The Band

because Sup Forums is still on a stage of hating their dad

actually i wanted to post em
their cover of Baby Don't You Do It by Marvin Gaye performed live on Rock of Ages is amazing, even better than the short version on The Last Waltz which is just a sad farewell of a generation

I don't know why this song hits me as hard as it does.

One of the greatest to have ever done it.

redpill me on The Band

what albums are the good ones actually?

I don't get this band. They echoed Dylan a bit much for me. Like they couldn't shake his presence after they played together. I like it well enough but they just don't seem as strong or impactful as people let on to me. The whole "roots" movement was sort of driven home by them I guess but it's not like they spearheaded it, and if we wanna talk about good clean rough and tumble roots rock, Creedence is obviously far superior but none of the big rock critics ride their collective cock as hard as they ride the Band's.

Help me out y'all.

Their first two studio albums and some tight live ones, as well as their stuff with Bob Dylan (Bob Dylan and the Band - Basement Tapes, '75).

Their two most famous albums, Music From Big Pink and The Band don't really sound like any of Dylan's albums save John Wesley Harding and, well, The Basement Tapes, but there's kind of a reason for that one. Their sound on their first two albums isn't even that similar to their sound on Dylan's 66 tour.
