    forever young win today's prize

    and no, its not the rod stewart version :lol: :shock: :o

    soooo glad eddie included 2 dylan songs in his new solo live dvd...even though i'm almost sure he left off the last verse of forever young...which just isn't right....

    p.s there is no 2nd place prize in this category. ;)

    He actually did 3 Dylan songs. "All along the watchtower" is in the extras. :mrgreen:

    good call! didnt get that far yet. yum i love watchtower. best song ever. oops!

    Yes!

    It's a song that I loved the second I heard it in high school, and it's STILL good. It really captures the feel of music at that time too, adding to its perfection :)

    There was a girl in my class who was really into the Smiths back then - used to wear glasses and a 'Meat is Murder' T-shirt under her school blouse. This was around '85, and we were about 13 years old. She was a bit of a loner, really intelligent, and kind of used to get picked on. I didn't really know the Smiths much back then, I got her to play me some one time and I just thought 'How fucking miserable!'.

    I didn't start to appreciate the Smiths until I was in my twenties, but I play them as much as I do any artist today - always love them! I was listening to Meat is Murder the other day, and thinking about this poor girl - how she was listening to all this Morrissey at the time.....

    Anyway - they are remarkable songs! I think of Morrissey as the quintessential English lyricist. He's probably in my top 4 lyricists, along with Dylan, Vedder, and Roger Waters on a good day.

    Journey? Really?

    Yes Journey, their a classic band to me, you have a problem with that?
    To each is own, but I think they're terrible. Absolute cheese with absolutely no substance. The Nickelback of the 70s/80s. Not trying to pick a fight, just surprised to see them on the list.

    Surely you have to enjoy some cheesy bands?

    Dio = Fucking awesome. Love that band, and I loved the man. Cheesy? Yeah, I would say so.
    Van Halen = with Sammy Hagar, I think this band is the epitomy.

    Haha - this made me smile. What a list! I would agree with most of them being perfect. Have been spinning II & IV over the weekend - Thank You and Ramble On are definitely amongst the best things I have ever heard. They knew what they were doing those Zepsters!

    Many bands have ripped off songs by old or dead blues singers, but nobody did it like Zep. 8-)

    Led Zep 4th album: arguably 7 of 8 songs are perfect. Wow.

    I'm quite partial to a bit of Misty Mountain Hop! It's Stairway to Heaven I find overhyped. I think of it as an 'average' Led Zep song (don't kill me!!)
