Well them's fightin' words...
I love the blues, and I love Zep. I truly do think they were not only the greatest rock band, but musical geniuses. Blues adapt, they always have. And I can't think of a better adaptation of Blues from a smoky honky-tonk into a rock-merged, electric mega-colosseum than what they did.
If SRV had lived, they would have eventually had serious competition, because he was getting more into rock-blues. But his legacy was sealed with Double Trouble at the mostly-straight-blues level. So as far as I'm concerned, Zepplin takes the all-time blues-rock band crown.
Though a double-header with Zepplin and Double Trouble would have shifted the planet into a better orbit and solved tooth decay at the same time, me thinks.
Amen!
I've seen that crap slung before but none of them can back it up with an example.

Page out shines him self here, even better than when you was younger...

Guess you’re not familiar with James Hendrix?
