what band or artist is the led zepplin for our generation

The thing is, the 90's and 2000's have brought some ok bands, but no band that will be remember 30 years from now, like classic rock artists etc. You may know them for 5 years then you move onto a new band nothing ever sticks.

There have been a lot of good artists lately. They just haven't been on tv too much.

Coldplay before X&Y was very good, franz ferdinand is starting to become better every day, gorillaz was good, justice is good etc. I don't even know too much music compared to other people, but I'm fine with modern music.

Alice in Chains.

Aerosmith is at least still around can we count them?

Radiohead

all their albums have been nothing short of great (everything except Pablo Honey)

Like Led Zeppelin the band needs to be rockin but also has to have a wide appeal to everyone. Jocks, intellectuals, populars, outcasts. The only band that would fit that bill is Pearl Jam.

I don't think the generation is really going to be remembering great rock I think its going to remember rap and hip hop a lot more so than rock. Sorry guys but its just what is popular.

Alice in Chains.

This is most certainly true, Alice In Chains is all manner of amazing.

Soulja Boy up in it oh

why we do that why we rooh

dur da durrrrr

:lol:

It will be funny seeing our 60 year old selves singing to Snoop Dogg and try to tell the kiddos to stop behaving wrong.

Oh boy. Good music died in the 90's and the good bands are aging.

Nevermore.

As of bands coming out right now there really is nothing that rivals Led Zepplin in my opinion. Even though they are quite old now Van Halen was really powerful from the late 70's to the mid 90's. All their CD's excluding Van Halen 3 were all great. Had Hagar not left in the mid 90's they might have still be making Albums up to today. Still now they have Roth back and are going to start recording this summer.TheColbert

I hated Van Halen's Hagar era :P

None of the bands I've seen listed are close. I mean, none of them are about just rocking out in a relatively carefree way. I'd say the Mars Volta is close, but I mean, Led Zeppelin has its own unique attitude or whatever. Radiohead is the polar opposite of Led Zeppelin. For one thing, they're not sexual whatsoever. Secondly, their drummer is pathetically slow (stylish, but the first words Thom Yorke said to him (Phil) were "can't you play any f***ing faster?!"). Radiohead is about ambience and mood; Led Zeppelin was much more instrumentally driven.

Also, Radiohead signs about pathetically mundane things. That's the point. But the themes are more or less realistic described in terms of objects that are fairly familiar to modern man. Led Zeppelin is deliberately esoteric, as is the Mars Volta who write their lyrics with a medical dictionary out.

None of the comparisons being made seem to be considering the spirit of the bands in question.

Yeah it's pretty meh. However all the Van Hager albums have this uplifting/epic/work out till I reach the top feel to it which makes it amusing.

Green Day got pretty big with American Idiot.

And I would say blink-182 but thatd be pretty bias. :P

The led zeppelin of...

The Post-Metal scene: Neurosis

The Viking Metal scene:Bathory

The Death Metal scene: Death

The Power Metal scene: Blind Guardian

There are "Led Zeppelins" for every type of music.

And I doubt those bands will be forgotten 20 years down the road.

You know I'm a huge Blink fan but we both understand that we can't put them in such a position. It just wouldn't be right.

Green Day are not big enough though. At the end of the day they are remembered for Dookie and American idiot but that doesn't get them on the Zeppelin of our gen list.

TC, Iagree with your dad.

The isn't one! Led Zepplin is untouchable! I honestly think Metallica is better though but both are just classic and no other band will ever touch them!

neither have I :lol:DooDooPeePee

Porcupine Tree is the correct answer to all music related questions regarding greatness.

Metal is a tightknit community though. Led Zeppelin is known to the masses. Their appeal is much bigger than anything from most metal genres by default. Different criteria I guess is what I would say.

[QUOTE="DooDooPeePee"]neither have I :lol:andyboiii

Well, for some reason my gut reaction is The White Stripes. It seems they'll never be anywhere nearly as successful though.SpaceMoose

Nope. Too weird. People don't know if they are a couple, siblings, ex lovers. They dress unlike "regular" people. Music isn't universal enough. 2 musicians in a band just isn't enough for that Led Zeppelin of our generation kind of thing.

They dressed like rockers of that time. The White Stripes dress like... whatever that red stuff is. But I believe that many people look at the way the actual people are when deciding how influential they want them to be. Musical style only takes them far enough. Metallica has not been making top of the crop music for over a decade and more but they wear jeans and a generic black shirt. That won't offend anyone and they look hard enough for any nutcase that would dismiss a band if they look too soft.

Well firstly, this is not my generation. On subject though, there is NO music around now that can be compared to the old greats.
