Gullah Gullah Island... man I used to watch that show so much. The only episode I remember is the one where there was a storm... you know, now that I think about it, that show was pretty da[font=]mn[/font] racist in some ways. But hey, I live in the South, so I'm used to it.

So, I think I got my friend hooked on classic rock today. I let him listen to some Zeppelin at school, and I lent him my Zeppelin/Pink Floyd CDs :) I'm such a nice person :p

Oh, and here's a question that's been kind of bugging me for quite sometime...how did vinyls work? I understand the basic concept, like the needle going over the groove and like registering bumps or something... but how could the nedle measure such small variations in the texture of the vinyl and how did it make music that way?

That's me for 3 of those :x

I just threw on my dad's vinyl copy of The White Album and was amazed for the same reason. It's very cool how they work.

That made me laugh and feel bad for you at the same time. Poor Walrus :( I'm not one for popularity contests.

I can see why, usually we can be a bit spam-happy You could start out by saying what bands/music you like :thumb:

I listen to a wide variety of music, but some bands relevant to this thread that I'm into include Bob Dylan, Simon and Garfunkel, Led Zeppelin, The Doors, Pink Floyd, and Neil Young. Obviously I'm not the most knowledgeable on this genre, but I'm looking to learn more.

You'll probably fit in well then, especially since you don't type like an idiot :wave:

New guy, you have great taste in music.

Hope you like it here.

For me, Wake of the Flood is almost equal with Workingman's Dead. So hard to choose.

The best part is that you don't have to choose


I just realized why I don't like Led Zeppelin so much anymore: It's not so much that I don't like them as much as I used to, its just that I have heard all of their albums and I am sick of them

The only Led Zeppelin album I've listened to in its entirety is Led Zeppelin IV as I have it on vinyl somewhere but my friend has most, if not all, of their albums on vinyl and we occasionally throw one on when we're chilling.

Led Zeppelin II is my favorite by far.

Such a good album.

I finally got some more Quicksilver.


I just got Shady Grove, Just For Love and Happy Trails. I already have the s/t.

Also got some more ELP. s/t, Tarkus and Trilogy.

So is anyone here interested in the environment, human/animal rights?

I like Zeppelin I and Houses of the Holy the most out of their studio albums, but I prefer The Soundtrack To The Song Remains The Same more than all their albums put together. It's gotten to the point now though, that I only listen to a couple Zeppelin albums a month, although I have the cassette of TSRTS and I always listen to it in my car...usually when I'm baked. I wouldn't say I'm bored/sick of Zeppelin, I just listen to them in moderation these days.

edit - and I'm for saving/helping the environment...I think most humans in North America can stand up for themselves, they can fight for their own rights. The poor environment can't even fight back as we destroy it...except for when the occasional tree falls and kills a person.

This is true, but what about those in lesser developed countries and such. I once read somewhere that Coca Cola employees in South America (?) were killed for joining unions.

I am listening to Led Zeppelin IV right now. However I like Led Zeppelin II a tad more. But they're my two favorite Zeppelin albums.

Zeppelin IV is weird for me....I like all the songs on it a lot, but for some reason I don't really like listening to it as an album. I dunno, it's fu[COLOR=White]c[/COLOR]ked up.

I'm listening to It's All Over Now, Baby Blue. God this song is so amazing.

[QUOTE=Walrus Gumboot]It's not so much that I don't like them as much as I used to, its just that I have heard all of their albums and I am sick of them[/QUOTE]

Same here. For me, you hear one Zeppelin song, you've kinda heard them all.

[QUOTE=EightMilesHigh]Same here. For me, you hear one Zeppelin song, you've kinda heard them all.[/QUOTE]
You can't be serious. Whether you like it or not, Zeppelin was a very diverse band.

So you are telling me Communication Breakdown sounds exactly like White Summer/Black Mountainside which isounds exactly like Stairway to Heaven which sounds exactly like Hot Dog which sounds exactly like Moby Dick which is exactly like All of My Love?

I don't think so.

It all sounds the same when you're hearing Plant's voice.......they're pretty diverse but again Plant's voice almost forces it to all sound the same. I hate vocalists that ruin bands and make bands that sound good almost completly un-listinable.

Plant's voice sounds very different on something like the Lemon Song compared to That's the Way or No Quarter, or really most of the later stuff.

Not exactly, I guess...it's hard to explain. :(

JonG, could you please uplaod some Quicksilver for us? ive been dying to hear more since ive listened to the S/T so much ive grown sick of it.

3 of my friends got arrested today. Apparently he (the cop) pulled up in the creek where my friends were walking and searched them (for what reason I do not know yet) my best friend had a glass pipe and a dime of bud on him so he's the only one who actualy got arrested. Now he's grounded and has a cop follow him but I still don't know what happened to my other two friends. For once I'm [U][I][B]extremly[/B][/I][/U] glad I was grounded.

To keep this some what Classic Rock related: As the cop was putting him in his car he looked down at my friend's Zappa shirt and apprently told my him that Frank Zappa was just crappy druggy music. Probably just another close-minded redneck........

Edit: What does everyone think of Belja(sp?) Fleck? Outstanding musicianship.....I'm finding myself listining to more and more Jam Rock each day.
