There is just to many. The crap we are subjected to today is a testament.

I agree.

[Revolting cat!]

Strangers in the Night is a nice ballad doncha think?

[buccaneer81]

That was the decade of the Scots in music...Pilot, Al Stewart, Bay City Rollers, Woolfson, Gerry Rafferty, Nazareth.

[This Just In]

Can’t view the video. Which performance?

[buccaneer81]

“Tall Cool One” and “Heaven Knows” best songs of 1988.

[Revolting cat!]

You've lost that lovin feelin is THE best!

APP’s best albums (to me anyways) were “Ammonia Avenue” and “Vulture Culture”.

The title track of Ammonia Avenue, was another great song with Woolfson’s vocals, I always preferred the songs he sang on.

U2 - All I Want Is You

[wardaddy]

I grew up in that era....born 1957...to claim led zepplin is blah because they are overplayed for 40 years is crazy

Yes like anything good from then compared to the plethora of crap now
Its overplayed but not because It was blah but frigging incredible
And the bands you list were no more original though Sabbath does shine singularly

Uriah Heep...cool name but Demons and Wizard...its like Spinal Tap
Compared to how far zep took missippi blues and olde English music

Deep Purple...I’m ambivalent

A I saw all of them...some several times

Freepers are unusual about their music pronouncements at times

Are u real time on those bands or retroactive?

[Lazlo in PA]

We need some professionalism in singing on this thread. Enough with the Top 40 nonsense. How about a heavy hitter?

Two other Plant solo songs: 29 Palms and Calling to You.

[merryberry]

thanks i’m new had no idea but I’m glad it was something nice lol

[Revolting cat!]

Angel of Love. One of the greatest, no question.

[MplsSteve]

Geez.....!!!!

I posted that last Wednesday on my “Wichita Lineman” thread. It was, how can I saw this...hmmm, it was...well, different.

I really don’t know what else to say about it.

[DemforBush]

I saw Plant live on the Now and Zen tour. Great show, but the opening act stunk (Mission UK). Wouldn’t have minded so much, but the other two opening acts (on the other two legs of the tour) were Cheap Trick and the late, great SRV. I definitely got the worst of the bunch there!
