True that. The Beatles set the mark and led the way to entire genres of music.

I like Zeppelin, me and my father use to go videoke singing their songs everytime. We love singing Nazareth and beetles songs too.

check out tenacious D.. :thumbsup

U2 is up there anyway...

As for Radiohead, I fucking hate them... I have no idea why they are as popular as they are, such fucked up computer generated crap.

Someone gets the reason.

I posted this elsewhere.

The BIG difference today is the way most pop and rock songs are marketed. Back in the 50/60/70s the way to get it sold was via the radio. The song had to be good to get it played, or popular at that moment.

Today it's about the videos on MTV. Yes the pop videos of today are some of the ever, the songs are not.

Add to this the way bands rose in the early days and the way they rise now and you can see why the MUSIC of today is of a lower quality than it was in the 60s. The Beatles had been playing in clubs and pubs for years before they made. Today a band is over and gone in the time it used to take for them to learn their trade. Writing, singing and performing music.

The biggest difference today is the money men control the business, you are not allowed to get stars so big they are in control. Back in the early days the marketing men had no clue, so the bands developed. Today they are in, up and gone in less time than some took learn.

Funny story about LZ. On their day they were amazing, high as kites they sometime floated off in different directions. Saw them in the 70s when they started to play the next number in the show.

The problem was they all started to play a different song, then tried to change to the other guys song. A kind of musical train wreck.

Any ideas?

Also who do you think is the best band currently together and still performing?

Some say Radiohead and others say U2. Who do you think?

radio is awesome, wolfmother is out they sound similar to zeppelin.. but hes a classic, cant compare.. most music is based on these people lol

One band that is as good and does progress is TOOL.

What the hell is this all about? Led Zeppelin aint the best band on earth. Not even as close as U2!

I think Paul Markam summed it up pretty succinctly...

"Today a band is over and gone in the time it used to take for them to learn their trade. Writing, singing and performing music."

"The biggest difference today is the money men control the business, you are not allowed to get stars so big they are in control. Back in the early days the marketing men had no clue, so the bands developed. Today they are in, up and gone in less time than some took learn."

There seems to be an interesting parallel between the music industry and the adult industry these days. Those that take the Time to Learn and Cultivate their trade will have the best chance to develop a successful long term business while those that rely on the Hype will realize once the hype is gone then so is the business.
