Heartland

Possibly not the most appropriate forum, but I like to think we're a broad, even catholic, church, so here goes. The wife's away, Junior's kipping at a mate's, so I finally got enough free time to watch the DVD Mrs T got me for our last anniversary. Things to say, questions to ask.

Favourite album: In Through The Outdoor - generally slagged by the critics, but as far as I'm concerned it swings like a well hung chariot. Possibly cos it was the only one they released after I'd started paying proper attention. I won't put up too strong a defence, they're all better than the average American s**t that passes for music these days.

Favourite track. Tricky one. Excepting Stairway, of course. Kashmir? In The Light? Immigrant Song? Dazed And Confused? In The Evening? I'm Gonna Crawl? All Of My Love?

Ultimate Compilation. 70 minute CDR. That will keep you scratching your head for weeks. Don't even bother. It's an impossible task.

Does Jimmy Page really need a ten minute solo to convince us he's good? Is whacking your Les Paul with a violin bow a criminal offence? Replies from guitarists only, please.

Favourite Thing: Page's riffs.

Least Favourite Thing: Jon Paul Jones' white suit at Knebworth. (Didn't he know black was best for fat?)

Final Question: Is that a breakfast roll down Robert Plant's trousers or am I just jealous? Oh yes, don't his hand gestures make him look a bit Will & Grace, or was it an acceptable hippy thing? Sexygoth?

Goodnight.

it was years ago when I gave away my Zeppelin stuff: a book, a t-shirt and so on...
well, I think I didn't gave away any record but... the fact that I'm not sure about it speaks for itself... sorry, mate, for a silly post...

Yeah, went down like a lead balloon. I'm obviously in the wrong place.

"Final Question: Is that a breakfast roll down Robert Plant's trousers or am I just jealous? "

seriously. The three CD thingy is very good IMHO

the 23.08 Whole lotta love is a wee bit short though

as the great man once said

No they're not, HIPPY!

dont think theres anything about them i dont like or rate.i even liked one of his solo efforts ummm Manic Nirvana i think it was.
not bad at all considering,and he still sported the rock god poodle perm(with highlights)at that stage too.
bless him.

I have no opinion of Led Zep one way or another but, I do know that The Sisters Of Mercy used "Kashmir" as an intro track at gigs during 81 - 85 (I, of course could be wrong )

Ah. Led Zep.

Robert Plants gorgeous. Kashmir, Stairway to Heaven...classic rock and roll.

Led Zep rocks.

You wouldn't be interested in the Sisters cover of Stairway to Heaven then, hen?

What, the song that EVERYONE who learns guitar can play????? <yawn> .....Next you'll be saying Chris Rea or The Doors are good!!!! <thinking I might start a bit of a debate here........oops>

I'll take that as a NO then, Daisy doll!

I'm with Planet on this one.

"Black Dog " gives me shivers ...........

I wouldn't have any bits to do anyway I shouldn't think....So I suppose I'd grin and bear it!!!!!

They had some very fine moments. They also had some Lord of the Rings moments. Unwise. Robert Plant looked fine with his golden tresses. He's unfortunately still going for the same look. Oh dear. When the Levee Breaks inspired Floodland, the greatest album of all time. This must be regarded as a big red tick. All in all, a very worthwhile contribution to the rock pantheon.

That's a relief. As a veteran here, I guess you've seen a few silly posts in your time. Does this mean I can do my Uriah Heep one as well? Maybe not.

Really? Well I never. You learn something new everyday. I know Eldritch used to say the Sisters were just another heavy metal band. I always thought he was joking until I heard Vision Thing.

@Sexygoth: I think you're on even dodgier ground than me with your remark about The Doors!

I like some Zeppelin songs, clasic rock, like someone said. Hate Kashmir though, because of that rapper guy who covered it, couldn't stand listen to it any more. But hey, Black Dog is cool.

And i like The Doors.

Puff Daddy/P Diddy - Yeah! he's ruined many songs, but his version of Bowie's Let's Dance was pretty , it was still very faithful to the original (but then that's just my opinion).

I like a bit of Led Zep. Led Zep 1 is my fave then I skip right through to Physical Grafitti, the dog's....

led zeppelin 2, 3 and 4 thankyou

god, how can anyone hate the zep. Thats like saying hitler was right!!!

Perhaps a slight exaggeration, but I think the point is made. Presumably the reason every guitar player attempts to learn Stairway To Heaven is because it is universally accepted as a total classic. I guess you're the exception that proves the rule. I can live with that.

Thats good to know!!!! It wouldn't do if we were all the same anyway
