Also, you should add Bad News to the poll.

Lick My Love Pump is the new Stairway to Heaven

Sex Farm > Whole Lotta Love

"... and they called it .... STONEHENGE!!!!" :laughing:

That song has a lot of simple lines intertwining in D minor and it sounds like a combination of Mozart and Bach, call it a Mach.

I prefer Sex Farm,it's a little more romantic:
Working on a sex farm
Trying to raise some hard love
Getting out my pitch fork
And poking your hay.
Scratching in your henhouse
Sniffing at your feedbag
Slipping out your back door
I'm leaving my spray.

I have a glove that hasn't been washed since I bought it.

Led Zeppelin

"Band Names: Before settling on Spinal Tap, the boys changed the band’s name often. The most resilient turned out to be the Originals, the New Originals and the Thamesmen. During the 18 months after a 1965 tour of the Benelux countries as the Dutchmen, what would be Tap was known as the Rave Breakers, Hellcats, Flamin’ Daemons, Shiners, Mondos, the Doppel Gang, the Peoples, Loose Lips, Waffles, Hot Waffles, Love Bisquits, Bisquits, Silver Service, the Mud Below and the Tufnel-St. Hubbins Group. (IST) Tap also used the names Anthem and the Cadburys in 1976 during a dispute with its recording label, Megaphone." Spinal Tap A to Zed : Band Names

Jimmy Page was in Cyril Davies' All Stars, Alexis Korner's Blues Incorporated, Carter-Lewis and the Southerners, Mike Hurst and the Method, and Mickey Finn and the Blue Men, then the Yardbirds, the New Yardbirds, Led Zeppelin aka Zeppelin, or Led Zep.

Spinal Tap without a doubt had the better band names.

With all this fuss about Led Zeppelin and Spinal Tap, I'm disappointed Oriphiel did not include the greatest band ever.

I'm of course talking about the Rutles

Spinal Tap wins because they didn't plagiarize other bands material.

Zeppelin did it first.

If we're talking first, then

I think you'll find these guys did it first.

Both Page and Phillips were using a bow on recordings in 1967.

Page got turned onto trying a bow during his session days even earlier.

Bit of obscure trivia - the "guy" that turned Page onto the bow was the father of David McCallum, who co-starred along with Robert Vaughn in the mid 60s TV show The Man from UNCLE.

That's a lot of qualifying.

To be fair, using a bow on a stringed instrument really isn't that innovative anyways.

It was in the realm of hard rock!

No wonder people thought he had made a deal with the devil and practiced black magic.

1970 - The way he uses the echoplex and wah pedal is pretty damn cool.

Goes to show that you don't actually have to be innovative to be an innovative rock artist.

Ya, cause bowing a Les Paul through a dimed NMV Marshall stack, while using tape echo and tone modulation, and incorporating bits of Gustav Holst's "Mars -
the Bringer of War", was so unimaginative back in 1969-1970...........

Yep. Might have fit the bill if we were talking 30s.

Yep. Too bad that tape echo units weren't available until the mids 50s, and wah wah pedals and Marshall stacks weren't available until the mid 60s.

Give it up for Jimmy man.

Yep. Back before then, if an artist wanted to boast innovation derived from technology, they had to make that technology themselves instead of waiting for it to hit the market. Spoiled kids like Jimmy Page don't know how good they have it.

I'm sorry is there a reason I should ****ing care about a gimmick like using a violin bow on a guitar? Just sounds like something to impress people who think a violin means classical which means intellectual.

It can sound cool. Stian Westerhus is the best at it afaic.

I agree. You're not a great guitarist until you can play with your teeth and risk electrocution like Jimi Hendrix.

It's not a gimmick if you make unique and COOL sounds with it.

Hell, just ask Frowny. What he does with a knitting needle on a guitar is beyond reproach.

Nah it can have value and still be a gimmick.

The Stonehenge rocks form a shape like the greek letter π. Stonehenge is circular. The circumference of a circle is 2πr.

Coincidence?

Well I'm certain you can listen to it as much of it as you want, and still not have to worry of anyone accusing you of being an intellectual. :rolleyes:
Beside it sounds cool. I think the first to use a bow on a guitar was Eddie Phillips of The Creation.

Catch up Neo. :D
