    I love Carouselambra and Achilles Last Stand, brilliance all around even though they're very different styles.
    I think Bonham is the most musical drummer in hard rock history. (not that I've heard every drummer)

    ADKOT is melodic power and I wish it would have been a double album.
    I want the 10 albums in the can box set.

      You're saying Aerosmith went downhill with Rocks?

        The former is my all time favorite song where by I almost can't understand a single word being sung. I know, bizarre category. But it's true!

          Ha ha - no shit. I only get about every 7th word in that song, but I still love it.
          My karma just ran over your dogma.

            Hmmm I see, you can't just go putting on In Through The Out Door at teen beer pong parties! Better keep it safe with 4-sticks - or worse - a greatest hits blechhh.

            Still... so sick of hearing Black Dog, Stairway To Heaven, Rock N Roll, Whole lotta love.
            (Either we the public are lazy and just wanna keep hearing the same stuff we've heard before - or there's some cruel sadistic mothers on song selection in Radioland.... even a true blue VH fan like me can tire of hearing Jump, Panama, and the VH regulars on the wireless.)

              Actually I should have said two then out for Aerosmith. I don't care much for Toys In The Attic either. That's when Steven decided screaming out the lyrics was an improvement over singing. Rocks just continued the downhill slide.

                I wouldn't be attending a teen beer pong party in the first place. I'm in my 50's for god sake. About the only time I listen to music at all is in the car. I haven't sat around getting stoned and listening to albums since I was a teenager. I too have gotten tired of hearing the same old same old from Zep, Aerosmith, VH and the other classic rock acts on the radio. I listen to Jack sometimes just to get a variety of music. I didn't even know Scorpians made a recording of Tainted Love before I heard it on Jack. But you gotta put up with disco shit from bands like Kiss sometimes too.
                BTW I don't consider LZIV or whatever that album's called a party album. II maybe but not IV.

                  It might be an age hing but there's no comparison between those songs. Achilles is a hard rock classic that was ripped off almost not for note by Heart for Barracuda. Carouselambra is a keyboard heavy classis example of corporate rock. Hot Dog is the only good thing on that album and it's more of a novelty song than a rocker. But I do dig Plant's Elvis imitation.

                    The FACT that you won't hear any ADKOT on any station unless you get lucky at 3am flippin' 'round like DLR under the sheets...

                    ...here today gone later today.

                        Yeah, give yourself an uppercut sunshine! You crank hot for teacher like it's the first time ya heard it...

                        Adkot 8 months later, a mammoth effort. Just magnificent. A couple of flat spots, but an amazing thing to hold in your hands after 28 years.. A real Van Halen album. The playing and singing is great, the songs are (mostly) great, it's loud.

                        7 pack. It's worthy.

                          They rarely play it. Fuck 'em. Fuck Why Can't This Be Love.
