dylan is folk, not rock. barely folk/rock. as for the stones, led zeppelin > who > stones. that's why!

Astro, the Dude said that to the cab driver. In that picture he was talking to Brandt and the Big Lebowski.

Anyone who said anything but "Double Nickels on the Dime" by the Minutemen is so very, very wrong.

Except for Rushmore, who isn't all that wrong at all.

It depends who you ask. Dave Marsh (Rolling Stone), wrote that Dylan created folk rock and also that "...he remains one of the greatest rockers of all time."

This really needs to be seperated into periods, simply because the space limitations of earlier media sorta distort it. Appetite is certainly worthy, but it has the advantage/disadvantage of extra space on the album. *shrug*

When comparing him with guitarists of his time, he's not as technically proficient as a Jimmy Page, or as creative/interesting (IMO) as David Gilmour (Gilmour is a God to so many, but not a technical guitarist), but I think Frampton's improvised leads on that one album hold up as stongly today as when it came out in 1976. Of course everything he did after that sucked beyond all belief, but that live album was the best selling 'live album' for so damn long (I'd bet it's still in the top 5 best selling 'live albums' of all time).

The problem with the 'Frampton Comes Alive' album is that if you turn on an oldies rock station for 10 minutes, you're likely to hear a song from it, so everybody is justifiably sick of hearing it.

Yes, although I really wouldn't refer to their hit songs as progressive rock, but they have a ton of songs that do fall into that category from what I remember.

I read an interview with Jimmy Page in GuitarPlayer mag. in the late '70s, and he mentioned a time when Zeppelin toured with tull, with tull opening for Zep. When tull would play, Plant and Page would look at each other backstage and cringe (and goof on 'em). They really hated that band. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
