That was very very very good.

****ing amazing! Rock on!

I have a few artists if you want them included.

Celtic Rock: The Offkilter
Rap Rock: Rage Against the Machine

That was very good, nice job merkaba.

Wow that was really well done, I really like the fact that although the Beatles were well talked about, The Rolling Stones were given basically equal credit for different reasons.

I think these threads were a very good idea.

very good job except.......where is the Prog rock

Who needs a passage on prog rock when you can have a whole thread.

I wouldn't steal boo boo's thunder.:)

I guess....Thanks for being considerate :)

Fantastic job.

I dont think i have ever heard of medieval rock though, unless bands like Blackmores Night qualify, because i think they are very "medieval", probably the most medieval sounding band i have ever heard (Yep, even more medieval than Jethro Tull)...But i will check out those bands you listed, havent heard any of them.

I need to write me one of these skicky threads I feel left out :(

Why label? It's all music, I don't care what genre it carries.

But interesting nevertheless.

Its interesting to travel the net and met new and diverse people. The one thing that I have noticed is the lack of Australian bands on the international boards.

with the exception of AC/DC there is little known of the Australian Hard Rock Bands of the 70's and early 80's

Bands like "the Angels" were an Australian revolution and even toured with a little known band called AC/DC in 1975, it was malcom and angus and bon scott who got the angels their first record deal with "Alberts" and produced by Vanda and Young.

first single was a classic called "am I ever gonna see your face again" which is now a classic pub rock anthem.

other bands include Cold Chisel with Jummy Barnes as lead singer though I think the world knows more about Jummy than Chisel. Yet a Chisel song "Khe Sahn" was voted australian song of the millenium.

that said its great to learn about the overseas bands that are not released in Australia as well.

great thread.
hope to learn more

Darkstar

Amen

Good history on the way rock music has started and entered our lives =-)

agreed, great job, must have taken some time to do that, thanks!!!!

Lol yah it must have

Yeah, I was born in Australia - but now living in NZ. I agree, Cold Chisel is never recognised - but on a side note, I think Forever Now is their best song. That is probably in my top 20 rock songs ever.

I guess INXS is Australian too.

I agree, Khe Sahn is a good song but I prefer "Flame trees" and Australia will claim any band as long as its a success. we claimed crowded house and Split Enz, even though they had a funny accent.

and dont forget AC/DC is an Australian Band

Wow...that was excelently written, yet mind numbingly long. I had to stop twice to smoke.

I swear I pissed about 4 times during the course of writing this, had 2 main meals and did an hour and a halfs exercise somewhere along the lines just to keep the commitment.

nice...
didn't include any death metal or anything that-ish, but VERY nicely done none the less

Well props on the effort.

good job, thats all i need to say.

Just to add some bands...
Gothic rock: Siouxsie and the Banshees, The Sisters of Mercy, (some) The Cure.

:)

A great review and well worded. One band I think deserves a mention though is Budgie. Not the most revered in terms of Zeppelin etc but up there musically IMO. Hard, fast chunky riffs and amazing tight musicianship. Their influence spread as far as Metallica etc...

gosh, some people can write

You not being one of them.

Wow, I've never actually read that before.
I was bored, and I now feel enlightened.

Well written, Rick. Props to ya for taking so much time. ;)

Do you write English papers, Also?

Haha shit no, I expend myself only once a year on such master pieces;)

Thanks! I'm that lil bit closer to understanding what the heck my band play now!!!

This is wonderful! I have a few suggestions for Psychadelic Rock...Janis Joplin & The Doors...Janis could also be classified as blues rock though, especially when she was with Big Brother and The Holding Company.
Really great non the less, Merk :D

nice job dude

Cool! thanks for all the info:)

Mega Metal from South Africa
 

To musicdaisy - You want to hear great South African Metal in your face?
You'll find the controversial single 'DOODSTRAF' by "kobus!" at
www rhythmrecords .co .za (Check on the Top10 list)
Its hard and its sweaty!!!

woah, so much to learn. way better than wikipedia lol :T

Trully much to learn, first thread reaten.

Im a fan of Metal apsecially Goth Metal, thanks to the threat I learnt about my favourite Gener. What I cud probably learn from reading the lyrics and the meaning behind the songs. But now I can see clearly I was right while guessing.

Nice job really.
