SunChild Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 ^^^ Yeah, their idea of a riff and mine are two different things, it seems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mstork Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 That looks like it's reprinted from Rolling Stone's issue with Jimmy on the cover a couple of months ago because 1) David Fricke is involved and 2) I remember being shocked at Springsteen's Born to Run at #9!...

Probably because they interviewed the same persons, or almost the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suz Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 Shit, Zeppelin could own a list by themselves. What about The Ocean or Over the Hills, Black Dog, Custard Pie, Immigrant Song, Communication Breakdown....for crap's sake, have one list for them and another for everybody else.
