    I agree Waldo. Look at what some pommie (say hes an aussie now) did to 'Stairway to Heaven'. Should have stuck to 'Tying Kangaroos'.

    As if Rolf doing Stairway dont get you where it hurts. I heard an interview with him recently where he said that at the time he was asked to record the song he had never heard of "Stairwaw to Heven " or Led Zeplin. You have to ask where he had his head shoved for the last 40 years to be that out of touch with things. Even my mother whose record collection consisys of Richard Clayderman, The Seekers and Perry Como knows who Led Zeplin was.

    I hope he has given up his Australian citizenship and stays in England. He is plain embarrasing like Russel Crow and Shane Warne.

    I have changed my stance since I bought "Handbuilt by robots" by Newton Faulkner the other day. Have a listen to his guitar playing. Like van halens tapping but modified for accoustic so it's not about speed but adding something that wasn't there before and I've never heard so much use of harmonics. And it's percussive and he has a great voice and writes some damn good songs.
    Good music can still be written, it just has nothing to do with major record companies.

    As an aside to the previous post, I just checked out Fantasia's website (American Idol winner). This girl has a phenomenal voice and has just released an album (at least the samples I heard) of almost melody-less music. You can't hum to it, You could even hum to Duran Duran.
