I still don't consider led zeppelin a 60s band, no more than I consider nirvana an 80s band even though nirvana put out their first album in 89

Spot on.

How f***ing stupid do you have to be to consider Led Zeppelin and Yes as 60s bands?

 

It's like when someone asks "Name your top five favourite bands" and 50% of the responders here exclaim that they can't be limited to 5. Dumber and dumberer.

I always felt like favorite band was too broad. the only shittier question is all-time favorite songs.

 

I could break it down by genres I guess. top 5 80s metal, top 5 80s punk, etc. not top 5 80s though.

But if that is the question then that is the discipline required to participate.

I like the Dead Boys additional to your 70s. Sonic Reducer is classic!

Tragic Kingdom and Return to Saturn are two of the best crafted albums ever.

 

I just love their sound, Gwen's voice (and abs).

Well I never expected you to be a fan, which is odd as I am generally in awe of your diverse tastes (we be rare beasts, music fans without prejudice).

 

I have love for the entire No Doubt discography, finding a lot of brilliance in the very underrated latest effort Push And Shove. But those nineties albums (including No Doubt and The Beacon Street Collection) are amongst my favourites.

 

Actually I adore Rock Steady as well (Gwens colab with Prince leaves Madonna crying in the corner).

 

O my I forgot all about No Doubt. I smell a crazy marathon brewing...
