I celebrate the guys' entire catalogue.

Those 4 guys blended into something that's simply unparalleled.

Even tracks that I thought that I didn't really like, when I go back and listen closely there are so many little subtle fills by JP or amazing thunder from Bonzo I can't really dislike them. I wasn't really a fan of The Lemon Song, but after listening to all of the little nuggets that Page puts in, I end up liking it too.

Nice Office Space reference.

I love the drop. Many of Zeppelin's songs have folk elements, and the blues, at first, but they always have the best drops into classic rock riffs. Not to mention the lyrics. Nice to find a kindred Zeppelin soul.

... and even a little bit of reggae (Dy'er Mak'er). They took chances and somehow always made it work.

... and even a little bit of reggae (Dy'er Mak'er). They took chances and somehow always made it work.

And sometimes classical with the orchestras or country (Hot Dog). I even heard Page strumming some disco (forget the song, but it would have been before the front edge of the late 70s wave of disco... maybe from PG in '76). But LZ/Page mainly blends a lot of acoustic folk with electric blues into their own brand of Rock.

Please dont be offended, everybody has one..butb I think the stones are one of the most overrated bands ever. I dig about 3 of their songs, and like them a bunch, those 3, but it took an about a dozen albums and 30 years to make em. I know, from the eclectic group of music I dig, that there are probably several you would hate..music is very individual in taste..

Great call guys posting the pumpkins, 1979 was great, as well as RHCP...and I dont like all their stuff, but blood sugar sex magik was a great album, under the bridge, breaking the girl, soul to squeeze, calfornication,suck my kiss...flea was one of the best, funkiest bassist of my lifetime. Also staind, aaron lewis has great voice, love mudshovel too...never much liked Dave Matthews band, but went to a concert with a friendgirl of mine, most pretty girls I have ever seen in 1 place at 1 time...thousands. he put out an album, live at butler college, with Tim Reynolds, who is an AMAZING hired gun guitarist...great album. Has songs nowhere else recorded, and solo tracks of Reynolds on 12 string blistering...anybody here like Deftones? Adrenaline is a good heavy album... a perfect circle, Judith etc...RAGE, nearly every thing they recorded. Only politically active group to make waves in my youth..

The Stones certainly aren't musically overrated if you concentrate on their run a few years before and after 1970. They clearly took over as the biggest deal in Rock and Roll as the Beatles were shutting down. Compare their stuff to the rest of the music from that primitive era. They peaked nearly a decade before MTV changed the direction of music. They've added little in the last 40 years. Instead they're living breathing icons from that time. They're really unparrarelled in that they're nearly intact as an enterprise that keeps on as a going concern. They aren't a tribute band like Skynyrd has been for 35 years... they're the originals. They're like a museum, not a music factory that's been re-inventing themselves and cranking out ground breaking stuff for the nearly 60 years that they've been going.

If you aren't a fan of the late 60s thru 70s RNR you aren't going to appreciate their body of work.

No offense taken man, music is a personal thing.

Looks like you got all the groups from the crappy part of the 90s

Sublime being the exception.

Thanks, I cringed posting it...I worked for years with a guy from NY who had seen them about 10 times live, and he took it very, very personally if i criticized them. I like music from the 60s and 70s, just only a couple of their songs. I love Floyd (know you do, too) and really like Zep the Doors, CSNY, Fleetwood Mac, Lskynrd, James taylor,yardbirds, Allman bros, patsy cline(not really country?) , Simon and garfunkle, John Denver, Dr hook, Alabama (border line southern rock, too) that's plenty off the top of my head, and a couple of those only had a couple good songs as well...but they aren't first ballot HOF members with a cult following worldwide, either...no thing personal against them, just never understood all the hype, and maybe that Yankee ruined me with them, too...lol...there are some really good song writers listed here, too... indidnt know until fairly recently what a great writer Kriss Kristofferson is either...dude was a Rhode scholar, and went to West Point, also...so even with mind bending amounts of drugs, And enough booty to kill a dozen pirates, he was STILL good enough to write Grammy winning songs, beat out 99.99% of American kids for a Scholly to Oxford in England, and get into and attend west point...not sure if he graduated or got commissioned as a LT...but he accomplished more by about 23 years old than most do in 2 lifetimes...
