There is a bit of machismo in some classic rock, but there's also some christian preaching in Marvin Gaye and Bob Dylan, but they're still some of the best artists ever.

The Who is great as well. Quadrphenia, Who's Next, The Who Sell Out... all incredible albums. Not to mention Tommy, which is one of the greatest albums ever recorded, in my opinion.

The San Fran bands rock pretty hard too, man! Jefferson Airplane, Janis, Greateful Dead... that shit is gold!

Dazed and Confused is the song that got me into Zeppelin. ;)

Cream is a bit overrated. Led Zeppelin is one of my 4 favourite bands (the other 3 being the Beatles, Pink Floyd and King Crimson, if you want to know). Jimi Hendrix is another of my favourites. The Who was a great band too. Queen is "ok". Jefferson Airplane are overrated. The Grateful Dead...well, I'm not very familiar with them, if anyone is, tell me which album should I hear to get into them. The Rolling Stones are also overrated but they have some great songs (Gimme Shelter, No Expectations, Midnight Rambler, Rocks Off, Tumbling Dice, Paint It Black, etc.)

Anyone likes the Kinks? They were pretty good.

the who, live at leeds
one of my favorite albums

Agree

Not to mention Tommy, which is one of the greatest albums ever recorded, in my opinion.

No. 8/10.

Dazed and Confused is the song that got me into Zeppelin.

You're not the only one, actually. Hearing that second riff "changed my life".

Don't forget the San Francisco bands: Grateful Dead,Santana,Janis Joplin,Quicksilver Messenger Company,and Jefferson Airplane. Hell yeah man!

Dazed and Confused is the song that got me into Zeppelin. One of my favorite movies ever. Do they have a sound track for it?

Yes, they already have been.

They were the frst real heavy metal band, and as such everyone else has been building on what they made.

Personally I think that Deep Purple, Rainbow, Thin Lizzy, T Rex, ZZ Top, Whitesnake, Status Quo, def leppard, etc were better that Led Zeppelin.

Don't get me wrong, i like the Immigrant song, a whole lot of love, etc. But just not as much as I like, Emerald, Armageddon it, Caroline, Smoke on the water, etc.

Def Leppard suck in copmparison to most anything. And did someone mention Whitesnake?? While some talented people may have played in that band they are a quintessential cock rock band that suck big time. Talented people don't always make good music. ZZTop were better before they became ZZTop40.

From 0 to 10, it gets an 8 to my ears.

Absolutely. I still don't get why are they so unknown. I mean, shitty bands like Kiss, Iron Maiden, the Backstreet Boys, Van Halen, Cinderella, Creed, Linkin Park, Limp Biskit and Hoobastank and basically all the worst music ever is more popular, sells more records and is more respected than them. Which leads me to think that people has severe mental problems.

Will Led Zep ever be topped? Is it even posible? The Velvet Underground is relatively unkown but is seriously trippy and deep.

Well, if you only listen to hair metal and such crap, of course not. But even if I really like them, they're SOOOOOOOOO overrated...

They were the frst real heavy metal band, and as such everyone else has been building on what they made.

They were not heavy metal. And by the way, they weren't as "innovative" as the masses seem to think.

Don't get me wrong, i like the Immigrant song, a whole lot of love, etc.

Please don't tell me your view is based on 2 or 3 songs...

In a word: -

no

Any band which has a drummer with only one arm gets my vote.

And wasn't Deep Purple the first 'real' rock band?

Again: -

no

No they were releasing their first studio albums within like 4 months of each other, only differance is Deep Purple's first album was far more pop than rock, unlike Led Zep.

They were not heavy metal.

Hard rock, heavy metal. Take your pick, a lot of songs can go in either catagory.

Please don't tell me your view is based on 2 or 3 songs...

Don't worry on that score, I don't liesten to any led zep after Led Zeppelin IV, but I've head a fair bit.

PS Iron maiden are not a shit band, the fact that you catagorised them with bands such as Linkin park is very worring.

As I recall he was once arrested for using that one arm to beat his wife. And I also seem to recall hearing that he uses a modified kit and that live they actually have used two drummers, he and someone else. Their songs are also really really lame. "Pour Some Sugar on Me"? They also fit the bill of quitessential cock rock band. I'm actually quite amazed that you like them since your musical tastes while heavily biased towards Manic Street Preachers (don't get me wrong they are good), seem respectful enough.

Dr. Rosenpenis

6th January 2005, 04:40

Not to sound too condescending, I think I just lost all respect for your music taste, Enigma.

Personally I think that Deep Purple, Rainbow, Thin Lizzy, T Rex, ZZ Top, Whitesnake, Status Quo, def leppard, etc were better that Led Zeppelin.

Deep Purple was an average band. They had some great tunes, but not many, and they were probably a little too "metal" for me. More metal, less blues. Not like Zeppelin.

ZZ Top was pretty damn bluesy and they made some great songs, but nowhere near as good as Zepp.

Whitesnake sucks a lot. If their most successful song is a ballad, then that tells you something about their shittyness.

And wasn't Deep Purple the first 'real' rock band?

Where do you get this?
I think Chuck Berry may have beaten them by about 15 years. :lol:

And by the way, they weren't as "innovative" as the masses seem to think.

This is very true.
Dozens of their songs were blatant rip offs of blues songs. And the true composers were very, very seldom given credit. This is a huge turn off for me. And the blues are better anyways.

Don't worry on that score, I don't liesten to any led zep after Led Zeppelin IV, but I've head a fair bit.

Why?
You're missing out on a lot!
Houses of the Holy is in my opinion, one of the best. Even though they did move away from blues, but not into metal, as a lot of their contemporaries did. They moved towards more keyboard oriented pop-rock, but not until much later.

No band comes close to Zep. They have so many awesome songs. They have a great range, from deep ,political,trippy,plain rockin' out music, to romantic ballads if you like that. Their music is the soundtrack to my life.

Deep Purple are gods.

Just aint true.

Whitesnake sucks a lot. If their most successful song is a ballad, then that tells you something about their shittyness.

What gains popularity and what is good are two totally different issues.

I think Chuck Berry may have beaten them by about 15 years.

I think he meant hard rock.

Why?

Just never gotten round to buying it...

but not into metal

they had more than enough of that in their early stuff. If they aren't metal then later metal bands sure have ripped from them, big style.

To be honest, while I really like Led Zeppelin, I just don't find them as good as other bands.

PS anyone who doesn't like thin lizzy and claims to be a fan of classic rock needs to be hung by their genitals, covered in caramel then attacked by a swarm of angry hornets.

Led Zeppelin's songs are different the one from the other, and they all have a nice melody.I think Deep Purple were a bit harder rock than them.My dad, when he was young and still now, loves DeepPurple, however I prefer LedZep even If I think that DP's first singer's vioce was better than Plant's.

I could fucking listen to Bob Dylan all day
...and love every second of it.

Try listening to Like a Rolling Stone, Highway 61 Revisited, Tangled up in Blue, Idiot Wind, Blowin in the Wind, Masters of War, Just Like a Woman, Desolation Row, Tombstone Blues, Shelter from the Storm, Simple Twist of Fate, Visions of Johanna, and Mr. Tambourine Man.

Jimi Hendrix, Led Zeppelin, Jethro Tull, the Who, Stones, Beatles, Doors, Queen, Janis(although I don't think she's rock..), Deep Purple, Pink Floyd(but again were they classic rock?), Thin Lizzy, Status Quo, Dylan(rock?maybe folk in the beginning and then rock) and many more were so great but hard rock and metal bands are very nice as well.

Yes, indeed.
Not so much metal.... but (almost) all of the bands you mentioned are awesome.

Classic rock isn't really a musical genre, but just a period. It's any mainstream rock music made before 1990, really.

Pink Floyd was psychedelic and then prog, but since they made it into the mainstream they're put into that category of classic rock.

Led Zeppelin's songs are different the one from the other, and they all have a nice melody.I think Deep Purple were a bit harder rock than them.My dad, when he was young and still now, loves DeepPurple, however I prefer LedZep even If I think that DP's first singer's vioce was better than Plant's.

Zeppelin definitely a lot better than Deep Purple.
Do you mean Rod Evans of Deep Purple's mach I? (:lol:) Or Ian Gillan? Gillan was good. Evans was nothing special.

You mean Sabbath without Ozzy singing???

I think Sabbath's best years were the first 5 or 6 albums. I never cated much for Technical Ecstasy, and Never Say Die was crap. After that they really became ridiculous, how many singers did they have? Shit at one point Iommi was probably the only original member, it became an ego trip for him.

I don't know if they are still together and if so who sings for them and I don't care to know. I heard that there was a reunion but Ozzy was spent a long time ago and you really can't recreate some things and they are often better left buried. I'm rambling, I know. Sabbath with Ozzy in the early years were great, after that they sucked and once Ozzy left they should have changed the name of the band.

Dr. Rosenpenis

9th January 2005, 04:59

Why is Ozzy's voice shitty?I think his voice was exactly for his songs.I mean the sound of Black Sabbath, matched with Ozzy's voice.In the beginning I thought it was a bit irritating, but then I got used to it.Think of National Acrobat, which is a great song, and you'll see that's it's not that bad!I agree with celtopunk.

Now, Bob Dylan made great songs but sometimes I can't stand his voice.I couldn't listen to him all day, but I could lisyen to Hurricane all day!I think it's his best song.The others, hmm ok, nice lyrics but again he pretended(at least in the beginning of his career)to be a leftist.He wasn't.He wrote those lyrics in order to keep his audience, and he has admitted that.

Ian Gillan was actually not the first vocalist. Rod Evans was.

Bob Dylan's voice doesn't bother me at all.
His music is also mellow, which helps me to be able to listen to it all day. I have a slight thing against heavy music. I can only take in limited amounts.

Yngwie Malmsteen I find quite good, well the 80's work anyway, I haven't really heard of any of the more modern stuff. I like his blend of classic rock music, Metal and classical tunes played on an electric guitar. His take on Icarus' Dream Suite Op.4 is probably one of the best songs I have in my collection. I don't care much the singing i've, but who needs to sing when you can play guitar like that? Seriously this guy is like just a few steps below Hendrix (who is a god).

Personally I think the best guitarist is Joe Satriani, having heard a bit of his stuff I was absolutly blown away by it, it isn't my favourate stuff by any means, but even I could tell that what I was listening too was impressive. According to a guy I know Satriani is a guitar snobs guitarist. Same with Steve Via, who I only recently found out was actually taught by Joe Satriani. Kirk Hammett and Larry LaLonde were also taught by this guy, which I think is very impressive.

The point was that I find Ozzy to be a terribly shitty vocalist.
The other members were excelent musicians, though...
Please, someone first delete my 2nd double post cos it was made by mistake(my pc sucks)

I don't find Ozzy's voice shitty at all, I just can't think of Black Sabbath without Ozzy being Black Sabbath.

Hmmmmm... well, I personally don't think Ozzy is all that bad of a vocalist. I saw them last summer (with all original members :D ) and he can still sing good. As far as Sabbath's stuff with Ronnie James Dio, I'm not too familiar with it.

In my opinion i think Jim Morrison (or as i like to call him James Dougles Morrison), is the best vocalist in the classic rock era. He had the voice that just made you wonder. Just listen to the End you'll understand. Also i think the The Doors, Jimi, Jefferson Airplane, Grateful Dead, The Beatles (after 1964 <_< ), Lef zepp isn't the greatest band of the classic rock age. They're overrated and over played. But I still injoy a good led zepp song here ands there.

Who do you think was the best singer of the classic rock age?

I agree. Bands too often continue on after a key member leaves for one reason or another, and while in some cases that band may still be good, they should probably go by a different name. A good example of this was the Pogues. Once Shane left/got kicked out whichever it was they should have started calling themselves something different.
