounds like some thinly veiled Sammy bashing.

Standing Hampton, Three lock box, I never said goodbye.

Not to mention Montrose, HSAS and his time with VanHalen.

All hail the RedRocker!

p.s. DLR is bald heh heh

Re: Greatest Rock Album of All Times

sammy and dave both look like 25 miles of bad road, not to mention the van halen brothers. i actually dont have any issue with sammy hagar, i just like the raw sound of early van halen a little better. i do like the "for unlawful carnal knowledge" cd, that was sammys best in my opinion.
