So if VS threads are now against the rules, and we deleted the PF vs KC thread for that reason, then why not this one? Especially since this has a lot more potential to turn into an all out flame war.

Nah, they're not against the rules so long as they are well thought-out and lead to productive discussion.

Anyway, I much prefer the Beatles to Led Zeppelin. Primarily because they're much better melodists, and to me, I feel that's what ultimately matters the most. With that said, it's a pretty nonsensical statement given that melody was not really Led Zep's aim (or the aim of most of the bands in the rock era for that matter).

Eh, that reflects exactly why it's a stupid comparison. Not only do the two bands have next to nothing in common, but they didn't even have the same aims/intent, or belong to the same period (ideologically that is; not chronologically).

I agree about melody, Zep seems like a bunch of noise with no real end.

Yet you just named ITCOTCK as an album that you were/are in love with in another thread.

Yah, besides Moonchild it's a very focused album.

Zep! I like both but they just do more for me. I feel like Im on some adventure when I listen to Led Zeppelin.

I don't really understand how Proggy can list Leaf Hound in his top 10 bands than still run around bashing Led Zeppelin.

Because Leaf Hound is intentionally ****ed up. Zeppelin's not.

Leaf Hound sounds like Led Zeppelin, Comus introduced this forum and even he agrees.

Hating on one of the most historical rock bands ever doesn't make you a badass or make you unique. Why not try and find all the good that they did, cause there is a lot.

I own all their albums. I've listened to each of them several times, and I rank several of their songs among my favorite ever. I don't like them very much on the whole, it has nothing to do with me trying to look cool or whatever. I've listened to them enough to know I don't like them.

You're not even arguing with what I said. I agree that they sound like Led Zeppelin, but they're much druggier and the vocals aren't annoying as hell, like with Zepp.

Spot the contradiction!

Hold on, since when does not liking a band force to hate all their songs? The two songs I really love (When The Levee Breaks and Achilles Last Stand) sound very different from the rest of their work.

Several of their songs implies you like more than one or two as your favorite in which case running around insulting them all the time is pretty hypocritical.

Well, seeing as I think most of their discog is **** I don't see why.

Because you "rank several of their songs among your favorite ever."

And I think most of their songs are crap. And the ones that I like don't sound like most of their songs. So...

I'm like.... A prophet... Man.

Proggy you're just trying to be cool. And you're not making any sense whatsoever. Achilles and Levee sound just like Led Zeppelin. Theres no departure there whatsoever.

He's more attacking me than defending them.

I'm not really attacking you I'm just pointing out how your opinion is a complete contradiction which if you think is attacking you okay I'm just showing you what you said. I think boo boo's right you really are just trying to be cool.

How does When The Levee Break sound like most Led Zep? It's centered around the percussion while most Zeppelin songs are focused on on Plant, Page or just the band as a whole. There's not a song they've made which sounds similar. Achilles Last Stand is unlike anything else they've done in it's structure. It just has a totally different vibe from their typical songs.
@sleepy jack: My opinion isn't a contradiction, I dislike most of their work and like a few songs very much because they don't sound like the rest of their work.

Guess what? Jackhammer is itching to close this sucka.

Probably a good idea for this one.

Go for it.

lol, you just gotta have a whole lotta love for tha Crowquil.

Anyway Ethan, why'dya change yer screen-name! You confused the sh1te out of me.
