chrisMainz Posted November 7, 2010 Share Posted November 7, 2010 I still say that for many people, compilations of a band's music serve them well enough to not delve into their catalog further. Of the bands I like enough, I get many if not all their albums, but that's not to speak for everyone. It's not pointless to get a collection of songs and stop at that. As was pointed out about the Rolling Stones, their music over the last 20 years or so is bland and as much as I like them, I won't get all of their albums. If someone has only "Hot Rocks", I'm not going to diss them and say how they're so underexposed if that's all they want. Same with Led Zeppelin. If a person is satisfied with Mothership, so be it. A fan doesn't have to or feel compelled to gather every song a band puts out. My main point was asking the poster I addressed if they have any compilations of a band and if that'd be good enough for them? Maybe a Miles Davis collection and not everyone of his 100+ albums!!! Or Petula Clark or Paul Revere and the Raiders or The Searchers or Englebert Humperdinck for that matter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jahfin Posted November 7, 2010 Share Posted November 7, 2010 Greatest hits comps are a necessary evil. Since obtaining an iPod I've found myself picking up my fair share of greatest hits collections (on CD) just for a song or two. That leaves a lot more to discover but that doesn't necessarily mean I'm going to do so. Maybe I already have some of their music on vinyl, or maybe I've heard enough of their other material to determine whether I want to seek out their back catalog or not. In the case of Mothership, in addition to already having the Zep collection on vinyl, I also picked up the two box sets when they came out so that pretty much has me covered as far as their studio albums. There's been no real need to buy any of the greatest hits collections. As has been previously mentioned, if a new fan were to be bitten by the Zeppelin bug, it wouldn't take too long to catch up on their studio records. One thing that does concern me is, the recordings I have aren't sequenced as "albums" so the seques from the original records aren't the same. Well, I guess they are the same but they're faded out, whereas the original recordings were seamless from one song to the next such as Black Mountain Side into Communication Breakdown from the first album.

Pity they didn't just remaster teh whole lot in one hit, but I guess it might have been expensive to buy. Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or Petula Clark or Paul Revere and the Raiders or The Searchers or Englebert Humperdinck for that matter. Do you expect me to agree with every little thing you say? I am sorry but I do not! Our opinions differ and to me, there is nothing wrong with that you know? The only band which I can think of whose greatest hits compliation album even remotely summarises their entire catalogue is "The Jimi Hendrix Experience". Go figure, because that band has made just 3 albums together! But that my friend, didn't necessarily stop me there. I went on to purchase "Axis : Bold As Love", "Are You Experienced?" and "Electric Ladyland". And you have absolutely no idea how proud I am of those purchases and quite frankly, I would not have settled for anything less! But in all fairness, looking at it from your perspective, there is one compliation CD which pretty much does it for me and that's the one by Elvis Presely (the one with 30 songs in it). My mom loves his music and recommended his music to me. Sure, one or two songs like "Hound Dog", "Jailhouse Rock" and "Suspicious Minds" caught my attention but that was that! If I want to listen to Elvis, occassionally, I just listen to this greatest hits CD and that's it! I forget about it for the rest of the time!

Kiwi_Zep_Fan87 Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 (edited) Hound Dog, Jailhouse Rock and Suspicious Minds!! Is that ALL?"Sounds pretty ridiculous to me" LOL! Yeah! That's pretty much it! Besides, it will be quite boring if both of us agreed on every single little thing and had the same music tastes, wouldn't it? We wouldn't be getting on each others nerves and having such lovely arguments, would we now? It's like this. Since you are indeed satisfied with the 40 Licks compilation CD by the Stones or so it seems reading from your posts, I am satisfied with the 30 Hits compilation as far as Elvis is concerned! Get the picture mate? And FYI, this is my last post for this topic because I am getting pretty tired of replying to you and looks like you'll be satisfied if and only if I happen to agree with your "brilliant" and "insightful" take on things! Sounds pretty stubborn to me! You call me ridiculous and silly? I call you stubborn! See ya mate!

Electrophile Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 To get the thread back on track and answer the OP's question, there isn't much I'd change about Mothership. I might add Tea For One to Disc 2, because I think it's sorely underrated but that might be it. I have Mothership and I like it, and don't really feel like I need to buy more stuff to supplement it. I have the vinyl albums of theirs I want, I have two greatest hits albums, I have two live albums......I'm more than satisfied with that.

danelectro Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 Can't say I have a problem with Mothership or any career spanning compilations, including Greatest Hits packages. It isn't realisitic to think any band can accurately cover their entire catalog with one album of songs no matter how thoughfully laid out. Nor is it realistic to think anyone but the most hardcore fans will bypass these collections in favor of buying an artist's entire catalog. That said despite owning all the studio albums of bands like LZ I still buy comps because having an expanded collection of a bands music is good for the car for a guy like me, not into the ipod yet and I don't burn mix cd's etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnlennon696 Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 Here is the tracklist for any reference: Disc 1 Good Times Bad Times Communication Breakdown Dazed and Confused Babe I'm Gonna Leave You Whole Lotta Love Ramble On Heartbreaker Immigrant Song Since I've Been Loving You Rock and Roll Black Dog When The Levee Breaks Stairway To Heaven Disc 2 Song Remains The Same Over The Hills And Far Away D'Yer Maker No Quarter Trampled Under Foot Houses Of The Holy Kashmir Nobody's Fault But Mine Achilles Last Stand In The Evening All My Love ================================================ No idea how D'Yer Maker made it on tbh, i actually like the song but not sure it should be featured here, tracks that i think should have been replaced are: D'Yer Maker - The Rover Houses Of The Holy - In My Time Of Dying (i really love the album version as well as live) Would have like to see Going To California added too, maybe also Ten Years Gone Maybe a couple of live versions but there are the other CD's for that i suppose.

Electrophile Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 (edited) Ten Years Gone is really the most glaring omission, at least to me. I'd take out D'yer Maker (really poor song IMO) and put in Ten Years Gone and Tea For One. Disc 2 needs some more weight.

dalsh327 Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 I like it the way it is. If I feel compelled to listen to anything on the original albums that's not on there, I'll put that on instead. When people make homemade mixes, they'll throw a mix of studio and live together.

I'd take out D'yer Maker (really poor song IMO) and put in Ten Years Gone and Tea For One. Disc 2 needs some more weight. I agree that Ten Years Gone is a glaring omission. However, I think Tea For One is a weakish attempt to relive Since I've Been Loving You. D'yer Mak'er is a far more interesting, original and eclectic song than Tea For One and deserves to be there moreso than just a rehash of the far far superior SIBLY, which is already on Mothership. There is already SIBLY on disc 1 so why include an inferior copy of it on disc 2? Better to go with something totally different, which is a good song in it's own right as well.

Electrophile Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 Tea For One is not to me, an attempt to re-hash SIBLY. It's more like a sequel or a continuation of that song's storyline. That is different than a re-hash. A re-hash would be scrapping the first song and doing it over again, which I don't think they did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexa Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 I got Mothership for Christmas a year or two ago from my parents, which was essentially my first introduction to them, save the random occasions when my dad would play something like Kashmir or Stairway when he found them on the radio. As much as I absolutely love all the songs on there, I would have definitely added "The Ocean", "What Is And What Should Never Be", and possibly "The Rain Song". Also I don't think I would have minded "In My Time Of Dying", "Tangerine", "Ten Years Gone", and/or "Fool In the Rain" either, or at least another song off of "In Through The Out Door" ("I'm Gonna Crawl", maybe?). Of course, all of Led Zeppelin's songs are fantastic and amazing, and a compilation of all of their great ones is their entire discography! Anyway, for those young ones like myself who are being raised in the era of absolute and complete crap (pop and rap, I mean), Mothership is definitely a great album to introduce us to the good music of the world; the music without auto-tune and/or monotonous, computerized drumbeats. I may only be a teen, but I have a fairly decent grasp on what is and isn't good music. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Electrophile Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 There's a lot of great music out there right now in the pop and rap genres that are relatively unknown because they don't get overplayed or played at all on the radio. Don't dismiss everything made today just because you don't like the crap on the radio. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
