BTW what do you think of Pearl Jam? A hard rock band that incorporates the softer as well as the harder elements of rock? A modern half-way house between soft and hard rock.

Led Zeppelin >>>>>>>>>>>>>> Pearl Jam.

I don't like the softer sound of Pearl Jam's songs. I don't like the singer's voice. There is almost nothing about their songs that I like, except that they are in tune.

An example of a Pearl Jam song I dislike is "Better Man." It starts out okay with some nice eerie electric guitar, but then turns into a soppy mess of repetitive sap with a little rev-up midway that doesn't redeem the song in my ears. The song is almost completely forgettable to me. I wish it were entirely.

I don't have tepid opinions! :p:

ya, zeppelin is better than pearl jam

Fleetwood Mac, Eagles and Boston are fine with me.

Haven't heard enough of Toto or Journey to have an opinion.

But generally, not a sub-genre I like much.

If you`re interested in these bands, I`d recommend their best stuff to you, they`re both the finest examples of 1970s/1980s AOR.

The Melvins had a huge influence on the grunge bands, but for a grunge fan to like the Melvins is not always that straight-forward especially since their sludge metal sound is not always the most accessible. Place to start though is with Houdini.

I got a lot of flack on another thread when I suggested Television sounded like "Boston with weird guitars"

Thats not as crazy as it sounds and had Television not been making new-wave style music, they easily had the technical ability to play like Boston. People rave over Television and Marquee Moon is a great album but I`d sooner listen to Boston anyday. I mean the Boston debut and their third album Third Stage are timeless classics.

Just saw the video of Jimmy Page from the 50s and thought I'd share. Really interesting stuff. The music is pretty good and it's funny to see him as such a nervous, polite young guy during the interview part.

Led Zeppelin II for me! BY FAR THE BEST! :clap:

Stairway to Heaven was good.

Am I the only one in the world who doesn't think that Robert plant has one of the best voices to grace the human ear?
