haha, not thick, I was suuuuper general, haha. basically: I don't know a ton about music in the 30's-70's, so if you have any favorite bands/performers/covers/tours, etc, that you want to share/think was influential, tell me about them! :) and I'll look it up, and add it to my info.

I don't need to tell you that Led Zeppelin's covers and packaging are absolutely epic...all of them. Especially Physical Graffiti, I sat around looking at that for-fucking-ever. I also don't need to say anything about the Beatles (of course I don't). Pitchfork's worst covers of 2009 list was kind of eye-opening and brought us such gems as
