Immigrant song tangent

My favorite Led Zeppelin song is "D'yer Mak'er."

I just like it, ok?

Thank you. It’s taken 20 years but you have finally contributed something worthwhile to the board.

Eat a dick and it'll make twice in 20 years.

What I've always pictured as the perfect moving image for the opening of that song is something like this:

Personally I see a big blonde dude with lightning coming out of his eyes butchering evil minions on a bridge having just had his own ass kicked by his big sister.

I see Canadian kids screaming in cages, but I might be mixing my metaphors.

good call! I read that D'yer Mak'er was their attempt to tackle reggae - and this was the result. My favorite is "Over The Hills And Far Away". Okay anything but Stairway To Heaven.

interesting and it ties in to the thread because: Heart's "Barracuda" is very much an homage to Led Zeppelin's "Achilles Last Stand" - skip ahead to about 25 seconds and it's pretty obvious.

I HATE when that happens! When my big sister got out the Hot Wheels track I knew what was coming. Y'all know what I'm talkin' about!

They also doubled as spears when you inserted one of the little connectors in one end.

For closer quarters, there was the slinky whip.

I suspect Jenee has more to do with it than uncle fester.

I love Zeppelin, but after hearing them for four decades I’m starting to get sick of them. Starting.

I do not love them, so you can imagine my chagrin at 59 years old. That said they had their moments, but they weren't all that IMHO.

The whole band is loaded with talent by themselves let alone as a band.

I feel the same way about most classic rock bands and their more popular songs.

Not saying they're bad, but I've heard them all enough to last me the rest of my life

I can go the rest of my life without ever hearing Hotel California, Sweet Home Alabama and Stairway to Heaven ever again.

I could go the rest of my life without hearing pearl cram, nirvana, or alice in chains ever again.

I remember one night with some karen playing Jeremy and I was actually happy when the bartender skipped her song for the rap.

Can we all just agree that Arcee is looking mighty fine?

Kid Rock ruined Sweet Home Alabama forever.

All summer long.

Such a weird song. You're from Northern fucking Michigan and you're cosplaying as a Southerner? It's like being from Aroostook County in Maine and rocking a Confederate flag. Does not compute.

I feel the same way about Metallica and Turn the Page.

Whereas Merlins death made Country Road for me.

exactly! Not saying these bands are bad, but they have many other songs that as good or better than the hits, that many people haven't heard in a while or maybe not at all.
Yes I know it's a music/radio industry and they have to make money and keep listeners, but there can be a happy medium too.

I hate both versions to be honest.

You might actually know this song. It has the lyric

"She had hillbilly eyes that glowed in the dark."

I swear I heard it as a kid in a pool hall.

And they were singing it to you....

Not in those days.
