The 15 Song Album collection:

Kay is the one who posts LZ tracks, Plant recorded some very dodgy stuff after LZ. Even FZ's crap tracks are brilliant 🙂

 

[russc]

And none in bad taste? I thought that was FZ's raison d'etre?

 

[ItsAllInMyHead]

Is this theme really so difficult? Let's try to get things moving along!

Yes, because diyAudio members obviously have impeccable taste.

It is possible that some members do not wish to own up to taste faux pas. Or perhaps do not wish to acknowledge that their favourite band has made a dodgy track?

We also rarely mis-hear lyrics. I could have done an entire list just for Pearl Jam and Bob Dylan. The list of cheesy tunes I love is a bit embarrassing though.... 😀

@shiwangi - You're up for a new theme.

 

[russc]

At least, until someone or something points out the misheard lyrics! 😉

Then you thought wrong

Ok, that seemed to stir up the nest a bit, so how about songs that others are very impressed with but you can't see why or for extra points something that you personally despise, despite favourable reception from others.

10 - Stairway To Heaven - Led Zeppelin

Until very recently I would have agreed with this almost completely. However, I recently heard a cover version with Anne Wilson from Heart on vocals and it just seemed to fall into place and be seen as something much more beautiful than ever before.

 

[ItsAllInMyHead]

This one? It is both Ann and Nancy, so I'm not sure if it's the one. Either way, I love this performance. The Kennedy Center Honors often has "once in a lifetime" performances. Sadly, they're rarely officially released. So, I rely on often lousy DVR recordings or other means to keep them. This one created such a craze, that it was actually released on streaming services like Amazon Music. The reactions from the surviving members got me a little choked up when I watched it for the first time.

Yes, it is this one!

It really is quite special and has totally redefined this song for me.

It's not that Roundabout or Stairway to Heaven aren't great songs. It's just they've been so overplayed in the past 45 years. One can only take so much.

Absolutely agree on the Heart version of Stairway done at the Kennedy Center Awards. They did an amazing job.

Having the choir in the background and Jason Bonham on drums was just icing on an already great performance.
