It's not blasphemous bro you like what you like. I listen to 40s vocal jazz a lot and people always comment on how boring it is. It may be but it sure had a lot of talented musicians and vocalist.

For me and my vote is for RUSH. I know it's a long song but it's amazing story if people are patient enough to listen

Here's my issue with that Rush song, and I like Rush a lot... It's sounds too Rush. It's like Rush got together and said "Let's make a song that takes all the distinct elements of our unique sound from each song we ever made.

Not a fan of the Dead either, but I vote dead...

(What did the Dead Head say when the drugs ran out? "Boy, this music sucks!")

 

[Yankee Traveler]

I too do not care for either band but I'd vote the BeeGees before I voted Grateful Dead. Rush

I couldn't resist.


I never had a voice...but oh to have my hair back again..

That song by Rush is what Rush was before getting commercialized and another reason I like it alot. The Album Caress of Steele was thought to be a career killer but it really was a huge part of the Rush followers. They always had great lyrics but to me again the story if this song is amazing, a lot of people don't have to patience for it. And yeah I wanted to see how far I could push people

In my defense, There was very little I liked during the disco era. That's when I "heard" them.....

Rest assure, I'm pleased with this thread. My comments are of a critiquing nature and totally my (often ignorant) perception.

Me too but we still Seger, The Eagles, CCR, Zep, Stones etc

This song may evoke a bit of laughter but it's culturally significant. It represents a time and place as well as any song ever.

I did not like the Dead at first but told myself I am going to keep listening because I just feel I am missing something, I loved the song Touch of Grey but knew there had to more. So I forced myself to listen for one year. Now I love songs like Ripple Sugar Magnola, Terrapin Station, Box of Rain and many more. They grow on you if you are open to the effort

The Dead had plenty of fine songs. So did Hooty and the Blowfish.

Really Hooty had more than one?!!?

I saw the Dead, or rather Dead and Company, some years back, with my daughter. She had recently graduated from college, and I'm 43 years older than her. It was the only time we ever did weed together. Great show.

Did she Twirl with the Twirlers?

The eagles and stones went disco. CCR broke up. Segar stayed in the tittie-bars and biker-bars.

2. Led Zeppelin: Trampled UnderfootLed Zep were so rock-and-roll it was all but unthinkable that disco could sneak in, but it did. In this cut from Physical Graffiti (1975), they sound as if they were glomming on to the hard-edged contemporary funk of Ohio Players et al. But with drummer John Bonham stomping out a vicious two-step rather than hitting the one, while Jimmy Page slashed at everything in sight with flick-knife guitar, they strutted into disco’s nascent territory. If Harrison’s song had been a premonition of disco to come, Zeppelin’s arrived just as disco hit the mainstream.​

Their album Cracked Rear View Mirror was loaded and knocked Michael Jackson off the top of the charts after only a couple weeks at the top, unheard of for the King of Pop. To me they sounded like a really good bar band, the same impression I have of the Dead.

Here is a bonus song I ran across really powerful song, don't feel like putting it up against any other song it's to personal. But I think it's worth a listen and a share at least once.

It also represents my hair from then.

OK.
Todays vote goes to James Blunt.

Now, back to Trampled Under Foot.
