He's right. And it was every bit as ground breaking in '78, in the...

middle of the disco era, as Led Zep I, II, III, ZoSo IV, and Houses was, as music moved out of the late 60's flower power movement. Van I, II, Women Children, and Fair Warning are masterpieces of hard rock. Diver Down has some shining moments, but it was a quickie cash grab by the record company. Way way too many covers. A band that talented, shouldn't be doing more than one cover per album. 1984 was exactly what Ed wanted it to be for moving into keyboard driven hit making. Cue Jump. Huge huge huge single. But in my mind, garbage. Hate it. ** Edited by Strat Man at 1/11/2023, 11:41:03 AM
