Oh, that's not obvious enough Rob. How about the Beatles? Or fucking... fucking Beethoven? Side one, Track one of the Fifth Symphony?




But seriously My Name Is Jonas, Weezer.

:lol: :lol: :lol:

I hadn't thought about that movie in years, but as I was driving home from bowling tonight, I Wanna Be Adored came up in my shuffle, and I got to thinking...


Also, fuck the Beatles.

I love the Beatles but leadoff tracks weren't really their thing. "Taxman" is probably the best one. I don't like "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" much.

Taxman is in that list of Beatles songs I don't hate.

First song on side one of a band's first album is that band's best song ever 78% of the time. Good Times, Bad Times; Radio Free Europe; I Must Be High; I Will Follow, and MANY more...

I wouldn't consider Good Times/Bad Times the best Zeppelin song ever...not even their best track one...Immigrant Song and Achilles' Last Stand are both far better.

"Spider in the Snow" is my favorite track from the album but also doesn't work at the beginning.

Two songs that for all the world should have been openers but weren't: "When the Levee Breaks" on the untitled fourth Zeppelin album and "This Charming Man" on The Smiths. That guitar riff should have been the way the world was introduced to the Smiths.

You couldn't be more wrong. It was all downhill from there.

Not close to their best leadoff, not even 50th percentile of that album. You on stupid pills?

The beauty of music is that we can agree to disagree...but all are better than Rock and Roll...

Yeah, When the Levee Breaks would have been a far better leadoff than what we were given.

"Good Times, Bad Times." From that album alone, you have "Your Time Is Gonna Come," "Dazed and Confused," "Black Mountain Side," "Communication Breakdown," and "How Many More Times." As far as Zeppelin openers go, it's not close to "Immigrant Song," "The Song Remains The Same," or "Achilles Last Stand."

"Immigrant Song" sucks. "Achilles Last Stand" borders on self-parody.

"Good Times, Bad Times" and "Communication Breakdown" are the best songs on that first record.

"Communication Breakdown" is the closest Zeppelin got to punk rock. It's a good one, but I won't stand for trashing "Immigrant Song" or "Achilles Last Stand." I mean, if you think about it, every Led Zeppelin song borders on self-parody! Isn't that the charm of it all?
