Whole Lotta Love

Whole Lotta Love

zyyyyyyyyyyyuuuuuuuuuummmmmmmmmmmm

There's more going on with that song than melody, vocals and Ozzy swinging his head like a pinwheel. :p:

Same with Whole Lotta Love, although not my favorite Led Zeppelin song there is so much more going on musically as to merit a vote.

No, I agree with that. In fact, my ex (who I can best describe as a percussionistic jazz-fusion lovin' Berklee college of music piano player) even once couldn't believe I was dissin' AC/DC. He said, basically, even if you don't LIKE the music...if you knew anything you would see how good it is musically, especially the "bass line" in Shook Me---(?)---music peeps, is that the phrase I was looking for?

I do really like Zep...just think it's the worst of their popular songs, that Whole Lotta.

I'm just difficult and I do love some nice melody and percussion and jazzy sounds.

I SAW Ozzy when I was in HS. :)

We are debuting "Whole Lotta Rosie" at the Ashton Tavern tomorrow night so... this question is relevant to my interests.

AC/DC is basically, let's take blues rock and bash you over the head with it. Most AC/DC songs have three notes, except for Angus's solo which has 29. It is not "good musically". I would say early to mid Stones can be just as simple, and yet much harder to pull off, because it has hidden swing to it which can't be duplicated. And yet, AC/DC does in fact rock, simply because it's so pure of heart and loudness. It's instinctive, it kicks you in the crotch and you can't ignore it.

Thanks. Was hoping to hear from the bass player. :)

I don't know a lot...though ex tried to teach me some things. I would surprise him from time to time if we were listening to some fusion and I'd notice something in the background, or something in the way it was arranged.

Some day there will be a road trip to see your band, UT. I'll throw Bri in the trunk and we'll just show up.

I see Linger is still lingering on. will someone please shoot that bitch? I think the next field of 64 should be for the worst song ever.

[petulant baby]Well, this one was flawed since the beginning with the obvious omission of STEELY DAN and the heavy-handed heavy guitar raucous stuff that I've been hearing since HS and it still sounds like nails on a blackboard and having heard it 9000 times it only produces yawns and chills whereas I could hear Black Cow 50 million times and still think it's beautiful[/still pouting over that]

I've been voting for the lessers of the evil, imo. Kinda like voting for president.

Just messin'. I mess. Sorta. ;)

But, for the rockers: :devil:

I avoid anything that kicks me in the crotch.:nadkick::bolt:

Whole Lotta Love, if only because it's the Byrds not Dylan we're voting on.

Mr Tambourine Man


I agreed with Shaws assessment of Whole lotta love from a couple days ago. no where near one of the best LZ songs.

Whole Lotta Love has 4.

Dudes

I'm going to be at the gym when Whole Lotta Love comes up again. Consider this my mail in vote.

Can't do that, wouldn't be prudent... but Sundays are light sometimes so maybe the vote won't be up when you get back.

Plus I should really concentrate on other things too so maybe I won't be around to tally the vote in a timely fashion

All The Young Dudes.

Even though I like S&G very much I like Bowie more plus we need something of another genre and that song is one of the best of all time too.

Interesting factoid about the Boxer. It took over 100 hours to record. :eek:



A little about Into The Mystic.



Listed as number 7 on the All Time 885 Greatest Songs compiled in 2004

Moondance( of which Into the Mystic is a song thereof) was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 1999 and has continued to be a highly acclaimed album in the 2000s

In March 2007, Moondance was listed as #72 on the NARM Rock and Roll Hall of Fame list of the "Definitive 200".
In December 2009, it was voted #11 top Irish album of all time.

Teh boxer.

My friend played Into the Mystic on a boombox at his mother's funeral just a few months after she spoke at my wedding. Makes me cry....

yeah , When people play songs at funerals it is a great way to mess up a song forever. Same with Mclaughlin's Angel song played at my aunts funeral. I just can't listen to it without it provoking strong sad emotions.


This reminded me.
I have decided on Walk To The Paradise garden for my moms funeral when the time comes.
I didn't go looking. I heard it one day and just knew I wanted that one. I don't know if that is sick or morbid to plan but it has to happen at sometime. I just don't see how she can go on like this for very long. The song inspires all of the peace I hope is there waiting for her when she does go. I don't want her to of course. She is suffering. I don't know how long people can suffer but I just can't see very far out in the future for her.

I'm sorry...what a downer :( That just spilled out.
