bit of a stretch to describe 1 side of a double LP as an "album" !!

well, true, but I always think of Physical Graffiti as two different albums because both sides are quite different

But a double album has FOUR sides . . . do you mean DISC 1, as in the CD? Either way, side 1 or disc 1 I've never liked In My Time of Dying going on for over 10 minutes. Plant at his shriekiest.

I would be very interested to know what the "bad tunes" on Sticky Fingers are.

Motels, once again, close but no cigar . . . a more interesting and specific thread would be "Bad Tunes on Otherwise Great Albums". Not that you should start it.

One could, arguably, then say "SOME GIRLS" - "Lies"

Not that they're bad songs....but when I play the CD I tend to skip a few until I get to All Down the Line and Stop Breaking Down.

Great subtitle for my autobiography.

"a more interesting and specific thread would be "Bad Tunes on Otherwise Great Albums". Not that you should start it."

Actually on this board you can change the title in the Topic. You couldn't do that on the Novogate board. But I guess its not exactly the same thing.

If you're telling me you don't like side three of Exile on Main St. that's your own damage . . .

as I've never bought vinyl, an age thing - yes I mean CD 1, In My Time Of Dying IMO is a monsterous riff and well produced so deserves the extra duration

You're the one who asserted at the start of your thread that it "came close" to having no bad tunes. The construct of your sentence implies that it's not quite there, which means, by the definition of the thread you took the time to post, that there's one on there. And now, less than 10 posts later, you won't even back up your initial assertions?

You're SOOOOOOOOOOOOO bad at this!

Does it ever haunt you at night? The number of threads you've irresponsibly fathered and then abandoned over your career? Left to their own feeble devices as you move on to some new conquest? Stunted at 10 . . . 12 . . . 2 posts because you couldn't be bothered to marshall them onto a life of their own? Do you ever think of their twisted little souls crying to you in the dead of night, ". . . MOTELS . . . DADDY . . . we are . . . dying . . . on . . . the . . . vine . . ."

I spent a great deal of high school doing just that. PG was a major spin for me. Or "reel" since them was the days of tapes. But then I found out where the mind goes when you "burn a bone" and play Let It Bleed. Then Zep was OVER.

I like the music OK on Dying - the slide guitar is very oooooozey, but this is the exact moment (which continues for most the rest of this album and the rest of Zep's career) when Plant loses me as a vocalist.

I'll take the Blind Willie Johnson version, thanks!
really?
