Where did Zep Rank?

Back in 1998, Kevin Bacon hosted a countdown on VH1 called "100 Greatest Artists of Rock and Roll". I remember the Beatles were #1, The Rolling Stones #2, Jimi Hendrix was #3 and Bob Dylan was 5th. But I don't remember where Zep ranked. I am thinking they were 4th. I am not talking about the "100 Greatest Artists of Hard Rock" in which Carmen Electra hosted, because they were certainly #1 on that list! :D Does anyone remember where Zeppelin ranked on this particular countdown?

The last time the show was done Zeppelin was number 1. That or its greatest hard rock band. I don't remember off the top of my head.

Yeah. That was the 100 greatest artists of hard rock. LZ was #1, followed by black sabbath, jimi Hendrix, ac/dc and metallica.
