si man-- II is awesome if not their best, but i think #I is the place to get started.

of course if he only has one chance to try it yes, go with II.

all the music i like, i like in an ironic way.

i'm such a hipster, i had long hair and beard and wore flip flops before jesus...fucking bandwagon-jumping poseur.

i hate rock so much, i'm going to start a thread asking what my bloody valentine album should i buy only to tell everyone who listens to mbv that they are retarded, they kill babies and that their highly thoughtout opinions are worthless.

Oh, yeah. Jesus only likes Yellow Swans because I do really. He hadn't even heard of them until 20 minutes before that rehearsal.

and


i love luxy. she's my hero.

I hate that bitch.

hm... i think we'll have to solve this one with fisticuffs then...

edit:


gmku-- you too? oh brother. i'm going to need some arnica this week...

you know what? i need to pee.

i think i'm going to start a new thread with a poll so the people here at the board will tell me if peeing is cool or not.

the wonderful moment of ignorant people shutting the fuck up.

I'm back.

Also, don't pee. Peeing is so in right now.

can i pee ironically?

i think "can i pee ironically?" was a brilliant one liner

the ps kinda ruins it. but you could still edit.

ps: i meant all the retards rambling earlier on in this thread.

It's not a sitar on Black Mountain Side. Page liked to use open C quite a bit (CGCGCE), but it's in DADGAD.

---

In the middle of the studio version of this song, Page overdubed a rapid guitar lick that is meant to simulate a sitar. (thanks, Adrian - Wilmington, DE)

This is based on a traditional folk song called "Blackwater Side." The most popular version of "Blackwater Side" was recorded by Bert Jansch, but a folk singer named Anne Briggs also did a version. She was a big influence on Led Zeppelin and on many British singers, but she stopped recording when she was 27 and never became famous. On this album, Zeppelin also recorded her song, "Babe, I'm Gonna Leave You."

White Summer is an almost note for note thieving rip off of Davey Graham's DADGAD classic 'She Moved Through the Fair' (DADGAD is not 'celtic' tuning but is Davey Graham's own tuning developed to play with North African Oud players) Black Mountainside is not a tweaked White Summer - it is an almost note for note thieving rip off of Black Waterside by Bert Jansch - its in DADGAD but Bert plays it in dropped D.

So let me get this straight:
I don't particularly dig Led Zeppelin. I would be happier if they had no singer and most of the time no guitarist. Jimmy Page bugs me about 60% of the time, while Robert Plant bugs me 95% of the time. I have no problem with Bonham and Jones. Rock solid.
This apparently makes me some kind of "hipper-than-thou hipster/poseur," and can have nothing whatever to do with my actual taste in music I am actually willing to spend my time listening to?
I like some 60s/70s arena rock. Black Sabbath is one of my favorite bands of all time. I also buy lathe cut 7"s in editions of 34.
Everyneurotic, your rhetoric can be every bit as generalizing and dismissive as anyone else's, and often smacks of "hipster backlash," especially considering how much obscure and inaccessible stuff you also enjoy.
We all have individual taste. I think Robert Plant is screechy and annoying, and a cheesy lyricist to boot. Do I think Led Zeppelin have done some worthwhile stuff? Yes. Do I think they have done far, far more ridiculously overrated amped-up white boy blooze action with bird-screeching "baby baby push push" bullshit over the top? Yes.
Taste is individual.

THANK YOU!
This is true.

really

My prediction: Most of the albums of today that are lauded as supposedly "great" will be prove to become quite disposable.

As I've written before, I consider Plant a little annoying at times myself, but he is still a great singer. Their whole concert persona was a bit over the top, but he did talk to the crowd pretty well & without airs.

Individuality is boring.

You mean like most of the albums of yesteryear?
