...for example; comparing Led Zeppelin to The Beatles? Come on...how redundant is that? The Beatles were a 60's band, while Led Zeppelin was a 70's band! Just as the heavy rock scene was coming to fruition, Led Zeppelin was just beginning to make a name for themselves. At the same time The Beatles were getting ready to call it a day!
Two bands, from two entirely different decades. Their careers overlapped for what, a year and half?
Perhaps many younger people aren't really aware how much different 1965 was compared to 1975. Maybe they think "oh, a decade is a decade"? I guess if you compare 1995 with 2005, there wasn't a whole lot of change as far as music goes. Surely not on the same scale as between '65 and '75!
The only people that understand this are us old farts who were actually around at the time.
If I see another question comparing 'The Beatles' to 'Led Zeppelin', I think I'll shoot myself.
What's next; "Who was better, and had more diversity, Buddy Holly or Deep Purple"?
