Anyway, Led Zeppelin are not my favorite toy; I have a greater passion for inflatable dolls. That said, it’s one thing to say that Led Zeppelin have committed plagiarism, and another to claim that 8 out of 10 tracks, or maybe even more, are plagiarized (if math isn’t just an opinion, 80% means eight out of ten). If by "getting informed" you mean giving credit to all the rumors circulating online, often unverified, without precise sources, and thrown around just to make noise, well, I happily enjoy my ignorance.

alright

Well, Percy, LED ZEPPELIN didn’t exist, it was all a setup. The greatest hoax in history. And here I am, fool that I am, thinking they were one of the greatest rock bands of all time. Praise to you, oh Percy, for enlightening me!

In fact, I wrote stairway to heaven, come on! And now don’t come up with the story about the Taurus arpeggio, because the piece lasts 8 minutes, and it's not eight minutes of the same arpeggio.

Yosif, no offense, but let's be clear, R'N'B doesn't exist; it's an invention of MTV, which in 1999, to justify Mariah Carey's non-songs full of continuous vocal runs, ah ah, uh uh, oh oh, without the slightest hint of a damn melody – see Heartbreaker – pulled the definition of r'n'b out of a hat, which, mind you, with Rhythm&Blues, the real one, has nothing to do with a Brussels sprout, but rather it’s just shiny little pop, with some nods to hip hop (or rap, take your pick, it's all the same), and at most a few soul digressions for the slightly more talented singers. So it's a big joke, plain and simple. Anyway, out of honesty, since I don't know the album, I won't vote.

UP AROUND THE BEND is my favorite track, but the whole album is pure spectacle.

I mean, yeah, in short, the Creedence are rock, damn it!

Then, frankly, I find it really too verbose; some scenes and dialogues feel a bit trivial and could have been avoided. While the bombing scene set to the background of "Ride of the Valkyries" can undoubtedly be considered a masterpiece, other parts convinced me less. For example, I've always thought surfing under bombardments was a half-baked idea; I don't think anything like that ever happened, and certainly not with the approval of the higher officials. I understand that there was an intention to depict the madness of war and the effects it has on those who partake in it, but honestly, they all seem like they've escaped from a madhouse—it's a bit exaggerated. In my opinion, Oliver Stone or the great Stanley Kubrick would have done better. Maybe I'm wrong, but that's what I think. For me, however, the film that most expresses the true tragedy of that pointless war is "Born on the Fourth of July." I would give that five stars for life.

you never give up, huh? I recognize that you're stubborn.
