Ok, so I'm not gonna continue on with the Led Zeppelin discussion, since I'd
rather not take sides and fuel the fire.
However, I do think Led Zeppelin has some beautiful work(s). I by no means
have pursued listening or buying any of their stuff in the past few years,
but they do have an apparent impact... Wayne Coyne of the Flaming Lips-- I
know that fer sure. From what I understand, they helped pick rock n' roll up
from a fairly stagnant pop culture in the late 60's.
oh well. I, for one, lost a lot of respect for Jimmy Page and the band when
Page came in and "endorsed" the likes of Puff Daddy. ick! ;)
... and then David Bowie-- I still love Bowie no matter what, mostly for his
earlier (70s) stuff, but Bowie must've sold the rights to someone so Puff
Daddy could tear up "Let's Dance". It's as if Puff Daddy was given
permission to tear up all the good music. And it's especially terrible when
Jessica Simpson, I think that's who did it, took a bad 80s song and remixed
the music, or a riff, to fit her voice and big tits. What's the world coming
to?
a remix of the 60s, 70s, and 80s? (society on the whole)
However, Elvis was brought up a minute ago... and I still wonder what he did
for music, IN MY OPINION-- he started something, but I have yet to hear
something I actually like or take to. I mean, I listen to the Oldies station
mostly when I get sick of my mix tapes and he's one of the main artists I
just cannot stand to listen to.
maybe someone can cite who Elvis has influenced, but...
???
Also, Doug Martsch better than Jimi Hendrix on guitar?...
Doug is great, but how can you substantiate that?... how can you qualify
such a thing? I understand maybe you're going for a matter of opinion as far
as their styles go, but the better of the 2?
fuck it, DOOD!
