Oh I hear ya right back ...... I played in a band that played Van Halen's version of ...Gag!! You Really Got me" & we'd get the same reaction ......Drunks going wild.... :?
& Classic Rock Stations don't help matters either..........they play the same stuff over & over & over refusing to play lesser know but equally good strong songs from all these Artists,.....take a band like the Rolling Stones for instance...we're talking 5 decades of music but the same 20 songs get played on the radio.



Yep. I'd love to be able to cover Winter by the Stones off Goat's Head Soup. However, I'd be the only person in the bar who would know the damn song. Sad, it's a great tune. :(

The Kinks were the best British Invasion band or The Animals. I'm a Clash kid but I also love GREEN DAY, My chemical romance, blink182, the ramones, Zeppelin, Sex Pistols, and a lot more.

Did you know that the original Rock rebels (or punks) besides The Kinks were The Rolling Stones, The Who (even though they were considered Mods) & to some extent
The Yardbirds ( post Clapton after he left the band & was replaced by Jimmy Page....at this point Jimmy Page & Jeff Beck were the guitarist......wow how incredible that must of been to see the yardbirds with Clapton & Beck or Page & Beck).... :)

It's different to see Zep included in that list. At least you have that going for you. Good choice.

Well ........ there's a whole bunch of arists you could include in your Quote along with Led Zeppelin like : Cream, The Who, Jimi Hendrix, Early Jeff Beck, The Rolling Stones & Black Sabbath.....& you'd have to give a tip of the hat to all the early blues artists Like ...Muddy Waters, Robert Johnson, Willie Dixon, Chuck Berry & BB King because they were the one's who influenced the above late 60's bands including Led Zeppelin..... :)

I can. I hate Zepplin with a few very noted exceptions. I'd find more odd if an old school punk rocker actually liked Zepplin. Zepplin and other overblown indulgent bands were everything punk wasn't. Bands like Zepplin made the music business seem inaccessible to the average kid. Ridiculous solos that drone on forever. The average kid back in the day had no ability or time to put into music like that. (you know we had chores and weren't allowed to hang around inside the house)

The vast majority of commercial rock was out of reach of kids forming bands in their garages. Bands like The Ramones and their contemporaries changed that. While I can appreciate the musicianship of the members of Led Zepplin as an instrumentalist. I have ZERO interest in listening to them. Wanky overblown guitar solos grate on my nerves to no end. If a guitarist wants to take 8-16 bars to rip through a slick solo in a bridge or at the end of a song that's fine. I don't want to listen to 10 minutes of a guy who think's he's the greatest thing to happen to guitar and who is mostly ripping off dead blues men. That doesn't do anything for me.

I'd rather listen to The Dead Boys then Zepplin. Then again, most of what passed for "punk" now a days has very little in common with it's namesake.
