post 1 try one of the most overated bands in rock history that wrote without a doubt (in my mind) the most overated song in the history of rock and roll in stairway to heaven, dont get me wrong as im a huge zeppelin fan and enjoy StH (from time to time) but neither the band nor the song are as good as the credit they are receiving

The finest rock band in history. Nobody even close to the mighty Led Zeppelin. It is clearly evident that they remain the most popular band in rock and roll. The website for reunion tickets received over a BILLION hits in less than one week, with 25 million attempting to register in one 24 hour period.
