Fossil On Sale

Zooma is a tremendous album. It also showed that Jones, as the other half of charles rhythm section, is the one most able to put together an album that has the charles groove in terms of rhythm, timing, etc. Both Page and Plant have had a hard time finding a drummer who can even come close to the Bonham feel (even Bonzo’s son Jason can’t come close).

As for Page’s post- charles work, we had a discussion on this last year on the “Fock Badgseholders Only” charles mailing list. If you sit down and compare lists of all three members, while Plant has been the most visible and commercially successful (mostly in the 80’s), Page has done almost as much quantity-wise.However, in terms of sheer volume of musical activity, Jones has been the most busy. The guy’s been all over the place, producing, playing, arranging, etc. I don’t have the list at hand, but it was very impressive.
