    I confess, I do love LedZed fans! They really do come out swinging when I rattle their cages!

    And when did the tooth fairy last visit, pray? And since when is having good taste in music being "a boring old fart". Great music (the real thing) is boring only to those whose ears are stopped and whose souls are either dead or totally absent. Bach, Beethoven, Mozart, Handel and all the other greats will be reaching souls and lifting minds long after the trite, money-grabbing rubbish of Page, Plant et al has long been forgotten.

    I will admit to one thing. Clearly the guy is a genius - to have conned so many intelligent people on this forum into believing that this is actually music bespeaks considerable ability in the field of con artistry. I think it was one A. Hitler, Esq. who said, "Tell a big enough lie often enough and everyone will believe it." Clearly LedZed and their ilk have accidently (I hope) rediscovered it. Mind you the line
    gives cause for thought? The counter to this argument on popularity as a measure of quality or fitness in any field is a two-word one - George Bush. Or, in music, Britney Spears.

    The Tones Music/Hi-Fi Song Book now has more than 20 songs, some of which have never been seen, such as "The Blue Max Song"

    Twin flex! Twin flex!
    It all sounds like twin flex to me, to me!

    Perhaps I should start a sticky and collect them...

    Only time will tell. What one can report is a steady decline in sales and interest over the past four decades. The youth of today that you seek to mock are the leaders of tomorrow. And they'll be listening to break beats so watch out.

    100 years from now, who knows what the population will be listening to? Who would have predicted rock music or global fusion at the beginning of the 20th Century.

    Classical music is likely to survive, as long as the establishment insists on throwing grants at it and forcing down our throats in the manner of Latin & Ancient Greek. It certainly wont be there because the majority of the global community enjoy it.

    As for your other comments, they are so pompous as to clearly be designed to wind up those unable to see your face.

    But their music will live forever, as opposed to the non-music of the decomposers.

    Something about pots and kettles comes to mind here! Dear Stereo Mic, please don't get me wrong. I have no objection whatsoever to your having zero (perhaps even negative) taste in music, this is your unalienable right and I respect your right to wallow in the trough of popular culture. I guess it leaves more room for those of us who prefer to look at the stars.

    The minority always seem to take a position of superiority as a defence mechanism.

    SM If you want to get him back, go to nearest sweet store and take some pics of Cadbury's Flakes, then let him know that you can buy these anytime you want, not just on special occasions :D

    Tone, I will sens you Cadbury Flakes, but you must swear to listen daily to at least one album from the great Zeppelin.

    Done! When do I start?































    P.S. I am assuming here that there is a band called Zeppelin that is genuinely great, and that it has nothing to do with the cat-scaring noise called Led Zeppelin.

    Er, no, the words "great" and "Led Zeppelin" being fundamentally contradictory, unless you misspelt "grate" or omitted a noun from a phrase, such as "great humbugs", "great con-artists", etc.

    By the way, to return to the original subject, does anybody really know what happened to Mana? I know their Forum is off the air (thus depriving me of another source of cheap laughs), but how does that imply that the Company is going out of business? (I guess, when you think of it, the discussion of LedZed and Mana in the same thread is appropriate as both are great con-artists who have fooled many intelligent people).

    Again, a typical resonse from someone who just had the truth stare at him in the face.

    I'm not about to give you a "Led Zep" fight as

    a) there is nothing to fight about - you are wrong
    b) I'm not a great fan of their work

    I see from your hifi as well that you are a man who likes living in the past. fair play to you sir! I expect I will one day, but I hope I will not reach the stereotypical phase of putting down anything recent as inferior.
