I changed my mind from "What the hell, who dares?!" to "Pretty awesome" before the song ended. Open your minds too! :D

Too much Led Zeppelin on RP ...
 

"Too much Led Zeppelin..." - I don't understand the sentence, care to elaborate?

The 'Weird Al' Cover/Parody is better:

Oh my my this here Anakin guy
May be Vader someday later - now he's just a small fry
And he left his home and kissed his mommy goodbye
Sayin' "Soon I'm gonna be a Jedi"
"Soon I'm gonna be a Jedi"


...
And the Jedi I admire most
Met up with Darth Maul and now he's toast
...

The lyrics are awesome!

And the evening sighs and the steely, Russian skies go on, forever...
How fitting

Just plainly beautiful, with a touch of Twin Peaks.

His collaborative work "Sweet Pain" with Michael Brooke (electronic, not Country) is a mustt! (1996, Night Song)
My introduction to fusion world music - blew me away

Used for a Quentin Tarrantino soundtrack (and rumoured to be the reason Nusrat died of a heart attack when he found out how violent the movie was)


I remember him from The Natural Born Killers soundtrack not any of Tarantino's films. 
Which is violent none the less ;)

Funny, it's the most favourite track on this damn fine album for me :D

I wish there were a 7.5 rating. This (for me) is better than a 7 but not quite 8. I think R8TRH8TR would agree with me. We need fractions.



It doesn't matter. If it's 7.5, roll a dice or just put 7 or 8 there. Statistics will sort it out and average it. But beware, as someone suggested rounding up everytime will skew the statistics :D

How does that Led Zep  lyric go?

"Shame for me girl... 
I want to be your back door man". 



I'm totally with you. When I heard it I just thought "What the hell, an LZ song I haven't heard yet?"

It was 1997 in post-communist Czech Republic, and people were still super hungry for all the western bands. I loved Nick Cave and went to his concert without a ticket, which was prohibitively expensive for a high school student, with a friend who knew ways to get around. The concert was in a Congress Center. If you knew how to stop a lift abruptly on the 2nd floor, where it wouldn't stop without a key, and then force the door to open—coincidentally, my friend knew how 😉—you could get to the concert hall through a back door (not proud of it, but what the hell, I paid 1000x more for concerts later).

The concert was super amazing, with "Red Right Hand" being one of the songs. To this day, when I hear "The Weeping Song," I get shivers. It's kind of a boring song on the CD (sorry!), but totally stunning live. The crowd was so hypnotized and euphoric that after a second encore, people kept clapping, stomping, shouting, whistling, and screaming for a good 20 minutes, and Cave came back with all The Bad Seeds and added a few more. Probably my best concert memory ever!!!

I would not guess to hear Slovak here. For a while I was confused what radio I tuned {#Smile}

Interesting for a few times but now it's the only song on RP that I really cannot stand and I'm switchin radio off. This song really drives me mad
Posted 17 years ago by Elephantik:
I always thought it is Beatles song (or Lenon's). I am not much of Rolling Stones fan but this piece makes me change my mind a bit.

I am glad that your opinion is quite rare between RP listeners or at least between those voting here :)

okay, james blunt stinks but does anyone else not here a similarity between his voice and bowie's?!?! albeit SMALL - i'm not comparing the two's music - there is no comparison
No! Definitely! When I hear Bowie's voice I'm unable to do whatever else then listen. When I hear ... the other one, I'm going to change radio.

Sorry but even the world would not turn around without REM. So no day without them. It's just physics.

Just not my cup of tea. May be because of so complex lyrics.

IMHO the best single of previous century. May be millenium ;)
