btw did y'all see Page closing out the Olympics last year with Whole Lotta Love. LOL he was just waving his arms, I'm sure his guitar wasn't turned on. He stopped to wipe the sweat from his brow but the riff went on. They stole that tune from Willie Dixon by the way.
That was the first band that sprung to mind when I read the thread title. I came in here expecting to be the only person to nominate Zepplin and to get ripped for it. They were a very good rock band. That's it. They did nothing to deserve the rock-gods status which has been ascribed to them. This guy at my school tried to tell me that they were better and more influential than the Beatles. Were it socially acceptable I would have challenged him to a duel.
