Led Zeppelin
“I wonder if the people who voted the other bands have ever heard Led Zep. You listen to them and then you listen to the rest and there's light years difference. Jimmy Page is God, man.”
“Jimmy Page, Robert Plant, John Paul Jones, and the late John Bonham....Led Zeppelin; four individuals from differing backgrounds with diverse personalities and creativity came together composing, producing, and performing music without limits.
They are legendary and formed the backbone of what "hard rock" is defined as today. Jimmy Page was and still is the heart and soul of Led Zeppelin. They deserve their rightful place as the number one rock band of all time.”
“Led Zeppelin were four prodigiously talented musicians who created a stellar body of work that has aged better than any of their contemporaries. Their dominance of rock music for a decade, and continuing extraordinary influence is every bit the equal of the Beatles. I give Led Zeppelin the slight nod over the Beatles for greatest band of all time, because they accomplished all this strictly on the strength of their albums and live performances, in spite of a hostile media and for the most part, clueless tunnel vision music critics. Because they never courted the press, Led Zeppelin remain to this day, the most popular entertainment phenomenon, to be so little known or understood outside of their enormous following. As the years roll on, all that will matter is the music they created, and that is why the towering stature of this band will continue to grow.”
“Listen, I LOVE every single band here in the top ten list, but this is sickening... why in the world is Led Zeppelin in 5th? NO BAND knew what rock was more than Led Zeppelin. Bands today hail them as gods. They are the most influential, inspiring and talented Rock band, or even just band of all time... even if you prefer the Beatles sound more, I'm sorry, but as far as Rock music goes in its pure form, Led Zeppelin takes first.”
“A Band with 4 members that are all the best of all time at what they did no doubt at all, the greatest band of all time. Period.”
“Rock's greatest and most influential band is Led Zeppelin. P.S. It's obvious that a well known notorious Queen fan has slanted and distorted most of the poll results. Queen were a great band, but they are not remotely in the same league as Led Zeppelin or the Beatles, in terms of popularity (record sales) or influence and stature. Just as an example, Led Zeppelin IV, just one Zep album, has nearly outsold the entire Queen catalouge of albums. I know that sheer numbers don't directly mean greatness, but in this case they do provide perspective and reveal influence and impact. When it comes to great bands, in every conceivable way, it's Zeppelin and the Beatles, and then everybody else.”
“you cant beat Zeppelin, Robert Plant, Jimmy page, John Bonham, and John paul Jones, they are my idols
”
“There is only a debate about who is #2.Led Zeppelin is and will always be the greatest rock band of all time hands down you just cant compare ANY other band ever. There music will live on for ever, just look at the talent they had each member of the band was one of the top 3 at what they do.no other band can compare.I've worked for A lot of good bands and they all say the same thing when asked the question LED ZEPPELIN....”
“Jimmy Page....
Robert Plant....
John Paul Jones....
John Bonham....
Four people....
One sound....
The greatest rock band of all time.Spanning almost all sub-genres of rock,many have trye to sound like this influentiul band,none have even come within 500 billon miles of it,that song will remain the same untill the end of time.ZOSO
”
“well said bobby, in conclusion
zep took roll out of rock!!!”
“what the hell is led zeppelin doin in second sure i don't mind metalica but frig led zeppelin is awesome”
“Kashmir and Stairway to Heaven Nuf said there but there are tons more songs. Greatest ever
”
“should be number 1”
“Queen does not compare to Zeppelin...and Zeppelin was far from a fad”
“Quite honestly, with the consistent musical genius, the mystique surrounding the band, and the overall attitude toward just making good music and the fact that they are still ridiculously revolutionary, leaves no doubt. Zep is clearly the best band of all time musically. The Beatles as far as song-writing ability would be the only challenger as far as best band of all time, but they are more revolutionary and lyric-based. Zeppelin was all about the music. (And whoever put Metallica as number one? Are you required to smoke crack to put in your opinion here? )”
“c'mon metallica is good but led zeppelin is GREAT! this should be number 1.. to all those who vote for metallica listen first to led zeppelin.. i only have 4 led zep cd album and i have all of d album of 'tallica but i can say led zep is still the best!”
“this is the greatest and not metallica”
“Led Zeppelin never faded out. John Bohnam died. I can say that for most bands you will only find 1 or 2 exceptional artists; Led Zeppelin members were all considered exceptional with their instrument/s. Rarely if at all can a great band cover them decently much less really well.”
“The question posed in the creation of rock and roll was answered in the music of Led Zeppelin. On and off stage, they were/are the ideal model of any true band. Basically, the four of them and their music define perfection, or at least as close as any mortal can come to perfection. The only possible way someone might have a band equal to Zeppelin is if you took Johann Sebastian Bach, Ludwig van Beethoven, Wolfgang Amadeaus Mozart, and Peter Ilyich Tchaikovsky, have them all drop acid, compose some music together, and then take that music and make it five times faster and louder. Either that, or have a band called Jesus and the Apostles, which stars Jesus as the front man/lead singer, giving their music the divine touch. Because other then those two ways, I can't see how to improve on their music.”
“Just the perfect rock band, the perfect music, the perfect times, the perfect members.”
“I think they have something magic in their music, that's why I think they are the best band ever!”
“Led Zeppelin should be first. no way metallica's better.”
“Jimmy is the greatest guitarist and Bonham is the best drummer”
“BEST BAND EVER”
“No one can play like Jimmy Page and John Bonham”
“Metallica, lmao, over Zeppelin, gtfo.”
“They are the best!”
“#1#1#1#1#1#1#1#1#1#1#1#1#1 THE FARTHER I GO THE WORSE THIS LIST GETS”
“No other band had the privillege to have such a crew as Page, Plant, Jones and Bonham. You all know this is number one ever.”
“all of the above bands except Pink Floyd and the Beatles are complete wannabes of Led Zeppelin”
“Led Zeppelin is the best band of all time, of course it has a few songs that arnt as great as we had hoped but led zeppelin still has songs like black dog, swth, 10 yrs ago, and houses of holy, wat im tryin to say is led zeppelin dosnt deserve 5th place on this list”
“Stuart 163 is right! Zeppelin is the only band ever that makes you want to pull your hair out and by the way I have heard a lot of rock music and have been hearing Zeppelin for 25 years.”
“led zeppelin is a masterpiece themselves. all god like musicians,unlike metalllica”
“Led Zeppelin is by far the best band ever they have more diversity and skill then any other band, Bonham is the best drummer ever, page the best guitarist and plant the best vocalist you can't say anyones better”
“Led Zeppelin was the most innovative band of all time. There is no way that they are not #1 they are the fathers of metal. Metallica would never be as good if there was no zeppelin”
“led zeppelin is and always will be the best band ever! not saying taht because i like them or because they are memorable or popular im saying it because its the truth look at members music creativity presence any thing any aspect you can come form makes them the best. people say the Beatles made rock n roll... well that may be but led zeppelin made it the best!”
“Are you kidding me, #5, that is disgraceful. Led Zeppelin is so much better than any other band it isn't even funny. How Heart AND Mettalica (Neither should be top 50) are ahead of a band consisting of BOnzo, Plant, Page, and Jones is completely beyond me. I can think of 70 great Led Zeppelin songs off the top of my head. Their songs are so intricate and complex it puts them in a class by themselves. We all know that Led is the best but not all of us want to admit it. Anyone who thinks that Led is not a top 2 band has no sense in music whatsoever and shouldn't have the right to talk about music. Period.”
“Wow this isn't even close. the only debate here is who's 2nd because Led's place is cemented forever. I mean, the have at least 65 excellent songs and 7 excellent albums, they made 8, and they are made of the three most talented musicians at their respective instruments (Plant, Page, and Bonham) and the musical genius of John Paul Jones. Whenever somebody at school asks me what the greatest song ever, I always ask, "Do you want me to include the ones by Led Zeppelin. " If they say yes, my top ten has 8 Led songs, 1 pink floyd song and 1 by the who. Finally, this band touched on so many styles of music. From, D'yer Ma'ker to Kashmir to Achilles Last Stand, Led is in a class of one all the way.”
“the best 4 musicians ever put on stage together, Bands they opened for early on wouldn't want to go on after Zep played.”
“They're just the best.”
“although I barely listen to their music anymore, except for dazed and confused and stairway to heaven and some other songs, these 4 ingenious people are the reason why I picked up my guitar one more time”
“I have all there songs on my ipod so that should say enough
”
“Led Zeppelin is the greatest, most talented, incredible band that ever was and that will ever be. And does anybody else find it a little sad that the only reason heart is up here is because they're from guitar hero, I mean they're no that great of a band.”
“Heart don't deserve to even be on this list. just barely above metallica is where this band is”
“a million times better than heart”
“Zeppelin was the greatest band ever and they should be easily at #1 they also wrote the greatest song ever”
“Journey is Horrible. Whoever voted for that should listen to REAL music! Hasn't anyone ever heard of the Beatles, Pink Floyd or the Who? You know, small town bands that did nothing for rock. Oh yeah, now I remember they CREATED ROCK!”
“led zeppelin have everything!
they have some of the most awesome, genius and prettiest guitar solos,
they have some of the most awesome drum solos,
they have some of the best hard rock songs,
they have some of the most fantastic blues,
they have also some of the most influenced songs ever:
Heartbreaker: best riff in rock hostory
Moby Dick: best drum solo
All Of My Love: the most cosy song ever!
Stairway To Heaven:The best song ever! just listen to it,
of you disagree you probably just listen to britney spears and 50 cent or other crap!”
“I used to not get the hype but after getting the chance to check out there work there now one of my favorites.”
“are u fricken kidding me, this list is a joke.Led zepplin is the greatest band of all time. Metallica is garbage. all it is is power cords and then just go nuts on the solo. Journey is dirty good but they aren't the best rock band. Come on people, think, how many hit singles does led zepplin have compared to journey and metallica put together. They have more!!!!!!”
“Zeppelin is easily #1. Beatles are behind Japan X on this list lol.”
“these are 4 people with amazing talent way ahead of their time.”
“led zeppelin is to me the ultimate band. they were one of the few bands that began the concept of incorporating music of other genres such as folk, the blues and middle eastern music. long before sting wrote desert rose or sarah brightman sang harem. kashmir is a classic.”
“LED ZEPPLIN THERES NOO WAY ITS THE THIRD BEST”
“Number one all-time in Hard rock, Heavy metal, Blues-rock and Folk rock! WHY ARE THEY NUMBER 3!!!”
