Neapolitan, aren't you in the UK? You don't seem to be grasping that not everyone reached the same levels of popularity on both sides of the pond.
What are you basing your knowledge of who is/was or isn't/wasn't popular in the US on, just out of curiosity?

the Doors cause they get hated on.

Yeah, that's a very recent phenomenon--maybe in the last 10 years or so. I still haven't figured out just what the source of the backlash is there.

Moby Grape, yeah. QMS idk.

Both of them were always pretty "culty" in the US, by the way.

Jimi Hendrix . . . wasn't on Top 40 radio that they listened to.

Again, in the US from the late 60s through the early 80s, only total squares/dweebs listened to top 40 radio. Top 40 radio wasn't very popular. FM album-oriented radio ruled during that era in the US.

Some people are mixing up what is targeted for mainstream audience with numbers of fans which Led Zeppelin had later.

Led Zeppelin was massive during the time they were active, which was from 1969 to 1980. It wasn't a later phenomenon. They were popular after that, too, of course, but you keep stating things that seem like you don't believe they were popular during the 70s.

Something that is is ignored by mainstream media can still have a relative large amount of followers.

That's true. But Led Zeppelin wasn't at all ignored by mainstream media.

I found nothing really wrong to Chula saying what he said about Led Zeppelin in the beginning.

It would probably help if we clarify just what years we're talking about.
