Ah yes, those were the daze. When Zeppelin first appeared, the concert goers would literally bang their heads against the stage, walls, etc. Saw Zep. 3x: 1x Schenectady, 2x Syracuse (stayed at the YMCA).
Having said this, Roger Waters "In The Flesh Live" concert DVD gets my vote.

The new CD boasts a 25-minute version of "Dazed and Confused," while Bonham drums relentlessly during the 19-minute "Moby Dick." I think that was in their bylaws ;)

The Ramones were on the cusp of the 1980's, but you may be right.
The Talking Heads are still played on the radio as much as Floyd or the Stones, and musically speaking, put out some pretty innovative music on par with the "Big 4".
The Beastie's are most certainly not a one-hit wonder, and are actually pretty similar to Floyd. Their albums might not come too often, but there isn't a weak one in the bunch.

Actually, they are pretty bad.

I missed them in 1977 when I had no $$$$$$ as a senior in high school.
In 1980 I beat the ticket selling procedure in Cleveland -- they announced the ticket sales at 3:30 -- you had to have a bank money order mailed to the Coliseum. I found a drive-through bank open until 4 (rare back then), got the money order, and dropped it off at the Richfield post office just after midnight (had to be postmarked after then). Next day, banks were deluged with Zep fans, but I had the inside track!
Then dude chokes on his own vomit ... at least they think it was his own vomit ... Scotland Yard doesn't dust for vomit you know.
My wife, on the other hand, saw them in 1969 ... she's a little older than me :) -- then she saw them in Philly when Phil Collins drummed for them.

It's a testament to how much today's music sucks compared to the stuff back then. Basically very true. However there are some awesome bands still around in the 00's you might want to check out: Blues Traveler, Collective Soul to name a few...

To add depth to the music in his head, Page decided to sit in the producer's chair and amplify Bonzo's drum playing.Not only was Bonzo's playing spectacular (especially the ghost notes)but the sound of his drums I have yet not heard anyone to match in timbre.

The Ramones exploded onto the popular scene when they appeared on Shanana towards the end of the 70s, but they'd been around a while already. Old band.
I still dig the Talking Heads, a remarkable band, but I'm not hearing them having much in the way of continuing airplay.
There might not be a weak Beastie Boy album in the bunch, but they're not stacking up anywhere near the sales and getting little if any continuing airplay.
It's not just a matter of quality it's also a matter of public awareness. Somehow Zep still remains huge, I think the heavy tie-ins to LOTR helps a lot it means fans of one get turned on to the other. But we can't leave out that they're the prototype hardrock with brains band. No rock and roll station or heavy metal station can claim any validity if Zep isn't on the playlist, they embody their genre more completely than any other band except maybe the Stones.

Actually, they are pretty bad.Oh c'mon! They are at least in a different league, musically creatively speaking.

Talk about timing. One of the FM stations in New York had a countdown over the Memorial Day weekend of the Top 500 tunes from the '80s and '90s. I hated a lot of that crap, but I was surprised at how many of them I liked.
In my opinion, Collective Soul's "The World I Know" might be the best song of the 1990s.
To: Drew68
In doing this, Jimmy Page inadvertantly created Heavy-Metal music.
There have been 2 groups that are said to be the father of heavy metal, Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath. IMO Black Sabbath wins hands down.

My kids listen to Pink Floyd, Jimmy Hendrix, Black Sabbath, but don't seen too interested in Zep. If they are not interested in Zep it is because they have not been properly exposed to Zep.
Do your part! If kids do not like Zep then the terrorists have won.

Pardek, it isn't. It's EADADE.
Tune to that and strum all six, fingering the 7th fret of the B and D strings.
See? I've been doing Rain Song for twenty years. It's one of the most fun things I play, actually.

It's EADADE.Impossible. Watch "The Song Remains The Same", and you'll see.

I consider Jimi Hendrix the father of heavy metal.
