I hear you brother , God Bless.

Interesting , and with all due respect , I entirely understand your viewpoint and don't much disagree .... but I have in no way harped on any particular point , much like washing your hands after going to the bathroom .... my words were more than appropriate for the conversation presented. My point of fact , was only conclusive to the misguided information , as given .... and that was just ONE time , in response to the "irrelevant" words quoted by one Mr. White on an unrelated to music matter , which you then decided to rebuttal. Here n now , with my first response directed toward the original directee , Mr. McNally .... it is only "relevant" and "appropriate" to , for only the second time , but toward McNally "the first" ... show I am in total conclusive agreement with him , for any other assertion would be ignorant to the facts at hand .... before I relayed my viewpoint for McNally not to f**k with The Dark Lord , as he is the man! I'm sorry if this is sensitive material for you , but do not falsely accuse my words for something they are not. Thanks brother

John , love your passion for The Who , i enjoy them very much myself , fantastic artist! As are Zeppelin , very talented in there own right , sound musicians with a solid stage presence. I tend to agree with much of what you have to offer , and without question in the world of grading artist , one's personal life has zero significance at all in the outcome.... where that came from is just a lack of understanding of how people miss view musicianship , very common in fact.... I'm sure the individual who came up with that quote , meant no harm. As for The Dark Lord , he is a genuine man with a true love , backed up with impeccable knowledge for the band he loves .... He deserves nothing but strong respect , for he is the real deal.

Not even a top 5 live act of the 70's alone , I can think of many who blew them completely off the stage , with far more structure and less sloppy play .... but Zeppelin certainly came guns a blazing to do there very best , Page always saw to that , Zep was and is his baby.

You have misunderstood my point completely , with your last comments in response to mine .... but no worries and respect. As for this above post here , fantastic breakdown , not that I necessarily agree , especially in respect to Moon , but regardless great efforts and post!

When discussing one's music , personal mishaps have no relevance. In fact , it shows the lack of understanding and unease one has in there "musical genius" , that in there rebuttal of a certain artist stealing music , the biggest "no , no" amongst credible musicians , is to revert to one's personal life , as if it has any merit at all. Which it very obviously does not.

Interesting comment , yet not relevant in anyway. The gentleman was probably searching through different musical forums , very common amongst fans of good music , saw a thread comparing his favorite band against Zeppelin , and read what he found to be utter non sense , and responded. As for the Townsend comment , that again is irrelevant , has nothing to do with music and creativity , where as Zeppelin's very well documented lack of credibility in some of there song writing , is extremely relevant. I will say this , Page's enormous love for his at times borrowed music , allows him to create some true magic out of other people's music , that may not have been all the listenable without Jimmy's talented touch.

Why? Moon and Entwistle are at a level that John and JPJ , as respectable as they are , have never reached .... and in my opinion , John and JPJ are the two most creative tasty forces Zeppelin has to offer. Tommy and Quadrophenia are musically brilliant at a level far more original and creative than anything Zeppelin has to offer in comparison from there 9 disc catalog .... separating both Roger and Pete from the likes of a Plant or Page.

There are far more reasons that The Who are a superior team of musicians and song writer's over a band of the likes of a Zeppelin , than just lyrics.
