"Led Zeppelin. Bubble gum heavy metal."

I don't know you so I won't comment and we'll leave it at that. ;-)

Remember the year 2000? Rolling Stone chose The Clash's London Calling as the most "influential" band of the decade, century,(millenium). I see the influence, but I've NEVER been a fan. Then again every band "rips off" other bands.

I just read Keith Richards' "Life" and he admits that the Stones were trying desperately to be a "blues band" based on American Blues artists. I have to give them points for trying.

I like some of the Stones' works, but "blues" they AIN'T. Rod Stewart comes close in his early years (my favorite), but unless you're black and from the American South in the 20's-40's you're jut NOT going to cut it.
