I still stick to what I think of Led Zep , Don`t get me wrong I like the band but for someone who had possibly the best drummer & guitarist ever & someone like John Paul Jones who was arguably the most talented in the band as far as musical arranging & the number of instruments he could play , I just think they could have made music that was a lot more groundbreaking & original than what they did.

yeah I can see where you're coming from with dylan, but in his defense he was REALLY hopped up on drugs for the majority of his career, so for him to even be able to sit upright let alone compose and perform music in his state is pretty impressive. As for led zeppelin, I don't think it's really fair to judge a band on how good they SHOULD have been, because that's all speculation, with not a lot to go on. They did come up with some very original stuff, but I'll agree, they were by no means one of the most influential bands in history, far from it. They were an amazing band, and I'd say on of the greatest bands ever, but they definitely weren't hugely influential. Personally, I'd say the Beatles were one of the most influential bands in history, and I know you're going to disagree with me there, but that's old news.
