Tell me what to download.

[cell]

on two seperate occasions, one of them being today...my music folders disappeared from my computer. one of them was my u2 folder, had all my mp3's, boots, 2 vcd's...then the other one, was my misc. folder filled with other great songs by other bands.

i have no problem redoing my u2 folder, as i have burned most of them to cd, and i have some that were mailed to me awhile ago this year, and last year by none other than sicy, u2lynne, and jesseu2. they rock. sorry if i forgot anybody else.

my big problem is, i need my other music back. my classic rock collection that i had just started to download 2 days ago. i need to know what you guys listen to. im clueless on what to download. male and female artists, bands...i want them all. ive started with led zeppelin, some t rex, and others i cant remember.


tell me what you like...what i should download?

[KhanadaRhodes]

okay...*thinks*

- fleetwood mac stuff like rhiannon, dreams, just look on their greatest hits for inspiration.
- maybe some queen?

damnit, i listen to a classic rock station all the damn time and now that you're asking me what kind of stuff is the best i'm drawing a blank. but seriously, download itunes. even if you don't want to pay for your music, they have free radio stations, several of which deal with classic rock and stuff. you could at least listen to those and get an idea of what kinda things you like and would want.

 

[AcrobatMan]

Jam - Town called Malice

Thats good

Thin Lizzy - Boys are back in town, Whiskey in the Jar

*wandering into the thread*

yeah, recommending clash songs was exactly what i was going to do, since they're the closest thing to classical rock that i've got any knowledge on.

'safe european home' fucking great song, of course.

i can't really narrow down a list. one, cos it's the clash. two, because i don't want to sound like i'm talking down to you. icelle, i dn't know what clash songs you know/like/don't like.

safe european home (like yertle said, it really is a fucking great song)
white man in hammersmith palais
death or glory
rudie can't fail
straight to hell
guns of brixton
complete control
capital radio two
bankrobber
garageland
pressure drop
london calling
brand new cadillac
spanish bombs
lost in the supermarket
clampdown
the card cheat
tommy gun
english civil war
all the young punks
train in vain
i'm not down
revolution rock
washington bullets
police on my back
magnificent seven
the call up
somebody got murdered
broadway
this is radio clash
know your rights

and i guess i can't leave off these two...but i'm assuming you know them:
rock the casbah
should i stay or should i go

 

[sharky]

yertle -- you forgot the Jam's Town Called Malice.

nice clash list. if you want to screw downloading all that, I would suggest the Essential Clash 2 disc set. it was recommending here and rules.

 

[IWasBored]

crap there are plenty others i'd like to add to that list...i'll restrain myself


i know it's not classic rock, but i can't get out of here without telling you to check out joe strummer & the mescaleros. anything off streetcore, and anything except 'the gamma ray' (although you might like it) off 'global a go-go'. yalla yalla, tony adams and x-ray style rock off of 'rock art and the x-ray style', but i've never been able to track down a copy of that album...so that's all iknow.


and you can't go wrong with the pogues

actually, here's some reccomended pogues songs for you:
fiesta (i'm throwing that in in case lara mullen left it off her list, cos i know she likes that one, i think salome does too)
the body of an american
thousands are sailing
the broad majestic shannon
sally maclennane
dark streets of london
transmetropolitan
boys from the county hell
streams of whiskey
if i should fall from grace with god
turkish song of the damned
the battle of brisbane (instrumental)
sunny side of the street
rain street
hell's ditch
young ned of the hill
streets of sorrow/ the birmingham six
bottle of smoke
fairytale of ny
south australia

it's got a great tracklisting and all, but honestly, i'd have to say just pick up the u.s. version of the self-titled album and london calling instead. cos you're going to want to eventually buy the albums, right?

yertle -- you forgot the Jam's Town Called Malice.
