I don't think I even need to say anything at all, do I?

The QUESTION SHOULD BE--if you were a musician would you rather be in the CLASH or Led Zeppelin.....The answer is not so simple.
If you were in Led Zeppelin (and if you were Robert Plant) you would get to show your balls to the world through your trousers and make tons of money. (I would fail miserably at that--"you want me to wear this?") Drummer is the most talented man who plays the drums on the face of the planet. True fucking talent. You know what you are getting--over the top rock and roll ripped off by ancient bluesmen. They kicked ass. If you want me to be pretentious about it I cant.
If you were in the Clash you get to act like you know whats going on in politics (SANDINISTA! on EPIC RECORDS! Fuck you!) sign to a major label anyway (to try and get the "message" across--and THEN you get produced by the same dude who produced the BLUE OYSTER CULT) , not make as much money as Zeppelin, but be called "the only band that matters" by some overpaid fuckhead (that I am jealous of I want his job!) that people quote cos its easy. BUT-they had the raw power--they were talented too. I personally love the Clash. It doesnt mstter what the ideals are really.
two different generational time zones and MAYBE two different types of music.
Both Zeppelin and the Clash deserve the respect they are due. If you hate Led Zeppelin I dare you to throw on Led Zeppelin II and not find some talent. If you hate the Clash--shit--any of their albums will do. I recommend give em enough rope.
This post really went nowhere. I cannot believe I just tried to justify my liking of Led Zeppelin.

Neither band is as great as advertised. If I were to go on where the particular band's releases rank on some kind of rock canon, then I think the edge would definitely go to Led Zeppelin. Forget the fact that it all sounds wanky nowadays: Led Zeppelin 1, 2, 3, 4, Houses Of The Holy, and Physical Graffiti are all classic rock staples. It's undeniable.
The Clash, on the other hand, have three great albums: their s/t, Give'em Enough Rope, and London Calling, the last one often picked by many as one of the best rock albums ever. Still, let's face it: unless you absolutely LOVE everything Clash, Sandinista! and Cut the Crap are passable, and Combat Rock is good but not great. I realize that anyone could subjectively say the same thing about a few Zeppelin albums, but I would venture to say that I could find more people to agree with me than disagree.
Which is not to say that I like Led Zeppelin better than the Clash. Not at all. I can't remember wanting to listen to anything Led Zeppelin (other than Led Zeppelin 2) in years. On the flip side, I'm staring at London Calling right now, and I listen to the first three Clash albums on a more regular basis (but not all the time. It IS 2006). So yeah, I like the Clash better. But I wouldn't fault anyone for thinking differently.

The QUESTION SHOULD BE--if you were a musician would you rather be in the CLASH or Led Zeppelin.....The answer is not so simple. This is obviously because I'm not a musician and could care less about cred as such, but I'd much rather be in Led Zeppelin. I'd be hung like a horse and have ridiculous technical proficiency in whatever instrument I played. I'd put animals in women's vaginas. I'd be rich beyond my wildest dreams. I'd write lyrics about orcs and dragons. I'd play with P Diddy on the MTV Music Awards. The only drawback would be that I'd have to play shitty music for a couple hours a night. But then I'd just go back to my room, put on London Calling, and show my giant wang to groupies. |

Dudes, as much as I love my Bonham and as important as Led Zeppelin was to me in my formative years, Joe Strummer was much more important to me in High School. Also, I would have been the drummer for the Clash so I would have been able to bag chicks that look like Siouxsie Sioux..........dear god how I love dirty punk rock/art school girl pink parts.

Rocky and tunes. Where the hell are they. They need to fucking vote in this. I moved yesterday. Just got my internet hooked up this morning. But my vote is recorded now. Guess who I voted for?!?! Anyway, Melon (Melaun?), you must have known what was going to happen when you started this. I'm just sayin'. |
