You realize the news chooses what content to cover based on what will get the highest ratings, right? It's not some altruistic entity of truth and equality.

I think the point they were making is that the news feeds into the suburban viewers' mentality that the city is dangerous and chaotic, so the footage of this crash is for them.

Reply to Led Zeppelin released their album 'Houses Of The Holy' 50 years ago today by YoureASkyscraper
Definitely my favorite of all Zeppelin albums. It's maybe not a "perfect" album from start to finish but it has the perfect sound on every track. The balance of bright guitars and thunderous bass/drums, I don't know man. The production quality on Houses is just the absolute best I've ever heard on a rock album. Certainly some of my favorite songs are on here - The Song Remains The Same, The Rain Song, and Over The Hills and Far Away make one of the best combinations of three songs to open an album I can think of. The others are just super cool, even when they fall a little flat on composition, you get to just listen to an insanely talented band just groove and be their badass selves. And then after that you get No Quarter. Goddamn.

Especially when their last album was their fourth album, featuring Stairway to Heaven amongst other iconic songs. Wondering how they could possibly follow that masterpiece, you drop the needle and hear that epic opening riff.

Reply to I miss walking in to a record store and discuss music recommendations with the owner by MaybeTheDoctor
I was in a record shop in NYC a few years ago and had an experience like this. The owner was extremely friendly and saw an album I had picked out and then recommended another artist I had never listened to and showed me his favorite album by him and I bought it. We talked music for twenty minutes or so and I felt like I was transported back in time. Always remembered that guy, and then about a year after that I saw he was featured on Humans Of New York.

Saw a show on that tour too. Really good concert, the doobie brothers were fun and enjoyable but Donald and the band tore the house down.

Your dad looks just like a famous actor from that time but I can’t put my finger on what I remember him from or his name. Or if not an actor, some famous person. Like, he just looks so familiar.

I think you bring up a lot of good points and it's probably some combination of all of that. I love DP, and they totally deserve the recognition that Zeppelin and Sabbath get for influencing hard rock and metal.
Someone else pointed out a lot of it has to do with the consistency of their albums. Zeppelin released 7 consecutive albums that were absolutely fucking incredible, and their last album is still probably as good as much of DP's work too. Same with Sabbath, their first 6 albums are all complete bangers. Deep Purple took a while to find their stride, their sound evolved a lot, and they had significant lineup changes that altered said sound through different periods.
While they have excellent work that spans several decades, I would say their best run of albums includes In Rock, Fireball, Machine Head and Burn. Note that Who Do We Think We Are came out during this time but I did not include it because I don't think it's as good, save for the song Woman From Tokyo which is a classic. Zeppelin and Sabbath did not have any clunkers during their peak runs. I think that's the difference.

Reply to TIL that Evelyn Nesbit, dubbed "the world's first supermodel" became known for her involvement in a feud between her husband Harry Thaw and architect Stanford White who drugged and assaulted her age of 16, this led to Thaw murdering White inside Madison Square Garden in 1906. by TopAbies9056
Stanford White actually was the architect of that version of Madison Square Garden, the location of his death.
edit: furthermore, he was the "white" in Mckim, Mead and White which was the most prominent architecture firm in NYC during that period. They designed the original Penn Station along with many other neoclassical Beaux Arts landmarks.

They will always only admit to what has been proven - there is evidence that he contacted these people, but apparently no proof that he acted on it. Let's say there was proof he acted on it one time, but not every other time he made contact - then he would admit it was just one slip up, but only once and never again. The reality is OP will never know the truth but there is enough damning evidence to suggest he has cheated several times that his word is not enough to believe and he probably has acted on it many of those times.
