Word is that surviving members of Acid Rock Avatars the Led Zeppelin are considering reforming. Of course, this means they'll need a new drummer since the one they had -- according to police records, John Bonham -- went off and died in 1980. While the obvious choice for a fill-in would be his son Jason, it's more fun to imagine what it would be like if they chose from the rock elite. And before you think it might be tough to find someone willing to sit behind the drums for the 27 minutes it takes LZ guitarist Jimmy Page to perform "Dazed And Confused," keep in mind that's usually when the band goes backstage, changes their shirts and play pinochle.

Here are the five drummers who could make a difference, who could transform "(And She's Buying The) Stairway to Heaven," "(It's Been a Long Time Since I) Rock n' Roll" and "(Ah) Hot Dog" into a whole new experience for a whole new generation. Whole Lotta Love, indeed!

Meg White:: Sure, I've heard the criticisms. And maybe the reason Jack

Summer has a dark side. For every heavenly tan somewhere lurks a sunburn. For every burst of summer love comes a heartbreak. Somewhere sits a family with an air-conditioner that has become irretrievably broken. They sit unable to defeat the heat or humidity, forced to confront their voluminous sweat and horrific body odor until the season mercifully relents. These are the stories you don't hear about. These are the people whose lives are kept from view. Because an evil entity - usually referred to as "THEY" - don't want you to know.

So, keep on believing that summer is an endless gorge of weenie-roasts, stylish surfing and perfect-bod lifeguards with lite-beer and fruity alcoholic drinks at your beck and call. The truth is so much darker. And these five songs speak to that truth. A few of them have even been kept off the radio because "THEY" don't want you to hear them. Because knowledge is power. And armed with this knowledge, you might refuse to celebrate summer, you might refuse to

Talking Heads named their album ' 77. Television, the Ramones, the Sex Pistols, the Jam, all kinds of new bands with new music proved to the world that with enough antipathy from radio it, too, could NOT SELL in large amounts. Sure, Never Mind the Bollocks It's the Sex Pistols turns 30 this year. But so do the following albums that became just as important in their own way.

Rush - A Farewell to Kings

Before these guys became the RUSH that brought together generations of music fans with their laborious concept albums, overwrought lyrical concerns, tricky, uselessly complicated time signatures and Daffy Duck on helium lead vocals, they were this little band from Canada (only three of them) that most people felt sorry for and bought their albums solely to boost up the band's self-esteem. In 1977, it wasn't uncommon to walk into a record store and overhear an earnest young girl say, "Oh, but their Canadian. I'd feel bad if I didn't help them out in some small way." In Canada, you had to

I used to think people were kidding when they told me that 1967 was a great year for music. Cream? Jefferson Airplane? The Doors? Jimi Hendrix? What is this other than classic rock radio sticking us with the music THEY want us to hear? How about the music the PEOPLE want to hear? The music that made a difference and that has now been shut out because it was simply TOO POWERFUL? That's what we've got here. The Five Albums from 1967 celebrating their 40th anniversary that aren't named Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band.

The Electric Prunes - I Had Too Much To Dream (Last Night)

Any album that includes a song called "Are You Lovin' Me More (But Enjoying It Less)" deserves to be better remembered. Any album that also includes tunes with names such as "Luvin'," which indicates that about ten seconds went into the effort for a title, "The Toonerville Trolley" and "About A Quarter To Nine," one of the finest songs to get the time approximately right, should be owned by everyone. The
