Ready to (Classic) Rock!

It ain't all drum machines and synthesizers 'round here...



Since I don't consider Radiohead to be a quote-unquote "rock band" (You ever hear any stories of Thom Yorke trashing hotel rooms or banging groupies or snorting ants? Me neither! They may be geniuses, but they're pretty much a bunch of boring nerds. They have a freakin' blog for crissakes! That is SO not Rock & Roll!), I consider Led Zeppelin to hold the title of Greatest Rock Band of All Time. And really, it's not even close except for maybe the Stones... and don't even mention the word Beatles in this conversation, or I will smite you - they were the original boy-band until they did a load of drugs and got freaky. Led Zeppelin, now, they were born freaky, and that my friends, makes all the difference. You think Jimmy Page would put up with Yoko Ono's bullshit for more than like 5 seconds? Hell no! He woulda kicked her shrieky ass out the door, erected a bouncy castle in his hotel room, filled the sink with Jack Daniels and wrote a song about Gollum while getting a three blow jobs! And you know what, the Gollum blow-job song would fuckin' RAAAAAAAAAWK!!!!!!!

This song, however is all quiet and pretty, from their fifth album, Houses of the Holy, which I would say is one of their best, but they're all brilliant, so what's the point in that?

Led Zeppelin - The Rain Song


Buy It!

Because sometimes you gotta serenade a lady before you stuff a live fish up her hoo-hoo...
