i said bands, not solo music artists, but madonna is in the top 10 solo music artists of all time

2/3rds of the group isn’t American and they didn’t form in America

“name 30 people who sold more than led zeppelin”

I don’t see the word “bands” in this sentence at all. Are you selectively stupid?

Nevermind is just a perfect album. No way around it. Could play that s*** all day and not get bored.

It’s like Sgt. Pepper for Gen X

Agreed.

led zeppelin are more critically acclaimed than madonna though

most critics and journalists will say led zeppelin are better than madonna

show me a pitchfork or rolling stone article that says 30 people who are better than led zeppelin

what a dumbass forced caveat when Jimi is american, most of it is his idea and it is american sensibilities

stupid like the minority sad ny niggas trying to say 2Pac is ny or kurupt is philly and they dont count for west coast even tho everything about them is west and they got their stripes and raised in the west and rep west and lived west

and a lot of bands then had british niggas in it lol

product of time and circumstance, especially black members where british members was actually more open to n working with them than american whites

in utero and mtv unplugged also perfect

Straight up

10/10

Nirvana cool, but not my favorite band but I think they are up there. This is honestly a tougher question for me than I thought… I wanna put my bias ahead but I also wanna be objective

F*** it tho Dinosaur Jr>>>>

Blues was already popular by the time Led Zepplin hit the scene lol Wasnko need to “popularize”

🔥

all i'm saying is led zeppelin made it even more popular

And that’s their first joint too that original lineup didn’t even hit their stride until the next one imo.

They split up after their third album… reunited 20 years and got even better

just go to google and search for "did led zeppelin popularize blues" and this is the result

"While Led Zeppelin didn't invent the blues, they certainly popularized and transformed it into a more accessible and commercially successful genre, especially through their hard rock and blues-rock style. They reworked blues and folk songs, sometimes crediting the original artists, sometimes not, showcasing a heavy blues influence. "

if you don't agree then you're just being a contrarian just to be different and look cool

I’m sure some of you have seen this doc, follows that whole alternative scene of the late 80s early 90s with focus on Sonic youth, Dinosaur Jr, and some Nirvana I believe. It’s been a while since I watched this full thing.

so did drake with dancehall and grime - or vanilla ice with rap - or kenny g with jazz

doesnt really mean anything tho overall outside of mainstream appeal

and blues is an infusion n influence of many older bands

but led zeppelin is universally critically acclaimed while they're not

you cannot deny this

you can't go against music history

I’m not saying you all the way wrong because I understand the context of what this means, no disrespect to Zepplin but they did the same thing Elvis, and other white artists did with Blues music. So I mean yeah they made it more “accessible” and “popular” but I mean we know what that means lol

secretly a real ass take

so was (and still is in a lot of circles) elvis

that still doesnt mean anything when it comes to the genre and skillset lol, especially when judged by "outsiders"

you cannot overwrite the actual culture lol

yeah lol

no one is saying theyre ass
