Least appealing song on "Encomium: A Tribute to Led Zeppelin"

hahah i used to own this record.

and 4 non blondes is probably the biggest atrocity of them all. a painfully annoying rendition of an already annoying song.

that was bad, yes

Though I will say that before I saw that one I was tempted to vote Big Head Todd & The Monsters just because I hate that fucking band name.

ok, you guys are right. i just relistened to the amos/plant thing and it is absolutely awful

I thought that I'd bought this in high school, and I was correct- just found a copy of the CD in a box down in my parents basement. No case anymore, but the CD still plays. The songs are all pretty "eh" - I seem to recall that I bought it for the stone temple pilots and rollins band covers. Just played it, and that sheryl crow song is BAD.

Fuck you for not including an 'All Of Them' option.

Voted 4 Non Blondes.

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

Down by the Seaside is such a great song that I forgot about recently. Is that version any good?

That Tom T. Hall tribute record was damn good.

yeah. also sweet relief (victoria williams).

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

who is Never The Bride?

"Misty Mountain Hop" (Page/Plant/Jones), by 4 Non Blondes

like not even fucking close

― jordan s (J0rdan S.), Wednesday,

didn't know sarge liked Zep!

he's probably just dissing 4 non blondes

Never The Bride was signed to Atlantic Records in 1995, which is the only unifying trait between almost every band on this album

bullshit results imo

duran duran did kinda get shafted, yeah

"Dancing Days" (Page/Plant), by Stone Temple Pilots

in a TS between this & dying of cholera it'd be cholera in a walk

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ki9WtdZPsRY

a man who makes it through the first verse of this has a stronger stomach than a motherfucker who swallows bleach for breakfast

dude have you heard the whole album? there's much much worse, trust me

you are a man of taste and I refuse to hear it said of you that you listened to this whole thing

looking at the tracklisting is punishment enough, no matter what it was you did

i have a taste for shit and i will wade through a lot of it and be able to tell you what each and every person had for lunch that day

tbh i think it's funny when olds are so hung up on long forgotten culture wars that they're still too mad at Stone Temple Pilots or whatever to even notice how much worse bands have reached their level of success since then

yeah there's just something about the stone temple pilots that really gets me & has always gotten me. like I'd go to a staind show and review it favorably before I'd piss on the stone temple pilots if they were on fire. dk about yr "culture wars" thing but it sounds like projection or something I just really vehemently hate the stone temple pilots

i mean like "range life" style real indie lifers vs. scott fucking weiland culture wars

lol I think yr bringing some grand narrative to the relatively uncontroversial point that scott weiland is a no-talent

you should cover "plush" man. dece song.

like I'd go to a staind show and review it favorably before I'd piss on the stone temple pilots if they were on fire.

Man Steven Tyler, I love you and all of your 1970s hard rockin' rock tunes but I think this is absolutely crazy talk. Both are stinky piles of shit, but STP is like that little piece of cat shit that gets stuck behind the litter box for a month and you don't even notice it right away and when you do its all hard and crusty and doesn't smell anymore. Staind, on the other hand, is like if a brontosaurus took a shit through the roof of your house directly on your head.

but if you wanna go to bad for stp over 4 non blondes I got yr back man, go stp, fuck those assholes in 4 non blondes stp is way better

should cover what's up too imo

actually this is exactly right. if a brontosaurus shits on your house and it lands on your head at least it's funny and you have a story to tell you can get laffs w/ for years, or, worst case scenario, you get to die. occult cat shit just stinks for fucking ever and doesn't even have an "at least there's this" upside

of all the people i've ever interviewed, weiland is the most self-pitying and self-destructive and pathetic. but i will say that 'vasoline' is one hell of a riff.

didn't know sarge liked Zep!

yeah okay I love you aero but I've chosen STP

Almost completely OT, but I just realized how much Scott Weiland looks like Dennis Duffy.

This seems like a record Dennis might own, actually.

Rollins' vocals are the worst thing about the "Four Sticks" cover. The riff just sounds like half the riffs on Weight.

Man, that 4 Non Blondes cover is nowhere near as shitty as I was hoping it would be. I mean, it's basically a generic bar band cover of Misty Mountain Hop with some occasionally execrable improvisations from the lead vocalist.

Linda Perry has made a career out of being not as shitty as you'd hope

except, of course, for "What's Up?"

well i mean, based on the expectations created by that song

haha I know what you mean, I just marvel that her biggest as-a-performing-artist accomplishment is just the worst fucking thing

she is beautiful
no matter what you say
your words can't bring her down

the Hootie one is pretty decent by Hootie standards.

this is otm

did she tie chorizos around her head

That song had the biggest drop for people in general.

First time was "OK, that's an interesting one"
Second time was "That's quite good"
third time was "Noooo!!!! Make It Stopppp!!!"

oh man, Blind Melon is how I first got into "Out on the Tiles" and I can't even make it through their version anymore...

as a teenager I remember thinking that "dancing days" was SO much better than any other song STP had ever written...and it was for a reason.
