I often think about stellar albums. The ones where they’re really isn’t a skip-able track. Off the top of my head, these come to mind: The Beach Boys Pet Sounds, Collective Soul Collective Soul (blue album), Bush 16 Stone, and Green Day Dookie. What are some of your perfect albums?
Curious about your thoughts on the Greta Van Fleet “they’re a Zeppelin ripoff” stuff. I like their music and I’m hoping they are able to shake that reputation a bit. Also, apparently I’ve only listened to From The Fires and Anthem of the Peaceful Army, so apparently I’ve got some catching up to do.
Also, first post on lemmy, lets gooooooooo!
I’ve heard abit about this too. At the time I heard of it I’d actually never listened to a single Zeppelin track, it made me curious (who could come close to the genius of Greta!!??) . I’ve been listening to their albums and there is definitely a resemblance in their music styles.
At this point I can’t really say that Greta “ripped off” of Led Zeppelin since I’m new to their music. But I like it so far, definitely my kind of sound.
Hah! It didn’t even occur to me that someone would not have listened to Zeppelin before. They’re so foundational in classic rock. Incidentally, a lot of people accused Zeppelin of ripping off earlier blues and blues rock acts when they first blew up. To me, all art is just people riffing on what came before, and you’re bound to encounter artists across space and time that have very similar aesthetics to each other. No one owns an aesthetic.
