I don't have any Led Zeppelin
 

But somebody says I should get IV.

I'm not so sure. Whaddya think?

no no no, its all shit.

Really?

I prefer Physical Graffiti, I, III & Houses Of the Holy to IV, but it is still one that everyone should have.

The ones you can do without are II (although it ends with Bring It On Home which is a great one), In Through the Out Door, Presence & Coda.

Don't listen to Atari.

In throught the out door is their greatest album.

fuck it if you dont have any.. so what? if you were going to get into them then get some, because your a music fan doesnt mean you have to have Led Zeppelin CD's in your collection... i dont have any Grateful Dead.. have loads of Carpenters though.

In the Evening & Fool in the Rain are great songs. In Through the Out Door is still not their best by any means.

Congratulations on being completely wrong. You're good at it.

Led Zeppelin I and Houses of the Holy are my favorites.

no. get this:




it will rock your fucking bones. i swear, on my left nut.

---

get it on vinyl actually. it sounds fucking amazing.

One of my most hated songs of all time ("You Shook Me") is on this album.
I do like some Led Zeppelin tunes, but Robert Plant is a total chooch, and pretty much ruins the whole band for me most of the time.

I'd get Led Zeppelin III.

your time is gonna come segueing into that sytar piece (sytar? is that the spelling?) is specfuckingtacular. about plant i do like him, chooch or no chooch. a lot of these are classic blues tunes rocked out but in the best possible way. choochs aside, jimmy page was a fucking god. yes this is such a 70's cliche perhaps days but im not saying it in a redneck way. ha ha.

I recommend I-III, Zoso is not really my cup of tea.

Well, I'll just go ahead & offer it.. I have an LP upped on YSI right now that is strictly BBC recordings from 1969-1971. If you would like I could give the link.

!@#$%!:
You can even forgive the vocal "do what page does on guitar noodling by making screechy bird noises in the post-noodle pauses?"

Can you actually forgive that?

I mean, Jimmy Page's Davey Graham- influenced open tuning solo pieces in the early concerts cannot be denied, but Plant?
Fuck a Robert Plant, seriously.

(I also do not much like when electricity is added to blues, for what it's worth)


I will say that the early concert footage on the recent double DVD set is pretty fucking amazing though.

i dont know so much about music man, i swear. im a book geek but with music i only trust my ears/feelings. which are quite sophisticated in my own self-important opinion (ha ha) but they are still ignorant. i dont know shit about anything else. i love that fucking record. maybe i should be shot on the side of the head for it but i love it, ha ha.

agh i gotta go to a meeting. just when i was beginning to enjoy the slack.

Do you know much about homos and butt rules then?

it's spelt sitar. close, but no cigar, my man.

i also have no zeppelin. i don't care to really.. i like 'em and all...just nothing i feel i want/need to get.

everyone here is crazy and ignorant. if you really want to check out led zeppelin get II, II!!!

i mean come on!!! heartbreaker? moby dick? the lemon song? thank you? bring it on home? fuck, the whole album is awesome!!!!

i have friends who swear by IV, personally, i'm burned out on it, i don't need to hear rock n' roll or black dog for a long time (and don't get me started on stairway to heaven!). the battle of evermore, however, is one of the best songs ever written and performed, not only sandy denny sings on that song, but it spawned black metal and it's a fucking acoustic guitar song.

i get a little sick of zeppelin every once in a while, but my favorite is II.

I decided I don't want to check em out anymore, but thanks for the advice.

There's so much other stuff to check out, why would I consider these hippy wankers?

Because they are good hippy wankers.

Maybe. Plant's voice drives me a little batty. & classic rock radio has probably ruined half the songs on the album for me. Maybe if I see it for like a buck in the used LP section.

I'd Say go with III, houses of the holy & Physical Graffiti.

yep.

Zeppelin is a fucking bore.

It is spelt sitar but the song isn't played on one as far as I know, sounds like an open tuned acoustic.

Anyhow, Zepelin are unfortunate in the sense that they invariably get lumped in with Sabeth, Iron Maiden and all of those other (an odd good tune not withstanding) shitty, Spinal Tap type bands. In reality they wern't even in the same league, or even playing the same game.

If you feel you can tolerate a little bit of musical obesity then go all out and gorge on Pysical Graffiti, if not get something earlier and fresher like III, though IV is a good start too.

It is not something you can do without.

I wouldn't bother. There's too much really good music to spend your $'s on, rather than this overblown, overrated, out-of-date dad rock.

SABBATH. Spell it fucking right. They are far better than ZEPPELIN and I don't even like Sabbath.

Sometimes it's good to skip a potentially good band for monetary reasons. I won't listen to the Greatful Dead because of how much shit they have. I like hippies, but hell no. That would inevitably end in $500+ out the window.

great idea

I have a copy of American Beauty in my collection. I often look at it and wonder why I do.

Agreed.

That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard. I totally hate the Sonic board sometimes, and it's because of stuff like this. Too good for Led Zeppelin? I seriously doubt it, especially in your case.

that's like saying you don't want to listen to sonic youth. having so much other stuff to check out, why consider listening to a bunch pseudo-intellectual ironic hipster crap bandwagon-jumping noise band.

(meaning stereotypes, generalizations and closed mindness suck)

and to the guy who thinks black S-A-B-B-A-T-H suck and are worse than zeppelin, you are fucking deaf ignorant. period.

fyi: just because bands don't have long hair or wear spandex doesn't mean they are not "spinal tap-ish". most rock bands (any genre and subgenre you can think of) are a giant stupid humorless stereotype.

I'm too good for overrated shit. You aren't?

Oh pffftttt...

Yeah, whatever, mom....

I know I am. I've now decided Led Zep can kiss my ass!

I wouldn't even let those fucks get close to my ass.

Yet you've never even heard one of their albums. Good going, idiot.

This coming from someone who listens to Sufjan Stevens.
