    Zeppelin by a country mile. Floyd are great in small doses, but I can listen to Zeppelin all day.

    Fantasy '70s rock band:

    Piano/Keys - Rick Wright - Because Great Gig In The Sky is so perfect.

    Drums - John "Bonzo The Beast" Bonham - Moon could play the most brilliant fill, but couldn't repeat it cause he was more an instinct player. Bonham was solid.

    Bass - John "The Ox" Entwistle - Entwistle was the greatest bassist ever. Pete described him as a 'lead guitarist bassist'

    Rhythm Guitar - Pete Townsend - Can do more with simple poer chords than anybody else.

    Lead Guitar - Jimmy Page - Pagey is second only to Hendrix as greatest guitarist. Power, dynamic, versitility (listen to Black Mountainside or the stunning version of White Summer on the Zep DVD - he wasn't all about heaviness), attitude (he pretty much invented the gunslinger guitar hero thing), and great tone. And he had dragons on his trousers!

    Vox - Paul Rodgers - The greatest white blues singer ever, and he did soul as well. Stunning voice when with Free, shame he toned down the truly brilliant aspects of Free for Bad Company, but Shooting Star showed he still had it even if he wasn't using it much.

    Yes, sad isn't it?
    There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.

    “Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it whether it exists or not, diagnosing it incorrectly, and applying the wrong remedy.”

    To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticise.

    "The purpose of a university education for Left / Liberals is to attain all the politically correct attitudes towards minorties, and the financial means to live as far away from them as possible."
