We Catholics know how to party. Christ is resurrected? Let's all go to church, come home ,change into clothes that make us all look like professional golfers.Then meet up at someone's house and search for boiled eggs in the yard, go inside and eat loads of chocolate until the canned ham is ready. We Rock!

I'd like to buy them for my daughter. I wonder if she's got any money on her dresser that I haven't gotten to.

That's a reflection of my head in water. Do you like it?
No. I'd prefer it if your head was underwater.

Absolutely agreed.

I think Eric Clapton did his version almost to the tee of this one.Even with the vocals!
Freddie kicks ass!
A lot of people have done it, but I'll admit I like Clapton's best. I saw him do it on the blues only tour, the whole show was great.
What did you think of that MC?

This is classic.

I listen to Joe Bonamassa at least once a week, here he is doing "Tea For One" with a guest singer.

Seriously underrated live act. They left it all out there every show, and looked like they were having a blast doing it.

No, "metal" is not it.
We all recognize that many other LZ songs do things well that are also done well in ALS. That's a copout on your part.
The important point (some of which are recaps) is that it has one of the most memorable, gripping intro/outro riffs of all time (the way the intro riffs start out out of time and then come together), a main riff that in the words of one of my past roomates (who wasn't even a LZ fan) is "not a riff you forget" (I was surprised he recognized it after I lazily played a few bars of it on my guitar one day...prompting his resonse that I still remember to this day), the best solo in the LZ catalog, the gripping military drum rythym in unison with the bassline (that changes slightly when repeated during the solo...to chilling effect), the non-standard song structure that doesn't just work but works magnificently, the only 10+ minute song I've ever heard that has never gotten tiresome even one time that I've ever listened to it, the cool uniqueness of the galloping bassline, the guitar/vocal in unison section (especially the syncopated rythmic playing Jimmy does in between the repeating unison lines), one of Bono's greatest drum showcases not just for technical difficulty but for how perfectly it lifts the song, the way it's seemingly overproduced but yet everything works perfectly to create its epic feel (don't slight its production merits; I've heard many well-written songs get held back by poor decisions made in the mixing and instrumentation...to get it perfect is always an accomplishment), the magnificent lyrics, and then ending the way it begins ...leaving you still holding that breath half-in while you let your adrenaline wear off. There's much more if I was to take the time/effort. I even like how in the last military rythym section Jonesey unexpectedly drops out for just a couple of beats.
It seems your error is in thinking it has to all be summed up by one thing. Its all of those things. There are not plenty of songs in Zep's catalog that do so many things as well as ALS does. There must be a dozen moments in that song capable of inducing goosebumps. That doesn't impress you? If you read those things I listed off and think "I'm not sure what he's talking about", then you need to listen again, because it's what the rest of us are hearing. I normally am quick to write off differences in opinion as legitimate differences in taste, but since you're obviously a fan of Zep's music, I can't write if off as "well, you just don't like that type of music. Don't cop out.
Thank you.

Achilles Last Stand is simply one of the best Rock n Roll Songs ever for me.
"I'll tell you about doing all the guitar overdubs to "Achilles Last Stand." There were basically two sections to the song when we rehearsed it. I know John Paul Jones didn't think I could succeed in what I was attempting to do. He said I couldn't do a scale over a certain section, that it just wouldn't work. But it did. What I planned to try and get that epic quality into it so it wouldn't just sound like two sections repeated, was to give the piece a totally new identity by orchestrating the guitars, which is something I've been into for quite some time. I knew it had to be jolly good, because the number was so long it just couldn't afford to be half-baked. It was all down to me how to do this. I had a lot of it mapped out in my mind, anyway, but to make a long story short, I did all the overdubs in one night ... I thought as far as I can value tying up that kind of emotion as a package and trying to convey it through two speakers, it was fairly successful."

This is what it says on the Sirius web site.
Changes:
The Pulse 9 12
The Bridge 12 33 Returns 1/1/09; Currently Led Zeppelin Radio
I've been listening to them on 33 most of the day.
The format is back to repetitious, shame, Sunday was great!
Lots of Plant tracks , a few live Zep and most of Coda.

eeeeyah, but I wasn't around for the first time and I still get what he's saying.
They literally play the same songs in the same order on the same day, later in the day.
I definitely agree with the material you suggested.
I'd even like to hear an occasional cover of a Led Zeppelin song. They're never as good, but they can be more fresh.
Yeah I agree ,night is really bad. However I was surprised to hear Walter's Walk and Skips Song this morning, I've been listening to it a lot and didn't recall hearing those.

...Atlantic Records purchased Ray Charles recording contract from Swingtime in '52. So Ray was originally on Atlantic Records before moving to ABC-Paramount in '58. He was born in Georgia; his 'Georgia on My Mind' is merely a cover of Hoagy Carmichael's 1930 standard.
This from stevewinwood.com (2006):
At the recent Montreux Jazz Festival, Steve participated in a tribute to Ahmet Ertegun. Steve received a standing ovation after his performances of "Georgia on My Mind" and "Can't Find My Way Home." Steve selected the latter composition, as Blind Faith originally was released on Atco Records (a subsidiary of Atlantic Records) in the USA. Steve also played Hammond Organ alongside George Duke at the finale. Also joining in were Chic & Nile Rodgers, Robert Plant, Stevie Nicks and Kid Rock. It was an improvised jam -- one of those moments where things aren't planned, but turn out very special indeed.
Kid Rock?well that may explain the tears.

So far as I know Jimmy never approached Winwood, who, like Reid, was steadily building
his own career. I tell you what though, I saw Winwood perform at the Ahmet Ertegun Tribute in Montreux, Switzerland back in 2006 and IMHO he flat out stole the show. He
did a rendition of 'Georgia On My Mind' that would've made Ray Charles weep. Robert
Plant also performed that night. Jimmy was to have joined Robert but cancelled the day
prior on account of medical concerns with his knee.
Who are you to presume what Ray Charles would do? And why is Steve Winwood playing another label's song at an Ahmet Ertegun Atlantic tribute?
Anyone knows that Georgia On My Mind was recorded by ABC-Paramount Records.

In 1994, Rod Stewart was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Because of a California earthquake he decided to stay home with his wife and kids at the time. It was decided that Jeff Beck would stand in for Rod and accept for him.
Beck's words at the ceremony:"Rod and I have always had a love, hate relationship, He loves me and I hate him"
I wouldn't take anything either one of them said too seriously, in any year.

You aren't an official representative of this site Steve. Please stop acting as if you are.
Amen. And if you are.....cite your sources please and try and stay on topic.

Because "Raging Smartass Bitch" was too long.

Because I like the sound of it.
Five stitches in my mouth and you still make jokes. Shame on you.
I do enjoy the ride in the ambulance though.
