Who was hiding the Beatles from us?

I just can’t listen to them anymore; my parents were teenagers when they came out and of course listened to it; heard it growing up and can’t take it anymore. My dad was a big fan of Elvis and Johnny Cash, and I agree with Cash for sure. I’m in the same boat as another poster: I’ll take the Stones before the Beattles, especially the earlier stuff like Paint It Black and this era.
I liked Lenon’s scratchy voice way more than Paul, especially on songs like Revolution. The Stone Temple Pilots’ cover was great (and sadly both performers died too soon).

Im more of a Rolling Stones fan so I recommend giving them a go as well.
I agree. I’d especially listen to the ‘68-‘72 Stones (Beggars Banquet, Let it Bleed, Sticky Fingers, and Exile on Main St.). In my opinion, no band has ever released a better string of albums (or at least rock and roll albums) than the Stones did between those years. If you find that you like that stuff, then I’d recommend checking out Get Yer Ya Ya’s Out (a live album from 1969) and various live bootlegs from 1972. Happy listening!

Sgt peppers and magical mystery tour are the trippy albums but my favourite 2 albums for me were ....rubber soul and revolver ....when they started to ‘experiment’ ......also maybe you already know but pink floyd are pretty dope too!

Sammy era as well 🤪 -
Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd say hello.
Expand your musical mind, and good things will come.

Listening to Pink Floyd for the first time was an experience I”ll never forget. The “space rock” feel is something you just cant mimic. Just unreal talent!

Every music evolves from another. Very very very few artists though have the staying power and can truly be tied all the way back to music decades before.
Classical, blues, funk, big band... They all lead to rock, pop, r&b etc. Finding organic relationships to each other is one of the greatest aspects of music.

Anyone else here from the all-night queue in 1993 at the Ticketmaster outlet near Chattanooga, for Pink Floyd tix in Nashville the next year? I was second in line with my university buds and when the doors opened in the morning, the computers went down for 30 minutes. We ended up waaaay at the back of Vanderbilt Stadium. Still a great show.

There are some musicians that have always been there, but you might not have appreciated them as much until you listen to everything. I would say mine would be Otis Redding. Everyone knows him for basically just Sittin on the Dock of the Bay, but his whole catalog is amazing. Probably the musician I listen to the most today.

Try Warren Zevon next.

GH2 might be the best of them all imo. Had a soft spot for the Metallica one but some of the non-metallica songs were underwhelming to play.

GH2 was great but GH3 IMO is the best. It also has the most iconic song in the series (through the fire and flames). Easily the best two games though. If you look at the track list for Guitar hero smash hits like 80% of the songs come from 2 and 3

Obviously preference but I found TTFAF to be a huge chore...even more so than Freebird but maybe it helps that I love Freebird as a song and TTFAF is ok at best for me.
I just found the tracks a bit better in general on GH2 but GH3 definitely has some great ones as well (actually a lot more than I remember looking at the track list now)
Also probably doesn't help that I played GH3 on PS3 which required a stupid dongle adapter for the guitar (since I already had the PS2 ones) which basically made it impossible to do hammer ons/offs and it kinda killed the experience.

I loved that game. I never got the 100% drum solo in The End.

I listen to Sittin on the Dock of the Bay almost everyday.

I agree on Free bird, easily one of my favorite songs ever. I'm just saying that if you asked anyone 10 years ago what made someone good at Guitar Hero, the answer would probably be being able to complete TTFAF on expert. I still Played GH3 on the PS2 then again in college on the Xbox 360 a few years ago so GH3 is much more fresh in my mind anyway. Hell I visited a buddy last weekend and played GH3 lol
