Agreed! I hated Zappa as my older brothers played his records often! Friends took me to his concert on the pier in Manhattan that they made into a video! I was floored! Was like rock, jazz, classical and vaudeville all packed into one with precision! As a classical musician I was blown away!

I love John Paul Jones, but Jimmy Page is the most over rated guitarist ever...total slop! I think John Bonham became the most over rated drummer due to the drugs and booze!

I’d have to agree. Clapton is MUCH better. So was Frank. Steve Vai, Adrian
Bellue, and Jeff Beck are ALL much, much more proficient.

“I love John Paul Jones,”

Me too. IMO he pretty much held LZ together from a musical standpoint. Although I think Entwhistle was probably the best rock bassist followed very closely by Geddy Lee. That man is an astonishing talent. Pretty much anyone who played bass guitar for Frank belongs on the list, too.

“I think John Bonham became the most over rated drummer due to the drugs and booze!”

Also agreed. Keith Moon, Terry Bozio, and Chad Wackerman are, or were as the case may be, much better. The combination of Moon and Entwhistle is one for the ages.
