    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.

    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.

  • @the-gipper said:

    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

    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!

    Ya jjust us cool guys like it 🙂
  • Some really great bands drawing hate... To each his own...

    There are only a few that make me change the station...

    Kiss, Golden Earing and Foghat top that list for me along with Phil Collins... although some of his Genesis stuff is listenable. It just pales vs. the Peter Gabriel led efforts.

    As others have pointed out there are plenty of Rock sub-genres I generally steer clear of. But most will still have a group or two I can enjoy. A couple have even achieved guilty pleasure status only to be revealed in the midst of a good drunk with good friends.

    There've been a few groups over the years that have worked their way off my "no play" list.

    The Doors are one example. Bought a remastered, 2-CD "Best of..." 12 years ago or so just because I did not own any so there was a hole that needed filling. Working late one night I spun it as background and ended up shelving the work and going into one of those magical midnight listening sessions. So friggin' musical...

    Another was AC/DC... pretty much the same story. Filled the hole with a couple remastered LPs when BMG cleared out their stock a decade or so ago. Ended up a very late blooming fan...

  • so much for having open minds.....

    isn't art like undistinguishable from one to another's viewpoint?

    lot of music sucks. so does people and cars and dogs and cats and polar bears and the cold air and peyton manning and your sister's ass and cats and cats..
