I don't buy a lot of albums anymore... (does anybody?) but I have Alabama Shakes. Brittney Howard is a real force of nature.
Here's a real stereotype breaker to fall in love with ---> Joss can tear it up.
I take this little girl in small doses, but this is an absolutely murderous performance.
Nothing wrong with the Queen of Soul back in the day.

For those of you who may be watching The Orville TV show, did they make a Wu Tang Clan reference during the latest episode as a dispenser of wisdom? I assumed so, but since I've never actually heard a Wu Tang Clan song, I can't be sure.

You might have heard one or two, but didn't know it. Gravel Pit made the rounds in clubs when it was out.
A buddy saw them not too long ago, and he said half of them looked bored, like they didn't want to be doing this at this stage of the game, they wanted to branch out like RZA did (he is acting and directing now).
That being said, RIP ODB. Wu Tang is just not the same without him.

Re: USCHO Music Thread 4: Songs She Sang to Me, Songs She Brang to Me
A grave injustice has been perpetuated upon the world of music for many years now.
I have never seen any member of Led Zeppelin in concert and I consider them one of my all time favorites.
Just scored 2 tix for Robert Plant in Chicago at the Riviera in February
Chance to fix a glaring hole in my concert going experience.
Should have done Page and Plant in 96 but was broke for a couple years in there and figured I'd catch them down the line and just have never made Plant's tours a priority even though I collect the shows and like them.
Can't really think of any of the classics that I haven't seen that I need to. Not interested in the Stones or The Who (like em both but not favs anyway) and have seen the rest including any 80s bands.
Plant was a definite one though and I've always asked myself...
Why? WHY!?!?!

My only problem with Plant is that he didn't take care of his voice and instead smoked and drank (various things on both accounts) as he pleased, as is the case for almost all rockers over the age of 40. He can't hit the notes he used to, and from what I've heard on his latest albums, he just isn't all that impressive at this point.
Page, however, can still play guitar like he did in the 70s. That's not very surprising, I suppose. Regardless, I'd love to see Page live, regardless of the band he joins for the event.

Couldn't disagree more except on the range - it's not what it once was, but why would it need to be? I don't want to see him doing the young Plant wailing away when he's in his 70s.
I think Robert has had a great 10-15 years here towards the end of his career including his work with Alison Krauss, The Band of Joy and now the Sensational Space Shifters.
Dreamland and Mighty ReArranger are really good albums too, going back to 2002.
Sure... 85 through the early 90s had some regrettable stuff, but I had some regrettable stuff in the 80s too - weird decade for sure.
Anyway, I've listened to a lot of recent shows (last 8 years) and I certainly wouldn't be bothering if they weren't worth the trip to Chicago in February.

Of course that is just my opinion and all are entitled to their own blah, blah, blah...
But along those lines and since I'm so wretchedly bored at work right now...
Jimmy Page has never been amongst my favorite lead guitarists. I like him and I believe he is the perfect fit within the context of Led Zeppelin, but he may not even be in my top 10... certainly not in my top 5.
Dunno why.
Zeppelin is the only all time favorite band (there are 5) that doesn't include one of my guitar heroes.
In no order, favorite rock (not blues or jazz) guitar players...
Top Pantheon:
Jerry Garcia
David Gilmour
Trey Anastasio
Steve Howe
The Edge
That's really it and then there are a bunch of guys that I like, but aren't up there... Johnny Marr, Warren Haynes, Jimmy Page, George Lynch, Eddie Van Halen... etc

In terms of musicianship, Zep is great the way the Stones, the Who, Pink Floyd, The Beach Boys, or for that matter the Beatles are great -- nobody* is on the cosmic all-star team by themselves, but it all fits together.
(It's true of vocalists as well with another exception*.)
Of course, they all have terrific song writing and lyricists, so maybe there's the difference in what makes the greatest bands great.
* Exception: The Ox; exception two: Mick

Wait... you think Mick is a great vocalist?
No disagreement on Ent, but I believe that Gilmour is up there and stands just fine on his own.
Mick? No way.
My favorite Bass player is maybe Chris Squire. Just loved that nasty tone.
RIP

And in terms of "musicianship," all those bands have strengths and weaknesses.
At first glance I'd easily put Floyd ahead of Zep.
Not so fast though.
Gilmour > Page
but
Bonham > Mason
and
John Paul >>> Waters as a musician (playing instruments)
Wright and Plant really don't have counterparts.
So it's probably a wash although I'd still say that Floyd > Zeppelin although for me they're 1A and 1B at this point.
And Steve Howe is a better musician than anyone in either of those bands, or at least was in the 70s.

Well... Mick may be the greatest frontman of all time.
Not sure even Plant can really compete although I'm sure he was sexier in his prime than Mick was.
