I don't need to be told who is best.

It's like I always say: he who controls the Spice Girls controls the Universe. Now milk that cat while I take a shower in soy sauce.

This is a good example of why polls don't mean anything.

McCain up by 9 points, Obama double-digit lead, "likely voters" etc. Means nothing.

I don't normally pick on spelling, but come the fark on, subby. Zepplin?

"(Spice Girl) Bunton told the BBC News website: "The thing is, when you go to a gig, you go for fun and entertainment and a night out."

Any time my friends and I went to a concert, it was because of our high regard for the music. Afterthought status speaks volumes.

Even though awards of this sort mean shiat this fills me with glee.

Led Zeppelin sucks balls. Second most overrated band ever.

"Hey lets listen to some good music."

"I got this guy who fakes orgasms into the mic while wearing tight leather pants while his band plays music ripped off of old blues musicians."

"Sounds like the best band EVAR!"

Black Dog is one of the shiattiest pieces of 'music' ever recorded.

Shows you what you know. Plant wore tight denim. Jim Morrison wore leather pants.

The story is that Morrison's leather pants were never cleaned. Can you imagine how they smelled?

To be fair, Zeppelin wasn't really a reunion. I'm sure if John Bonham had showed up they would have won hands down.

Try harder next time

Add a Mud Shark and invoke Rule 34 and I don't really have a problem with this

KILLERPIGGY: Kliffoth,
As far as I know, Led-Zeppelin has only been out sold unit wise by The Beatles and Garth Brooks.
We are talking over 100 million units BTW.
Divide that by 10 "official" studio releases.
That averages out to 10 million per release.

Just a fact.


Yes, because sales are always an indicator of quality music. Britney Spears is therefore the greatest artist of her generation.

I liked Led Zeppelin's music better when it was done by the original artists they plagiarized from.

Led Zeppelin: an overblown, glorified cover band with a singer who sounded like he zipped up too fast.

My guess is Therion, in response to which, if true, I would say something about massive stones and giant glass houses.

KILLERPIGGY: El Freak

I think you meant 'many times covered'



No actually I meant they were thieving money whores with absolutely no integrity whatsoever. Their first two albums were almost entirely plagiarized. And no, I don't mean they stole a few licks here and there or were inspired by something, I mean they stole other people's songs note for note and claimed they wrote them. After they got called on it, THEN they started to attempt to actually write material. Though that didn't stop them from continuing to steal other people's songs when they couldn't come up with one.

Critics slammed them at the time, and rightfully so. Most horribly overrated band to ever enter a recording studio. They could play well(other than Plant, the most excruciating "singer" who ever lived), but were they true artists? Nope. Just another record industry money machine.

My guess is that you have only heard their singles. If that's the case you're really missing out on some great music. Try giving Physical Graffiti a few listens (minus the vastly overplayed Kashmir) and see if that alters your opinion any.

The Spice Girls played a world tour to millions of people. They came to your town and, if you liked them, you got to buy a ticket and see them.
Led Zep played one invitation-only gig to an audience that was 80% media whores (funny how all those celebs and journos managed to win a ticket in the ballot, eh?) and 20% public.

Who do you think is likely to win a poll for best comeback?
A massively hyped one-off media event, or a tour that came to your town?

Begs to differ.

E, motherf@#&er, can you speak it!?!?!?!

 
thelocaldrunk 2008-09-19 08:33:14 AM  
so whats the deal with the other pop stars they mention in the article, Will Young and James Morrison? Are they purposefully trying to float on their names or is that just a coincidence?
led zeppelin is bad ass, btw. they got me in to vinyl and i thank them for that (im somewhere in my twenties).

 
DjangoStonereaver [TotalFark] 2008-09-19 09:43:33 AM  
I suspect its due to the amount of cleavage the Spice Girls are showing.

 
bluorangefyre 2008-09-19 10:18:08 PM  
Hey subtard, its spelled Z-E-P-P-E-L-I-N. Or were you just too giggly because the Spice Girls were named better than Zep by somebody who obviously wouldn't know good music if it played in a supermarket.
