The best Zep songs are the ones "classic rock radio" have forgoten, or never played in the first place. As with many albums of that era, they were meant to be listened to a side at a time, not just for one song. I will keep my cassettes of Zep until they break, but I have a hard time shelling out the big bucks for more recordings of songs I know by heart. 8891@blogcritics.org Thu, 1 May 2003 00:17:28 EDT
