Then I guess the better term is "stamped." You "burn" a CD-R at home or office but for mass produced audio discs, it's a different process.

Quoted from a Wikipedia entry found at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compact_disc

"Replicated CDs are mass-produced initially using a hydraulic press. Small granules of heated raw polycarbonate plastic are fed into the press. A screw forces the liquefied plastic into the mold cavity. The mold closes with a metal stamper in contact with the disc surface. The plastic is allowed to cool and harden. Once opened, the disc substrate is removed from the mold by a robotic arm, and a 15 mm diameter center hole (called a stacking ring) is created. The time it takes to "stamp" one CD, is usually 2 to 3 seconds.

This method produces the clear plastic blank part of the disc. After a metallic reflecting layer (usually aluminum, but sometimes gold or other metal) is applied to the clear blank substrate, the disc goes under a UV light for curing and it is ready to go to press. To prepare to press a CD, a glass master is made, using a high-powered laser on a device similar to a CD writer. The glass master is a positive image of the desired CD surface (with the desired microscopic pits and lands). After testing, it is used to make a die by pressing it against a metal disc.

The die is a negative image of the glass master: typically, several are made, depending on the number of pressing mills that are to make the CD. The die then goes into a press and the physical image is transferred to the blank CD, leaving a final positive image on the disc. A small amount of lacquer is applied as a ring around the center of the disc, and rapid spinning spreads it evenly over the surface. Edge protection lacquer is applied before the disc is finished. The disc can then be printed and packed."

But regardless, it's just words...I'm more interested in pulling out my MTB, Outlaws, ABB, Grinderswitch, .38 Special, Elvin Bishop, Skynyrd, ARS, etc. CDs and playing them.

Pulled out all my MTB CDs, the first 3, and played them back-to-back-to-back. One thing I think we all can agree on, Toy Caldwell was a fine guitar player that never really got his due. For me, a notch below Duane but right up there with the best of them.

Southern rock is suicide music, up there with country.

Strange however, that today's top southern rocker lives in clarkston mi.

So what?

They INVENTED the sound.

As for "Freebird"? **** NO! NOBODY needs to ever hear that song again! Out of all the songs that band did it's just a travesty that most of the mindless drones only know 5 songs by them.

But my personal favorite is Jackyl, 'The Lumberjack' ThumpUp

however.

Yeah, my bad. For some odd reason when I played "Travelin' Shoes" I thought of it as Southern Rock. Maybe the album cover for "Let it Rock" with him fishing on the dock and all threw me off. And it was on Capricorn Records so that added to my confusion / mis-remembrance. d'oh!

I live in the south - I don't particularly like southern rock any more than any other rock. I'd rather listen to Rush than southern rock.

But Freebird is still the #1 southern rock anthem, like or don't. Is what it is, mane.


REM is from Georgia, but that doesn't make them southern rock. They're alternative, just like most of their fans...and the B52's are, well, ya know. ~Rock Lobster~ YaY!!! jester

Come on guys....the original Southern rock band....The Allman Brothers....Whipping Post
From: 'The Allman Brothers Band' (1969)
 
 
The highlight of the band's debut album (which it closes), 'Whipping Post' sounds like an old blues number. But Gregg was barely in his twenties when he wrote it. It's one of the band's most beloved and legendary songs. You can go with the lean five-minute studio version on thier debut album (1969),but you can substitute it for the 23-minute live centerpiece from 'At Fillmore East.' Either way, it's the definitive Allman Brothers Band song: a muscular slab of southern rock wrapped in myth, sweat and solos.

Uuhhm.....yeah...I know. It's called sarcasm. I'd rather listen to cats f*cking than listen to "Freebird" or just about anything from Skynyrd. Not a bad band...just sick to death of everything that gets played on the radio...which I also don't listen to anymore.



I WAS serious about the Radiators. Great live band from New Orleans. Look em up.

Total agreement!

Another Capricorn Records band of the time Eric Quincy Tate were, I believe, Texas origin and my candidate for best southern rock song you never heard "Suzie B. Dunn", a name pulled from a tombstone in Rosehill Cemetery in Macon.

They were from Southern England (i.e. Greater London area) and toured with Lynyrd Skynyrd. I would also like to add "That'll Be the Day" by Buddy Holly

They are definitely a GREAT band. I love their live stuff much better than the studio recordings though...but maybe that's just me.

yes, truly great song. and this will be hard to believe but Rod Stewart did a great version (1969/70?) on his debut solo album after a couple of blow away albums with Jeff Beck. Long before Stewart became repulsive, still young, hungry, no disco and jet set garbage.

But not a southern rock song.
