which bands would you fight to the death to defend

[lovelessrapture]

anybody dissing Slade or Dinosaur Jr are shortly to be floundering on their arses...

One of my first live bands seen were slade adn i cant really stand you slade haters......

[parsonjack]

as a collective, and for sheer longevity, inspiration, originality, creativism and overall magnificence...Pink Floyd.

as individuals however there are at least 2 surviving members who have in turns shown themselves to be d**kheads of the finest calibre over the years...sorry guys...Final Cut is still a masterpiece though

[The Nal]

Yeah, there is that. But it's just another white blues rock band covering an old delta blues number really isn't it?

[Ed209]

Dave Lombardo is the best drummer in the world today.

[The Nal]

Really? I vote Mike Portnoy or Danny Carey.

Meg White's pretty shit hot as well

[sifi]

Thats "classic rock" in my mind.

And nearly all of Zeppelins stuff was like that, including III which ripped off a lot of folk stuff.

Anyway, love Physical Graffiti. Bonhams drum sound on the album is untouchable.

[The Nal]

I'd vote for Exile pretty much every day. And that's not even considering stuff like Highway 61.

[Ed209]

This man is the best drummer in the world. A total pisstaker. So good it doesnt even need sound!

[sifi]

Bonham didnt play drums on either of those albums...........

[The Nal]

No. But then Bob Dylan didn't write the lyrics on Physical so that makes it more than even
