Zeppelin was able to mix amazing musical talent (from every member of the band, which is rare) with beautifully written and really meaningful lyrics. As for the beatles, you simply can't deny that they completely revolutionized rock music. They were pioneers of their time. many people consider their music to be simple and "overrated" but you have to consider the time in which they were in their prime. (plus the fact that they don't play together anymore is one of the worst arguments i've ever heard, mainly because only one of them is still alive). The beatles were amazing lyricists, and anyone who disagrees is not looking deep enough into the lyrics (apart from the songs that were written while completely tripped out on acid which make NO sense whatsoever, but even those songs are brilliant for their instrumental aspects.) Add all this to the fact that they accomplished all of this basically with no influences whatsoever. I mean look at the popular artists before they came on to the scene. sinatra? ya that's a rea; valuable musical influence. sorry for going on and on, but i really can't believe how anyone could think the beatles or zeppelin are overrated.

ahh u beleive paul is dead eh
