ah, well, it's written. I'll just have to hope that the fic readers aren't musical philosophers.
So there is something I can do, besides scream like a woman?

Buffy and Angel 1: BUFFYNANGLE4EVA!!!!!1!
Is it better the second time around? Or the third? Or tenth? This is the place to come when you have a burning desire to talk about an old episode that was just re-run.

Not Zeppelin. I would think that rebel Giles would have been philosophically opposed to Zeppelin.Why do you think this, Gandalfe (just curious--I'm not writing anything).

The generation that could change the world is still looking for its car keys.
Led Zeppelin were the band that the punks railed and rebelled against. They were the establishment, and nobody who was anti-establishment would be for them.

Art Crawl!!!
I'd say Iggy, Bowie, maybe Marc Bolan.

Yeah, but Giles also liked Freebird.
eta...
I know that's not a Zep song. Freebird just indicates to me Giles probably wasn't as proto-punk as we'd think.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
The Who might be too earnest for him;
Not so much as to keep him from performing "Behind Blue Eyes" in public at a coffee house.

He's not NOW, but, as I've found, when you get older, if you love music, your tastes expand.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
Well, and the age question is still up in the air. If Giles was 20 in 1967 (when Disraeli Gears came out) then that's one frame of reference; but if he was 20 in 1973, very different frame of reference. Agreed that, 20 years on, people do mellow and come around to liking good music that was anathema in their youth; whereas 20 years do not always kill one's love for the awful music of one's youth.
Which is why I own a Neneh Cherry album.

Up with the sun
I think of Giles as being closer to 40 than to 50 in the first season, but I can't point to a specific reason why, other than that the age difference with Miss Calendar didn't seem to be so broad as to skeeve anyone out, and I didn't see her as being much past 30.

Agree. When you go back, he's actually pretty young looking. How hold was he really back then? (ASH, obviously.)
