  1. 1988 - Dyers Eve by Metallica
  2. I would have said ZZ Top, The Police & Nirvana. But to be different, I will instead say: The Beastie Boys :lol: James Gang Grand Funk Railroad
  3. Titanic It had been a while. It will be a while again.
  4. I figured I wasn't the only one thinking about this...the reunion in 2007 with Jason Bonham on drums at London's O2 Arena was nothing short of incredible. Everyone still had it, and Jason MAY have been a better drummer than his dad. Plant's voice was still very solid, especially notable on "Kashmir"
  5. LOL, Rush recovered from synth to give us "Counterparts" So the disease is curable. :lol:
  6. 1983 - Too Shy by Kajagoogoo
  7. I would say loudly NO. The band was already drifting apart musically. The later albums were a transition from guitar rock and more into synth. Consider the track "Carouselambra" (sp?): I have read that during that track, and really during the making of "In Through The Out Door" there were two Led Zeppelins. There were the partying ones (Bonham and Page) and the ones still wanting to make serious music (Plant and Jones). The latter set out to write, and the former two would come in and record whatever parts fit what was already written. They were too busy living like rock stars to care much about another album, and it was starting to show, although I did like what the two of them brought to the aforementioned track. And so as the work was going down the tubes, Bonham gave Zep a great reason to break up. Plant and Page were not wanting to go the same path music wise. The last L.P.’s were not even worth a listen in the view of a lot of fans. In Through the Out Door got a lot of radio play, but don’t be fooled. Page wanted to stick with the proven, safe route, and Plant wanted to explore more. Jones had his own ideas and stepped up to the produce the album, more or less, because Page was so out of it. I doubt the fans would have continued to buy in by the time we got to the early 80s. “Presence” was not a great seller. “In Through the Out Door” did better, but the move away from heavy riff-rock did not go unnoticed by the Led Zeppelin public, and that's what made this band in the first place. More than that, Led Zeppelin was also seeing its success start to take a hit from the rising punk rock movement in Britain. The music press was starting to lean away from big arena rock like Zeppelin, and more to the "grassroots" music of The Clash and The Ramones. Page told the band they needed to completely pull away from the big arena sound because no one was going for it anymore. He once again wanted to return the band to a hard-rocking blues group and start playing smaller venues. The other members had other ideas, all different. It just looked like Zep was coming apart at the seams, but Bonham's death made all of that tension moot. Thoughts?

  10. But if you did, you'd be the loudest guy on there. ;)
  11. Just watched "School of Rock" for the first time. Not bad, I liked it.
  12. People running around like ol' Beeker here when Facebook and Twitter went down.
  13. :( So where exactly did that 7 billion go, and most importantly, when am I getting my 1% share of it?
