It is my contention that Led Zeppelin is by far the best overall rock band ever.

Here's why:

1. Good song/ bad song ratio
10 albums.....maybe 5 bad songs in total and they were mostly on presence and in through the out door

2. Power
They move me

3. Versatility
They cover all the bases. rock, heavy metal, regae, ballads, folk, country( appropriately only 1 song)

4. Lifestyle
They tore hotels up, abused groupies, and created general mayhem wherever they went

5. Formula
2 front men and a super talented rythm section ( this is the model for most successful bands today)

6. Timelessness
their songs still rock, and bear repetition

7. Longevity
11 years at the top

some of the other big 4 have some of these factors, but none have it all.
