    All of My Love is good, but not in the Zep top 10. Kashmir, Achilles Last Stand, Nobody's Fault But Mine, The Song Remains the Same, The Ocean, Trampled Underfoot, Thank You, Moby Dick, Dazed and Confused, Since I've Been Loving You - are all better IMHO.

    Unbelievable! That anyone has not mentioned the greatest band in the Universe ever ---RAMONES---

    Their first three albums were nearly flawless!

    I think I will repeat that!

    Their first three albums were nearly flawless!

    All other bands might have one or two decent songs on an album - but RAMONES had great song after great song.

    They influenced a whole generation of music and most importantly played music for the kids!

    PS Pink Floyd were/are an abomination!

    1. Ramones are great, and I do love them. BUT they were a 1-riff band. It happened to be 1 perfect riff, but 1 perfect riff does not make a band the "greatest in the Universe ever." You can interchange the riff from Blitzkrieg Bop with I Want to Be Sedated then with Rockaway Beach and most people couldn't tell the difference.

    2. Pink Floyd is awesome. There are real lyrics in their music. Time and Run Like Hell are two of my favorites. Oh, and Hey You.

    3. Deep Purple was also a 1 riff band, and that one riff produced another great 70s song, Smoke on The Water.

    Lots of excellent punk in the late 70's on both sides of the Atlantic. Dictators, The Damned, Television, The Germs, etc. Thanks to youtube I still find new treasures in this genre.

    There's a little "White Riot" playing for me right now. I mean if we're going to talk about punk bands that are better than the Ramones, the Clash is an easy place to start.

    You are dead to me. Seriously. That's like blasphemy. The Wall is seriously one of the most emotionally moving films I've ever seen. Like, I ugly cry watching it. How you can listen to the music of Pink Floyd and think it's an abomination, I can't even begin to comprehend. *goes to mah happy place*
