oh..you know what? you're probably right! my complete respect for elton
john, stevie wonder, al green, the rolling stones, the talking heads, brian
eno, iggy pop, the beatles, beach boys shows a lacking of broadened
horizons in my music taste. i apologize, i'll try a little harder next
time.
excuse the sarcasm..in all seriousness, i think it's possible that i just
don't like led zeppelin. maybe i should appreciate them a little more,
you're right. i understand why they're a breakthrough band, i just don't
agree...it's like something in my head that's trying to fight off
respecting their work, because i really hate how they sound i guess.
