Led Zeppelin is not mentioned at all in this article, a self-discrediting act which belies either agenda or ignorance. What a bunch of irrelevant, self-important fools.

This article is not even suitable for use as electronic toilet paper.

I find anything by Zeppelin to be far superior to the Beatles, or any band except The Who and The Stones.
