Good Lord.....The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, The Who...take your pick.

(Oct 23 07, 08:53)hmm, let's compare.
The beatles: changed pop music forever but were not a rock band so not really comparable. Plus most of the musical talent in the band came from George Martin.
The rolling stones: most overrated rock band ever. Weren't in the league of the blues boomers like clapton, beck, page. Just ripped of blues songs and posed (unlike the supremely talented zep who took them further)
the Who: I guess I'll give them volume, but not musicality.
Zep were the best session musicians in the country at the time. Page played on all the biggest sessions of the day.
They introduced blues as an influence as well as traditional english folk music and were the founders of modern rock and metal as we know it. Their influence can't be underestimated.
Just looked at how talented John Paul Jones is today, he's still improving!
