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.

So yeah, cheap lazy and generally accurate…

There is a lot ground to cover, I honestly don't have all the specifics. To me there's a lot of gray area, but it comes down to what does the song require. To simplify things, it makes sense for a choir to use the 4 major ranges, it makes writing the composition easier at least.

Those videos are interesting. The main showcase seemed to be how when hitting those notes called out, how effortless was it. I'm a tenor, yet I can still carry notes out of range. The trade-off is that I lose volume or stability. Or like how my low note might be a baritone's high note. It's the same note, but who's more comfortable with it.

Keep trying to figure it out though, it's a good rabbit hole to get into. Cheers~

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.

Nothing good was made after the 90s

California, 50 years old. Woman. Nick Cave is in my top 10. I’ve always loved lyric driven, navel gazing, dark side songs with a hint of shred. It was almost a straight line from Leonard Cohen to Nick Cave, with a pitstop at Tom Waits.

Ah... did not know that. Learn something new every day.

>Can you recommend some bands who play "modern prog rock & prog metal"? I'm a boomer who's into bands like Nightwish, Epica, Imperial Age, Beyond Creation and Dragonforce. I'm always looking for more good music in that genre.

Old or new prog?

Because he was borderline tenor-baritone and touched tones of both?

What's funny is that many of the songs I didn't like back in the 80s sound much better today, comparitively

That’s not what a fucking rainbow baby is dumbass

A rainbow baby is a baby born directly after the mother miscarried/ had a stillborn

No. You can’t tell if you listen to Chris Cornell talk and he has a 4 octave range.

Any recommendations for prog rock?

I feel like every generation does this back in my day shit. News flash there was some really terrible music made in the 70s and 80s and 90s and 2000s....and today. We remember the greats and seem to forget some of the garbage that came out at the same time that was actually getting radio play when the greats weren't.

As for rap/hip-hop for the non-fans open to suggestions...2 of my top artists.....atmosphere has been making amazing music for decades. Logic is an incredible story teller, with musical complexity.

Yet another incredible album by an incredible band. Produced by one of the most innovative guitar players ever. Another masterpiece

When I saw kendrick lamar live, nearly every person knew nearly every lyric to most of the songs. It was an amazing chorus.

That’s is quite the ride, that song, and one Kylie’s better performances.

Okay to be fair I'm probably exaggerating for the sake of my own optimism, but I think it's probably safe to say that more young people aren't satisfied with popular music today than in past generations

>I'd be curious if you could recommend anything new!

I dwell primarily in Prog circles so here's a short list of (almost exclusively prog) albums that came out within the last few years that I think are great:

Lightworker by Devin Townsend

Fauna by Haken

Aphelion by Leprous

Fear Inoculum by Tool

Rise Radiant by Caligula's Horse

Closure / Continuation by Porcupine Tree

I Don't Know What I Am by Reliqa

Witness by VOLA

In Cauda Venenum by Opeth

Shadow of My Future Self by Ross Jennings

The Wind by Balmorhea

Niratias by Chevelle

BILO IV by David Maxim Micic

Hushed and Grim by Mastodon

The Work by Rivers of Nihil

Fortitude by Gojira

Phanerazoic II by The Ocean

I'll admit that some of these bands have been around since the 90s but some of them are as new as 2018. I'll also admit that a couple of them might be too heavy for your taste, particularly Gojira, The Ocean and Rivers of Nihil. If you'd prefer song recommendations, I could recommend a song or two from each of these albums
