And the Who is the Ultimate storm of talent.
Not to turn this into a pissing match, but LZ is arguably one of the most-overrated bands that ever existed:
- Plant may had had a 4 octave range, but he never (or rarely) used it and just screamed and made, "sex noises," 1/3 of the time (not that there's anything wrong with that, but that's a waste of talent).
- Jones may be a great, "arranger," but big deal: he's a mediocre at best bassist and to bring up the Who again, Entiwistle could arrange circles around Jones, not to mention he is 10x the bassist and overall musician.
- Bonham is easily one of the biggest stamina drummers that ever lived, but A: many other guys basically have that stamina and B: his beats are not that intricate or difficult. I mean, you want to talk about stamina/keeping in time at a VERY brisk pace, Simon Phillips is a SESSION musician, FFS:
And nobody touches Neil Peart: he's truly at the very #1 spot of drummers all-time and HIS writing/arranging prowess was 2nd to none.
- Page, I feel, is the only true transcendent talent in the group, but only as a guitar player (which he is at the top of the game), as he is a passable song writer at best (and Plant as a lyricist isn't much better).
They are great, blues band that got super popular and that popularity never waned... and when you're that popular, people tend to not criticise/look at things subjectively When stacked up against their most-supreme peers of the time (Floyd, the Who), they come in 3rd. And if we want to include the prog rock bands, they come in behind half a dozen of them.
And I detest Pink Floyd lol. Save for Bike. That song is golden.
EDIT* and for the topic at hand, TS is another mediocre at best pop act, that got famous for her lame HS break up songs and now is doing the pop tart thing that dozens of other chicks did before her, rinse and repeat. As Matt Pinfield once said...
Applies to TS 100%... save for the song writing: she at least writes all her own songs.
Truck, I love yah man, but to detest Pink Floyd and love Bike OMG!!!
David Gilmour is my favorite guitarist of all time, dude still bends string right off the fret board like no other and is a great singer.
Roger Waters blows and was so bad of a bassist Gilmour had to play the bass for him on entire albums and sang most of the songs.
Rush rocks though, love Neil Peart.

He's a partner at a wealth management firm and he's really good at what he does. His philosophy is these are the best times of his life for him in terms of his daughters, so he doesn't mind shelling out that kind of money.
I have seen numbers about how much money she brought in for the Bengals and then all the money off of it for hotels, restaurants, merchandise, and whatever else, and it's just stupid.
Cincinatti and the Bengals are doing ok in this one.
Good for him, wish I had dough to throw around like that.

Never really liked the Who much either, I like Rain on Me and Behind Blue Eyes and can play one of them but not a big fan.
All the songs of the Who they play on the radio are annoying as hell to me. I like The Guess Who better lol
Neil Peart of Rush was iconic though, greatest drummer of all time IMO. Love Tool's drummer as well.
