[THE STEELY DAN THREAD]

I haven't read all the posts so I don't know if anyone agrees with me. If not, that's okay.

Just the other day in the other bands thread, a band was mentioned that I didn't particularly care for, but I figured, so what. If I don't like them then don't go to that thread. I consoled myself with the fact that at least no one has started a Steely Dan thread.

I ABSOLUTELY CANNOT STAND THEM. THEY MAKE MY SKIN CRAWL. IF YOU EVER WANT TO TORTURE ME TO PUMP INFORMATION FROM ME, PUT ME IN A ROOM AND PLAY THEIR MUSIC AND I'LL SAY ANYTHING TO STOP THE MUSIC.

I'm so sorry to be so outspoken about this and please don't flame me. I can see how die hard Zep fans like other bands, but honestly, I can't see how a die hard Zeppelin fan can also care for SD's music. Truly, I don't get it.

When my husband and I are out and about and there is a juke box, I, of course, play some Zep tunes. Just to be funny he plays SD and adds extra money to the machine to bump my Zep. Funny guy heh!

No seriously, please don't take my comments as an offense. I just couldn't keep quiet!

[Finding Led Zeppelin in unrelated places]

I was shopping for a birthday present for my son who is attending a birthday party today. I saw the entire line of Thomas the Tank Engine toys. The one that jumped out at me was Percy! LMBO! Okay, not a direct LZ sighting, but it did make me laugh.

[What's the weather like where you are?]

11.1 inches of snow.

[What's the Next Concert You're Attending?]

The Music of Led Zeppelin. It's a cover band doing all Zeppelin tunes backed by the Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra. I love rock music being played in its original form and being backed by an orchestra. Going to see this in February.

I saw Kansas do this once and I loved it when Metallica did it too. So powerful!
