CODA sucks and so does anyone who denies it.

that place is a dumping ground for (mostly) awful and some not-so-awful records (majority). the no price tag approach combined with the owner or clerk making up the prices as they wish is plain dumb. all in all, bop street is certainly not the best record store - that goes to jive time and easy street. be prepared to pay a pretty penny for that unauthorized nirvana dvd fool. zep never made a bad record either. yes, the last two were uneven but "presence" rawks.

Shockit, Honestly, I was expecting some backlash, but I am really hurt by your statement. It cut deep. I think I'd rather have you threaten my entire family with some sort of horrible, Medieval Disease than suggest Vampire Weekend. Bravo.... you done well.

Wait wait wait. Just because I admitted I could "care less" about Zeppelin, doesn't mean I have ZERO taste. Plus, vampires are scary.

The last two Zeppelin albums were obvioulsy not the best work by the band. You could feel the '80s pop influences starting to come into play. That being said, there's some gold on there, but still crappy by Zeppelin standards.

I remember stumbling across some website that threw up Zeppelin songs and the songs that were eerily similar, and yet, were older.... Personally, I'm prepared for the following backlash, not terribly impressed by the metal balloon. That's my secret. They're good, but I have yet to see why I need to piddle myself. I'm sorry. I feel a huge weight off my shoulders. I could care less about Zeppelin. Oh, it feels better every time.

lol @ "some crappy, late Zeppelin albums". That crap is better than 95% of the music out in today's industry. From here on out, any future music post from Seattlest lacks all credibility in my eyes.

I love few places in Seattle as much as I love Bop Street. The best part of the store is the basement, which is just rows upon rows of shelves of records up to the ceiling. I could have curled up and died a happy girl there amongst all the vinyl.

I also had a good experience my first time at Bop, I purchased both a jingle cats and rick astley tapes. Yes, indeed, they also have an amazing collection of crappy old cassette tapes that can be yours for some kind of cheap price that I forget.

Ummm, you lost all credibility at "some crappy, late Zeppelin albums". If you don't know why... jesus, where to start? I can't start. But you know, hey. Keep going to Bop Street, keep learning.

Perhaps a weekly "Best of" where a really cool, widely unknown place gets a little blog love.

Wow. That's really cool. Can we get more "inside seattle" posts, like thissa one?
