I was making a classic rock CD earlier for an upcoming car trip and got into a discussion with my bro about this.  For some reason I used to hate Led Zeppelin (don't recall why), but in the process of building out the playlist I threw some Zeppelin in there anyway.  Driving around @ lunch and listening to Kashmir, it kinda hammered itself into my head and now I can't get it out, which I think means that I like it.

I'm thinking for a while there was some kind of backlash against liking Zeppelin and so maybe I got sucked into that, or maybe it was the only angsty teenagers are allowed to like them.

I've always thought Pink Floyd was ok and have always loved Comfortably Numb, but think they might fall into the same 'only teenagers are allowed to like these guys' category.

Both.  Zeppelin maybe slightly more.

Semi-related, in Argentina you're either a Beatles or Rolling Stones fan.  Never both.  If you like one you must hate the other.

I would be in the Stones camp, personally.  Brown Sugar  :cool:

I guess I can understand that.  But I would vote both to that as well.

I think both bands were good, but over-rated, and yeah, there's been a bit of a backlash from that, so now if anything both (especially Zeppelin) might be a bit under-rated.  That said, I like 'em both, but if I had to chose between them, I'd go with Zeppelin.

It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.
