Question
hi my Question is -  is really LED ZEPPELIN are biggest band in the world only to BEATLES ........ because i know that for sure that Beatles are biggest of all but then you go to every bands information page & u will see that they are the best bands in the world like rolling stones, the who , pink floyd & queen etc... so i just want an ultimate answer that Led ZEP is all above them ....... can you do that for my ?? (mad fan of ZEPPELIN is asking )

Answer
Hello AMOD,

It's a hard question to answer as it is a matter of opinion really. Although the statistics are that Led Zeppelin has outsold every other band, including the Rolling Stones, in ticket sales and album sales worldwide - except the Beatles. Guitar World AND Rolling Stone magazines have dubbed Led Zeppelin the BEST Rock and Roll band in the WORLD.   In my opinion, yes. It's true. How can ANY band improve on the variety and integrity of The Beatles & Led Zeppelin?  Answer: They haven't yet & The Beatles disbanded 40 years ago. Zeppelin disbanded 30 years ago.  That says something, very special. Yes?

Hope this helped!

I`m not only a Zeppelin fanatic, but I have been collecting Zeppelin - including Jimmy Page and Robert Plant solo music & information - for over 27 years. I am truly a lover of Page/Plant music in & out of Zeppelin simply because of the honesty & integrity of it all. - I have been studying them for as long as I have been listening to Rock/Blues Music. Their interpretation of the blues is unlike any other. I look forward to any question and will answer the very best I can - as above all - I am just a fan like you! (Please understand my interest is in the music and people of REAL life; NOT in rumor or fantasy).
