...in my life. Maybe I'm picky, maybe I haven't been exposed to enough -- I don't know. All I do know is I've been in a rut lately, and while I love rockin' in that rut, even the wife is starting to credibly accuse me of being a serial "repeater." So, help!
My "rut" has been classic rock 'n roll (I only really discovered Zeppelin about three years ago) and folksy-rock stuff, like CSNY / Neil Young / Van Morrison. Plenty of good stuff, but very well-tread these days.
Thoughts? Suggestions? Help!
Thanks in advance...
with all respect, there is no excuse for a post like this in 2018!
We live in a world of easy to find music unlike any other.
Great news stuff released daily, access to everything ever commercially recorded.
Not sure how one can not discover great new sounds.
I suffer the opposite problem. There are just not enough hours in the day to listen to all the great stuff I have not yet heard in my 60 plus years of listening.
Listen to them and then listen to Page and Plant doing "The Rain Song" with the London Metropolitan Orchestra. My guess is you'll quickly see where any similarity ends.
That is quite true. However, even though he contributed the secret ingredient that made them unmistakably Led Zeppelin, he never wrote a song as pretty as "The Rain Song". I could easily have cited the original version to make my point, but I just recently happened to have listened to the P & P one and it was in my brain.In my opinion Led Zeppelin passed-away when Bonzo passed-away..
Hear hear...give the man a standing ovation!In a way I'm kinda lucky. I've ALWAYS hated Classic Rock. I thought it was a huge betrayal and squandering of all the great things that happened in the 1960s. The so-called great bands of the Seventies were more or less squatting in abandoned spaces left by the Sixties. You might like this station:
