Won't Get Fooled Again - The WhoNo Led Zep "All of My Love". I'm heavy on ELP. If you don't like it EMFA.
-
Never Been Any Reason - Head EastGot really fucked up in CDA and may have done coke with the bassist for Head East in the 80's
At least he said he was the bassist for Head East.
-
From The Beginning - Emerson, Lake & PalmerLife During Wartime was a good sleeper pick.
I just went with my favorite song of the bunch. -
Won't Get Fooled Again - The Who
I always though Pete Townshend invent synths on rock records in 1971 with Who's Next. But Emmerson appears to have beat him to the punch on Lucky Man in 1970.chuck said:Life During Wartime was a good sleeper pick.

The last 2 mins of Won't Get Fooled Again is the greatest 2 mins in the history of rock. -
Baba O' Reilly - The WhoThe ultimate stoner song making out in the van smoking weed and talking shit
Would have gone Close to the Edge had it been an option. A few acid trips
It's a good list considering the guitar hero mania of the era
It is the power chord on top of the synth that makes Baba
Early air guitar favorite -
Won't Get Fooled Again - The WhoFrankenstein…

I know ELP a lot better than Yes, so I played it safe with the obvious early synth hit.RaceBannon said:The ultimate stoner song making out in the van smoking weed and talking shit

Baba O' Reilly - The WhoSmokin by Boston

Won't Get Fooled Again - The Who
There's no synth on Smokin' @coronabruin . Just clavinet and organ.coronabruin said:Smokin by Boston

Won't Get Fooled Again - The Who
No so fast my fren. Where are the synths on Boston's debut @JoeEDangerously ? There's some freaky guitar affects and some organ/clavinets, but no synths that I'm aware of.JoeEDangerously said:Anything from Boston’s debut album

F.O. Row Peter Puffer, you left off
All the same to me. I thought you meant any electric piano shit.YellowSnow said:

I know in the world of technically proficient shredding it all seems the same, but there is a difference.JoeEDangerously said:

Karn Evil 9 1st Impression, Part 2 - Emerson, Lake & Palmerwent with ELP - love Karn Evil along with most of the others, almost picked Roundabout - assume you meant Yes with Wakeman whom is phenomenal on keyboards.
Edit: made me watch a lot of good music -
F.O. Row Peter Puffer, you left offShould organ be allowed in the pole…judges?

Or you could just wait for the best rock organ of 1972 pole. I mean there’s zero use of synths on Highway star.Bad_MotherDucker said:Should organ be allowed in the pole…judges?

Fooling Yourself - Styx
They had hits in the 70's, but I'm not going to act like I know if they had synth or not because that would require me to listen to the songs and I really can't stand them.YellowSnow said:

Rush could have been a truly great band with a different front man. Incredibly talented musicians with annoying as fuck Ontario singing.RaceBannon said:Working Man 1974 - the first "hit" I recall. All guitars
