Me too. I remember Wish You Were Here was Pretty good. Not thinkIng Zep is great is mind boggling.tepista wrote:I like Zep, not Floyd, with the exception of 3ish songs.Heston wrote:I don't get you Septics. You love Zep and Floyd but hate KISS and Van Halen. Weird.
Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.

I agree with this post. And sorry, Scott.tepista wrote:"Gloria" is probably one of the most perfectly written and recorded "garage" style song, so even though I'm not a big fan of his post-Them catalog, he is the winner.

Van Halen (the band, not the guy) is good, Van Morrison is GREAT.

Fuck Van Halen. I don't care for Van Morrison. Van McCoy had two songs. Van Hagar seems like a nice guy but...

Re: Van poll
Of the four, I'd rather listen to Van Halen, but not even to vote and give the impression that I really like them. Hence, van art.

Re: Van poll
This used to be my work van in Brooklyn. No shit. We let them use it for the photo shoot for $200, which paid off the van in full.
After it was used in the MIB book cover, it was painted over by the almighty Neckface, and looked like this:
I used to have to take it out on the Grand Central Expressway to pick up printing supplies in Queens, and it was a goddamn cop magnet.
