Yeah, I listened to so much “Zep” when I was a kid that I got sick of ’em. Every Single Day back’n’forth to school.
I always laffed when people called ’em “heavy metal”, though, and I’d correct them with “heavy blues, ya mean, right?”.

Yeah, Led Zep was definitely a blues band. I know how you feel about hearing too much of a particular band. One of my freshman roommates (in a horribly-mismatched room full of them) played Fleetwood Mac 24/7, very loudly. To this day, I can’t enjoy listening to them.

Anne Bredon is another one I did not know about, and I have been playing my rather poor version of Babe I'm Gonna Leave You since I was in high school! Glad to hear that Zep eventually paid royalties on the composition.
I did not even know about the Joan Baez version that inspired Led Zeppelin, and I own the album Joan Baez in Concert where it appears. In all fairness to me, however, her version is quite different from the one Led Zeppelin came up with. It does have it's charms, though.
At least I know who Memphis Minnie is!
regarding Libba (what everybody called her) Cotten:
When it comes to death metal, I'm more of a tourist than a fan. Nevertheless, the musicianship on the track by Soreption blew me away. Great stuff.
Even more enjoyable for me was the prog-rock tune by Polyphia. Once again, I was floored by the chops.Those dudes are musicians' musicians.
Im kinda all over the place musically.
I tend to lean toward the heavier side, but mostly I just really love musical and instrumental proficiency almost regardless of genre.
Me too. Musically, I am both gourmet and gourmand.
Once time, a friend explained that I'm a musical slut! When I frowned, he said, "Yeah. You just like it all!." And that's kinda true. Most of the time, I pose as some sort of self-styled musical elitist, but occasionally I get exposed, when I fall in love with the latest cheesy pop tune.
It took me many years to admit that cheesy pop can be great.
Not sure I would have picked that one, but it's definitely what I'm talking about.
Gangnam Style, Wannabe, and Torn are all big songs I fell for. I don't like them quite as much now, but they were fun for the season.
And also this one:
It took me a long time to to admit I like Miley!
Mmmmm, I like cheesy-pops.
"I love cheesy poofs.
You love cheesy poofs.
If we didn't eat cheesy poofs,
We'd be LAME!"
