Thanks for posting this quote, I love it so much. It immediately made me think of songwriting and it sums up an entire philosophy in a moment. Fantastic.

Re Van Halen, their first 4 albums are consecutive home runs, certainly more densely packed with fine tunes than the AC/DC albums you’ve noted.
Diver Down was a place holding album, still with some bangers, and finally we have 1984. So- they didn’t quite best Zeppelin, but they did best AC/DC.

The Quietus,
With all due respect and a bit of affection, sometimes you promote a style of writing which advances big statements or pretzelly florid prose over the sort of deep consideration which results in simply great writing.

One reader already pointed out the long run of great Zeppelin discs…

There is a block in Roma Sur Mexico City which is a pretty reliable spot for pleasing poster detritus and a quick conversation with any number of cats that live in an abandoned lot.
