Bands that you can't stand
-
Page is freaking amazing. There are so many catchy riffs and licks that he plays, and when you combine it with his technical prowess, I don't think anyone aside from Jimi comes close. Hendrix would probably be my #1 if he didn't die early - there's so much he left on the table. Anyways, I don't care who you are or what you listen to, I guarantee that there is a Led Zeppelin song that you like. While I love The Who, I don't think I could say the same thing about them
Certainly there are LZ songs that I like. (Kashmere....Cashmir sp? among the best) Are you saying there are no Who songs you like? Seriously?
Of course, the one thing about Page is that he was a ripoff artist on occasion. Whole Lotta Love was almost an exact rip from a previous a Small Faces/Willie Dixon song......uncredited and which Page claimed was his own composition...even the lyrics. A 1985 lawsuit against him by Dixon was settled in Dixon's favor. Don't think so? Listen:
Do you watch CSI?

I don't think it was the only one either. It is one thing to do a cover of another band/artist's song. The Beatles et al did many of those...but acknowledged it. But to blatantly take a song and give no credit to the originator...and to claim credit for yourself.....has always made me leary of Led Zep.
In fact here is a whole list of them.
Apparently they have even been accused of ripping off their seminal piece of work: Stairway to Heaven. At least the intro....from this song:
It is pretty clear that they did. (yes, the Spirit song came out first)

I'd never heard any of this but it makes a fairly damning case. Wasn't "when the levee breaks" an old blues song too?
-
That's a fairly common type of roof for anyone who plays guitar. I don't think you can copyright a chord pattern so despite some similarity I don't see a rip. I thought the Sam Smith Tom Petty dust up was inadvertent also.
There is probably no pop song in the world the doesn't have a few notes from somewhere else. Almost impossible to avoid.

Yea, but Whole Lotta Love was notes/lyrics etc.
And while I think that Stairway to Heaven intro was taken from Spirit....there at least they did an entire whole other song that was apparently original.

Like I say you can't copyright a chord progression. The Spirit song and stairway were just almost basically the same chords but not the same inversions or played the same way.Yea, but Whole Lotta Love was notes/lyrics etc.

Of course, George Harrison got the shit for ripping off He's So Fine when he Wrote My Sweet Lord.

The Who and Zeppelin are the same to me now-a-days.
They are played way too much and I could go the rest of my life without hearing either of them ever again.
That being said, back in the 70's when I started listening to Rock and Roll, I liked the Who better.

There has been this great debate: Who was #3 behind the Beatles and the Stones of the great British Invasion bands. Most advocated for either Led Zeppelin or The Who.
But in my mind, it was no contest. It was The Who.
I may be wrong - and I AM being anal - but not sure that either The Who or Led Zepplin qualify as 'British Invasion' Bands. Maybe the early Who.
Any way, The Kinks, The Animals, Herman's Hermits, The Zombies, Hollies, etc. are better categorized as being part of the British Invasion.
How about Jerry and the Pacemakers, WSS?

The Kinks were/are better then all those other bands you mentioned. IMO

I despise black sabbath. They're horrible. The only song I sort of like is "fairies wear boots"
Early man walked away as modern man took control. Their minds weren't all the same and to conquer was their goal. So He built his great empires and he slaughtered his own kind, and he died a confused man and killed himself in his own mind... -

That's what makes this thread funny. Music is so subjective, it's as tough to debate as politics.
Sabbath has been my favorite since Vol. 4 came out in 1973. I still listen to them, especially at the gym with my ear buds. Their 1st 8 albums with Ozzy, were great. Then Dio hopped in and while different, they still jammed. Ozzy as a solo artist, I don't like a whole lot.
Tony Iommi and Jimmy Page are masters of the guitar in my opinion.
Bands I can't stand is a tough one. Certain genres, like rap, I can't stand. I guess if I had to name one that I never understood how popular they are, it would be U2.

Its a foolish endeavor to debate taste in anything. Cant really do it. Arguing about music would be comparable to arguing whether pizza tastes good. It one thinks it tastes bad, then it tastes bad. Same deal with music/art/etc. People probably only debate these things to add confirmation that their own taste is best.
I always thought Black Sabbath was just ok, but the Heaven and Hell album(with Dio) was amazing!
