        Its pretty obvious that GFY'ers have good taste, in general, to be mentioning Led Zepplin so much here.

        Is there any doubt they are one of the greatest rock and roll bands of all time? NO.

        The greats are Led Zepplin, the awesome Rolling Stones, Pink Floyd, The Who, The Beatles. They are dubbed "Supergroups" for a reason.

        Personally, from Zep, I love Black Dog and Stairway like many GFY'ers, but I also love more obscure titles, like the fabulous "No Quarter", or "Kashmir", and too many others to sit here and mention.

                      I believe this could very well be the dumbest statement ever made on GFY.

                        I don't like queen too much but Bohemian Rhapsody is very cool, then Pink Floyd - wish you were here and Learning To Fly and many others, lately I often play Uriah Heep - Easy Livin', but I think that there's no way to select ONE song, there could be a top 20 BANDS selection instead

                                  Zeppelin is by far the best rock band ever, not even a question. The Clash? Fuck the Casbah.

                                          I used to drive my neighbors nuts with that song when I first moved to my own apartment in 1971.

                                          I would have my stereo cranked up, and played it over and over and over and over and over and over and over . . . well, you get the idea.

                                              The Clash SUCK. You've gotta be kidding - they're not even in the same ballpark - not even in the same universe musically.

                                              That's punk "music", not rock. Punk was founded on the belief that you don't even need to know how to play an instrument to be in a band. Bah, no thanks.

                                                There's a difference idiot and obviously you're to young to realize this. Brittany Spears is heavily marketed, Zeppelin wasnt. Zeppelin shyed away from publicity and they became what they were through their talent, Brittany through her looks and marketing. In 30 years people won't know who Brittany Spears was, nor the Clash. They both suck, got it?

                                                  I have to disagree that RMW is the best rock song ever. With that said I'm a HUGE Joe Walsh fan. I love that guy. His old stuff with The James Gang is the shit.

                                                    That's punk "music", not rock. Punk was founded on the belief that you don't even need to know how to play an instrument to be in a band. Bah, no thanks.

                                                    No shit. That Flock of Seagulls crap is all but forgotten.

                                                              I've heard entire Clash albums - heard entire Sex Pistols albums - heard entire pop punk albums from Green Day and Blink 182. I don't especially like any of it - Green Day's new stuff is all right.

                                                              Sid Vicious was quoted as saying he liked punk because you don't need to know how to play an instrument to be in a punk band.

                                                              They were all about stripping it down & just being noisy, not talented. Some people like that style, to me it ain't shit. The Clash had some decent radio songs but to compare them in any way to Led Zeppelin, who were musical geniuses, is pure insanity. Every single member of Zeppelin was amazing - they covered every style of music and did it all well. They revolutionized rock music and redefined the genre forever.

                                                              The Clash had a couple of "ok" songs - they shrink to a inconspicuous speck under the towering shadow of Led Zeppelin.

                                                                          Zep - Stairway to Heaven
                                                                          Eagles - Hotel California

                                                                          I think Zep had the lead for years but the Eagles song has now taken #1 spot as the most played. Each song is kinda mellow (minus the latter parts of Stairway to Heaven). Both good songs but wouldn't be near my top choices.

                                                                          Comment

So much so that Detroit rock stations refused to play stairway to heaven sometime in the early nineties. They were accepted enough by the critics to be inducted to the rock hall of fame.

They sold millions of records and enjoyed constant airplay throughout the seventies and eighties. Led Zeppelin is the most popular rock band of all time and wouldn't have reached that status without the radio.

                                                                                                      I like a bit of zep and a bit of the clash. Funny how punk gets a bad rap from classic rockers. In particular the clash. Download White Riot and 1977. Double A-side from 1977. Killer. The whole point of punk was that ideas and energy were more important than how well you can play your instrument.
