Ok, I can tell I'll probably be lynched for making such an absurd comment, but....and yes, I DO appreciate classic rock, so its not a bias against the genre, but......Neither the Stones or Led do much for me. Hell, I don't like the BEATLES, or at least a good share of their music. I've tried to get into them, feeling like I at least ought to TRY to like 'em, but none of the three bands I mentioned has more than 5 songs that really stand out to me. I'll always love "Paint it Black" by the stone, and who doesn't love "Whole Lotta Love" "When the Leny breaks" and "Stairway to Heaven"? But overall, its just not my thing. I like classic rock, but give me Sabbath over the Stones, and The Doors over Zep, any day of the week and twice on Sundays!!!!. Hell, Lynard Skynard ranks higher on my lists than either band I know they are classics that laid the foundation for much of the music I love, but try as I might, I'll never understand the fanaticism these two bands attract. I would never spend a dime to purchase music by either of the options listed
No worries man, different strokes for different folks. But the Stones nor Beatles have reached me either. I can definately get into some Led songs though.
