I've never really got what people get out of Led Zeppelin, then again I tend to gravitate away from that whole aesthetic. |

They're unique for one thing. Innovative (for their time). And very talented; arguably two of the best guitarists in rock history and one of the top three drummers. | |

Don't get me wrong, I don't hate Zepp, but I do think they're overrated. | |

Are they unique? They may have been at the time but at any point in the past 25 years? It's like when you watch a really old film that people rave about because it did so many new hugely influential things but when you watch it you've already seen it done hundreds of times and some of those times better. |

Of course no-one will ever be able to touch Paco on the guitar. | |

Well I don't know any band that sounds like them. A lot were influenced by them though afterwards but it's not really the genre I'm into (more of a hard rock than heavy metal guy myself). Some of the innovations were using weird time signatures like 5/4 time and whatever that almost no-one ever even would try. | |

Nah it's not. To be fair I'd say 10 years after a band is big is probably like the peak time to hear the influence of that music from kids who were young teenagers to being in their mid twenties. |

Arguably, lots of boy bands are influenced by the Beatles. I say arguably, because it's their songwriters and management that are influenced, and not in an artistic sense. | |

Robert Plant knows my Stepdad by name, although he is a former journalist and current producer for ITV so it's not quite so unlikely. | |

Well today isn't the 1990s, that was twenty years ago. Are there any bands making music today that sound like the Beatles? | |

Mostly I'm referring to the overall sound. A band that sounded like LedZep or the Beatles today wouldn't sell. Of course they can be influenced by them, but they're not going to copy their sound like bands in their own day tried to. E.g., the Beach Boys were pretty much the Beatles writing songs about surfing. | |

I like them better than Zep overall as well. Townshend is literally a genius, if he had someone like Lennon or McCartney to collaborate with he would be put in their class as songwriters (if that makes sense). | |

I think Ringo is appreciated more by those of us who appreciate electronic music. Ringo's drumming wasn't on the same level as Keith Moon (that's your GDOAT), but it was WAY ahead of its time in terms of its artistic merit. It wasn't rock and roll, and that's why a lot of people think it's not very good. | |

One of the absolute best and most obscure albums from the 70s is McDonald and Giles, from King Crimson. They went off did their own thing, and it is sublime perfection, truly a gem. It's like King Crimson but much softer... like if the Beatles went prog. I recommend just listening to the whole thing. | |

Love Reign O'er Me, that song alone defines Quadrophenia. Possibly the greatest song ever written, certainly a contender. | |

Quadrophrenia is miles ahead of Tommy imo. Tommy has some great songs but a fair chunk of it sounds pretty meh imo. In Q there isn't a single song I would say is 'bad' but also very few I think are amazingly good (Punk and the Godfather, Cut My Hair, LROM stand out to me). Most of the problem I always had with Q was not knowing wtf a mod was apart from it was some guy who lived in England and spent all his wages on clothes and uppers lol. So a lot of the lyrics were pretty unrelatable. | |

If you want to argue that what I say is wrong because of something completely unrelated to my point, then I can't respond effectively to that. All I can do is repeat what I said and elaborate on it and hope you understand the difference between what I said and what you're talking about. | |

I'd argue that you're comparing the vast array of guitar-based rock of today to the premier popularizers of the genre and pointing out that there are differences 60 years later. | |

Of course their influence looks washed out if all you look at is then and now and not the paths that lead from there to here. It's easy to say bands today are so different than the Beatles, so the Beatles influence is lost. It's just a point that is easy to shoot holes in, since it has only 2 data points. | |

nah not that kind of party, just a small gathering at a house upstate, doing a lot of what i assume you mean by "monging" lol | |
| |
03-31-2017 06:44 PM
#1188

Well, monging is what happens late at parties when everyone is spannered and can't think of anything sensible to say, so someone puts some soothing music on, and people either say nothing or talk shit, usually while smoking weed. Some superstar might make a round of tea. That's monging. | |

Yeah basically imagine if you went round a party and hit everyone with a spanner, suddenly the average IQ goes down somewhat. Spannered is a term we use to mean wasted beyond rational thought. | |
