Chuck Berry , Elvis, Johnny Cash. Without them, no modern rock and roll F7Bengay.

Indeed.  I had actually written up a nice paragraph about it,then got distracted before I could submit it...then z stole my thunder :lol:. I think modern rock gets deeper too...I'm pretty sure the blues bands from way back had a big part in it too

Some of Led Zeppelins songs are from old blues bands...like this song for example....

Best ever is zeppelin. Anyone who disagrees is an idiot. :news:

I've never been an all out fan of zep but I recently heard a live rendition from like 1972. It was about 27 minutes long and it may have been the best live performance I have ever heard.

Gotta give props to KISS.  Marginal talent but damn!  Those boys knew how to put on a show!  It's still a band I'll let play on the radio when I run across them.  

Organ music.  I can't do it.  

WORTHLESS TRIVIA!  Did you know that Morrison started singing on stage with his back to the audience?  He was too nervous to face them at first.

Marginal talent :lol:

zeppelin like most musicians stole from previous musicians.  But as far as hard rock bands go there is no better.

Appetite for Destruction is arguably one of the greatest hard rock album of all times.  Had use your illusion been cut to the best songs it would be in the top 10 as well.

I like some of their tunes...hell, its hard not to find a half dozen or so out of what?  25 albums.  But they are probably the best self promoting marketeers EVER in rock music.  There isn't a person on this planet that doesn't recognize that band from one of their painted faces.  I mean...FUCKING BRILLIANT!!!

I watched Val Kilmer do that movie about them though. Pretty interesting.

Yup, I burned myself out on the Zeppelin,

My GF in high school  mom had a bitching record collection. We spent months in her basement blaring every Album and banging like rabbits.
