Blind Melon. God how I loved this band. Still got their debut album on cassette. I really think these guys would have put out so many more great albums
I said they could have been the next Zeppelin.
I do not retract that statement.
Led Zeppelin is one of the greatest bands of all time. Agruably the best. Blind Melon achieved some success, but never exactly took the world by storm as Zeppelin did. There is a talent disparity as well. Bonham one of the greatest drummers of all time. Page one of the greatest guitarists of all time. Plant's voice... well... unreal! JPJ is an underated musician and writer of music.
I'll respectfully disagree with your statement. Blind Melon, as much as I might have appreciated them back in the day, are wet tissue compared to Zeppelin.

Who the hell cares. Blind Melon was a great band. No one ever said they were better than Zeppelin.

What kind of goofy remark is this? I never said they were the shits. It would appear that you have difficulty following the discussions in these threads. My response was to the comment that DeadMan made suggesting that Blind Melon was going to be the Next Led Zeppelin.
So, Red Mosquito... you are wrong. Someone did make a comparison to Zeppelin. Is discussion and debate completely out of the question in threads such as these?
I love Zeppelin and The Beatles as much as anybody, but I think they accomplished too much for this conversation. I'm not sure how staying together would've benefited them. I include the Doors in this as well, but personally, I think their career was too long.
This topic is length of career. The Beatles as a successful band were together a shade over 5 years. Of course they put out 2 album per year most of that time but still was way too short.
I agree with you about Zeppelin though. They shouldn't be on this list.
the beatles were around for ten years. 1960-1970. started recording with their well known lineup (w/ringo starr) in 1962. so give them 8 years considering that.
and i completely agree with dewie cox. the beatles accomplished so much in that time, and then we got the solo careers out of them. not sure we would've benefited as fans by having the beatles around as a group longer than they were. same goes for zeppelin.
As much as I liked Sublime, I don't know how long that style would have lasted. I could be wrong with that, but I sure loved them when they were around though.
I agree with this...I think they would have travelled the same path jeremy lin is destined to go down. But I would've loved to see where they could have gone.
I echo CCR and The Doors for sure.
I will add SRV...he had 10 or so highly productive years but still far too short
oh god. are we really injecting jeremy lin into this discussion? WOW! clearly a bitter boston fan here. go GIANTS!
oh god. are we really injecting jeremy lin into this discussion? WOW! clearly a bitter boston fan here. go GIANTS!
Honestly the last thing that Boston Fans would be jealous of are Knicks fans. Even 76ers fans aren't jealous of the Knicks. hahahahahahaha
boston has a major inferiority complex when it comes to new york. it really doesn't matter what the team is. my gmen just beat the pats in the super bowl! and then the media seamlessly shifts to an out of nowhere point guard phenom starting for the new york knicks....trust me, this is killing bostonians everywhere.
they released an ep, then their first album, did a couple of tours, got a decent sized write up in rolling stone, and promptly imploded....sad, because that first album is one of my all time faves...

I actually do not care about the NBA whatsoever and I actually threw that in for RM22's sake since i so enjoyed reading his argument about Lin yesterday.
And yeah...I am a Boston fan in Mizzip...but I was pulling for the Giants since I wanted my boy Eli to have more titles than his Volunteer brother. Go Giants...I'm with you on that one
Still i should note that I do have the same stance on Lin's staying power as RM22 does.
Ok..no more Lin
All I have to do is revel in the everyday....then do it again tomorrow
They say every sin is deadly but I believe they may be wrong...I'm guilty of all seven and I don't feel too bad at all
Still i should note that I do have the same stance on Lin's staying power as RM22 does.
Ok..no more Lin
That's because your basketball IQ is very high. All these Lin fans are fair weather fans that latch on to the next big story, kind of like all of the Tebow frauds out there.
If he played anywhere but NY, people still wouldn't know who he was just like they didn't for the last 6 years he's played organized basketball.

it isn't my intention to hijack the thread and turn it into a jeremy lin debate, but this statement is asinine. lin has been playing great basketball, and has had arguably the best series of games to begin his career as a starter in nba history.
the only thing similar about tebow's story is the way the media has not stopped talking about it. tebow is an overachiever who has no business starting at quarterback in the nfl and managed to string together some miraculous nail-biters, taking advantage of the fact that football, contrary to our other major sports in the US, is the ultimate TEAM game.
Lin is a stud who slipped through the cracks.
bottom line is one guy can play his position, the other can't.
