Ray La Montagne... I love that guys music, what a song writer, what a singer. I'll post a youtube video so the guys who don't know about him can also see what the fuss is about worldwide. ?

I have an appreciation for the music, but most of the "wow" stuff for me is due to Quincy Jones' production and a brace of really top flight engineers rather than MJ himself.

I've given Houses Of The Holy (the album, not the song) a couple of spins. It shows some different sides of Led Zep, especially the funk and reggae(ish) stuff, and it's reminded me of what a fine band Led Zeppelin were. They had much broader influences and thus a broader palette than many of their contemporaries. Especially Jimmy Page who loved a lot of things he heard in the early 60s British folk revolution (he is heavily influenced by Bert Jansch and Davey Graham) and also did several years of studio work playing in a wide range of styles. Plus, I think, he was the key to the Led Zeppelin sound - telling the engineers how he wanted things miked up etc etc and getting that huge sound that they got on record.
Rain Song is a real highlight. Page uses an alternate tuning on that (DADGAD?) and you could get broadly equivalent chords with other tunings, but with the tuning he uses the strings ring so marvellously.
Also love the sound of the Mellotron. Modern keyboards don't sound quite the same.

Page did the production and much of the engineering for the Zeppelin albums. He's quite the master of subtle guitar layering.
I love Rain Song! It's Gsus4 (D-G-C-G-C-D) in the recorded version, although they used Asus4 (E-A-D-A-D-E) live - I think he had problems tuning the acoustic in the studio to Asus4 (the second string was breaking), so they tuned down for the studio version. Also Asus4 you only need to retune two strings as opposed to five for Gsus4, so that could have been part of why they played it in A live.

My favourite is still "Physical Graffiti"
That has "Houses of the Holy", "the rover", just too many to mention
The best rock band ever

ACDC Live hey hey hey, first time heard this and man it's blown me away...Young brothers are unbelievable, love Angus, so versatile, never boring, use of different styles. I listen carefully and hear some ZZ Top, Eddie van Halen and Billy Duffy (The Cult) coming through from time to time coupled with that old signature play of his, he is one of my favourite guitarists ever. Neal Schon I salute you, Journey are just AWESOME and I will never tire of them. Anyone checked out the flamenco play of Steve Stevens for his solo act in Hamburg I think last year, the guy is truly gifted...here's my toast to rock 's Roll! ?

I've spent the last week during work listening to Tubular Bells (I & II) on a constant loop ... all day every day.
Does amazing things for my thinking ability and sense of peace.
Music is powerful stuff.
(can't listen to anything with singing because my mind starts listening to the words ?)
