Title: Any recommendations for good songs?
Post by: One Man Freak Show on January 14, 2008, 11:31:05 PM
I just cleaned up all the crap (probably fifty songs or so) on my iTunes playlist (and yes, I tagged them all correctly, except for album titles and artwork.), so I need some more songs.

Anything good?

Also, I hate current hip-hop, pop, R&B, and rap. Old stuff like Beastie Boys are okay, but... well, actually, Beastie Boys is really the only hip-hop artist I can tolerate.

Just get everything Led Zeppelin ever recorded. Though I guess it's okay if you don't get Coda.

Anything the Mars Volta have put out.

Except maybe Frances The Mute, really boring album. Only songs that weren't boring were probably Cygnus and L'via.

The Widow and Miranda were amazing.

Cassandra is just bitched about by wussies who can't handle the length.

But anyway, yeah, get the album De-Loused in the Comatorium. Your life will change.

Miranda and Cassandra both have too many boring parts.

Also, the last two and a half minutes of The Widow are just boring sound effects. befuddlement

I can honestly listen to Cassandra from start to finish and never be bored.

And if it's the last third of the song you're talking about, that's my favorite part to be honest  psyduck;

You see me, you know I like Oasis. I think I've spread the word enough, time to force The Zombies down everyone's throat.

I don't really like "We're Gonna Groove" that much.

The only songs I like a lot on that album are "Poor Tom," "Ozone Baby," and "Walter's Walk."

"Bonzo's Montreux" is my least favorite Zepp song, tied with "(Hats Off to) Roy Harper."

'Wearing and Tearing" is too long and boring. Not to mention just not very good in general.

They also ruined "I Can't Quit You Baby." I appreciate Page's enthusiasm, but we didn't need a rape like that to be reminded of his ability on the guitar. It ruins the original feeling of the song.

And oh god..."Darlene." That song is fucking stupid. It's catchy, but the way Plant pronounces "Darlene" just pisses me off so much. It's also waaayyyy too repetitive.

So yeah, Coda is by far their worst studio album, but it's still worth it if you're a fan, since there are at least like 2 or 3 acceptable songs on it.

We're Gonna Groove is much better in it's full glory, live at Royal Albert Hall 1970. It's a great cover, but the production of the version on Coda is just absolutely horrible.

Also, for I Can't Quit You, are you talking about how the song is mixed on Coda or Pagey's actual guitar playing? Because it's taken from one of Zeppelin's best concerts, but (again) the production on Coda ruins it.

Both, sort of. I prefer the original version of the song, all bluesy and slowed-down and such. Page's guitar playing on the Coda version is a bit too crazy for the song if you ask me, and it sounds like he sort of mixed it with the Heartbreaker solo in one part. And yes, the production on Coda makes it sound very sloppy.

I'm sure the live version is much better.

To be honest I'm not a fan of the tune very much (or Zeppelin I for that matter), so I can't really say for sure. However, I can definitely vouch that the live version is a million times better.

You should get into the bootleg scene man, at least for the common shows (ie: Royal Albert Hall 90, Earls Court 75, etc).
