Zepplin is blood and guts from "Dyer Maker" to "Battle of Evermore". Again not a fair comparison. Zepplin had the knowledge of what made Hendrix a monster in the first place and set up ground breaking rifts on there own.
The saddest thing about todays rock is there is no understanding of what music is.
Sorry but things like "Limp Bisquit" or "Blink 182" make rock look stupid. Progression of the art of shred and great composition ended with Nirvana.
There is no Comparison between Nirvana and the rock of yesterday like Zepplin.
Infact...
The first day I heard Nirvana's "Nevermind" is the day I put the guitar down and decided to never pursue professional playing.
I knew the record label's cashed out true musicians for stupid retards.

We're on a similar Page here (fine, pun intended) for the most part. I hear small bits from groups like Hoobastank (sp?) and Blink182 and others and turn to another station because it's just simplistic playing with distortion on overdrive.
While Nirvana was no Zeppelin there was an honesty and integrity in Cobain's style. I think he's closer to Hendrix in some ways than Halen or these new pseudo-rock bands. Fine kill me, I own all of Nirvana's albums. There is real purity there, check out songs on the In Utero album if you want to skip what you heard on the radio from Nevermind.
From a strictly guitar playing standpoint, yes, it all ended with Nirvana. There were other bands like around during that time like Pearl Jam that were still much more rich and versatille when it came to the guitar.
