QuoteRollingFreak Every song on Aftermath is so damn good. Really? Goin' Home? Anyone? A song pretending to be a jam. Which it is not. What an utter bore. Imagine how they could have used this space for another 2-3 proper songs. This has got to be the worst song the Stones have ever recorded (Indian Girl and Send It To Me come close). You listen to the separated vocals once and you never

Quotetimmyj3 I totally agree on the Monkees being a huge part of the TV and AM radio era which was a huge step in the evolution of rock n roll. Almost all of the 60's and early 70's lighter weight bands have been ignored with prejudice. I dont understand why these groups that we all watched every weekend on Ed Sullivan and Dick Clark and many other hit TV shows are completely ignored.

Quotejohnnythunders I still think Dylan was a rock’n’roller who cynically exploited the folk boom and then jettisoned it as soon as he could to be a pop star, but my friend Harry tells me I ‘m wrong about that Oh, yes!

Quotepmk251 Last week I recorded (again) and watched (again) Don't Look Back, a documentary of Dylan's '65 acoustic tour of England. I'm not sure how any bio-movie could touch that. At that time Bob was the coolest guy on the planet and he knew it. He had the look, the songs, the lyrics and, yes, that voice. The hotel room scene with Donovan is startling, funny, cruel. Bob

QuoteSomeTorontoGirl “Levon Helm said the Band wouldn’t be the Band without him.” The Band wouldn't have been The Band without any of the five guys. Bands with such tightness come around once in a blue moon. It is now the end of the story but not the end of their music. Not a week goes by without me putting on their music. Hate to see Garth go.

Quotewiredallnight I compiled everything that's available (except the official tracks Tallahassie Lassie & The Harder They Come II) Are these 100% identical to the official versions?

Quotespikenyc Sorry your not an Elvis fan. He is a successful and well respected artist here in the USA. There is a reason so many fans and artists like him. His unique voice and song writing is what makes him standout from the rest. This track is more about Susanna then Elvis anyway. I will try to dig deeper. No doubt, he is very active and songs seem to flow out of him.
