It looks like that "Tribute Prism" could use a little work...

1973 they had a good stab at it! EDIT: Diffraction angle yes? It's pf so I should have checked.

I thought it was about dying?

(Sigh.) Yes, you (and @PeroK) are probably right. Heck, what would I know? I've never been skillful enough to make a girl scream "Oh God! I'm DYING!".

For me classic rock stopped after Ian Gillan left Deep Purple 1972, Led Zeps best albums were behind them 1-4

What about Physical Graffiti and Houses of the Holy? PG has some filler tunes and probably could have been a single rather than double-album (I feel the same about Guns' Use Your Illusion I & II - should have been condensed), but they are still great albums.

In Through the Out Door isn't my favorite, but it has its moments. I think Presence is excellent.

There are some great tracks just not great albums for me after 4. The first 4 were just so good they seem to dip after.
No quarter is great and the only track I prefer live (Song remains the same)
Kashmir is brilliant. Trampled under foot is great.
The rain Song is good but all those strings towards the end put me off a little. Too much.
Perhaps I'll have to give a listen,not heard them in years.

EDIT: Came out of PF and had two alerts waiting. This is one. https://faroutmagazine.co.uk/led-zeppelin-song-john-paul-jones-hates-john-bonham/

What a lovely picture, she has his eyes. To be fair B7 is a horrible chord to learn first position. Dad knows best.

There is a quite good tribute band here: I hope they will do something 'live'

... and they did: the whole album


...and more...

Queen launched their debut "Queen" in 1973, with the single "Keep yourself alive". I bought it when I was 13, in 1997. My classmates found that weird. I thought I discovered gold.

I went to see this last night. https://www.jodrellbank.net/events/pink-floyds-50th-anniversary-of-the-dark-side-of-the-moon/

All I can say is amazing. When physics and technological discoveries meet Pink Floyd.
Probably less than 200 people there?
