Song Suggestions

Anything by David Gray.... further off the main stream, anything by Jump, Little Children. They're a band out of Winston that's now living and working in Charleston. They;ve got 3 albums out, Magizine (the second), having had the most success.

 

I reccomend anything by the Drive-By Truckers. They are a whip ass southern rock band from Alabama. If ya'll liked Skynyrd, you'll love the Truckers, I've seen them probably 20 times and they never have sucked. Last time I was in New Jersey, me and a buddy of mine even drove down to see them in Baltimore. They didn't suck there either. You can find some of their stuff on MP3.com. You can check morpheus, but I haven't found much there.

Slobberbone is another favorite band of mine. There more of a cross between rock and country, but they also whip a lot of ass. You can probably find some of their stuff on Morpheus. You'd think with a name like Slobberbone, they'd be some kind of crazy hard stuff, but they're not.

 

Yeah, those are all great: great John Paul Jones songs. Jimmy Page barely played on or wrote anything on Physical Graffiti because he was so deep into his heroin by then. Calling Kashmir a great Zeppelin tune is like saying Learning to Fly is a great Pink Floyd song or Enter Sandman is a great Metallica song. They're all cash-in songs done after their actual creative juices had long dried up that people with poor musical taste that want to be able to claim they like the band latch onto. Of course, having memories attached to crappy music counts for something. I mean, I went to a Bryan Adams concert when I was 17 just to get laid, so I'm not one to talk.

Anyway, I'd suggest Skating Away (On the Thin Ice of a New Day), by Jethro Tull and Our Town by Iris DeMent.

 

Led Zepellin ruined rock n roll.

Great Metallica songs, now that's a good topic.

Breadfan
Crash Course in Brain Surgery
Damage Inc.
Battery
The Prince
Anything on Justice
Seek and Destroy
Don't Tread
Snake

Hell, they're all good.

 

The best record Metallica did was "Master of Puppets." Sanitarium was my favorite.

 

Guess your memory's not too good. Plant and Page wrote every song on Physical Graffiti. The only tunes Jones had a hand in were In My Time of Dying, Trampled Underfoot, In The Light, Night Flight and Boogie With Stu.

What kind of problems must someone have that they feel compelled to deride others for their "poor musical taste." People like what they like. Cripes, sometimes I think you could provide analytical criticism of the way an ant walks across hot blacktop.

 

Maybe Page had some of the tunes in the can for a while before it was time to record Physical Graffiti, but most of the few tracks he laid down were scrapped because he was too out of it. That album just plain sucked and anyone who likes it is a moron, not just in terms of their musical taste, but intellectually and spiritually. Ugly too. That's not my opinion, it's documented fact, and I'll find you an article in the Washington Times to prove it.

It's nice to know that you care about the deep problems I have that make me have and voice my stubborn opinion. It's been a very tough life for me and a struggle to get through each day, especially without the benefit of a Prozac/Paxil/Xanax cocktail. And don't get me started on those ants!

So, I guess you like the Delicate Sound of Thunder better than Animals, right loser?

 

You hate it when you're wrong, don'tcha?

 

Wrong about what? Page didn't play on the album and I really don't think he did alot of the writing, despite the credits. If you got 2 ears, you can tell.

 

I won't resort to name-calling, despite your obvious efforts to get me to do so. I can only point out that (A), you called Physical Graffiti a shitty album, (B) acknowledged there were some "great" tunes, but wrongly stated that they were written by John Paul Jones, (C) posted some nonsense about "canned" tunes and (D) stated, wrongly again, that Page didn't play on the album.

I guess I don't understand where you're going with this. Maybe Page did in fact play on the album but Jones was moving his hand along the fretboard? Perhaps Jones dictated the lyrics and an incapacitated Page merely wrote them down on paper? You tell me, you were there.

I just wish my taste in music jibed with yours, then maybe it wouldn't suck so bad and I wouldn't feel like such a "loser" and a "moron."
