i think the true led zeppelin fans realize what they mean to rock n' roll. you have arguably the three greatest at what they do/did. robert at vocals:;jimmy at guitar and bohnam pounding the h*ll out of his drum set. that band changed rock music forever and each became legends at their position for what they accomplished as a band.

Don't fool yourself. John Paul Jones made led zeppelins fly. You lack of inclusion is a digusting oversight and you should be stripped of your zep CD because of it.

Bump.

Fenixpunk · 09-26-2005, 11:19 AM

nice list, dont agree with the order though. Elvis #1? ok, i can see where thats coming from, dont agree, but its one that can definetly be argued either way. The ones that completely caught me off guard the most were:

Joe Strummer #92??!!
Roger Waters # 88??
Mike Patton # 72??

also:
#29 - Peter Gabriel of Genesis? are you thinking of Peter Gabriel or Phil Collins?
#64 and #93 are the same person.

Leaving him out means you don't know anything about zeppelin. You just go by whatevery one tells you. The masses were ignorant to his influence, don't be fooled. Page choose him first over the toehr two. Theres a reason why.
