It's a testament to how much today's music sucks compared to the stuff back then.

Nevermind "today's" music, how about comparing Zep to the hairbands of the 70s....Yikes!

BTW, it's hard to think of these guys as being in their fifties.

I agree. I remember seeing The Song Remains the Same being advertised as a kid and walking past it thinking it would be soooooooooooooo cool if I could see that movie in the theater (a few years later I did just that at a midnight movie) and now all I can think of is that I had hair and a waistline then.

The playing is awesome and the songs all just rock. I miss the days when bands lasted for more than 2 years, wrote their own tunes and actually knew how to play their own instruments.

I miss guitar solos too.

Most of all I'm forced to acknowledge the passing of time when I read that Jimmy Page is 59 years old!!!!

I actually like a lot of those 80's bands(mostly because almost everything in the 90's sucked outside of Black Crowes, Kid Rock, or newer stuff from old groups) but it doesn't hold a candle to the 70's, outside of Van Halen, Scorpions, and AC/DC(although their best stuff was in the 70s).
