D'yer Mak'er - Led Zeppelin!
love that one. Bought the album the day after i joined.
Listening to:
Sheik Yerbouti - Frank Zappa
It has NOT held up as well as his other albums. If it wasn't for Rat Tomago, Sheik Yerbouti Tango, I'm So Cute, Jones Crusher, Wild Love and especially Yo' Mama, this album would be overproduced, overly glossy, despite being heavily overdubbed live recordings presented as a studio album.
I grew up with it, so i'm glad it's in my collection, as its highlights are REALLY REALLY good.
I Have Been In You 3:34
Flakes 6:41 (Zoot's listening pick #1, )
Broken Hearts Are For A''holes 3:42 (Zoot's listening pick #2)
I'm So Cute 3:09 (Zoot's listening pick #3)
Jones Crusher 2:49 (Zoot's listening pick #4)
What Ever Happened To All The Fun In The World 0:33
Rat Tomago 5:17 (Zoot's listening pick #5, Berlin 1978, no overdubs)
Wait A Minute 0:31
Bobby Brown Goes Down 2:49 (heard it too many times to recommend it)
Rubber Shirt (FZ/Bozzio/O'Hearn) 2:43 (Zoot's listening pick #6)
The Sheik Yerbouti Tango 3:58 (Zoot's listening pick #7, Berlin 1978, no overdubs)
Baby Snakes 1:50
Tryin' To Grow A Chin 3:32 (Zoot's listening pick #8)
City Of Tiny Lites 5:31 (Zoot's listening pick #9, i prefer unaltered live recordings though)
Dancin' Fool 3:43
Jewish Princess 3:16
Wild Love 4:09 (Zoot's listening pick #10)
Yo' Mama 12:35 (Zoot's listening pick 11, if you only pick one song of this album, make it this one)
