I don't want to be THAT GUY, the guy who says "oh, their most famous song is like, so much worse than their good stuff", but Stairway to Heaven is like, so much worse than their good stuff.

I guess, i was never into them enough to search. To me its a standard bearer of a good/interesting song

Zep 4, of course (I have not looked at the rest of the thread yet, on purpose).

Bruce

P.S. Or was your point going to be "Zofo? Zoso? Fuck, I dunno how you say that. The fourth one."

Their unplugged special was great though, I enjoyed it much more than their other stuff. It wasn't because of page and plant though, it was all of the other musicians (an orchestra, a shitload of ethnic drums and instruments) that really added to it.

Okay, I probably have heard one somewhere without being aware of what it was, but I wouldn't actively seek their music out and listen to it on my own.

Now let's get back to talking about shitty bands. :)

Its one of those things you can't get away with even if you tried. If you ever watched TV you have accidentaly heard a LZ song. Or been on a bus with a radio or something. I would think anyone who has lived in this country for more than a year would be exposed to them at least on accident.

There is no reason to listen to the "4" album, I like Stairway to Heaven myself, it's not its fault it has been played a million times, I enjoy a few other TUNES by them as well but am by no means a classic rock junkie. They were important, I recognize that- give them their due credit and don't go out of my way to listen to them.

The vast majority of classic rock doesn't interest me. Sorry, but I don't know what to tell you other than that. It's not some kind of inside joke or avant-garde artistic statement, it's just that I would rather listen to Tom Waits or Mr. Bungle than Led Zeppelin or AC/DC.

However, I will torrent and listen to whatever album Stairway to Heaven was on if you like.

The Led Zeppelin thing was a throw away line.

I picked the most played song of all-time as an example.
I am neutral on Led Zepplin whatever....

But is funny for the clods (hygraed) here to pretend to not have even heard a Led Zeppelin song? Did I miss a another inside joke? Someone here is so in tune and beyond us all musically that it proffesses to have never ever heard a Led Zeppelin song before????

Couldn't tell you. Then again, I have never heard a Led Zeppelin Song, nor do I care to, so I am probably not the person to ask.

Yeah, why would anyone want to hear a Zeppelin song?

They skip. Can be remedied easily by putting it on top of a thick sweatshirt or towel. Worked everytime, and a small price to pay for having my cds in a car with only a tape deck. This is how I spent a year in my work truck :)

If you have a tape deck, a cassette adapter will yield far greater sound quality than the staticy shit the FM transmitter spits out.

Haha, I used to have that tape mechanism that went to a portable CD player. I would constantly get pissed off because the CD player would skip. I should find a device that does tape player - to - flash-based MP3. That'd be awesome.

"Stairway" was on the fourth, untitled album. June of '72 I believe. I'm going to hazard a guess here...Atlantic SD15342 was the Label no.

Now I'm gonna go lookit up.

Well here is the funny part.

First the Nerve came out 95.1 first ones to play Modern Rock that was mainstream, Nirvana, STP
Then

94.1 came out which played the modern rock songs that weren't edgy, like softer Nirvana songs, goo goo dolls

THEN the nerver switched to like 107.3

Then 94.1 went out of business,

Then the nerve went out of business.

Then 94.1 became the Zone which plays the exact same thing as the Nerve

THEN 100.5 came on, took the playlist from the old 94.1 (soft modern rock) and has an advertising campaign about how different they are playig a music catalog they found in there studio from a failed station that was around 10 years ago.

So if you lived in Rochester for 10 years you have heard every song played currently on 100.5 a million times. It is rather annoying.

Why do I listen? Because my work truck has 4 presets and I am in it for at least 4 hours a day. And I'm not getting staelite. I would think 90% on the songs played on Rochester radio need no introduction

The reason why he does that is because people like me listen occasionally, can hear songs 40 times, and never know who the artist is, because I was apparently supposed to be born with this hipster knowledge, because all of these bands are totally not interchangeable!

Granted, U2, sure, but the rest of them? How am I supposed to download the one cool song any of these loser bands made without knowing their retarded band name?

It was the untitled album, that old hipsters named, "Zoso"!!

And I don't even like Led Zepplin (although Stairway to Heaven is an amazing song).

The stations that should tell you what the song is called, because they play new music, don't. On the other hand, out here you get, "That was Sususidio by Phil Collins." I'd have never figured that the fuck out, if he was being tortured by Al Qada and his mommy was named "Susudio" he wouldn't have said it as many times as he says it in the actual song.

I can't, and I've owned it for years.
