john hall rules......
stills can call it anything but its still stephen
D & the D's wasnt a band. just somethin to fill the void. miss carl R.
hows about the sandford and townsend band? |
|
|
Blind Faith, or how about The Traveling Wilburys? |
|
Could short be defined as a couple years? If so how about Cream of the sixties. |
|
Northern Pikes (Canada) alot of fun live back in the mid-80's. Great bar band (did a very few CDs) and new how to keep a crowd dancing for hours. |
The Jimi Hendrix Experience.... |
The Rolling Stones
(just kidding)
Never mind the bollocks, how about the Sex Pistols? Or the Gram Parsons-era Flying Burrito Brothers?
|
Hard to argue with Blind Faith.
The Beatles were surprisingly short lived for all the great music they produced.
I'll add The Knack. |
Happy the Man
I see someone remembers Steve Still's Manassas... The 1st double album is a great album I still have and love... Kind of odd sound what with the 'cuban bluegrass' arrangements. |
Xiekitchen, you are so right! Stephen certainly assembled an all-star band to play virtually any kind of music. That album featured standard rock, country, cuban bluegrass (Stephen grew up in central america) and great blues. The musicians: Stephen Stills - vocals, guitar, keyboards Chris Hillman - vocals, guitar, mandolin Dallas Taylor - drums Paul Harris - keyboards Fuzzy Samuels - bass Al Perkins - vocals, best peddle steel I ever heard Joe Lala - vocals, percussion
I don't think any band played so many different kinds of music so perfectly and not lose a double album flow!
A truly amazing album that for me stands alongside "Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs" and the "Are You Experienced" as my favorites. |

Here are three that were around long enough to get into our heads, but went away before we could really glom on to them: 1) Creedence Cleawater Revival. You can throw out a lot of dates, but lets go with 1967 - 1971 2) The Doors. Interestingly enough, also 1967 - 1971 3) The Smiths. 1982 - 1987
I'll also agree with The Beatles nomination. |
What about The Band breaking up in 1976. Way too early for us die hard fans. Hell, Levon Helm is still performing in his 60's with his Midnight Ramblers !! |
Ramatam.... If you must ask, then google. |
Blind Faith Crabby Appleton Fever Tree Amboy Dukes (w/ John Drake) Byrds (original members) David and David Bob Seger System Robin Trower (w/ James Dewar) Mountain King Crimson (w/ Greg Lake) Faces (w/ Rod Stewart) |
|
Buffalo Springfield Seatrain Joy of Cooking |
little village and blind faith get my vote |
Joy Division - two lps 5 ep singles then Ian took his life
a sound and vision from the glaring stark reality of manchester england |
The Hendrix Experience and Band Of Gypsy's! We were so lucky to get so much great music in such a short time |
|
|
Blind Melon and Sublime. I beleive both these bands were in their artistic infancy when we lost them. RIP Bradley and Shannon. |
Yow, Aiudiofeil! - Thought I was the only one that remembered Crabby Appleton ! I've searched but haven't found them on-line...is it still possible?
How about "Good Rats"?
You have a great list of bands here. I really like David and David - esp. "Welcome to the Boomtown". Was living in Houston mid-80s after the oil industry crashed when that came out. Must have missed this when you first posted. 05-29-07: Audiofeil Blind Faith Crabby Appleton Fever Tree Amboy Dukes (w/ John Drake) Byrds (original members) David and David Bob Seger System Robin Trower (w/ James Dewar) Mountain King Crimson (w/ Greg Lake) Faces (w/ Rod Stewart)
Thanks, GH |

Lots of good choices already, but I'd add a few more:
801 The Reivers Uncle Tupelo The Delevantes The New Radicals Veg James Gang Rockpile The dBs Hindu Love Gods
This thread is a good opportunity to remember those who left us (one way or another) too soon. Marty |
Ghosthouse
There is a new release from Mountain - haven't heard it so I can't speak to the quality (or lineup, for that matter) - but thought you might like to know.
Marty |
Rain Tree Crow Acetone Medicine |
Marty - Thanks. I'll look for that. Felix will be missed in any lineup...but if Leslie is there...might be good. |
Hard to believe no one has mentioned the group SPIRIT. IMHO, one of the all time great bands. |
Spirit were hardly shortlived |
|
Detroit......Mitch Ryder doing the vocals....one great album |
|
The Rock and Roll hall of fame has a section dedicated to "one-hit wonders." My peronal favorite is the We Five. |
Jake and the Family Jewels |
|
|
taste, the sex pistols, the lovin spoonful, brownsville station, the jeff beck group(yea that one), the yardbirds, fanny, earthquake, the original mothers of invention |
|
one hit wonders Green Eyed Lady - Sugarloaf |
Good God Darryl Way's Wolf Bella Band Dun Hosemobile Tipographica Gentle Giant did some great stuff but they lasted for 10 years and put out 12 albums. |
Ginger Baker Trio: Ginger Baker, Bill Frissel, Charlie Haden. Check 'em out, GREAT power trio jazz/rock. |
How about "Toby Beau" The band broke up before the first album was released |
David and David, one absolutely amazing record.
Fortunately reissued, remastered, restamped on Classic Records. |
Stevecham, David Baerwald has several equally excellent solo albums. |
