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

they STARTED AS A LED ZEPPELIN COVER BAND so my god did we dodge a bullet there.

they released an album last year on which they covered the entirety of led zeppelin ii, so potentially we didn't dodge a bullet at
all

now she's back from the atmosphere
with drops of lemon juice in her hair

It's not actually horrible, but it's like paying to hear a tribute band

How soft your fields so green
Can whisper tales of gore
Of how we calmed the tides of war
We are your overlords

Tell me
Did the wind sweep you off your feet
Did you finally get the chance to dance along the light of day
And head back toward the Milky Way

this thread just prompted a "Zeparella" rabbit hole on YouTube - thank u thread

Kinda nice that Plant sings with Tori as Zeppelin was her favourite band as a child and inspired her playing in the conservatory.

IIRC, she asked him to join her, going so far as to let him pick the song. He picked DBTS because it was a track he felt he'd contributed a lot to, writing-wise, that was at the same time reasonably obscure and underexposed (did they ever even do it live?).

There's a Tori interview where she says she was asked to do the song via a phone call; don't think they've performed it live though.

good pick, i think; i think the _encomium_ version of it is probably better than the zep version.

Well, speaking of Linda Perry and covers.

Violent J has really shed some pounds!

wtf with the 4 non blondes revisionism in evidence here, they are terrible, what's going on is terrible, this cover is terrible.

still say the STP cover is p nice if not incendiary
