zeppelin, hands down. the best band of all time. take out the immigrant song and there is not a single song on the box set that i get tired of listening to.

[Guisslapp]

I like Immigrant Song. Which reminds me...when I went down to VoodooFest this year, they had a female cover band of LZ. They called themselves Lez Zeppelin, and they opened with Immigrant Song.

i like the immigrant song, but i can hear the guitar riff in my head anytime it is mentioned and that is enough for me. i can't stand to listen to the whole thing through any more.

WOW, the 1970's music thread. Finally, a music thread I know a little about. In the 1970's I was into Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Lynard Skynard, Allman Brothers, Queen, Eagles, Boston, Seals and Croft, the outlaws - Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings, David Allen Coe, along with America, and a band called Styx. It wasn't at the time but now Styx is my favorite band of the 1970's. Of course, the Eagles are right up there. I saw Styx in concert a couple of years ago and hope to get to see the Eagles on their latest reunion tour.

You are right. My Dixie card should be revoked for forgetting that.

[randerizer]

I'll vote Floyd, although I really have no gripe with Zep winning.

I think you are missing some Bob Marley and Eric Clapton.

I have Exodus and Natty Dread from Marley on the list. You are right about Clapton.
