Those have faded in relavence also. You must not be exposed to people who are really into Zepplin.
If you mean that they don't get as much radio play as Justin Timberlake, then I can't disagree with you. But musicians, particularly of the Heavy Metal ilk, cite those songs along with others as being very influential to themselves. Whereas "Communication Breakdown" is lost in translation so to speak.
As far as me being exposed to Zep freaks, I'm feeling claustrophobic. They're everywhere!! I don't know one person in the real world (that has ANY sort of musical credentials) who doesn't worship Zep.

I don't know that that is the proper way to phrase the question, to be honest. But I know what you mean.
I would have to say that "change" is a "constant" thing. The only thing that really changes about change is the rate of change. (What a weird sentence!) And over the past century, the rate of change has increased significantly. You can see this in almost every mode of human endevour.
I agree.
Travis? Are familiar with the term "The Singularity"? It is an important concept and one it would help to be familiar with, just in case such an occurance pops up during our lifetimes. (No snide remarks! We all know it is a possibility)
Do you mean (A) singualarity? If so, I saw one the other night on TNG. If not...then could you explain? I probably am familiar with what you speak of, but it's not exactly rolling of my tongue.

Give them a chance someday. There is some really good stuff in there.<G>
Perhaps I will. Understand however, that I will hold you personally responsible for the content of that music!!

Guitar "hooks" have very little to do with a players quality. Perry is a "good" guitarist, but not a great one. What he does have is an exceptional ear for a catchy guitar phrase, hence my comment.
I dislike the use of the word "exceptional". I don't think it applies to Joe in the least.

Absolutely on of my all time favorites. What Tull did with Scottish music, Horslips did with the Irish. The early albums are very energetic Irish folk rock, but the later albums are just great. Almost every album is a "concept" album. My favorite is Aliens, which is about refugees from the potato famine coming to America.
Cool. I check them out when I get the chance.
> -Steppenwolf
A solid "heavy rock" band of the sixties for the most part. Kaye is a good frontman live.
He's excellent live!! I saw them back in 97. They sounded HEAVY. Oh! I caught one of the drumsticks that the drummer threw my way.
> -April Wine
Posers
"Sign of the gypsy queen..."
> -Heart
One of the greatest bands of all time. Beautiful and powerful music with lyrics that were meaningful.
Yeah I like Heart. Though I wouldn't go as far as "One of the greatest bands of all time". Also saw them in 97. Great show.
> -Wings
Beatles part 2
Do you say that as a good or bad thing?
> -Rod Stewart
One of the best voices ever. early work is classic. later work is abbysimal to poppy.
I couldn't agree more.
-Travis
