what band or artist is the led zepplin for our generation

I think the answer is not about personal prefrence,but rock roots and longevity,plus influence on other band. So while i despise them and hate to say it I think its probably Metallica.mattykovax

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

Bro, I never listen to anything mainstream nowadays as its all rubbish. I'll admit the underground has a few good bands, but nothing that can top the 60s and 70s.

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

There isn't a Led Zepplin of this generation.

There hasn't been a "Led Zepplin" since Nirvana back in the early nineties. Now, music is too diversified and numerous for one band to stand out like that.

A phenomenom with one band being everyone's favorite like the Beatles or Nirvana or Led Zepplin probably won't happen again because back then most people could only rely on MTV and the radio, now, anyone can go on the internet and research pretty much any band they want and they aren't at the mercy of the weaker mass communication system of yesterday.

Doesn't mean there isn't good music today, but if anything, I would go with Sigur Ros.

What timeframe is "our generation"?Rocky32189

Today's Led Zeppelin is The Mars Volta. Today's Beatles is Radiohead.... and... I can't really think of anyone else to compare with.

Yeah I agree with what the guy with that Pikachu Avatar said. This Decade, this generation(Generation Y) hasn't really had a generation defining band like

Baby Boomers - The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, etc

Early Gen X, Late Boomers - Led Zepplin , whoever else popped up in that Generation... ACDC?

Late Gen X, Early Gen y - Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Jay-Z,RadioHead, NIN. who ever else.

Gen y and Gen Z - To much subjectivity due to the Net to really choose, but I also have to say since we didn't have MTV or the radio now days pushing the defining bands in our face, and since many of the what could be Beatles, Nirvanas, and Zepplins are basically not mainstream bands. Basically your left with these mainstream monstrocities like Daughtry, Nickle Back and Hinder.

But at the same time you have good main stream that isn't to fed in by the Lime Light like Cold Play.

Edit- And why I can say I really love some on the pop punk bands of the 2000s(namely late 90s early 00s ones like Blinj 182) I have to say that they wont be remembered sadly.

Also I forgot The Strokes but they aren't that widly known either.

How the Hell can you compare Radiohead to The BEATLES!?!? Radiohead are NOTHING on the Beatles.

The Coral is todays Beatles.

A lot of these bands I haven't even heard of.

I would go for Nine Inch Nails or Metallica

And those who are saying there aren't any bands that "stick" like led zepplin, shut up... That's probably what people were saying back then.

I think Radiohead will be remembered for a long while, but they are far from being Led Zeppelin. I liked all their CDs except Kid A and Amnesiac (yeah, I truly dislike eletronic music).

I don't think any band today is worthy of being mentioned in the same sentence as Led Zeppelin...

Having said that, if I was to choose... I'd probably say the Raconteurs.Their first album (Broken Boy Soldiers) sounds a lot like them.

Well thats different then... but then again, no band of today has sold anywhere close to 300 million albums.

I have taken an extreme liking to Trans-Siberian Orchetra, not sure if they count though cause they are a spin-off of Savatage, a pretty aged band... But Nightwish has a few REALLY good songs, too...

Yuk! Trans-Siberian Orchestra. I actually saw him in concert, Mark Wood with the electric violin.

He gave a free concert at a small Christian college. He's talented, but I really don't care for him.
