the problem with the above statement regarding loving the beatles or zepplein when you have not heard that much other music is that MOST MUSIC after the beatles was and is influenced by the beatles, either directly or indirectly, which is kind of like saying "people like Picasdso more when they have not seen other art" when every bit of "other art" after Picasso is either influenced by, or a direct confrontation of, Picasso.
in that sense, the beatles are the greatest rock band ever.
helter skelter baby, helter skelter.

I'm not talking about influence at all. I couldn't possibly care less whether or not a band that I like was influenced by the Beatles. What it comes down to is that said band IS NOT THE BEATLES, which is the important thing here, seeing as how I do not like the Beatles. And just because the Beatles were so darn popular, it doesn't mean that everything that came after them was a direct result of the Beatles. There were other bands around at the time, you know, as well as before that.
And for the record, Motley Crue's version of Helter Skelter is much better than the original. I've said it before, and not once has it been a joke.
