I've Been a Zepp Fan Since Day 1. Then like 10 years ago I first heard the Beatles, they blew my mind. My opinion, if it matters, is that Zepp is the DIRECT offspring of the Beatles. The Beatles recorded "Helter Skelter" on the Day Zepp. started on LZ1. They use similar recording ideas too. They were also both the top rated band of their era. Well, overall here's my top 10 bands 10. Blue Oyster Cult 9. Jimi Hendrix Experience 8. The Rolling Stones 7. Rush (gotta love 2112) 6. Aerosmith 5. The Beach Boys (Come on guys! Pet sounds is incredible!) 4. Wings 3. Queen 2. Led Zeppelin 1. The Beatles. Notice that almost all the bands on the list came AFTER the Beatles. That Just shows the revolution in music the Beatles caused.
