Songs like these, suggestions - classic rock?
Trying to find songs similar to these two. Not just in the same genre but compositionally similar.... Or if you have any suggestions you think I'll like, but I'd like to keep close to these. Tried Spotify and wasn't pleased with the suggestions. Ok:
"I love you more than you'll ever know" by Blood Sweat & Tears
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nMp4bedPF1o
"Since I've been loving you" by Led Zeppelin
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5QuGiMAEqE8
Coincidentally both these songs have love in them but that's not necessary.
But if you listen to these songs you'll immediately notice a connection. A strong bluesy and soulful apparent lead guitar. Very obvious in Jimmy Page's solos. Amazing. I've listened to a lot of blues and haven't stumbled upon anything that really stands out. Really would like to expand upon these songs here.
Thanks
1 AnswerRock and Pop7 years agoINCORRECT Placement Test Math Question. Man was I angry. What to do?
I just took a University's placement test and had an issue with one of the problems. Basic math problem.
Solve for x:
(4x-3)/(2)=-3(1/2)
The answer options were:
1
-1
1/4
-1/4
After not getting any of those answers my first time around, I tried again. And every time I could possible think of. The ONLY answer that made sense to me was x=0.
The test was NOT timed so I could fool around if I needed. However, I should mention the test was on the computer and you couldn't get to the next question until you answered the current one.
After switching up the equation for around 20 minutes I called the proctor over. I asked her if maybe there's a typo but she assured me the test was made by the state and there was no error; give it my best shot and come to an answer. I called her over once more after unsuccessful attempts to change my answer, to prove to her this couldn't be. She informed me that she didn't "know anything about math." It was after I called her over a third time that I did something I usually hate to do. I made a big fuss, politely of course. All said and done she printed out the question from her computer and informed me that she asked 4 math professors and all agreed the answer was there.
Needing to finish the test I entered an answer and moved on.
What do I do? I definitely want that point back and I don't want anyone else to get this problem.

1 AnswerCorporations10 years agoQuestion on a latin phrase (Magna Opera)?
To be vague, I'm ordering something custom that I can personalize. It's rather expensive.
Now, I initially decided to have Magnum Opus engraved onto it, but I didn't want to discredit this person's other pieces by saying that everything else he made wasn't "a great work'.
I then thought about the pluralization, Magna Opera, and thought that it might work. But I don't really know latin so I'm a bit lost. I want to make the piece seem important but not the pinnacle of the world. I would like it to be A masterpiece not THE masterpiece. It is one of the masterpieces to clarify.
So from here on I'm a bit confused. Does Magna Opera work as a substitute or does it not make sense? I don't want to have "Masterpieces" engraved because that doesn't really make sense.

6 AnswersJokes & Riddles1 decade agoProblem with Yahoo Mail?
Ok,
I currently have the Classic style Yahoo Mail because for some reason the new version wouldn't work. And I've had almost no problems up to now.
Whenever I click my Inbox or any link that will take me there, a tiny blue box in the top center of the scream pops up that says, "Loading..." but the page never loads.
I am expecting some important emails and this is a huge pain.

3 AnswersPolls & Surveys1 decade agoName of a Photograph?
In a photography class in school, we watched a film of "extreme photography" or something of that sort. And there was this one photograph that I really liked but can't remember the name or photographer. I'll try to describe it as best I can.
It was in a desert. There were four men on camels. They were fully dressed in white but were also wearing these goggles to protect their eyes from the sand. The camera is above the heads of the people to get everyone in the shot.
I realize that this isn't really enough information and that the picture may not be that famous. But just seeing if one person recognizes it.
Thanks.
1 AnswerPhotography1 decade agoA Modest Proposal Idea?
After reading A Modest Proposal by Jonathan Swift in English class, we are now assigned to write similar satire-based essay. We have to choose another problem and have an outrageous concept of a solution and enforce it using as much sarcasm and irony as we can.
If you have never read A Modest Proposal, his problem was related to parents having children that they can't afford, so his solution was cooking and eating them. He went into pretty great detail. (Of course he wasn't serious).
So I was wondering if anyone had suggestions as to what problem to write about.
Thanks a lot.
1 AnswerHomework Help1 decade agoBurn After Reading ?
All right, I saw Burn After Reading kind of late but... Personally, I didn't like it at all. I would like to get a meaning of the movie because I'm pretty sure I didn't miss anything. Why did this movie get good reviews besides the great actors' roles. If you're going to say,
"Oh, the Coen brothers sure did come up with another great" or
"Great plot for adults,"
please elaborate because I don't think you truly know, but I would.

2 AnswersPhysics1 decade agoAlgebra/Pre-Calc. help?
I am having some trouble with my math homework so if someone can help me it would be great.
For this problem I have to find the remaining roots.
4x^4 - 4x^3 - 25x^2 + x + 6 = 0
The teacher is telling us to use synthetic division, and I can do that, but I don't know what to do after that.
The next part I am having trouble with is problems like these. I have to use the Rational Root Theorem to solve each equation, giving all real and imaginary roots.
3x^3 - x^2 - 36x + 12 = 0
I know that I have to find a list of numbers to do something, but I'm for the most part, lost.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks.
1 AnswerMathematics1 decade agoHow to take GOOD notes.?
Hello,
The other day my new english teacher stressed the importance of good note-taking. He wants us to be able to extract the "important information" from textbooks and novels. But I'm so cautious that I usually write down as much as I can so I don't miss anything, and he doesn't like that.
Anyone know any tips that would specifically help this problem.
Thanks.
