I don't care if it's Marilyn Monroe's true life story (or even Madonna's-heh,heh).And it doesn't sur- prise me that you don't like Led Zep IV, because other people have heard of it.Your big scene is to ask net.posters about bands that nobody has ever heard about,knowing full well that you ain't gonna get no answer.I mean a guitarist who's now a Freshman at some small college in Wisconsin??!! Give us a break!!!.... >you don't like depressing music but I happen to thrive on it and I think ...oh,come on Paul.How do any of the songs on "The Wall" compare, in depression-inducing value,to "Dreams Reoccuring" or "Reoccuring Dreams"??!!Stick to the people who make their living depressing peo- ple,not the people who become depressed if Kate Bush can't come to dinner... >that the Wall is an incredible album.
