Yeah I saw that but it's some kind of a comparison battle thread. So...:/

I had originally ignored that comment because I thought you meant Airborne Toxic Event. Appreciate the clarficiation.

Greta Van Fleet compared to Led Zeppelin, Yes, ELO, Rush, Airbourne versus Greta Van Fleet compared to Church of the Cosmic Skull ... wow what a big thematic difference between the two threads! i e multi-comparisons versus a "comparison battle." tbh I don't think you can mention GVF without someone making a comparison of them to some other band. :/

Actually the title of your thread is the following: Final Showdown: Greta Van Fleet versus Church of the Cosmic Skull implying a specific comparison between two bands.

Inside the thread itself, people are commenting if they prefer one or the other and mostly posting about the latter.

Two different things.

Now stop being a dick about it.

What I read in this seems more like a comparisons of GVF to older bands. I don't know, maybe I'm wrong. My thread was also about preferences cause it had a poll. The poll implied the "preference" of the voter.

I guess that's why Steel Panther and Foxy Shazam work too. But the former is more of a satirical thing.

Yeah Airbourne are just naturally meatheads born in the wrong time.

Greta Van Fleet is the kind of band your old Uncle would not listen to, but say "It's nice to see some young people playing REAL instruments again."

They ooze "Music was better back in the day" kind of vibes, and nothing pisses me off more than that.

Yeah if you go to the comments section of any of their videos, you would see a lot of those comments, almost verbatim.

Reminds me of a review I was reading of Jane's Addiction that claimed they (Jane's) was the real heir apparent to Led Zeppelin, despite legions of British Banana-curl-fronted rock acts that came out between Zep and Janes.

I always use that as my Northstar. Looking and sounding like the band is easy. Capturing the ethos and the spirit is both harder, and the real legacy.
