    Nothing suprising about Jimmy Page liking Soundgarden... Of all the bands to come out of the "grunge scene" (if there ever really was such a thing), I think Soundgarden was the one where the influence of Led Zeppelin was the most audible, even though NOT in an obvious way like on Greta Van Fleet's 1st album... Of course Soundgarden had there own original signature and they truly deserve to be considered as originals but when it comes to finding links with Led Zeppelin inTHAT specific "scene" of bands coming out of Seattle, to me, Soundgarden really is the one where the most similarities with Led Zep can be heard (in a good way, like natural heirs who weren't trying to be).

    Someone said to me once, in highschool, I'm class of 92... That uh...nirvana were like the Beatles, Soundgarden were led Zeppelin, pearl jam were rolling stones, Alice in chains were black Sabbath___ I thought about it, and said, " yea sure that's probably right on I like that." I mean, it's all a matter of opinion in the end, but I like that parallel....you know.🎸👍🏻 I'm so glad I got to see Alice in chains before Layne passed...and STP..RHCP...SILVERCHAIR...DAYS OF THE NEW...I saw but didn't know then who they were ...
    I wish I could have seen nirvana. It's weird that my parents saw zeppelin and pink Floyd jethrol tull__ and now I told my 2 daughters that I saw a few great Rock bands. I hope my girls get to see great bands, and keep passing it down.👍🏻🙂

    Not surprised at Jimmy liking Soundgarden because they are very heavy in sound content , energy and production and as good as any 70s heavy rock band and I'm 61 and grew up listening to Zepp from day one and the 90s can make a bold statement and go up against the 70s with super groups like Mad Season. The musical content and energy is all there and all there own and this was underground during the 80s like the 60s and early 70s had its own underground movement! Very similar in that context and there are many more bands that I'm not listing here.

    It's way off to say that America didn't get its own version of punk rock until grunge happened. The Ramones and NYC's Punk Magazine predated the '77 UK explosion, plus members of several key early UK punk bands were inspired by seeing the Ramones when those guys toured the UK in 1976. The US punk scene was never as commercially successful as the UK version, but the 80s DIY scene in the US kept the punk spirit alive until it eventually broke into the mainstream via the grunge movement.

      I suppose it depends on how you define 'punk'. In the UK, punk wasn't just a style of music but an overt anti establishment attitude... in fact, maybe more of an attitude than a style of music, since that style was very, very brief, and mutated into other styles whilst retaining the attitude. Was US punk anti establishment? I have no idea. But punk here is certainly as much of an ethos as it is a style of music.

    I’m a huge Aerosmith fan because I love good songs that last 6 to 8 minutes long like “ Light my fire “ or “ Crying “ by Aerosmith.
    Nirvana songs and a lot of Alternative songs last 4 minutes long.
    But he is right how music lovers were fed up with Led Zeppelin and classic rock bands because we are from a different era.
    I did get into those bands as a teenager but Alternative was my preference at the time.
    I will say I do like one Pink Floyd song “ wish you were here “
    But it is a depressing song.

      @@padzzz9377 Nothing tarnishes Zeppelins musical reputation or legacy. For people who really know the bands music, Presence is really, really good. I have it as their 3rd best album behind LZ one or Physical Graffiti. For overall depth and diversity. I know IV sold a ton and had Stairway, and II had Whole Lotta Love, but those aren't the songs that really totally define what made the band so great. In Thru The Out Door is a good album. Maybe not as great as the others, but definitely not a bust either. CODA was ok. It was really a bunch of outtakes and B sides dating all the way back to the bands inception. Not for everyone, but then again, not horrible. It had Darlene. Wearing and Tearing. Poor Tom. Ozone Baby. A live version of Willie Dixons I can't Quit you Baby. A drums only song called Bonzos Montreux, highlighting Bonzos genius on drums. Maybe it was mostly for fans, but there again, not horrible. They were already broken up by that point. Look how many crappy albums the Stones have put out. They haven't had one that anybody but their biggest fans would like since Tattoo You in 1981. 40 yrs. Zeppelin are the greatest ever and nothing can detract from that.
