To insinuate that someone listens to music that others do not simply to look cool... is absurd. My dad likes really obscure bagpipe music, he certainly does not like it to look cool. I have a friend who is obsessed with hungarian folk music, and not because it makes him look cool. I have my niche, you have yours.
Yours is prepackage corporate garbage, mine is not. Your music is an insult to my intelligence.
Whats the difference between Led Zep, Pink Floyd, and a Big Mac?
Absolutely nothing.

Come on now, you can't say Led Zep and Pink Floyd are even in the same category. Just because they're "classic rock" now, doesn't mean they were then.
Pink Floyd made their stuff, and if you read interviews with them, they say quite plainly that the stuff they were making wasn't popular. They did it for "arts" sake.
As for Led Zep, they were always a rock band.. Both of these bands were before the whole "Manufacture the artist" thing came around, and they're both amazing bands.
Overrated, who gives a shit? I don't subscribe to any ratings magazine, or listen to music radio for that matter.
They're two examples of good things that came out of the 70s.
