You have to look at the quantity of great songs. No one ever played on more great songs than Hopkins, Elton and Leon Russell

If you goofs want to learn about great music then check out the Wrecking Crew which were the greatest studio musicians of the 1960. They were the ones that played on many of the great records, not the musicians you thought about. They were working 16 hours a day in the studio churning out classics

This will explain more about the Wrecking Crew and why Leon Russell was so great

Here is the Brian Wilson (Beach Boys) forum talking about Leon Russell who played piano on their records. Russell was also the band leader for the Legendary Mad Dogs and Englishmen supergroup, collaborator with George Harrison and Elton John and Cher and Phil Spector

Once again, his body of work doesnt match the others

Anyone that listens to Led Zeppelin after 21 is a prancing posing dicklicker.

Bwahahahahaha. Good music is timeless and Led Zeppelin will always be a band the crosses generations. They are 1 band that will always be in style.

Not buying it. Heavyhanded players, stole tons of material.

 

[BearFanJohn]

I, too, think LZ is over-appreciated. And the possibility that they did take work from others doesn’t help. I get why some may like them but not me.

 

[Leomaz]

A ton? Of material..... bwahahahahaha

"Between 1965 and 1968 hardly a week went by without a record release featuring Nicky on keyboards."

Same could be said about John Paul Jones and Jimmy Page

I would say John Paul Jones of Led Zeppelin was a pretty damn good keyboardist as well. Played on many great songs

If you are over 21 years old and still like Zeppelin you are a morn and will have a shitty life

Zep is the perma-GOAT. /thread

Trucks band is a poor, cheap, and watered-down imitation of Allman Brothers. And they mail in way too many of their live shows. Pass.
