ND is horrible.
All three born out of post war Britain.

All three nourished on Muddy Waters and Mississippi delta (and diaspora) blues that trickled in from UK merchant marines coming back from the States.

All three immortals of the genre...

You decide.

This one is tough. It has to be the Beatles, but the Stones have tons of hits. Stones tunes sure are fun to cover, too. So much room to jam. Zep never did anything for me.

Never was a Beatles fan. Tough call on the other two. Hate to say it, but I listened to the Rolling Stones more than I ever did Led Zeppelin. Not really sure why, because the latter are pretty great too.

Damn you for creating this unholy thread.

Zep was late to the party and I was never a big fan of Robert Plant.

Rough choice between the Stones and the Beatles, but I give the nod to the Beatles for knowing when to quit.

(Seriously, Mick....just enjoy being an old fart)

That would explain you thinking Chesney is a better musician than Garth Brooks....just bad taste.

Sorry brah, THERE CAN ONLY BE ONE!!!

The Beatles and the Stones at least credit the artists they use. **** Zeppelin.

Ph plz, that's such old news...cmon bro, who is the best at playing teh musicz?

Agree on the RS touring forever; disagree on Plant. Guy is a fkn bauss.

Keith Richards is proof zombies are already among us.

Agreed, 3rd place to me.

I gotta go LZ, and I am dismayed to see the hate apparently people have for them.

My argument:

You can make the case each band mate was the best at his given role/instrument of all time. Now I wouldn't make that case for LGuitar especially, but the case can easily be made.

Solid strawman on your part. I've never stated that Chesney is a better musician than Brooks.

What did you say/?

I will then probably respond that you have bad taste if you express a preference for Chesney in any way.

I never cared for Brooks music. Chesney is much better. It's likely I feel that way because of where I was in life at the point Brooks hit it big. His style didn't resonate at all. If you don't agree with me your musical taste is crap. See how that works? It isn't very constructive.

Acknowledging Zep stole quite a bit of material, I still have to go with them.

The material was garbage before they stole it, otherwise they wouldn't have been able to steal it.

Page is the best guitarist of the three bands imho, and bonham had that unique sound. In a vacuum I'd go with led Zeppelin all day every day.

Love all three, but the Stones are the only ones where I can turn them on at anytime and just listen. Sometimes, I'm just not in the mood to listen to Zeppelin or the Beatles.
