Meet the new boooossss
Same as the old booooossss

Behind Blue eyes

See me Feel me

Kids are alright

can't explain

Love the Who
Great thread starter.
The Zep are okay didn't they do a song about an old lady going up a ladder to heaven or something and the theme to top of the pops.
I wonder what happened to their other shed load of songs.
Like black sabbath, man had they not made paranoid they wouldn't be in LA snorting ants for fun they'd be tipping rubbish bins in Birmingham.
Did black sabbath make another song?
All they play when they have a news article about them is paraonoid.
One song can make you innit.
The who are the best rock band because they sang about growing up and not about an old lady going up a ladder to heaven.

I can't say I LOVE the Who all that much. Good band, very creatively ambitious, but most of the music doesn't move me so much. Who's Next is their best set of songs by a cakewalk.

If you're going to insult a band, try to at least make logical statements from time to time, k? It would be wonderful when people who cast aspersions on a band actually KNOW what they're talking about.

Personally, I like The Who, I think they're very good and Pete is a supremely talented songwriter and musician, but I also feel they should have quit after Keith died. Not a single album was released after 1978 that I feel was a worthwhile creative accomplishment.

you haven't told me where I am wrong or where I know nothing.
Tell me where I am wrong and where I don't know what I am talking about and what k means.
Then I will reply to you on actual points.

If you want to actually see what Led Zeppelin is like, judge them by the three albums they released before Stairway. Every single album they released has achieved platinum status, something that The Who would be extremely grateful to see. "Their other shed load of songs" receives just as much appreciation from fans as Stairway, and they were one of the biggest rock bands in the world BEFORE it came out. Want proof?

It's absolutely ridiculous to label legendary bands like Sabbath and Zeppelin as one-hit wonders when their entire discographies merit great appreciation (well, Sabbath was amazing with Ozzy, can't say I enjoy Dio too much). Not to mention the fact that their combined influence probably holds sway over every single metal band out there today... If you're going to criticize a band, why don't you listen to more than one song to give them a little bit more of a chance? Led Zeppelin did so much right, and it's unfair to label them as such.

Fair play.
But whenever a tv show shows sabbath they only ever play paranoid and whenever they show zep they show whole lotta love or stairway Always Always.
Whereas the Who they show loads of songs.
Platinum is one thing but westlife are more successful then the beatles you know?

Anyway some bands have fans that will buy anything but the Who's fans are more discerning in taste and probably more depth to them then Sabbath fans with their fangs and fake blood like kids at holloween.
The who were about abuse, growing up and much more then stupid black magic which the sabbath only come across as an idea by chance and had no knowledge of it like their fans think they had.
