Last Album/CD that You Listened To . . . ?

LZIII... ???

Well, if you're not a Zep fan, you probably won't like any of their albums, but I always felt like III was their most diverse album: it's got some hard rockers, but also a few more mellow tracks.

I would say that LZIV is probably the best album for attempting to turn someone on to Zeppelin.

I personally like I, III and Houses of The Holy best even though my all-time least favorite Zeppelin song is D'yer Mak'er.

Interesting! And I approve. TATE's self-titled album is solid.

* Trying to put my finger on it, I think I liked the songs I did because the instrumentals were more front and center and the singer's voice was sorta more accompanying the music rather than leading the charge (if that makes sense). I'm sure this is some sort of classic rock heresy, but I don't like their singer's voice all that much, so yeah.

Yeah, it is kinda sacrilege...LOL. Robert Plant is regarded as having one of the greatest rock-n-roll voices of all time. But you gave it a fair shot, so RESPECT to you THN.

Anyway, if you don't like his LZ sound back in the 70's, you should give the following a try; very good album and his vocals are subdued, plus the harmonies with Allison Krauss are fantastic. I believe this was album of the year 4 or 5 years ago. Some really good songs on here, with a rockabilly/traditional country/bluegrass sound.

The Connells - Fun and Games

Good band, seen them quite a few times years ago. Most of the members went to UNC.

Really? I thought they were NCSU guys.

You should check out the Asgeir album I mentioned above ("In the Silence"). It doesn't have the lo-fi charm of FEFA but there are a lot of other similarities. The first thing that hit me was the extensive use of falsetto. Also, the vocal lead and harmonies are really melodic.

The most dowloaded/listened to song is probably "King and Cross." Cool juxtaposition of rhythms with guitar and keyboards in 3/4 but drums in 4/4. I probably like the title track or "Summer Guest" more, though. Gorgeous arrangements.

New music from a group called Liz Cooper and the Stampede. Album is Window Flowers. I like the sound and she has some pretty good digs in her lyrics; I'm a sucker for a good bitter line.

I don't wanna be the one that you save
I don't wanna be a piece of this game you play
Draggin me around like it's something to do
Draggin me around what the hell are you tryin to prove?

Shinedowns new album Atttention Attention. Not a bad song on it. Saw them in Greenville two weeks ago with Godsmack. Best band I've ever seen ljve.

Paul Simon - Graceland

I know this dates me as a "getting old" dude, but there is such diverse musical diversity on this album, and it just brings back floods of great college memories. Paul Simon is one of the great musical and lyrical geniuses of our lifetime, I believe.

I worked out this morning to Gang Starr's Moment of Truth. Superdope album.
