Off-topic material from ''Is Bokovoy Losing It?''

[_Enuma Elish]

I'm waitiing for Dude to express his opinion about the Eagles.

I'll take my Creedence any day of the week.

Now we're talking! Have you heard "Creedence Song" from John Fogerty's recent album "Revival"?

[_Enuma Elish]

I think this is a reflection of something you once read in Rolling Stone way back "in the day," and came to believe that it was the kind of attitude "edgy" and "sophisticated" people were supposed to have towards the Eagles.

Of course, I fully allow for honest differences of opinion when it comes to music. Nevertheless, I suspect there is a very damn good reason the music of the Eagles will continue to be heard on radio stations (or their futuristic analog) well into the next millennium and beyond, long after bands like The Heavy have been forgotten forever (along with the music of a lot of other bands and artists I have really loved through the years). That's just the nature of the beast.

Maybe it's just personal preference (I don't read Rolling Stone). I admit it; when I think of good late 70s music I think of "London Calling" and "Rust Never Sleeps," not "The Long Run." I don't know. I just never liked the Eagles.

And yes, I do like The Heavy.

LOVE Neil! He and Dylan are my two favorite artists! The Clash are fantastic as well! Though if I had to listen to only one band for the rest of my days it would without doubt be The Doors.

in real life I like Creedence and I don't like the Eagles -- that's all true -- but my favorite band from the era has to be Led Zepplin. Greatest rock band of all time.

Amen, praise God!

Led Zeppelin is the greatest musical band in the history of this earth.

Dude, have a blow for your nose:

I hear ya.

We really have to meet sometime. We could have a beer or something else more "natural", watch a Coen bros DVD with the wives, listen to Led Zep I or II and talk about the old infnite regress of anthropomorphic Gods and Christs. LOL

(Perhaps more importantly, yes, Led Zeppelin is probably the greatest rock band of all time. My personal tastes lean more towards the Doors, but so far as talent, song writing skills, and influence, you'll get no argument against Zeppelin from me!)

Ok, then, Bokovoy is my music buddy and I'll share my favorite DOORS video clips with him. At least we have the Doors and Zeppelin in common. That's worth something.

I've always liked the Doors (I went through a Doors-obsessive phase at about 15 or so). I think their debut album is my favorite. I discovered X because Ray Manzarek was their producer and played keyboards on their first album, aptly titled "Los Angeles." Those two bands remain my favorite LA bands (and being from LA, I actually got to see X live way back when).

Coincidentally, I was listening to Zeppelin on my way to work this morning.

Music is much more interesting to talk about than religion most days.

If the only two choices in this contest are Led Zeppelin and the Doors, I cast my lot with the Doors. Both had relatively brief runs, and I think are given much credit for what might also have followed as by what they actually produced. As a noise maker, Zeppelin gets the nod (but I prefer the Who in that department). The lyrics of Morrison, and that baritone voice, push the Doors past Zeppelin in my book. Sorry, Paul, with this one I vote with Bokovoy. (I hope that doesn't mean they will sic the missionaries on me thinking there's any hope I'd re-Mo.)

I forgive you Nimrod for not appreciateing Led Zeppelin the god of this world as much as I do.

Jesus H. Christ, this thread got split down here in no where land.
