I actually like a lot of classic rock (yes even Hotel California, that solo kicks ass) but there is a lot of bad classic rock too. What do you think the worst classic rock song is? What is the most overrated band or artist? I think Supertramp is mid at best, but Bob Seeger is truly dreadful.

Yeah exactly. Zepplin, and plenty of other rock musicians at the time, just stole from blues musicians and black musicians and artists without giving any credits. At least Dave Grohl was a lot better in this regard, he just took inspiration from disco and funk drummers (didn't directly copy or steal), and has even acknowledged it in interviews.

Oh no wonder the lead singer from RHCP gives me creepy vibes, didn't know that but it explains it now.
