Don't quit the day job treacle. You're not ready for The Improv.

Like any professional, I'm ironing out the material before going live with it.

Your feedback is noted.

I thought it was ironically funny...and I'm not even a Floyd fan by a long, long shot...

Look man, I don't need your guff. I'm working my butt off here day in day out for minimum wage.

A little appreciation is all I ask for.

It's really harder than it sounds. You've already attacked or at least interfered in a large number of countries already.

We'd like to maintain some originality!

What do you think Quebec is?

Thomas Kincaid sold a lot more paintings than Cezanne and Van Gogh combined.
Dan Brown sells more books than Philip Roth.
Star Trek sells more tickets than Django (or will)
Why:
Most people like wallpaper that doesn't make them uncomfortable--that would be your Abba and your Michael Jackson but not your Rolling Stones singing about slave traders whipping women just around midnight or who killed the Kennedys or too much blood.


On the internet nobody knows
you're Mick Jagger

"the stones have over 400 songs to boast including cover versions, yet they are outsold by Zeppelin whos recording career lasted around 12 years, not a lot of studio albums and not a lot of songs on each album."

Zeppelin never released singles, (ok a couple by over zealous Exec's) and this deliberate strategy by Peter Grant and Jimmy Page ensured that fans would have to purchase the album to obtain the track, very smart decision as witnessed by the sales of II,IV and Physical Grafitti.

Zeppelin also deliberately targetted teenage boys, and The Stones had grown beyond that market, actually diluting their presence with teenagers at the same time Zep were making a full play for their ears, money and loyalty

How about those two French islands off Newfoundland? They probably wouldn't even put up a fight.

Not surprised they're only 13th.

Once again, even the matters is of little importance: In terms of sellinig albums, the Stones is #8, not #13..

Ah, but then the French would whine about it and we wouldn't be able to stomach that.

I've seen this myth over and over again. Yes Zeppelin did release singles and from nearly every album. They didn't fair well in the charts not because they were bad songs but because they weren't exactly top forty material. They apparently didn't release All My Love which might have been a big hit (reminiscent of The Stones not releasing Under My Thumb for some strange reason).

It goes to show that songs like Stairway, Sympathy, and Gimme Shelter can be huge hits without ever being chart hits.

Oh for crissakes, i'm talking USA and the UK, major markets.

Here is their website, now unless you can magically insert some releases into 1968-1980, then I'm correct, take this as a lesson in researching your topic

You're going by pictures of singles sleeves on their website? That's your top notch research? According to Wikipedia they released many singles in the U.S. and a few of them were top forty hits. Is it some grand conspiracy on the part of Wikipedia to deceive people into thinking Led Zeppelin released more singles than they did?

Maybe they didn't release singles in the UK but they did in the U.S..
