a) can you base this argument on how they looked? "long hair, no
shirt"? i don't think the Beatles looked "cool" half the time,
but that didn't affect the quality of the music they put out.
b) i was under the impression we were talking about opinions,
not facts. i.e., you think Zeppelin sucks, most ppl don't.
and if i think they do fall into the same category as the
Beatles than they do, in my mind, and if they don't in yours, so
be it. but you can't define that for other ppl.

oh i seeee! if YOU like the band, then they can't be held
responsible for inspiring shitty bands? but if you DON'T like
the band (Zeppelin), then they can be held responsible? you are
making NO SENSE.

maybe instead of blindly hating something, you should try to
UNDERSTAND why something was influential. here is an example: i
am not a fan of lots of bands/artists or types of music
[examples: Prince, Elvis Presley, Hendrix, Joy Division,
country/blues, etc] BUT i can understand and appreciate why they
were important/influential. they were usually breaking new
ground, being creative/innovative, etc, although the particular
style/sound/whatever is not palatable to me.

i just think you are insane. but that's just my opinion, not a
fact.

hmmm...i don't recall that. but i do recall you saying "it's
true" a lot when referring to your opinion of Zeppelin
