Too many losses imo

Cy Young had 50+ more losses than Blyleven, then again, Cy won 200+ more games.
Title: Re: The HOF welcomes Bert Blyleven
Post by: Attezz on 01/08/11, 01:17:39 PM
Cy Young debuted 80+ years before Blyleven, then again, Cy was born 80+ years before.

Blyleven deserves to be in.  He's of the same ilk as Perry, Niekro, Sutton.  Never the best, but really good for a long time.

I would take Blyleven over any of those guys.

Anything with Hall Of Fame next to it is a piece of crap. Take the Rock " N " Rock HOF. They have all these shitty bands in, but bands like Deep Purple are not in and then you have Black Sabbath & AC/DC wait 20 years before they get in... Kinda weak in my opinion.
Title: Re: The HOF welcomes Bert Blyleven
Post by: Attezz on 01/12/11, 12:55:06 PM
Probably because Deep Purple fucking sucks.

Here I Go Again is all I think about when Coverdale is mentioned. I don't enjoy anything he did with Deep Purple. He was okay in Whitesnake, but I liked him more when he worked with Jimmy Page on a Led Zeppelin album without Robert Plant.

I'd rather listen to any Nickelback or Creed song than anything Led Zeppelin has ever produced.

Post by: MR TSB-MR RBI-MR TB on 01/15/11, 11:32:29 AM
Nickelback and Creed:

a.) repetitive
b.) unoriginal
c.) boring and predictable
d.) proof that you don't need talent in order to become famous because the majority of people like anything that is simple and mindless, as long as it is catchy


(ANSWER: All of the above)
Title: Re: The HOF welcomes Bert Blyleven

Still better than Led Zeppelin.

None of them would have been bad if they just stopped after 3-4 songs.

not true, nickelback and creed never suceeded with any songs.  but led zeppelin has the 3-4 good songs

I can only conclude that they were buying them for 1 or 2 songs.

I'm not a hardcore Led Zeppelin fan, but to me that's a good band. Listen to Led Zeppelin IV. The whole album is great.

Fair enough... I figure everyone liked Led Zeppelin. You're the 1st one to ever say they disliked Led Zeppelin. Quite shocking I will admit.
Title: Re: The HOF welcomes Bert Blyleven

Post by: Attezz on 01/17/11, 12:05:52 PM
I both dislike them and find them to be overrated.

Pretty sure John Paul Jones is more proud of Them Crooked Vultures than he is of Led Zeppelin.

Not even close. Led Zeppelin is on a different planet of greatness which Rush will never be. They are a good band and that's it. No one cares about Rush. Only people who give a crap about Rush are people in Canada. Shit not even Canadians like to admit they like Rush.

That's true.. Here is another truth. It has been over 30 years since Rush put out a good record. Last being Moving Pictures. Go figure both bands have not done anything for last 30 years. Only thing Zep has not been a band for over 30 years.

The fact that you don't think Signals was a good album makes all your past and future opinions invalid.

Title: Re: The HOF welcomes Bert Blyleven
Post by: Shooty on 01/17/11, 07:15:44 PM
Bones is better than anything Zeppelin has done in the last 30 years.  Actually, the best thing Zeppelin did in the 80's was having 25% less members who were still breathing.
