That album with 'poo' in the title was enough to put me off listening to it.
Bad marketing.

I think he hasn't made a bad record since 1977 [the second Jam LP]. The Style Council rule.

Really, 90%? So if I was to list 10 local bands for you by law of averages you will think about 9 of them are shit?

I can understand people's aversion to them. They're a bit on the serious/influential side of things for a guilty-pleasure and way too ridiculous for a lot of serious musos. Especially classically trained musos who can't stand how sloppy they play. But that's the fucking point. It's rock music. They pretty much invented it as we know it.

This is about Led zeppelin? They were hardly sloppy players were they?

I have a love/hate thing for led zeppelin. Some amazing music that just goes to hell as soon as robert plant starts singing. I'll never get over how such good musicians didn't notice what shite Plant was making of their music. then on other songs, like The Crunge and The Ocean it all works like a dream

They were all amazing musicians and session players but by that standard they were sloppy, or so I've been told by classically trained musicians who presumably love Steely Dan or whatever. Obviously anyone who says this is missing the point. Yeah Plant is certainly my least favourite member but there's no denying the amount of seriously good tunage in their output.
