You can like Led Z all you want, I can listen to the odd song occassionally only, but what I will not allow is to have them be called rock n roll.

Little Richard is rock n roll. So is Eddie Cochrane and Elvis. Some Stones and early Beatles as well.

Listening to a Jimmy Page guitar solo is not roll n roll. Not ever.

That's just weird, Wes. Beyond Wes.

Based on your definition I don't like rock and roll. So you must be wrong. Because I do :-)

Oh, and the Stones, Beatles, old skool R&B etc. Lost my way for a while in the early 80s with Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin but eventually realised the error of my ways and returned home. No issue with pop, of course, in small doses only.

On the come down from my first ever trip in the 2nd year at uni, a mate put on Echoes and when I heard those synth sounds at the start I said "There's no way music like this can be legal."

Pwoppa music, Floyd. Certainly if you're tripping.

One of my mates who's a Spiral Tribe DJ says the 2nd track on Dark Side of the Moon, On the Run, is the first bit of pure tekno ever written.

I'll give Dark Side of the Moon but the rest of their stuff, post Syd, leaves me cold.

You shouldn't have to take acid to make a record sound good. Anymore than you shpuld waste a good trip listening to that old guff :-)

Give me a tree, a lake, and plenty to smoke and I'm happy :-)

You like the music that was popular when you were young, Peter, happens to everyone.

Some grow out of it and some don't. Personally, I'd call Zeppelin hard rock, but never rock n roll.

I spent my teen years listening to endless guitar solos. Then I grew up and realised I never wanted to hear one again;

Still, you don't have to grow up, Peter :-)

Nobody was listening to Zeppelin when I was young. It was all Bon Jovi and Guns n Roses.

But i was brought up properly:-)

It's all rock and roll. All of it. Some good, some bad.

I'm no fan of endless or pointless guitar solos. But a truly great solo is a thing of beauty. Hotel California, Stairway. Rocket Queen. Even Brothers in Arms.

There was a pan-European C64 hacking scene. When I bought my disk drive 2nd hand, it came with loads of disks with maybe 3 games on each side. And there were letters {like an email} that spelled out the message letter by letter.

The kid I'd bought the disk drive from was getting all these games copied for him and the letters were from the guy sending him the copies. His phone number was there so I gave him a call. I'd never met him but he agreed to let me send him loads of blank discs every few months and he'd copy them full of all the Latest games and cracks and would pay the postage to send them back to me.

When he stopped doing it, he put me in contact with some other guy he knew from the hacking scene and this new guy did exactly the same.

That's why I've always had that free party mentality. It's exactly the same sort of thing.
