[David Kronenbourg]

The Who
The Clash
The Rolling Stones
and many many more

The Who and The Clash - yes to these two. particularly The Who. Behind Blue Eyes is one of the worst songs ever. Zepplin I don't get either.

The Stones are amazing though.

Zeppelin?!? Ah Bernie

Not a huge fan but I like some of it. I liked them when i was in my early 20s not so much now.

NoMeansNo

Seconded. I could never get into these despite hours of enforced listening.

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.

I might get into a Led Zeppelin instrumental album.

 

[therealjohnny]

I could listen to an abridged album of heavily edited songs

maybe

 

[egg_]

Don't Led Zeppelin have a song called "The Gallows Pole" or something? That's the one that finally consigned them to the dustbin for me. No excuse for that song

In other news Guided By Voices bore me to tears

Anyone who dosnt like the Who is sap

The Clash are no use but

 

[GARYXKNIFEDX]

Gallow's Pole is a great tune.

[dudley]

The Smiths

 

[GARYXKNIFEDX]

The Clash for the most part are really awful. couple of great songs but probably not even an lp worth.

 

[pighead]

The love for Youth Lagoon really is really baffling. As a lover of great renown Pighead despises no man or animal but those fcukers really rattle this posters cage.

 

[quaidox]

Shit. You weren't supposed to see that. I feel like I've just been caught wanking by my Ma.

haha, you are in far deeper trouble than that!!

 

[GO]

That band Ghost are one of the worst bands I've ever heard.

Aww dunno bout that now.I had a quick listen to their LP.I liked it.Need to stick it on again and give it full attention but

 

[GARYXKNIFEDX]

I really tried,but it's terrible. What I heard from the new one is worse again.
