the little 'Led Zeppelin' at the top of the building gave it away... the only led zep album ive only listened to once, need to dig it out again i suppose.
and i see your point sambo, but emo is short for emotional hardcore, a lot of hardcore punk bands in the 80s started writing songs that were more emotional that the (usually) political based offerings.
and pop means more than just popular you know, to me its more about upbeat songs and with harmonies.
i dont mean to always be arguing with you sambo, just seems that every point you make i have a discussion about it, sorry...
