Definitely one of the best Beatles covers. Also one of my favourite Siouxsie recordings.

Yeah, I feel she's underrated, but that's the nature of alternative music I suppose. I saw her twice in the 80s. I still have the concert review from the Boston Globe of her Peepshow tour I saw at the Orpheum. It was one of the best shows I've ever seen. I saw her the year before when they used to have concerts on Boston Common.

Where I come from (Argentina) she had quite a cult following. She and The Cure were probably the only goth/new wave bands with any kind of success down in Argentina, with The Cure playing stadiums and Siouxsie much smaller venues.

Yeah, cult following is a good way to put it. That's pretty much the same up here in the States. The Cure are pretty big. Got to see them a few times in the 21st Century and all shows were sold out.

Usually takes me like 5-6 listens to love a new song. Sometimes, it takes 20+, and I have no idea why that is. All of a sudden, it just clicks like a mother ****. This is one of those.

Very nice, a much more serious and techno-trance-electronica effort than KLF, who were basically
Merry Pranksters trolling and spoofing the industry.

That has to be the Poppiest (well poppy for them) The National song I've heard, but I like it, reminds me somewhat of what Weezer did with their Happy Hour... well a Happy Gothic Pink Rabbits of a day to all the Vanderlyle Crybaby Geeks!

I came across this duo by accident at a festival and I was FLOORED :o . Obviously stayed for the whole set. Absolutely unbelievable musicianship by both of them. Would love to see them again.

I used to 'hate' his singing style but I saw a concert from them like 10 years ago and became an instant-fan since then. I also have no idea why 'cause I really disliked it at first.

Most, if any won't know these guys, but I highly suggest you check them out. Completely dominated the local and regional scene in the early to mid 90s. They would sell out shows within minutes, even at the Portsmouth Music Hall. Unfortunately, the lead singer Jeff Bibbo passed away yesterday. So sad, they just completed their first new album in 20+ years. Below you will find some old stuff and some of the new stuff that I'm guessing was part of the new album.

Thoughts on Greta Van Fleet? They totally are ripping off Zeppelin but at the same time they're better than any new music on FM radio and their music rocks. I guess the Zeppelin rip off doesn't stop me from enjoying their music.

I had never heard of this band but I love this. I feel kind of dirty listening to this obviously derivative music and enjoying it, much like I felt when I listened to the first Black Crowes record over 25 years ago. (The Crowes became one of my favourite bands.)

I love the Black Crowes. My location on here was Amorica for the past year or so, haha, just changed it back to Philly.

Zeppelin stole plenty of **** themselves.

I'll just say it. It won't be popular but **** it.

Led Zeppelin sucks. Worst music I've ever heard from musicians of their level of technical talent (outside of Plant, who I personally think is a hack and overrated as a singer).

Not a popular one but one of my favorite Black Crowes songs:

YOU LOSE
