David Gilmour is forever identified as a Strat guy but he has played some of his best solos since the late 70's on a goldtop Les Paul.

Journey is from San Francisco originally.

Now the DJ is basically obsolete, classic rock and the other formats are almost being treated like the basic food groups. Which around here is alarmingly also including conservative talk and Jesus.

Bought that when it came out, and still have it. I'd love it if Jimmy did an upgrade for Blu-ray and put in some missing performances.

I feel you there as far as the mean stoners. They seemed to either clean up and do well or stay the same.

Oh I love Opeth and would cite them as an exception. They certainly ran the gamut, as they used to be a death metal band. Their new album is being described very grand and expansive, but still with some heaviness.

My dad in the 70's, as far as I can tell, was major into Bob Seger (from "Ramblin' Gamblin' Man" on) The Moody Blues, Chicago, The Marshall Tucker Band, Neil Diamond, and Waylon Jennings.

I was that guy, but not with Zeppelin. For several years I was a Floyd nut, still am to a degree but when I was 13 I can see how others would view it as unbearable.

The one somewhat reliable classic rock station in my hometown has just been bought out after being independent since it's beginning. Moving to a stronger signal, but I can tell it's going to just be another by-the-numbers station.

Something that heavy metal has mostly lacked since then.

I get where you're coming from to a degree. I got into relatively more obscure stuff from the 60's and 70's. No offense but musically speaking my parents are way cooler than yours, but even they wouldn't know a King Crimson or Camel song if it came on.

Zeppelin were not the best at being keepers of the flame when it came to blues, like Clapton and Peter Green (the Stones to a degree too). I can see how some of the early stuff was essentially a parody without trying to be, but I still enjoy it.

He's done well to stay out of the spotlight for awhile now.

I bought the new editions of II and III today. I'm not a big audiophile but the stuff sounds so fresh compared to the '94 remasters. And I dug the outtakes too.

I love "Carouselambra". "Hot Dog" is the one I'm not too crazy about.

That is awesome.

You have a better chance of hearing Beatles on oldies, but even that's kind of fading because those stations are moving into 70's and 80's now. Wings and "Imagine" probably get more play.

On a lesser show at some point there would be some monologue by Vic about he watched his mother be abused by his father or something, but here everything is almost always centered on the here and now. The show used no flashbacks at all ("Co-Pilot" withstanding), but the past was not ignored too much either. This is…

The episode where they babysit the basketball player is almost sitcom-ish, but it manages to have some deeper currents as well like acknowledging Shane's racism.

Hear hear, though a lot of it for me was her American voice.
