As always, couldn't resist. I really do need change for the vending machine, too. :rolleyes:

liar, you're off to a strip club.

no one. i mean NO ONE remakes zeppelin songs any better than the original. In this, I believe they are unique.

some are passable....as this version of battle of evermore.....and the 4 non blondes doing Misty Mountain on encomium.

I've heard a few good imitations....but never an adaption that surpasses the original.

I challenge you all to change my mind about this.

ha ha nice angle ... from Illegal Art:

Willie Dixon v. Led Zeppelin

When Shirley Dixon first heard Led Zeppelin's "Whole Lotta Love," she recognized it as a song by her father, famed blues musician Willie Dixon. Although Dixon's song "You Need Love" was popularized by Muddy Waters' cover in 1962, Dixon had never received money from either Waters or Zeppelin. In 1985, he filed suit against Zeppelin, charging copyright infringement. The case was eventually settled out of court in Dixon's favor for a large, undisclosed sum. With a newfound understanding of the music industry, Dixon founded the Blues Heaven Foundation, an organization devoted to helping blues artists recover royalties.
lumberjim huffed and puffed so hard, I almost forgot that Led Zeppelin are the number one rip-off artists of all time.

I really hope Misty Mtn Hop is an original Zep tune. Coz it's one of my faves.

Flint 08-02-2009 12:56 AM
To be fair, the entire history of people making music, throughout all of history, has consisted of people travelling into a new place, hearing a new song, and putting their own spin on it as they travel elsewhere and play it for different people; thus songs evolve and take on different cultural characteristics, etc.

The idea of "ownership" of a piece of music did not come about until recording technology was introduced, and a piece of music (a recording) could be treated like a piece of property.

In this context, what Led Zeppelin did--taking old blues songs and amplifying them, adding a backbeat etc. is a very natural thing in terms of what humans have always done.



However, to say that they performed "the original" of any given song is probably less accurate than with any other modern band I can think of.

Led Zeppelin didn't even think that Led Zeppelin were all that good as a live act.

Flint 08-02-2009 11:31 PM
They were never happy with their live performances. I'm simply telling you how they felt.

As great as they were in the studio, they never felt that they had an equally great live act.

Funny that this should come up again so soon. Notice that's Son House he is accusing of ripping off Zeppelin.

Ignoring the rest of the thread (sorry)

Awwww, Zips, I love the Corinne Bailey Rae!

I sang this to HM in the year I moved in. He remembered how much we connected.
Didn't work out that way, but hey.
Heard it today in our mini-mall and it lifted me.

Trilby 08-03-2009 03:27 PM
wow. that is probably the most beautiful video I've ever seen. thanks for sharing. she is head and shoulders above Macy Gray - (whom I really hate). :)

I just love the fact she's kept the English accent in her singing voice. Like Lily Allen and Kate Nash.

But FTR

So I wouldn't worry too much, Bri, you can't beat Leeds in the '80s :rolleyes:
