the disdain that thebes feels about

the Beatles.....

 

Led zeppelin is far worse....

they just do it louder.....

This should be a start of new ongoing thread. Bands / music that seemingly everyone but you think are great. FWIW I agree with you on Zeppelin!

This place is falling to pieces. I could live without LZ I or II but I choose not to. If you can't at least like III, IV, Presence, HoH, PG you better have your head checked.

 

Dyer Maker and The Ocean should be mandatory listening for anyone with Klipsch speakers every 2-3 months at a minimum.

after listening to the so called mighty

zep....for years when I was younger..

I got into them...

 

But the past few years....trying to

enjoy my past listening experience..

 

they fell way short....even back then

35+ years ago.....I thought presence

was the hidden jem from their catalogue.....

 

I might have to revisit that one on vinyl....I did pick up zep 1....but I did not

spin it...I always thought it's a must have zep album...

 

the other day I picked up aerosmith.

draw the line...which I haven't heard

or listened too in 35+ years...

 

side 2 blew me away...!

I've always liked Zeppelin but as I've grown older I actually appreciate them more. They are a lot like The Clash in my book. Always changing and trying different things. You can hear them grow as a band from one album to the next. I and II for all the hype are not my personal favorites. You are right that Presence is a hidden gem. I get a kick every time a see a kid under 25 with a Swan Song T-shirt on. I seriously doubt you will see a 20-something 40 years from now with an Arcade Fire, Maroon 5, <insert band here> shirt on. Maybe Foo Fighters, but I doubt that. Different time I know as rock was pretty young. Still I feel that Zeppelin has aged better than even the Beatles or the Stones. They sound dated to me. Zeppelin sounds timeless....and I was a die-hard stones fan from 12 to 40. I think history will be better to Led Zeppelin than Rolling Stone was in the day. Bowie has a timeless catalog as well....but save that for a different discussion.

 

As for Aerosmith. Always loved them. The old drugged up days more so then once they got clean and discovered making videos. Saw a recent concert on TV. They still sound decent but looking like they have exceeded their Best Before Date.

Things do change about ourselves that we can recognize sometimes.

Playing at the creeks around here when little I never got poison ivy, I know I had touched it.  Barely handled some to pull it up when I was in my early 30s and man that rash on my hands, arms and neck lasted for a week.

I know I've never really grown up, that's probably part of it, but the tunes that did not get overplayed on FM from Zeppelin, ZZ, Rush, Skynyrd, Aerosmith, AC/DC and others I like even more. 

That's just me, you might catch me movin' to some P-Funk occasionally. 

Sad when folks you saw pics of long ago look like old raisins, "exceeding their Best By Date" is a nicer way of putting it!

 

Reverting to an innocent way from decades ago:

"It's a Free Country, and I'll ____ ____ __ if I want to!"

Peace

 

 

& Good Morning Mike, I was just messin' with ya!Untitled.jpg

I forgot to post ....I did spin zep 1...

 

it is way better than 1v ...

 

it has more excitement and honest

power and interplay...and more conviction...

 

the first few. were kinda weak ....

but built momentum to the end

of side 2...
