The La's

Early beegees

In the early days, The Dave Clark Five had that vibe, for sure

to a lesser extent, Tommy James and The Shondells, who writing his own stuff, for the most part

Take that song and put it into a playlist with other similar music. The other songs will keep you in the same mood and it will be a nice treat when your new favorite comes on

There are the artists that influenced the Beatles like Chuck Berry, Buddy Holly, Little Richard and Elvis.

The Creation is a game changer.

About 5 years ago I was watching House MD and in the episode I was watching they played this absolute awesome guitar solo song that was just dripping with emotion. I looked it up and found out it was Maggotbrain.

It is one of the songs that inspired me to learn guitar.

I love it, right now as I type the backing track played by me is saved on my loop pedal for me to solo over or just practice playing the maggotbrain solo. But I am still a beginner at guitar but I am getting better everyday.

Oasis

ELO is good, if fairly obvious.

DDDBMT's also good, but a bit closer to the Moody Blues than the Beatles at times. Seconding the Byrds. The Monkees and early Jefferson Airplane are good, too.

All of them are good in their own way, but from The Family Sign (2011) onwards they sort of enter the "dad-rap" subgenre. You Can't Imagine... or God Loves Ugly are probably the best places to start.

The best guitar solo you will ever hear is the one whenever you hear it and no matter how many times you hear it...will always give you shivers.

For earlier stuff: the Kinks first few albums, ? and the Mysterians, the Hollies, Paul Revere and the Raiders, the Tremeloes, the Creation, the Lovin Spoonful.

For later stuff: the Zombies, the Kinks later stuff, the Byrds, Love, the Beach Boys post-1966, Donvan's albums from Sunshine Superman onwards.

Missing loads but that's a good place to start.

Dude its so fun to jam around on the backing track too

The Byrds, Badfinger.

I'm not sure what the instruments it has by me saying instrumental i was on about classical as some pieces have lyrics in foreign like opera and others don't so i couldn't just say classical like ava maria is classical but has lyrics in foreign language but i've heard it before but not sure of name or anything part from how i've heard it sound in the past i was thinking it could be french, italian, spanish or another language entirely all i remember is there was a scene from a crime gangster film where someone walks around in a strip club and some woman is pole dancing and this music is playing whilst shes pole dancing and men are throwing dollars at her.

Get the men in black to erase your memory

"...or drown in my oooooown shit-t-t-t-t-t-t"

maggot brain is special, do doubt about that. <3

I do the same, the only solution is to be stricter with yourself! Be aware of what you are doing, and try to almost treat yourself with those tracks from time to time. Otherwise all is lost, and you need to wait months and months before listen to it again and getting the same fix

Can’t argue with that. I prefer the intensity of the early albums and compositions, but I think he’s continued to make good music his whole life. I’ve only come to fully appreciate a lot of it recently to be honest, including Caravanserai and some of his other more mellow stuff

Easybeats used distorted guitars before The Beatles. They were really at the forefront of that style of music, but never had the worldwide fame.

Greatest Australian song.

Here’s a link to Evie for anyone who hasn’t heard it. If you haven’t, take 11 minutes out of your day and prepare to be blown away

Wolf by Highly Suspect. It's my favorite song of theirs. It steadily builds, culminating in a big mess of guitar solos and noise. Awesome song to crank up.

They have lots of good songs.
