While I admire their love for decent music, they somewhat dropped the ball in identifying what time period LZ came from.

Hahaha, I remember once I was having a conversation with a kid whose favorite band was Led Zeppelin, he asked me what my favorite song was and I said, "The Rover", he was completely dumbfounded.

I would bring that up every so often to people to laugh about how ridiculous it was, but they percieved it as me being a music snob. I maintain that it isn't the case, I just find it humurous that someone who hasn't listened to a band in 4 years still knows more about them then some classic rock bore that's never even heard one of Zeppelin's better songs.

These are the people polluting the music world with their ignorant, tasteless opinions.
