Re: mx5/led zep 1 review...

Led Zep greatest rock band ever??...Phooey

I was going to say that led Zep One was the only record of theirs I have. It is their best by a mile, and the only heavy rock LP that will ever get through my doors.

..Then on double checking..and for reasons I've never quite figured out, my kids bought me the Led Zeppelin Live DVDs, and then they bought me the two CD "very best of Led Zep"

So i confess to quite liking LZ 2, three i didn't like, and in our group at school we used to do 'Stairway to Heaven' from 4..way back in 1971/2..so its a bloody long time ago...then I couldn't be bothered any more.

Either way, the early stuff was the best music, and has stood the test of time. The latter stuff sounds lazy and over indulgent and a bit dirgy, the way many groups went, and laid the foundations for punk rock to tell then all to p&ss off.

Is the MX5 going the same way...I liked the first and the current incarnations of MX5. The middle one I'm not so sure about, even though its a great little car.

P.S. If you stood an MX5 next to a Lotus Elan (original) it would dwarf it. The original Elan was a flawed Gem, only made perfect when Diana Rigg was driving (sigh).
