Really, metal didn't become mainstream until the NWOBHM hit the states. |

And Zep was just a blues band with electric instruments. You can spin things many ways. I'm not saying KISS was "Mozart meets Beethoven" but they have their place in history.

Yes, a hard blues band that explored a number of different styles of music and each one of them were extremely talented musicians. They helped define a style of music. KISS might of influenced a lot of people to start making music but their actual artistic and musical influence is pretty minimal. They didn't have a Jon Bonham, Robert Plant, Jimmy Page, Keith Moon, Pete Townsend, Ian Gillian, Richie Blackmore, Geezer Butler, or Tony Iommi. |

The Who might have had a huge artistic and musical contribution but they didn't INFLUENCE hardly anybody. When you talk to artists who started in that era, almost all of them say they were influenced by Jeff Beck, Eric Claption, and/or the Yardbirds... |

Your statement is very true for guitar players. Those guys were icons and they were very influential. I think you're underestimating The Who's influence on music. It was huge. Pete Townshend didn't wow too many people with his playing, but he sure did with his songwriting. Keith Moon would be in the same class as Beck & Clapton for drummers. He was insane. |
