While I admire their love for decent music, they somewhat dropped the ball in identifying what time period LZ came from.
Reminds me of a conversation I had about a month ago. A guy was telling me Led Zep was his favourite and I asked him which albums he liked most. He said Mothership. Ten minuted later he told me that he didn't own a single "greatest hits" album, which means he thought Mothership was a studio album. And Led Zep was supposedly his favourite band.

I get this from Beatles fans too, they're enormously ignorant of their music even though they claim it's the best band ever.
