"The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down".

Not to hijack this post (I absolutely Love that Band)  I'm speaking on the term of opinions.  I was at a summer outdoor part at a friends house, and my Friends friend said Duran Duran was better than Led Zeppelin!  Honest to God!!  I know that is one's opinion (he was 44 years old as well)  I got up and walked away, I didn't even reply. 

I bought and enjoyed the Brown album when it came out. My appreciation for MFBP came decades later!

Well, you can get up and walk away again, because I think that Duran Duran has produced an amazing number of memorable songs, and I also prefer them to Led Zeppelin. I like Led Zeppelin as well, but they had quite a few clunkers mixed in with the good. 

As far as better or worse, I don't like to look at it that way. It's not a contest.

OMG, I detest Duran Duran. But I love the debut album by ABC (The Lexicon Of Love), who plowed basically the same field as DD.

I find it kind of amusing how Robert Plant is now involved in music somewhat related to The Band’s kind of music. Why amusing? Because during the time Led Zeppelin were taking over the world of Rock ’n’ Roll, The Band were viewed as an antidote to Led Zeppelin and their ilk.

I can’t speak for any of LZ’s other members, but Plant has long been a fan of Rockabilly, Jump Blues, and other strains of Roots Rock music. He and Dave Edmunds are close friends, and Plant personally signed Edmunds to his Swan Song Records contract. If you haven’t heard Dave’s 1970’s-80’s Swan Song albums, you are in for a treat when you do. Start with Get It, his debut on the label (he has two precious albums on other labels, also fantastic).

We agree on Dave Edmunds. I think he's great.
