Music is very important to most cultures, so go have a hamburger.

Dan does Dan very well. Led does Led.

Its a matter of good creative choice. Like a great chef.

in the early days of zeppelin, jimmy page and robert were in total control of the band, and the music was quite strong and simple......in later years, when robert was struggling with various personal tragedies, and jimmy was hooked on smack, john paul jones took charge of the arangements....they became much more complex and diverse. i like both, but prefer the early days.

I will have a lumburger.

I typically prefer the early days of Zep, as well as just about anybody else. Although Physical Graffiti is one of my desert album albums.

Hey look, it's lumbergjim.

When you talk about music, it's important to scratch your arse because someone could be looking.

(I know what can distract both of you! give you both a new target!)

So whadd'y'all think of Post-Rock?

There's nothing worse than a guy with blazing chops, who has no subtlety, and cranks out impossible patterns at 90mph, with no regard for musical expression.

Like that dude from Blues Traveler that just wanks and wanks?

Oh, wait, yes there is, it's the guy with no chops, who drones on about his self-centered feelings in one song after another that sounds exactly the same.

Gonna get in trouble here....ya mean like the Grateful Dead?

How about Kenny G...whose musical stylings consist of playing the scales. :greenface

YOU'RE IN BIG TROUBLE HERE, MISSY!

another great non-sequitur

Quote:

I'm alternating between heavy and light
Between meaning and nonsense
And having a drink

I have counted all the lines on the road
Between here and Los Angeles
That pass straight below

And I'm dreaming of a light, and it comes from your head
'Cause you move just like you're a train
Not like a car, no, no, it would never be the same
And the light from your eyes is like the light from a cake

I was thinking of a cake
To lift off this burden
To lighten this weight

Wind, sweet little cake dervishes
From the head of a pin
We are sleeping like angels
And living like devils again

And I am waiting for the heaviness in the air to break
And reveal some small, irrelevant truth
'Cause we move like we are suspended in amber
And the light from your eyes spills from the moon

Sometimes the decision not to answer is all the answer you need.

But seriously, give us an example of what "post-rock" is since most labels are completely worthless.

Post Punk is better?

Oh wait, isn't post rock and post punk the same damned thing as "rock" and "punk"? Except it's cool enough to listen to because it has a new snazzy genre title attached that is completely unneccessary?

Post-rock is a music genre characterized by the use of musical instruments commonly associated with rock music, but utilizing rhythms, harmonies, melodies, timbre, and chord progressions that are not found in rock tradition. Simply put, it is the use of 'rock instrumentation' for non-rock purposes. Practitioners of the genre's style typically produce instrumental music.[1][2][3]

As with many musical genres, the term is arguably inadequate as a concise descriptor: for example, Don Caballero and Mogwai were among the more prominent bands of the 1990s described as post rock, but the two bands' music has very little in common besides the fact that they are both largely instrumental. As such, the term has been the subject of backlash from listeners and artists alike.[4]

Although firmly rooted in the indie scene of the 1980s and '90s, post-rock's style bears little resemblance musically to that of indie rock.[3][2]

IT's Rock mmmmkay? Non-traditional rock is still rock. K kiddies? There is no post about it....
