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).

You are certainly right that it won't be popular. Perhaps not your cup of tea, but I am not sure how you can say they "suck". Along with Sabbath they are probably the biggest influence on all modern metal and a lot of rock.

I listened to them a lot growing up as my older brother got me into 70's rock like Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, Deep Purple, Rush, Queen. I don't like all of their albums, but I love a lot of their tracks.

Other than some pretty stock standard blues riffs and progressions, I am interested in what you meant by them stealing a lot of ****?

I think they suck because I think their songs and albums are terrible with some minor exceptions.

They are all incredibly talented musicians outside of Plant but I'm simply not a fan of the final product.

I'm a huge fan of Sabbath, Deep Purple and Queen FWIW (I enjoy Rush but couldn't call myself a huge fan). Fantastic bands.

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.

One of my favrite beatles covers. Recorded in 1 take at Abbey Road Studio.

Always thought Zeppelin was overrated. Also, I've always run into those, like myself, who feel Floyd is the greatest while not liking Zeppelin too much. I just think Floyd were so much more progressive and "different." Not that Floyd is underrated, because of course they are not to a degree. However, I think they don't get mentioned as much when talking about the greatest like Zep, the Who, Stones, and the Beatles (who were huge influences on Floyd). But, whatever, it really doesn't matter. What I do know is Waters and Gilmour still tour and sound great, while the Stones and the Who along with Plant or whatever look like and sound like a bunch of hacks today, but that may be a product of their singing style.

Black Sabbath and Queen were always my favourites of that group, Queen particularly. All their albums are good/great (except Hot Space in my opinion) but their first two albums are amazing.

Doing All Right would probably go close to being my favourite all time Queen track.

I've just finished watching the first season of "Easy" on Netflix. Interesting series so far.

Except for Dave Franco. How on earth does anybody in show business think this guy can act? He makes his also terrible-acting brother James look like a thespian god. It must be embarrassing to all the other members of the cast.

I know I'm late to the party on this but if Daniel-san breaks into the crane technique in a pair of Dockers with Johnny I will achieve 150% sexual arousal. Not half-mast. I'm talking official "pants tent" action.

Academy Awards went full trash this year. As a film student, can 100% say Dunkirk>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Shape of Water

Dunkirk is a good technical film, but it doesn’t resonate much further than that imo. I wasn’t a huge fan of this year’s nominees on the whole though if being honest.

[Dannyboy36]

I can’t stomach the awards shows but I admit I like seeing what was particularly ridiculous the next day. Seacrest shunned and Kobe gets an Oscar and celebrated. Smh.

[jmr07019]

I'm a tad late on this but watched the first episode of planet earth 2 and it was excellent. The snakes chasing the baby iguanas was awesome. Imagine that being the first experience of your life. Yeesh. Glad to be at the top of the food chain.

Even though I’m officially independent voter I’ve always leaned heavily liberal side but the word “ liberal” is something I shudder at hearing due to these Hollywood fakes.
Jimmy Kimmel had “ the man show”with chicks called Juggies jumping on trampolines. He even had a game “what’s in my crotch “with chicks finding out.
Now he’s this liberal media darling. Ryan Seacrest cleared and shunned I read and then Kobe is given an Oscar and nobody bats an eye.
I wish Ricky Gervais hosted and started with a Hillary dig. I’d freaking pay to see the faces in the crowd for that.

Finally played a show where I didn't have to beg people to show up and we filled the room we were playing. Feels good man.

Congrats, man. I entered the music industry last year. This is some ****, dude. Wilder than the writing scene. Everyone tries to backstab you.

The only real problems I've had so far are grumpy sound guys and getting people to get off their couch for the night but I've heard some other horror stories.

Philly scene may be different.

The guy who owns all the bars and venues around here is a notorious douche. We've probably just been lucky so far.
