                        Say it like that and you would be correct. I had to vote for Zep, as they're the greatest band of all time, but I love The Who, so they get an honorable mention. Floyd is good as well, but not quite on par with the other two.

                          The way I general see it

                          1st. Dylan/Stones/Beatles

                          2nd. Zeppelin/Clash/Elvis/Hendrix

                          3rd. Who/Kinks/VU/Doors

                            Bob Dylan isn't a band and the Beatles and Rolling Stones, while probably the two most important bands in history, weren't really that great of musicians, at least when compared with the guys in Led Zep. Zeppelin has an influence that rivals or possibly exceeds that of the Beatles or Rolling Stones, plus all the members were amazing musicians. That's why I rank them #1.

                              yes page/bonham!!/jones were better musicians than the others, but the beatles and stones made better albums and wrote more great songs than zeppelin.
