You guys have an odd defintion of rock and roll back there. Rock obviously meant something different on the west coast. Ok, here's the acid test. (pun intended) Which would you rather *dance* to..... Roll Over Beethoven (Second Album), or Fixing a Hole (Sgt Pepper)? Long Tall Sally (Second Album), or Lovely Rita Meter Maid (Sgt Pepper)? (that's dance, not march....Lovely Rita would make a better march) Even the boring and simplist rhythm line of "She Loves You...(ya ya ya)" from the second album beats heck out of "For the Benefit of Mr. Kite" from Sgt Pepper- which is most absolutely a march by any standard. And the final arbiter, (big grin here), of course....how much does it sound like the Rolling Stones? [Brown Sugar vs. A Day in the Life] The Stones never forgot how to rock n roll. The Beatles grew bored with rock, began taking themselves seriously as musicians, and Sgt Pepper was a deliberate attempt to leave the "Beatle" era behind. Actual rock groups from the era, in addition to the Rolling Stones, of course, include very non-Beatly acts like Jimi Hendrix, Cream, Grace Slick and the Jefferson Airplane, the Doors, etc. Even Bob Dylan outrocked the Beatles, (on Hwy 61). Try dancing to "Strawberry Fields Forever"..... :-) What do you listen to on your boat? |

Well, there was that whold dumb disco bull**** "Steel Wheels" in the 80's! I can't write as long as yous guys but I will chime in. Although Chuck notes some great bands, (Hendrix is God, Daltry is close) as well as Grace, Airplane and otheres, they are not what we here (east coast) call "Rock and Roll", I find Chucks bands more R+B. Hendrix too is R +B, more like a weird Aerosmith, I even consider the Stones more R+B than R+R. Now Thorogood, Nugent, Derringer, Foghat, Seegar, Springstein, Grand Funk, BTO, even a lot of old Rod Stewart, now that is Rock and Roll. Think of the songs "Roll over Beetoven", "I drink alone", "Some kind of wonderful" etc. that is R+R, boom, boom, boom, boom, that's rock, guitar, bass, drums and a lot of experience with alcohol, As far as where it all got started if you go back a little before me I beleive the first real kick for R+R here was Rock around the Clock when it became the theme for one of the first real rebel movies and the kids tore the place apart. Of course if Brian Setzer (mostly known from his work in the "Stray Cats") ever comes around go see it, now that is Rock and Roll, solid, no excuses... I will say it again. If you are really interested in music from the mid 50's to present, Rock and Roll, R+B, etc, our music, you need to check out LittleStevensUndergroundGarage.com and check out a couple of his shows. I hate this guys politics but the stuff he comes up with is amazing, great music history mixed with very interesting commentary from a guy that has live and played in arguably one of the greatest Rock and Roll bands, "The East Street Band", which is Bruce Spingstein's backup band. Directly relevant to this conversation are shows number 260 and 258. One is on the beginning of Rock and Roll, the other talks about the Chicago influence. Sorry chuck, mid landers and east coasters really have it sewed up for R+R and R+B, yous guys brought more acid rock and slower softer beats to the scene. Later guys, gotta go make more sausage and beer which is what we are doing to day with the son in law while the girls go pickout wedding ****.. |

The conversation has come off to where and when rock got it's real
start, Go to this link and scroll down to show #260 (pirate radio). You must have flash player installed to hear the show but it is worth it. This is one version of the beginning of rock and roll, from someone who knows how and who, rocks. http://www.littlestevensundergroundg...y/archive.html I don't want to sound like a machine but this show is in my opinion a must listen for anyone who ever and especially those who still rock. Give it a few minutes, Steven is a great DJ, brings you home. |
