Er, I'm in NYC's suburbs :D
Do people stare when you wheel your moonshine still down the sidewalk in a brand new straw hat?

No, but I've gotten a couple of dirty looks when introducing my cousin-sister-wife.

If you voted against Led Zeppelin for some white trash abortion you are not welcome here.

I wasn't welcome before voting anyway :p Probably because I'm not one for doing things for the purpose of fitting into a specific group in the first place...

Wow! Another free thinker who has to announce to the world just in case no one noticed. :)

gotta go with Stairway to Heaven. it was my high school class's prom song :)

not a big fan of Freebird... I just don't get what people see in it. StH has some great lyrics and interesting instrumental work.

Stairway to Heaven has reversable quality. "In a little toolshed where he made us suffer, sad Satan!"

Everytime I hear Freebird get nauseous. I do not understand why, I liked the first thousand times I heard it on the radio...

Stairway to Heaven.

One is a rambling road song about a signer; one is practically prophetic.

And if you play Freebird backwards it tells you how to make out with your cousin.

Yeah right, like there's something a fscktard like you could do about it. I bet when Freebird was released the better half of you hadn't even ran down your momma's ass to make a brown stain on the sheets yet.


I like Stairway to Heaven better as Page did a fantastic job in the studio to clean it up and make it sound awesome. However, I've heard live recordings of it and the Guitar solo that makes that song so unique has a lot to be desired (Page is no Clapton or Beck)

On the other hand I've seen Lynard Skynard Play Freebird live (yes before the plane crash) and it sounded as good live as the Studio recording.

Both are great IMO and they are also very different. The only thing that makes them comparable is that they both have Guitar Solos in them.

You want to hear some great Guitar work check out Early Allman Brothers with Duane Allman and Dicky Betts playing dueling lead guitars.
