I know most RP listeners like Zeppelin, but a little bit of Zeppelin goes a long way and RP plays more than a little bit of Zeppelin.  I've now gotten to the point of muting my speakers when Zeppelin comes on.  

Pantera does a good job with this too :) Again, not what you'd expect.

The guy on the left looks just like Nick Cave!

Rac(c)oons are crazy, too.

Bill's been on a Neko Case binge lately. ;)

do any of you get tired of questions so irrelevant of the music as this???

What is it with women needing to remember to breathe?

I've been stuck on 8 for a while now, but every time I hear this my mouse finger starts hovering over the 9. Just a matter of time til I cave.

geez.
why do reggae songs get such low ratings on rp?

now there's a blast from the past..

Sigh. Smooth out your panties, folks. Let's recap, shall we? My original comment: "History depends on which side wins and who lives to tell the tale" was pointing out the fact that in any conflict, especially one that happened long ago, history is written by the winners. Since the Hebrews' version of history has survived for millennia, while the Phoenician culture is long gone, the Hebrews won that particular propaganda battle (not unlike the Tudor historian Holinshed, who depicted Richard III as an evil crookback and usurper. The good people of York would have strongly disagreed, but hey, the losers were out of power or long dead or both and nobody cared what they thought). My comment raised the ire of Ploafmonster (sorry, can't buy that he's a master of anything, not even ploaf), who snarked: "Yes, I'm sure we'd all agree that the Jews were the winners of history."

That was his comment, not mine. My answer: "The Jews' version of history spawned three important religions. I guess they won after all" was in response to his snarkasm. Perhaps if I had said "The Hebrews' version of history..." it would have been taken as a clearly historical reference and not as an anti-Semitic comment. I do think, however, that both you and Ploafie are looking at a glass half empty. Sure, the Jews have been persecuted throughout history, but still they've been able to have an enormous influence on our world. The Old Testament and the Ten Commandments are accepted as the Word of God by millions of people. Many of the greatest minds in the history of the world have been Jewish. Their contributions to medicine, science, arts and entertainment, literature, philanthropy and civil rights, not to mention religion, have been incalculable. Contrast this with another long persecuted group, the Romany, who have given us Django Reinhardt and fortune telling and not much else. Their standing in the world is on the sidelines, at best. They got bupkis. That the Jewish people are still able to serve humanity despite being hounded and persecuted for centuries is amazing and inspirational. BTW, have you heard about that new Phoenician deli on 5th Avenue? Me neither. Now luze mer up.

If I had the extra scratch I'd be joining you

Usually I seem to agree pretty much with the consensus rating for songs on RP, with a few exceptions. The one guy that I just totally can't understand why everyone likes him is Peter Gabriel. I see his name and it's almost a guarenteed 1. The thing is is that I don't think I know anyone who does enjoy his music, let alone would give it a 10. I just don't know what kind of person does give Gabriel a 10. Apparently there were 75 people who did for this song. I just would like to know who this appeals to.

I want to shoot the idiot beating on the tom-tom.

It is perhaps a good thing that I'm married. Because otherwise I might really develop an infatuation with Imogen. Her voice is an incredible aphrodisiac.

Thank you *so* much tony0600 you really said the truth! I can't stand Queen I never could and I can't understand or believe that they are still popular especially with some young people! I guess compaired to a lot of the present new music garbage out there today,they think this cr*p is good! On Acclaimed Music.net which compiles many music reviews from many different rock critics from decades,Queen is # 113 but The Beatles are rightfully at # 1!

I hear Cibo Matto in this. I'm diggin it

It has been a full month since this song was played. C'mon Bill... up its rotation!

If you don't already know why this is a ten, nobody will ever be able to explain it to you.

What a climax this is after fourplay.
/me closes eyes and enjoys.

Just the percentage of the Earth's population who deeply, truly, passionately cares about music. The chorus is only the cherry on top of this dung sundae. No shortage of things to despise about this weak, lazy, overproduced effort at a pop hit by a (by this time) flatulent, drug-addled band in name only. Best buried, and buried deep.

I'm listening w/ headphones, and I notice the sound going back and forth from L to R very quickly; is that the way the song is, or is it some weird compression artifact?

OK, now I don't hear it so much, oh wait, now I do...

Were some instruments recorded through a Leslie speaker?

What the hell is going on???

Is the sound quality supposed to be this bad on this song?

That's right! But with some Beckish influence, maybe?

This song saved my life. March 28, 1998.

So which subject has been mentioned in more songs--Vaseline or Superman? Just curious....

Open C at its finest.

Untouchable 10

who rated this a 1??

the beebeebeetowikito is killing me

I thought he was saying:

"You don't know you're bald"

oh well...

Dude, that is so me on that gurney!!!!

Well there was a time when you let me know
What's really going on below
But now you never show that to me do you

That really gets me.

coulda bin an interesting song

Wow. The transition from Beck's "Dark Star" to this was nothing short of phenomenal.

This would be 3x better if they didn't sing.

I will donate $50 to never again heard Big Head Todd on RP.
