Curtis Mayfield - Little Child Running Wild (opening the album
Superfly)



Everything is perfect about this. The arrangement is perfect and the
song has a menacing feel to it. The bass is what interests me the
most, but the sax solo in the middle is excellent too. I think this
song might have inspired Pink Floyd's Money.

What about Taxman?

"Minuature" George Martin's Intro for America's "Holiday Album" is
nice. No research here just off the top of me head

Don't know about best ever, though it's a fne tune.

Off the top of my head, Genesis' Dance on a Volcano opened up _A Trick
of the Tail_ very nicely, particularly because it was the first listen
to Collins replacing Gabriel.

There are many examples of a super album opener.

'BLACK DOG' by Led Zeppelin (on Led Zep IV) jumps out at me. Turn it up!

P-Dub: Hey mama, said the way you move, gonna make me sweat, gonna make

All excellent. Led Zeppelin always seemed to have crushing album
openers. Good Times Bad Times, Whole Lotta Love, Immigrant Song, Black
Dog, The Song Remains The Same, Custard Pie are excellent album
openers.

Immigrant Song is a great opener, but the album isn't stellar.

So if you're coupling a great album with a great album... Taxman on
Revolver.

Revolver's the greatest album ever.

Led Zeppelin sucks. They're boring, they're thieves who made some
great music (that they stole) boring. Jimmy Page is a very good
session guitarist. All of the great Yardbirds solos were done by
either Clapton or Beck. Robert Plant's voice is annoying. I suppose if
you're a stoned 14 year old boy that they could be entertaining.

Beatles and Elvis sales are inflated with their singles sales. Get rid
of the singles sales and Zeppelin might have sold more in album sales.
But anyway, what has sales got to do with who is overrated or not.

Led Zeppelin OWNED the 70s for rock. They did what many legendary
British bands did -- raped the black blues, and put their own 'style' on
it. And we all loved it, and ate it up.

LZ wrote great songs, performed them with maximum energy, and sold a
shitload of records. These guys are the richest bastards that ever
rocked and rolled.

The biggest problem with them is that their stuff was highly overplayed
by AM and FM radio stations from the 70s until today. And - like with
many other bands - there's a very limited list of songs that are played
over and over and over and over again. There are many other songs that
do not appear on the radio that are excellent.

They actually are a very talented band.

And I f'n LOVE PRESENCE. Recorded in 6 days. Great f'n guitar. Great
drums. Great everything. Every f'n note.

P-Dub: Nobody's fault but mine.

Led Zeppelin sucks. They're boring, they're thieves who made some
great music (that they stole) boring. Jimmy Page is a very good
session guitarist.  All of the great Yardbirds solos were done by
either Clapton or Beck. Robert Plant's voice is annoying. I suppose if
you're a stoned 14 year old boy that they could be entertaining.- Hide quoted text -
I don't think they're shit, but I do think they're overrated.
Particulary 1 and 2..3 is OK in places..4 is a cracking album as is
HOTH...PG is middling (Kasmir's good)..Prescence is not that great
(save for ALS)..and ITTOD is pretty weak (save for ITE)...
They're OK.
Danny
Led Zeppelin OWNED the 70s for rock. They did what many legendary
British bands did -- raped the black blues, and put their own 'style' on
it. And we all loved it, and ate it up.
LZ wrote great songs, performed them with maximum energy, and sold a
shitload of records. These guys are the richest bastards that ever
rocked and rolled.
The biggest problem with them is that their stuff was highly overplayed
by AM and FM radio stations from the 70s until today. And - like with
many other bands - there's a very limited list of songs that are played
over and over and over and over again. There are many other songs that
do not appear on the radio that are excellent.
They actually are a very talented band.
And I f'n LOVE PRESENCE. Recorded in 6 days. Great f'n guitar. Great
drums. Great everything. Every f'n note.
P-Dub: Nobody's fault but mine.
NFBM is a goody from Prescence I agree..but by and large they weren't
the Beatles.

Well - nobody is as good as the Beatles. That's a given. I say the best
band of all time is the Beatles. Without the Beatles, none of these
other bands would have happened.

But the GREATEST is the Rolling Stones. 49 years at the top!

Led Zep is up there too.

Yeah I said that because this thread had nothing to do with Zeppelin.
It was about Curtis Mayfield - remember Curtis? And some a-hole

Immigrant Song is a great opener, but the album isn't stellar.
You got to be fucking kidding me. Except say Out On the Tiles, Friends
and Hats Off To Roy Harper which are good but not spectacular, every
other song on the albums is on target.
Post by Eric Ramon
So if you're coupling a great album with a great album... Taxman on
Revolver.
Revolver's the greatest album ever.
LOL, no. I think it has several duds.
so do you want to stick with your version that I hijacked the thread?

My comment was on the album Revolver. It had nothing to do with
Zeppelin. I do like the album Revolver but it has several songs I do
not like (Taxman, Love You To, Here There Everywhere, I Want To Tell
You, Tomorrow Never Knows) . You immediately gave a knee-jerk reaction
and slammed Zeppelin. That was uncalled for. I have never slammed the
Beatles. I have consistently maintained but they made good albums but
always had 3-4 duds or more per album.

Presence is my least favorite album of theirs. But it is still good.
They never made a bad album just like The Beatles. The only difference
I find between them and The Beatles and the Beatles recorded way too
many songs in their albums. There is not a single Beatles album in

Led Zeppelin sucks. They're boring, they're thieves who made some
great music (that they stole) boring. Jimmy Page is a very good
session guitarist.  All of the great Yardbirds solos were done by
either Clapton or Beck. Robert Plant's voice is annoying. I suppose if
you're a stoned 14 year old boy that they could be entertaining.- Hide quoted text -
I don't think they're shit, but I do think they're overrated.
Particulary 1 and 2..3 is OK in places..4 is a cracking album as is
HOTH...PG is middling (Kasmir's good)..Prescence is not that great
(save for ALS)..and ITTOD is pretty weak (save for ITE)...

Led Zeppelin OWNED the 70s for rock. They did what many legendary
British bands did -- raped the black blues, and put their own 'style' on
it. And we all loved it, and ate it up.
I appreciate that you like the band. But is very shallow analysis of a
band which dabbled in all sorts of music like Indian music, Latin
music, Reggae, Funk, Country, Folk etc. Many of their best songs are
acoustic.

LZ wrote great songs, performed them with maximum energy, and sold a
shitload of records. These guys are the richest bastards that ever
rocked and rolled.

Wrong. Depends upon which station you listen to. In Houston we have
two rock stations and they seem to play a variety of Zeppelin songs. I
think they have played every Zeppelin song from their first five

Immigrant Song is a great opener, but the album isn't stellar.
You got to be fucking kidding me. Except say Out On the Tiles, Friends
and Hats Off To Roy Harper which are good but not spectacular, every
other song on the albums is on target.

song has a menacing feel to it. The bass is what interests me the
most, but the sax solo in the middle is excellent too. I think this
song might have inspired Pink Floyd's Money.

I think my favorite music from Mayfield's canon would be the extended
coda of Move On Up. Masterful stuff.

Don McLean - American Pie
Yes - Roundabout
Black Sabbath - War Pigs

It further occurs to me that Mayfield's "Move On Up" has something in
common with Sabbath's Wheels of Confusion -- each is an excellent song
of perhaps four minutes' duration, coupled with an instrumental coda
of approximately equal duration that, in my opinion, is even more
musically compelling than the material developed in the (ostensibly)
primary section of the work.
