Been having discussions of late about drum timing perfection to a metronomic beat and how not much real music follows it.
Is Def Lepper's "Rock of Ages" or Alvin Lee's, "Bluest Blues" in perfect time?
Hardly.
Def dudes -
Alvin -
Why do they sound fine just as they were produced?
Must be the groove/swing . . . and then there is all that Led Zeppelin stuff to consider . . .

That Alvin Lee track is marvellous, has George Harrison on slide guitar. I like it when time's a little 'off' as it sounds like there are real people playing instead of a drum machine or computer. Even subtle variations in time make a difference to the 'feel' of a track.
Ringo would be an exception, as he has great time but also sounds human.
