Pete Townshend Hates Led Zeppelin

[broncosmitty]

Your opinion chewy. Mine is Led Zep is awesome and Townsend likes to fiddle with boys so fuck him

He’s a yuge Gary Glitter fan too.

Lots of people like cover bands.

At some point, pretty much all bands become cover bands. They’re just covering their old catalog, usually with different people in the band.

Yeah, but LZ was doing it before they had their own catalog to cover.

They were ahead of their time. They did all of the cover stuff first and then quit. The other bands did original stuff first and then played it for 40 years afterward.

Good call.

The Who has some absolutely amazing songs.

I got onto The Who when I was in middle school and I am definitely a fan but compared to Zeppelin? No these are apples and oranges

 

[PeoplesChicken]

Yep definitely one of my personal favs by them. I also love Relay

 

[PeoplesChicken]

Well, one could argue that they influenced a whole bunch of shitty bands too. Most glam rock and hair bands are direct derivatives of Zeppelin.


Just cuz it's awesome...I bought this shirt a few months ago...

Speaking of shitty bands. If you think Kiss was a great band you are gay

Oh that's a deep cut there Shaka Zulu!

Yes, the British Invasion happened before I was born but the Who were creative and a force to be reckoned with. I also enjoyed listening to Cream and The Kinks. Led Zeppelin was enjoyable but didn't define Rock & Roll in their era.

Whole Lotta Love was as groundbreaking as I Wanna Hold Your Hand IMHO

If Zep stole their music they did a better job of playing it.

It’s easy to do a better job on something the second try.

That was an old Muddy Waters song. LZ had to be sued for them to give credit to the real songwriter, Willie Dixon

Too pretentious of a game for me

If I had to chose one of these bands to be eliminated from my listening cue forever it would be The Who (as long as I can get a copy of Eminence Front stashed somewhere). Zeppelin is better by a lot.

One of my top 10 albums.

Every note and chord on the guitar has already been played by someone else. LZ's problem was not giving credit where due. That does not take away their musicianship or their arrangements.

It takes a lot away from them IMO. Not hard to give credit.
