The only member of the Who that they could have done without was Rog.

To this day I have still not been impresses with the guitar work of Jimmy Page. I was about 11 and I could play everything on any LZ album. Pete Townsend was and is not guitarist extravaganze. But he never claimed to be. He is, in my not so humble opinion, the greatest musician of the past 30 or 40 years. He are a few of my favorite lines from "Quadrophenia" "They finally threw me out My mom got drunk on stout, My dad couldn't stand on two feet, As he lectured about morality. Why do I have to be different to them? Just to earn the respect of a dance hall friend, We have the same old row, again and again. Why do I have to move with a crowd Of kids that hardly notice I'm around, I have to work myself to death just to fit in. I have to be careful not to preach I can't pretend that I can teach, And yet I've lived your future out By pounding stages like a clown. And on the dance floor broken glass, The bloody faces slowly pass, The broken seats in empty rows, It all belongs to me you know.

Mostly becasue LZ sucks and The Who is kick ass. This is really about the best summation. I don't know of any better way to say it. I mean, I could say that Keith Moon's drumming was from God, that Entwhistle kicked ass, that Pete Townshend's writing was head and shoulders over anything Zeppish in its wit and human insight......but ultimately it just boils down to "what he said".

I have been in bands that have done Zep covers ("Battle Of Evermore" and "Heartbreaker," most notably. Also, if you're interested, ask me about my beat-poetry arrangement of "Black Dog" and my Dylan- does-Zep version of "Rock And Roll".). I think "Kashmir", "The Rain Song" and "Dazed And Confused" are stunning. Other songs, such as "Fool In The Rain", "The Immigrant Song", "The Lemon Song", "All Of My Love" and "Whole Lotta Love" seem banal, pointless and redundant to me. My fave Zep album is III (side two, really); my fave Zep members are Bonzo and J.P. Jones. As a matter of fact, Plant's voice is really annoying and I can only take it in small doses; Page is a musical visionary insofar as he was able to take bloozes-based music, expand the genre and make it commercially viable and embrace other musical forms within the blooze context. His world music influences helped a lot and I really think he was at his best on acoustic guitar in his weird alt.tunings. Not much of his electric stuff really makes me stand up and take note (pun intended). In fact, Page would not even be in my list of top 50 guitar players (if such a list even existed). He has left more of an impression on me as a writer/producer/studio wizard than he has as a guitarist. That being said: On 1 Sep 98, at 15:16, amadain wrote: > Oh and about "The Song Remains The Same"- yeah, quite the giggle. > Basically it should be retitled "Why 70s cockrock had to die".

Don't tell her she looks like Mark Gloster. 'kay? I started this memo this morning. It seems that y'all have progressed beyond me by now, geez, I was probably behind you in the first place, but here it is anyway... Led Zeppelin: studio albums were important. Live, they were a complete fuckin' train wreck. Nobody had any interest in playing/singing in tune. Bonham couldn't tune a drum if his life depended on it. I don't think Jimmy Page has ever played a solo anywhere near as levelling as any of Pete Townshend's rhythm playing, and Page as a rhythm player? he's kind of a yawn. Try listening to _Song Remains the Same_ after _Live at Leeds_- it can't be done. That said, I kind of like their various studio work- especially the first album (recorded in just hours) and _In Through the Out Door_- two of their works that get the least amount of attention. Fun Facts department: Kieth Moon coined the name, "Led Zeppelin." Bowie: I really liked _Let's Dance_ when it came out, but it certainly hasn't aged as well, for me, as _Ziggy Sharkdust_. Dan Bern is the single act I've seen in the nineties that I rate (irate?) wheeee or woooeeee. I thought School of Fish was great for one album, Nirvana for a couple. I kinda like some 90's acts, but the eighties for me had Wall of Voodoo/Stan Ridgway, Robyn Hitchcock, Negativland, Thomas Dolby, B-52's, Primus.... Seventies brought most of my chord-counting progroxters and chord-counter wannabe progster bands that I really liked, but have largely tired of since. Steely Dan still floors me. I haved been taken out into the alley and pummelled here before for liking Toto, so I won't mention them here. Oops. The sixties gave me the Banana Splits, the Kinks, the Who, King Crimson, the Turtles, and Frank Zappa. I am hoping that I will be able to pull something lasting from the nineties. Mark Gloster and Big Rubber Shark, perhaps? (Thanks for the mentions, even before I could get to it.) From the hate music list I own: Rumors Graceland Legend I make no apologies about any of them. Almost every album that each incarnation of Fleetwood Mac has done has been amazing. I hold a considerable amount of contempt for the froggy witch, but that is more than counterbalanced by my worship of Mick Fleetwood, who is one of the greatest drummers of all time- incredibly musical, making room for the other musicians, and playing exactly what was right. Graceland has not aged as well as I wanted it to. I can't hear it twice in a row. I have to wait months between listening to it. Maybe I would have liked it better if someone a bit more interesting to me than Paul Simon had fronted the project. Legend is great. Tell them to shut up. There are other CD's that were on the list that I would admit, unabashedly, owning- if I had them. I have always thought that "best of albums" were made for music haters who couldn't be bothered to get to know the works of the artists. I've softened on that a bit. If someone's entire music collection consisted of those twenty CD's, I'd be very worried about them. Otherwise, I suppose I'd cut some slack, especially if they had James Dignan's cassette or had reserved a copy of Dolph's. Unless maybe they were Eb, and he was soiling himself to tell us of the joys of Gloria Gaynor, Grease, and Abba. Sadly, this was not the case. In summary: (to this evangelical agnostic) King Crimson is still God. Robyn Hitchcock is still God. Stan Ridgway is still God, but I want another great record out of him soon, Danny Elfman (Boingo) is still God, and I think Dan Bern belongs in the Godhead. Don't forget Frank Zappa, who was also God. The Who is at least a Demigod, as are the Kinks, and Genesis (esp. before Abacab). I wished the Titanic hadn't stayed on course, - -Mark Gloster, who, due to the ravages of the alphabet, is wedged uncomfortably between the Gits and Golden Earring in Eddie's mythology, but is overjoyed to be there. ;-) I am also glad I'm not stuck next to the Hooters, that is to say the BAND, the Hooters. np. whitechocolatespaceegg, by Karen Reichsten?

I'm not sure why this upsets people so, nor why it's so damn surprising- anyone familiar with previous work would know that "Different Class" is much more anomalous vis a vis the rest of their music than "TIH" is. You know, it is also an album where the songs work together and play off each other, not particularly singles-oriented, and granted they do suffer out of context, rather as if I plucked out my eye and handed it to you (apologies to Coleridge :)). Um, incidentally, any particular reason this came up now and addressed to me personally?
