No, actually, I didn't. I said heavy was relative, and that these 
aren't
the "heaviest" albums ever, as one person stated. There is "heavier",
both lyrically and sonically. c.f. Machine Head's "Burn My Eyes", for
example.

Cheryl, is that you?

No, I hang my head in shame and admit that it's true, I've never had 
sex
while listening to a Zep bootleg. It gets even worse than that. I've 
had
sex while listening to "Hysteria" more times than I care to remember.
:-(

My wife and I did make "All My Love" our wedding song, does that 
count?

I fully agree. Hell, I even said that!

Not so. I'm 35, I grew up on vinyl, I have the whole Zep catalogue on
both vinyl and CD. I've been a fan for 25 years now, ever since I 
signed
"Presence" out of the local library.

But... but... I never said they weren't.

Um, while it may not be readily apparent from my handle, I'm a man. A
straight one, married and stuff. I'm into the music, not the jeans. No
offense.
