Nah, Deuce is actually KD Lang, can't you guys remember anything?

and led zepplin isn't fit to suck the who or stone's donkey's dick...

Plus they may also have started the whole wrong spelling in rock n roll thing! That's even worse than their lame ass watered down, white boy britt watered down fake blues thing.

They're also somewhat responsible for heavy metal, boo hiss!

Now Dread Zepplin, they rock! so those limey losers do get some points for providing some proto tunes for them to cover and perfect!

stones and the Who, riding on Beatles coat tails
And wordwide withdrawls when yoko smacked the great man.

Led Zep was a dirty marketing secret that both worked and went global
Sneaking over here white boys on tour Bonham was so a better drummer
than all the others and when he went pop so did the zep I had tics to see them ...
Canceled the tour '79?

thought experiment:

imagine your local county or state fair is having a battle of the bands, the prize is $300 and a gift certificate at Olive Garden. Each of the three bands being discussed here, at its peak, is an entrant.

I cannot even begin to imagine a scenario where Zeppelin does not win in the most convincing manner.

Can anyone imagine the Who or the Stones showing up Zep? Rocking harder or heavier? Having more charisma? It's literally fantastic to think that Zeppelin wouldn't swagger to a blow-out win.

Haha some serious sour grapes on those videos.

There's many ways to judge artists. But you can't discount popularity, it's one of the few things that's objective.

And when you are talking about rock and rock and roll, there's

The Beatles
Elvis Presley
Led Zeppelin

(Pink Floyd and Elton John are also up there)

And then there's everyone else.

Not only are those 3 more popular they also helped create their styles of music and helped define their era. The same can't be said about the others.

There's other more subjective measurements. Led Zeppelin were all considered virtuoso's on their instruments/vocals. Their song writing was amazing. The played a variety of styles, fold, acoustic, eastern, etc. and really along with Black Sabbath created hard rock. Their body of work was large with many great songs and they grew as musicians and song writers.

Really Zep was the end of the eras of a dominant rock start band ruling the airwaves. And we likely won't see it again in this day of so many choices and varying tastes.

The Who was very influential and helped progress rock music and lead the way for progressive rock. Keith Moon was as heavy hitting as Bonham but Bonham's beats and fills were amazing. I have no doubt Bonham could play Moon, but could Moon have played Bonham? Roger Daltry's voice isn't distinctive enough for me to be considered as good a singer as Plant, never mind the range and song writing.

I give the Stones a lot of credit for lasting as long as they have and having an impressive body of work. Still getting along and making music and touring. They really came a long way since learning to write songs watching Lennon and McCartney.

Page's guitar playing and development of what can be done on the guitar blow away anything from the Who or The Stone IMO. Yes Zep lifted a lot of stuff on their early albums but they clearly developed the hell out of it. A LOT of blues is based on earlier blues songs. And I do tend to get Zepplined out. I never really liked Dazed and Confused and their more strung out stuff.

I was thoroughly impressed by Entwistle live. I never realized how good he was. They played well.

The Stones was the biggest rip off concert I ever went to. This was in the mid 90s. Everyone else was charging $25-$35 and they charged $55 for a coliseum show. They were good, but not that good. After that everyone started pumping their rates up, bastards!

SRV was awesome live. But he wasn't as versatile as Plant. Definitely Hendrix derived.

Speaking of Hendrix, he's a good example of someone extremely influential and talented who just wan't going to appeal to the masses as much as other here. Too far out there I guess.

Yes was great in concert. But progressive rock is always going to have a limited (nerdy) audience.

Pink Floyd was awesome live. The spectacle is unsurpassed! And they played well.

I just saw Paul McCartney at the farewell to Candlestick concert. He was amazing. 72 years old and just owning the place. Sounded great.

I've been lucky and have rarely seen a bad show. So many others sounded great, Van Halen were super fun great arena rock, ZZ Top, Aerosmith, Steely Dan, The Eagles, Santana, Journey.

The one classic rock band (still around) that I still need to see is AC/DC.

I'm bummed I'll never get to see Queen, Bob Marley, and Hendrix. Maybe in Heaven.

Funny sh#t here! Now that I'm on a home computer I can't wait to watch those videos of the guys dishing dirt on the pathetic dirigible.

Led zeppelin is the uk version of the monkees, a totally pretend band, made up to sell 45's and tee shirts to teeny boppers! Except at their prime they were all the cute little English one... How the nostalgia for that time slipped into giving them musical prowess, is beyond me, I guess I overestimate the acumen of the human race...

As far as their contemporaries? It's all Kinks baby! Don't even mention the Liverpudlians!

Better guitarists? Well yeah! From the uk alone, jeff beck, Eric Clapton and of course JIMI, the ultimate Britt axman, even if he was American!

A note though, of the three groups mentioned Keith Richards is the Only guitarist with a distinct guitar voice, technical proficiency not withstanding. Jimmy page = walmart. Townsend? An excellent student who never found himself; the windmill guitar? All Richards' as they Both have acknowledged!

imagine the Who or the Stones showing up Zep? Rocking harder or heavier? Having more charisma? It's literally fantastic to think that Zeppelin wouldn't swagger to a blow-out win."...

Locker is that a joke? It's already happened, it's called history! The zep flat out ain't good enough! Led zep with charisma? Kieth could lasar eye stare down the lot of them, like the mashed potatoes they are!

And yeah, Dingus, my thumb is already hurting from the coming show down with Daphne's determined digits!

I'm pretty surprised where folks are throwing down there chips in this thread. It would be terrible to lose the songs from any of these bands, even if the old curmudgeons Pete and Keith do debase themselves with their judgments. Sort of like how Ginger Baker looks like a fool in interviews, even if he was one of the most badass musicians of his day.

I tried hard to like The Who- they have a small handful of all-time classic great songs, truly on my short list of favorites, and the concept of Tommy is interesting, but by and large I find myself bored listening to most of their music. I always feel disappointed... maybe I just never tapped into the right albums or live shows?

Led Zep... they went through some stylistic changes and you can't pin them down as just a blues cover band. They started with something and took it to another level in the realm of blues and celtic acoustic stuff too and glorious mainstream rock. Nobody rocked harder at the time, and yet they weren't just hiding behind distortion and grunting/screaming like so many metal bands that came after. Sure there was plenty of heaviness, plenty of grunting/mini-O's from Plant, but look at "All of My Love" or "Kashmir" or "Babe I'm Gonna Leave You". They became an object of emulation for the next generation. Maybe its a toss-up between the Stones and Zep who has more songs that stand on their own as all-time greats. But both have quite a lot in a variety of rock flavors.


No mention yet of another guitar giant from the era who has aged with grace, has a good attitude (at least in public appearances), and is still making kick-ass new music nearly 50 years later. Like Clapton, he never strayed too far from his niche, but with such a kick-ass niche he doesn't have to stray. He's got plenty to give to the world exploring this area more deeply:

Haha zep a monkees like band. So far off. Jimmy page put together the best musicians he could find and financed and recorded their first album on their own before they even talked to a record company. They held all the chips and demanded absolute artistic freedom from the get go. This was another huge development they ushered in. As opposed to the who who copied the kinks sound at first and the stones who covered buddy holly and were given a Beatles throwaway song as their first ''original' hit.

Have you ever learned to play Bonham or Page? .Any musician whose tried can't help but come away with massive respect.

You can trash their music all you want, it's all personal taste, but to deny their musicianship is just silly.

That was a time that included the Wailers, screaming Jay Hawkins, Jefferson Airplane, flying burrito brothers, quicksilver, the allman bros, Elgin bishop, Paul butterfield, the Ramones, the dead, the residents, and of course chuck berry and little Richard, all the bands that zep wanted to catch up with, and never could, except in sales.

"The best American blues cover band"?
I take it you've never heard Cream, jimi Hendrix, elvyn bishop, Darrell trucks, the jerry Garcia band, and many others...

The thing that bugs me about Zep is that they could play, and they knew the idiom and yet, they consciously chose to be the lowest common denominator, and by choice became a frat boy party band, when individually and collectivly they could each have done so much more.

That's fine, everybody has to make a living. But to compare them to real musicians is a joke.

Their best moments were aspiring to be rush, arrowsmith, journey. ( Edit, Genisis, not journey ) w/o Peter Gabriel, Styx etc. they never were Dylan, Cream, gill scott heron, Laurie Anderson, Mlles, Coltrane,Patsy Cline or any number of people who actually "Led" music into new interesting ways.

I've been listening to the entire contents of my ipod on repeat this summer while doing house projects. Decades of music and nothing repeated yet. I have most Stones, all of Zep and no who whatsoever. This thread has made me realize why I'm always happy when the zep songs come on: they were the only good part of high school for me. Oh I'm a little melodramatic but i grew up in el paso tx, a wasteland. (Sorry pocoloco1).

The only song that i think of when someone mentions the who is 'teenage wasteland'. I have One indelible memory of playing that song at full volume with eight kids in a pickup going way too fast coming back from Juarez to el paso one night.

And yeah Daph, time and place with memories is everything. As a fourteen year old I was so taken with the Who's Tommy album, that I missed the rise and fall of Jimi Hendrix! 58 yr old me finds this perplexing, but I also bought the Jesus christ superstar album out of my paper rte money so who knows what kind of crazy sh#t I was going through back then!

There is a bunch of music I don't especially like, that I will listen towhee it comes up on the radio ( green eyed lady/sugarloaf, crocodile rock, hockey cat, midnight tower, etc) because it is evocative of my high school, questing, growing up, early sexual time.

Zeppelin is defintely in the purple zone here. Owned every album, like everyone I knew, but anymore, meh.
Achilles' Last Stand remains awesome though.

So, I saw the Who a week after Entwistle died, and Robert Plant was the opener.
He had a new album out, but the crowd only went wild when he did Led Zep songs.
It began to visibly annoy him.
So then I went to get some beverages.
Walked out of the concession just as Pete came out on stage and said:
"Fvck off, all of ya."
It was a great show, all the great Who rage songs with no new album to promote and another bandmate to mourn.
"We decided not to dedicate songs to John anymore, because he never shows up for practice."
We ducked out near the end and watched the big Tommy finale from the parking lot.

*Consistently harder rocking.

*Better songs, regardless of thievery.

*Consistently better hooks.

*Better lead guitar.

*Better lead singer.

*Better drummer.

*Better Bass.

A lot of the "lead" in the Who's music came from Mr. Entwistle's bass.

Did you visit Locker recently, and he accidentally locked you in his workshop with the glue cans open? That could explain your bizarre beliefs about music. Well, temporary delusions, not beliefs, because once you recover from the glue hallucinations, you'll probably become rational again.

Zep that did not steal most everything claimed to be owned crashed and burned.


Not incomprehensible, just incomplete. Just try typing on an iPhone, I dare ya.


The Zeppelin that did not gain it's reputation by appropriating the work of others as their own, crashed and burned. Perhaps this one should too.

I still listen to the band though.

Well, yeah.

Had a party in maybe 78 or 79, and we got the idea that it would be fun to play some Zeppelin albums really loud at the 78 rpm setting. Pretty funny, all good fun, then a friend came over and said maybe we should stop, cause it was really offending some people. Looked over through the haze and saw a couple of dudes I didn't know shooting daggers out of their eyes at us. We were profaning their holiest of holies, it seems. But it was our house, heh. Eventually they left.
