Vinnie Paz - "The Oracle" (video)



Led Zeppelin - Celebration Day (2 CD/2 DVD)

I'm still not sure how I feel about this....  On one hand, it's great to see and hear Led Zeppelin back together again (even though this was shot in 2007), but on the other hand, it's a reminder about how great of a band they were and how badly they are missed.  For fans that already own everything, this is a must have.  For people just getting into Zeppelin, this is not where you should start (that would be Led Zeppelin I, II or IV).

Top Ten Led Zeppelin Albums (According to Ryan O'Brien):


1.  Led Zeppelin II - This is a greatest hits of it's own.  You've heard Whole Lotta Love a billion times, but what about Bring it on Home--- to this day my favorite cut by them


2.  Led Zeppelin I - Good Times, Bad Times is still the greatest.  Lots of blues on this one, but it's all good. ... You're Time is Gonna Come.. great, great song


3.  Houses of the Holy - The Ocean, No Quarter, Dyer Maker .... diverse. .. awesome.


4.  Led Zeppelin IV - So played out ... but so classic


5.  Physical Graffiti - This would be rated much higher, as I think it has some of their very best ... Kashmir... Custard Pie... Down by the Seaside .... it's got some filler though ... which is forgivable since it's imperfections kind of give it more character than any of their other cds


6.  Led Zeppelin III - Classic acoustic stuff.... it's just not what I think of when I think of them.  There are people that love this one though...


7.  Presence - Underated... For Your Life is a good bar drinking jam


8.  In Through The Out Door - In the Evening, Fool in the Rain and All of My Love are all great songs... the other 4 are not.  Last record before Bonham died.  This was the end.


9.  Coda - Unreleased songs after the band was already gone.  For the true fan only.
