The greatest week in rock history

"Thirty-four years ago this week, the Beatles, Stones, Zeppelin, Temptations, Santana, Crosby Stills and Nash, and Creedence Clearwater all shared top billing on the Billboard album chart. There's never been another lineup quite like it -- and there will never be again."

or will there? actually, probably not...

is it that funny, coz the year they had Slade topping the chart I'm sure was a doppelganger of Forrest Gump. why is easy rider so funny? it's the story of this country.

Hahaha, no, the thing is, there's a condom here in Chile called Easy Rider...
And I'm a very immature old man, so if you say... Butt, I'll probably laugh.

Hmmm. I think there is one here called the Rough Rider. I'll have to check on my next midnight mission to counters.

LONG LIVE THE REVOLUTION

Too bad 34 years later the "Music" - if you call it Music - Is all No-Talent Trash compared to 1969

Fuck yeah Sam!!! Totally agree!!

Wow Sam, you've had your blinders on since a decade before you were born. That's quite remarkable.

// "There's never been another lineup quite like it -- and there will never be again."

And that is a good thing. I'd hate to see the charts filled with the same kind of music year after year after year. Variety and innovation is what keeps things fresh and interesting.

//Variety and innovation is what keeps things fresh and interesting
I think the reason that there will never be a chart like it (meaning such totally awesome music not necessarily those artists, styles etc) is because variety and innovation have completely gone out the window as far as popular music goes.

I am HIGHLY OFFENDED by how the author of that piece later goes onto dis the top 10 albums for 2 September, 1989 because of the inclusion of such significant pop albums as New Kids on the Block's "Hangin' Tough", Richard Marx's "Repeat Offender", Prince's kick-arse soundtrack to "Batman", Paula Abdul's sweet, delightful "Forever Your Girl" and Milli Vanilli's Grammy award winning "Girl You Know It's True".

Robyn I never know when or if you are taking the piss

milli vanilli - hahahaha, biggest frauds in history.

DON'T FUCKEN KNOCK MILLI VANILLI!

Lip Syncing is standard on pretty much all awards shows, totp and most live pop performances. Why is it acceptable now?

How do we know that Atomic Kitten are actually 3 hot chicks and not 8 old black men singing behind a curtain?

No. 3, "Tom Jones Live in Las Vegas," Tom Jones
No. 6, "Santana," Santana
No. 8, "Blood Sweat & Tears," Blood Sweat & Tears
No. 9, "Crosby, Stills & Nash," Crosby, Stills & Nash

these are all crap- ¿the rest?- overrated- same old same old

those groups youve mentioned are fucken awesome - far better than all that stupid cRap music you listen to (after all Rap gives our kids Brain Damage) and if you look at it today when the term "Music" is all but obsolete (id call it no-talent noise) THE BANDS OF 1969 ROCKED THE FUCKEN WORLD and if our Parents Generation never changed, then what a happier world wed still be in today.

¿should you abstain from commenting til your mind reaches partial maturity?- probably- good rap is better than 50% of that chart listing- ¿when you gonna pull away from your parents crystal clutching musical taste?- see- i did it again

there aint nothing wrong with Acid Rock Mrs Lena, try listening to it for once and im sur eyou will be surprised of its Meaning.

not saying theres anything wrong with acid-rock- but i am saying that its still 10% good & 90% cat vomit- you dont seem to be able to distinguish- + it aint THE shit musically- no genre is... ¿see?- i bit

//and if our Parents Generation never changed, then what a happier world wed still be in today.

could be true...
but lena has pointed out the fillers
light up a doobie man, lie back and really listen to that Tom Jones Live at Vegas....
it ain't acid rock man

If I can get a ticket I'm so going to go see Tom Jones, he's here in March. If you ask me seeing that guy live has got to be a fairly surreal experience.
