haha, wow there's lots to respond to. I'm not even going to touch on the beatles comment because that's already been beaten to death, but i'll coment on a few others.

"Around 95% of Bob Dylan`s output is boring rubbish"

I can see why you wouldn't like the actual music, some people do find it boring, and I'll admit his voice isn't the best. But if you don't see that he is one of the greatest lyricists of all time, then I'll find it really hard to respect your opinion on anything related to music.

"Led Zeppelin are ok for a fun blues based c0ck rock band , but to suggest they`re one of the greatest bands ever is laughable."

That's a pretty bold statement, and with not a lot to back it up. Jimmy Page is arguably one of the BEST guitarists of all time, and if you don't agree, then you don't know much about music. Not only did he have amazing technical ability, he was unbelieveably innovative. The rest of the band are extremely talented. If you can't see that led zeppelin is an amazingly talented band, then you simply don't know music.

all your other points are either dead on, or i have no real problem with.
