What long-running bands did you just become a fan of recently?

I have never really like Led Zeppelin until recently. They have grown on me a lot (mostly since I dont hear the same song over and over and over)

Same here. I didn't own any Zep on CD till about ten years ago. I didn't have to, cuz if I wanted to hear LZ, all I had to do was put on the local classic rock station and wait a few minutes.

I live in Philly and WMGK seems like it plays Stairway to Heaven every third song...

I too am new to the Zeps. For a while, my collection was limited to a double best of. A couple of months ago, i picked up two of their studio albums at my local record shop (which happens to be mainly specialized in classic rock).

I find its cool when I finally 'get' a band.

Only band that falls into this topic for me recently, is probably W.A.S.P.. I was a huge fan of their debut album when it was released, but then my musical tastes changed and up until a few years ago I never really checked them out again. I definitely missed out, because so far as I've been slowly getting caught up on their stuff, I haven't run across a bad album yet. For whatever reason I always put them in the one and done types of bands. Quiet Riot is like that to me. One decent album, then nothing but crap after. Boy was I wrong, W.A.S.P. was legitimately a badass band I bailed on too soon.

Q-104 in New York has been playing a nightly block of Zeppelin for years called (of course) "Get the Led Out" (grrooooaaan...).

The local big rock station here in L.A. (KLOS) had that same Zep show for a long time.

I've never bothered in getting any Led Zep because I figure if I wanna hear any of it, all I need to do is turn the radio on and I'll hear some right quick.

True, except the radio doesn’t play the deep tracks. But I see what you’re saying.

Actually, I would get the Zep discography on CD but it always seems pricier than normal and there's much more I would rather buy first.

I have the excellent “Mothership” compilation cd. And the most recent remaster of Houses of the Holy.

After sitting for years on just owning a best of box set and Song Remains the Same, I bought the box set The Complete Studio Recordings about ten years ago or so. Not much extras, but it's a cool set if you're looking to get their discography. Cheapest one on discogs is about $35.00 plus shipping. Looks to be in somewhat decent shape even, especially for the money.

This is the compilation that I own too. I was told it pretty much covers most of the band's career. I also have Presence and III.

I have an original KLOS "Get The Led Out" magnet on my fridge. Been dragging it around since I got married in 85.

The good old days!  

I haven't listened to any radio in years now.

Do blame you... there is no metal.

Not very recently but just in the last couple of years:

Freedom Call: Though I have known about them for years, I never sought out anything from them despite hearing many good things about them. I had planned on exploring them but forgot about them with so many on my wantlist vying for attention. Two years ago I came across a CD at a used CD place but the price was too high so I was going to look for it. I found it and liked it so much I got the CD that just came out that year (M.E.T.A.L.). My next step was a 4 in one album collection. I've done a purchase like that before and it helped fill a full collection. However, this turned out to have only two full albums. The other two were a best of and a live album.

I then began to one by one get every album and early this past year I now own every album.

There was an amazing rock and metal show that used to air late, on mondays. I miss such shows.

I just ordered "Unbroken" so that will be my 4th Tokyo Blade CD.

Amazing album.

Thousand men strong is also very very good. Highly recommended.

Did you get their latest as well?

Tokyo Blade is a band I'd like to start collecting. Too many bands...

Yeah, I have that one already. Dark Revolution.

I didn't look for Thousand Men Strong because I saw it has a different singer.

My first TB album was No Remorse. I love it. Can't understand why it got so many bad reviews.
