Hello all,
I have returned from the irish corner of lurkdom, to say 1 or 2 things
about whats goin on here lately. I was just sitting here, trying to 
ignore 
friends on MSN while listening to the White Album, skipping the awful 
Dont 
Pass Me By, i thought, =93why the hell dont i post something here, if 
all 
these people can post their arguments about bands they like or hate, 
then SO
CAN I (its things like this that make me stop listening to the 
over-payed
ed committee of voices in my head.) If it's boring, its not my fault. 
If my
typing is bad, its my fault.
So here ya go

>thread like I really like the music of ___.... 

Ok, I really like the music of ___...Led zeppelin, Beatles, Pearl 
Jam, Oasis,
At The Drive-In, The Who, Pink Floyd, A Perfect Circle, Tool, Neil 
Young,
Radiohead, Stereophonics, The Verve, Ocean Colour Scene, Travis (when 
im 
in a silly mood), Bob Dylan, Turin Breaks, Jove, Orkid, Pennylicker, 
Turn,
Co.uk, JJ72(cos we're good friends) and Eric Clapton.
There's probably more but i cant think of them.

Well, this ladies and gentlemen, is a brave Motherfucker!! Correct me 
if im
wrong (thats just ASKING for flaming), but it seems to me that just 
about 
everybody here WORSHIPS the '77 stuff and they all seems to love 
ITTOD and
Presence. Now, i havn't got the largest boot collection, well, 2 to 
be exact,
so i cant comment on '77 shows, but i think their albums after PG 
were all
a big let down. When they were originally released, they were spaced 
out
a little to soften the blow, but i bought them pretty much in one big 
go,
si for me it was traumatic!! The band i loved turned on me like a 
woman driver
on a hair-pin turn (cue: more flaming). I just think they lost their 
originality after PG, they weren't as captivating, apart from the odd 
good 
track eg. Achilles last Stand, In the Evening etc.

This is one of the funniest/truest things i've read here in a while. 
Thank 
you for brightening up my otherwise blindingly delightful day.

This is the second truest/funniest thing ive read here in a while.

>I love Chris's idea of a special Zeppelin/FBO wine.  But hey, guys,

Goodbye all,
