[The Black Shed]

This is all the rock you'll ever need

You'll be even more shocked when irate Irishmen turn up to correct you. ;-)

Shit, sorry chaps. I just kinda mean't well you know shitty old UK (and possibly ROI) and not shiny America. Well that is how i viewed the world at 10yo anyway. They had films with car chases and we had Percy Sugden. The idea all these groups are from this little group of islands is pretty mad. I assume Led Zepplin are Engli... from this neck of the woods. I think it is really cool, not sure why but it is.

Laughable thread topic this, but anyway, Freebird

Best version? Have a look at this...

I've stood on the side of that stage to watch UFO.

Thanks FB, never got too far into the Skynyrds, but just gotta check out a tune called 'That Smell', 'spesh as it comes from such a quality stable.

That Smell is a brilliant song.

Kiss: Rock n Roll All Nite
Van Halen: Dance The Night Away

AC/DC: You Shook Me All Night Long
Don Henley: Boys of the Summer
Blue Oyster Cult: Don't Fear The Reaper
Lynyrd Skynyrd: Sweet Home Alabama
Boston: More Than A Feeling

quite a few of us need to go on a very long bus ride together with a playlist from this thread - what an enjoyable day that could be !

Ace of Spades. For me, it will never be bettered.

 

[RACHACE]

What constitutes as rock?

For me bands like AC/DC, Kiss, LED Zep, black Sabbath, guns & roses, Motörhead, Metallica are proper rock bands.

I’m not sure Oasis, Rolling Stones or Bowie are though. Or are they rock and the others a more heavy metal?

Or can any individual or band produce a rock song without being generally considered a rock band or artist?

That Smell is a brilliant song.

Never heard it before. And now I have.

That's a doozy!
