I actually like a lot of classic rock (yes even Hotel California, that solo kicks ass) but there is a lot of bad classic rock too. What do you think the worst classic rock song is? What is the most overrated band or artist? I think Supertramp is mid at best, but Bob Seeger is truly dreadful.
The more and more I think about it, the more and more I think it's John Bonham that's the most important aspect of Led Zeppelin. Fool In The Rain, No Quarter, Kashmir, Moby Dick
Which is truly amazing because he was self taught on funk and jazz.
100%, he was always the soul of the band. He's, in fact, the reason why When the Levee Breaks is by far their best song.
