Nope.  Classic rock isn't meant to be discussed or conversed about, intellec-

I know this group is for classic rock, but anybody
out there want to discuss the BLUES as well.
Maybe "Loose Bruce"  out in Atlanta?  Anyone else?

Blues greats such as Robert Johnson, Henrey Townsend, Muddy
Waters, Howlin' Wolf, Sonny Boy Williamson, Memphis
Minnie, Joe Turner, Leadbelly, Blind Willie Johnson,
T-Bone Walker, Willie Dixon, John Hurt....had an important
influence on classic R&R performers.  The likes of Eric
Clapton, Mick Fleetwood and Led Zep found their roots in
songs like Salty Dog, Red Rooster, Travelin' Blues and Horny
Frog.  The Blues influence cannot be overlooked when talking
about R&R.  Hell, even Mick Jagger and the Stones covered
Blues songs that they grew up on.

Anyway, just a thought I felt I'd throw your way.

I was the one (Alok & not Arun) who first posted a message regarding
Def Leppard. I had heard one or two of their old songs and felt that
it fit the genre of classic rock-n-roll. I had not heard their new
music and did not know how good or bad they were, hence my first and
only posting till now which ENQUIRED if they classified as classic
rock-n-roll. I got the opinion of several people through previous
posts and appreciate it. 

My favorite group is still the Beatles with Doors, Floyd, Deep Purple,
Led Zep in close succession. But I still like to keep my mind open to
other groups (which is why I'm on this newsgroup in the first place.....).

How can the greatest phenomena in R & R be anything other than

I am sure there is no group to surpass the poetry of none other

Areosmith, The Who, Hendrix, all have their own realms where
they are uncomaprable, but only Doors and Zep can be called
phenomenas, by which all music ever will be measured, hey,

Are you not by any chance referring to Marillion? Many times they have
been likened to Genesis, and also described as Floyd imitators. I
absolutely disagree with this, even though you can see Pink Floyd LP's
pictured on one of their album's cover. I think they have (had) quite a
unique sound, I'd never miss it, and mainly due to Fish (Derek Dick if
I'm not mistaken) - the vocal. No question that after his departure
the band ain't the same. Script for a Jester's Tear, Fugazi and
Misplaced Childhood are excellent albums, each with its own
individuality, yet all with the same Marillion-signature sound. They
sometimes appear in Metal Hammer, but I definitely wouldn't call them
a heavy metal band. Perhaps they could be compared to Floyd's latest
albums ('79 - '83), loaded with social issues etc. But musically their
on their own.
IMHO, that is.

Well, they did record it on "Shades of Deep Purple" - and tried to claim
writing credit for it, as I recall - but since SODP came out in late '68,
their version was more like the *last*...

>I believe that's earlier than the one done by Hendrix,

Not by a long shot.  Hendrix's version - itself patterned on Tim Rose's -
came out in late '66, possibly early '67.  (TR's full-length LP version -
nearly 5 minutes long - is available once again on one of the Sony/Legacy
"Rock Artifacts" comps.  GET IT.  Hendrix's version is obviously patterned
on the edited single version, which I was about the only person to buy
back when it came out.)

>but I'm wondering if Purple did it as a cover for someone even earlier.

Rhino has issued *two* "Louie Louie" comps and one "La Bamba" comp; I think
it's about time they issued a "Best of Hey Joe".  Among the zillions of covers
I know of:

	The Leaves (probably the first fast version, late '65; a later take
	  hit #31 nationally in Spring '66)
	The Byrds
	Love
	Tim Rose (probably the first slow version - Fall '66)
	Jimi Hendrix
	The Swamp Rats (Pittsburgh garage band, ca. 1966)
	The Stillroven (Twin Cities garage band, late 1968)
	Deep Purple
	Wilson Pickett
	Cher
	The Shadows of Knight

and, of course, the Mothers' parody, "Flower Punk":

	"Hey, punk, where you goin' with that flower in your hand?"
	"I'm goin' to San Francisco, start me a psychedelic band."

>I've wondered about this for quite some time, so I'd appreciate a response
>if anybody knows the answer.  Thanks!! 

Hell, nobody knows who even wrote the damn thing - I've seen it credited to
Billy Roberts, Dino Valenti, and Chet Powers [DV's real name]; Hendrix himself
believed that the song was "about a hundred years old", while Tim Rose's
version is "Traditional; arranged and adapted by Tim Rose".

(I'm also aware of a mid-50's country hit, "Hey Joe" by Carl Smith, but never
having heard it I can't say if it's the same song or not.)

For further information, I refer you to an old Goldmine article, "The History
of 'Hey Joe'", by the aptly-pseudonymed "Giuseppi St. Joseph".

I have been following the recent posts about which is the best rock
band of them all. I think it is difficult to brand one band as the
very best because I feel each of them is great in their own way. Each
one of them is known for certain masterpiece records and certain not
so good ones also.

But I cannot resist to jump in and give my opinions. But instead of
just saying some band is the best I want to compare them in different
aspects of rock music. Here is my choice.

1. Best variety in songs : Led Zeppelin and Jethro Tull. Each of their
songs sound so different from the other. Amazing.
2. Best technical effects: Undoubtedly Pink Floyd. Dark side of the moon
and Wish you were here are glorious.
3. Melody in songs : Pink Floyd and Genesis. Yes comes very close.
4. Best Instrumental effects : Yes, Led Zep, Rush...Well, this is a long
list. I would rather name the members of the group than the group as such.

Like Jimmy page and John Bonham for Led Zep, Dave Gilmour and Rick Wright
for Floyd, Tony Banks for Genesis, Pete Townshend and Keith Moon for Who,
Ian Anderson for Tull, Mark Knopfler for Dire Straits, the lead guitarist
of Lynyrd Skynyrd ( I forget his name, is it Alan Collins??) ....

I am curious as to what others have to say.

It is patently ridiculous to declare

Sure, they're the best.  But they're from 
a different planet; any comparison is unfair.

The best "down to earth" rock bands? 
That's easy:

	The Band
	Little Feat
	The Allman Bros
	Los Lobos

Why?  Because they all *COOK*, 
      and because they all have 
      intelligence and heart.

 discussion.  But the premise is so absurd. ;-)
