>>Just like anyone did Dylan's songs better than mr. Zimmerman himself. Not that the music is comparable, of course. Actually, once 120/12V did his song, they screwed it totally by adding about twenty unnecessary yeahiyeahiyeahs.

That's my reason for still thinking that Zeppelin were a great band - because they did acoustic too, and did them quite well, and even put them on their regular albums. They never had this "we're a hardrock/heavymetal/justmetal/heavymental band, we don't do acoustic" attitude. They just did the music they liked.
The latter hard/heavy/etc bands just imitated what they (or their producers) thought would sell well. No guts to do an experiment. I'm waiting for years for someone to combine heavy guitars with a cool voice of, say, Amanda Lear or Leonard Cohen, or just to play heavy without screaming. They barely push a single finger out of the cage of their genre. Which isn't rock'n'roll then IMO, it's just moneymaking.
Which means that I still don't distinguish G'n'R from AC/DC, and think that they had a total of one good song (November rain, whichever of the two it was).
