Yes, but I didn't say anything about MB whatsoever in my post. I was referring to the attitude expressed in that post, not making any particular comment about MB one way or the other.

That last sentence is exactly how I feel about Led Zeppelin. I don't think they deserve the level of praise they get from critics and music fans, therefore I think they're overrated. Don't get me wrong, I actually like Zeppelin, I just don't think they're as good as their reputation suggests. Also, like you, I prefer their later stuff to their earlier stuff.
