greatest band of all time???

[Trainer Monkey]

White boy blues? I disagree with that. I thought early on they were a very good blues band. Listen to the BBC recordings. It is cool to see they evolved from blues to rock. I mainly listen to blues and thats where most of my exposure comes to me except for obviously the rock station staples.

Kindof like FleetWood Mac, back when they had Peter Green. They were fucking awesome blues.

Tragically awful at blues,not even in the ballpark of John Lee Hooker,or Muddy Waters
Ill admit there are a couple of Zep songs I like,but not the same realm as the masters

I like John Lee Hooker, he is a very influential man. I hate it when B.B. King gets all the publicity as the great blues man, when in truth John Lee Hooker always should have overshadowed him, IBO.


I don't understand why you think they are bad at blues? I mean they have always been a great timed band, the guitars are always good while not the greatest at blues, and while vocals can get old if you listen at length: they are still a very solid blues band.
I concede that they are white people. Maybe that is why you don't think they are good at blues.

Do you like Roy Buchanan? Or Government Mule?

I like what Ive heard of Goverment Mule
Zep for me is like the Doors,I just dont get it,they both have a rabid fanbase, and I think there are better bands at what they do.
Oddly enough the Uber-Band is probably The Beatles, because I dont care,there is one Beatles song even your grandparents like. Solo they were all at best tolerable, but you put the 4 of them together, they can do proto metal(Helter Skelter) hippy dippy(SgT Peppers) and even swing(Your Mother SHould Know) and folk(Let It Be)
