OK,First.
Willie Dixon is so fucking roots he's like a giant bag of mushrooms. LedZepp, while totally soul sacrifice is pretty much refined to the point of pharmecutical grade psilocybin.

Willie Dixon's version has like bits of bark and berries and strange random effluvia. Zepp's is like 20 coats of paint, sanded to 320 between each coat and then given three clear coats.
Willie dixon's is earthy and raw like leaping from a tree branch onto the back of a gazelle and slitting its throat with a bonehandled flint knife, while Led zepp's version is like zeroing in on the gazelle from 600 yards with a 10x Unertl telescopic sight mounted on your M40A3.

Willie Dixon's version is like being so horny you just pull over on the jersey turnpike in rush hour and do it right there by the side of the road Led Zepp's version has intertwining candles and is such a freaky scene.

Some one stop me.
All right and B) is this is a fucked up thread. How twisted to try to make me think of a best song ever written. I'm freaking out about that one.

And 3) i'm feeling a bit tardish but I don't really grok the whole field of 64 paradigm. I mean I get teh I ching and the 64 hexagrams and all that, but I'm kind of lost with the whole tennis analogy.

Help?

The Prophet's Song - Queen.

2 kotos, 3 acoustics, 6 electrics, 1 bass, 1 drums, 3 voices, and 3 choruses. And that's just the bare bones. Beautiful but hauntingly creepy lyrics, wonderful instrumentation, and AMAZING stereo...

Ibby · 11-02-2006, 07:27 PM

I could also nominate a LOT of bowie, but i'll just go with Queen Bitch, Rock and Roll Suicide, and Oh! You Pretty Things.

JayMcGee · 11-02-2006, 07:28 PM

mmm..... for real stereo effect, listen to 'Helter-Skelter' (the white album) through a decent set of headphones.

wish you were here? yeah, right......

(PS did I ever tell you about the time I saw them live in '74? Hippodrome Theatre in Birmingham, first set was 'Dark Side', second half was 'our soon to be released album, 'wish you were here'..' - we sat right behind the mixing desk.)

This post gets extra credit for effort. i was winded by the time i got to the end. but........ Led Zeppelin's version is more like running over the gazelle in a sherman tank, IMHO.
