Default Re: Top 5 GROUPS/ARTISTS, all time

Agreed, I suppose. All music is like that, for better or worse. I don't think the word "orginal" has had much bearing in music ever, although at least back in the days Zeppelin was using ideas from bands to make good music. And, they were pioneering music in a sense, so more power to them. It's to bad bands don't do that nowadays...Trapt, Nickleback, Alter Bridge....uggh. Utter unoriginal, uninfluential crap.

My dad pointed out, just the other day, the staying power of bands like Zeppelin and The Beatles. It's amazing that those bands, 30 and 40 years old, still get major airplay. What's even more amazing is that you can still hear Beatles/Zeppelin influences in modern music today. Oasis and The White Stripes are two fine examples.
