Thanks!
I always was wondering how the people in the comment sections at YouTube videos do their multiple emojis, since there is no list of emojis to select from like this forum has it. Now, that's the clue, it seems. So, I need to store this under my bookmarks. Never heard of emojipedia.org.
Again thanks!
On both KDE and GNOME you can insert emoji. On KDE, just press Meta + . and the emoji menu will show up

Stairway to Heaven.
I like the sign in some music stores: "Anyone caught playing Stairway to Heaven will be shot on sight!"

I was going to say Shipbuilding by Robert Wyatt, but it turns out that's only 39 years old.

]Radio stations in Germany are filled up with songs being overplayed.
It's their daily business to play songs being overplayed.
Pity this forum doesn't have a big thumbs down emoji icon!
PHEWWW!!! Glad I ducked!
This sort of makes my point. Radio stations and ad revenue are commerce. When a song accidentally achieves commercial success, it doesn't magically become a bad song. Especially success that lasts decades and inspires generations of beginning guitarists. It is true, though, that there are also generations of guitar shop employees who have suffered from being in the wrong job. My sympathies to each and every. Personally, I don't care to hear *anybody* cover it, including Led Zeppelin. The one performance that does justice to the studio version is Heart at the Kennedy Center.
But still. As fashionable as it is to scorn Stairway (Robert Plant agrees), IV came out when I was 13 and more naive than Page and Plant. Having lived a little life, that initial awe evolved into a simple appreciation that never fails to make me smile. Matter of fact, it's really the only reason to ever turn on a radio at all.

Wow! Don't we have the commercial radio 'progressive rock' listeners in this forum! I am a bit surprised by that.
I used to build up a collective of LPs and every so often dump the whole pile. The purpose being that I did not want to stop discovering music.
So I will make a quick grab at an album in general that still amazes me. Bitches' Brew, the title cut selection by Miles Davis.
1970… or so I believe.

Bob Dylan's original is 40 years old at least and I totally hate it.. but Warren Zevon covered it just before he died and it's easily one of my top 3 songs.
