Mike Doughty seems like a popular singer among many.

This musical baton thing is like a Friendster for web designers.

And there was me thinking that I was the only person in the world who had heard of Mother Love Bone – good call!

At the risk of getting deleted I would have to nominate Pink Floyd’s Dark Side of the Moon as the greatest rock album ever. Zeppelin is no far behind though.

Thanks for the baton, Mike. I’ll get my meme on later today…

Noticed Meyer's mention of Zeppelin, although I was a little sad that he disagreed about their greatness.

As someone who has been spiritually in Seattle for at least ten years now (go Sonics tonight!), but for some strange reason is still living in Brazil I have to say that Mother Love Bone has fans south of the Equator as well.

And Zepellin would be the best band ever if such a thing really existed. It doesn’t. And they’d have to fight R.E.M. for it if it did.

OK, you can delete me now.

wow. you must have known this would start a flame war.

@Rodrigo – R.E.M. is the crusty stuff that John Bohnam used to have to scrape off his thang after a night out. When’s that last time Michael Stipe put a fish in a groupie’s hoo-ha? Case closed.

No, really. I thought I’d be deleted.

R.E.M. is just always on my mind. Someone else could just as easily have mentioned U2, or Radiohead. Or Pink Floyd.

A fish? Really?

"A fish? Really?" Red Snapper, to be exact. The band was in a seaside hotel and were fishing out of their rooms. It's all in the Led Zeppelin biography. If you love Zep, you got to read it. (Editor's Note: Yep, I'm aware of this story. One of the greatest of all time. And you know what? I can see that hotel from my house. The Edgewater.)

Listen to “Whole Lotta Love” and then listen to the song “You Need Loving” by the Small Faces and you’ll hear where Robert Plant stole much of his vocal style (and even some words in this case). The person he ripped off is Steve Marriott (not to mention Wilson Pickett – who sued Led Zepplin for the song). Steve Marriott was the voice behind the Small Faces and Humble Pie and without him, little Percy Plant wouldn’t be the Robert Plant that we all know.

Robert Plant is a hack and Steve Marriott is the greatest rock singer ever!!!!
