Wow... Paice is an essential there, though!If Zeppelin just had Jon Lord on keyboards, Gillan or Coverdale on vocals and Blackmore on the guitar...

Well, you know, the post I replied to was basically replacing "fronts" of Zep... I feel like Paice is an overlooked component of DP.Over Bonham????
Paice is great for sure....But over Bonham?
The greatest band of all time is the band people were into in their teens. True 95% of the time. That's the age where you develop music taste. While I can appreciate music done prior to my birth like LedZep they're sort of a history book band for me because I didn't live through it.
Can someone please make a sound fact based argument for a Band "greater" than the Beatles....remember that "greatest' applies to the collective and not the individual.

By what metric would you measure this greatness?
Music, like any art, is subjective and cannot be measured.
I generally agree with Miko, but it is very interesting to see the reaction of people, from just about any generation, when they hear "When The Levee Breaks" for the first time. Or Black Dog...and who hasn't heard Stairway...Even if you were familiar with the Stones or Beatles way back then, and I was, the first time I heard "Hey hey mama when you walk that way watch ya honey drip cant keep away..", it changed everything for me...and music in general. It truly was a paradigm shift. And, even though they "borrowed", there were completely original. But, in all seriousness, I think Blackmore could've been good as Pages tech. And its really not fair comparing that Ian Gilligan guy with Plant, especially considering he was stuck on that island during his prime. Come on guys.
I think you've got some grammatic errors here.I would use the definition of the word "Greatest". Like "outstanding", there can be only one by definition...yet people throw those terms around without consideration all the time.
Has any band had an impact on music of a greater magnitude? Better, preferred, etc, are all debatable as they are indeed subjective...Greatest is not.
Look I get that the spirit of the thread is "actually" favorite, and the Beatles aren't my favorite...but I really really want a V-amp!
