Nope.

They were talented and influential, but I'm not a fan.

As far as bands go, hard to think of many more influential.

For solo acts, I'd say Hank Williams Sr is the most influential of all time. Country and rock benefited greatly from Luke the Drifter.

I always thought Steely Dan was vapid, never cared for them.

My friends and I always referred to them as female wanna be Led Zeppelin...

I just watched Celebration Day a week or so ago (the reunion concert Led Zeppelin filmed at the O2 arena back in ’07).

Great stuff. Robert Plant mentioned in-between songs that it was a bit of a challenge to pick a good representation of their catalog for the show, but I don’t think there was a poor choice in the bunch.

I couldn't get the video to post, but here is the link:

Damn Chew, that has to be one of his lesser known songs. Good one though. (The first one you posted...)

It was one of his later songs, one of the songs that if read between the lines, he knew he wasn't gonna be around much longer. He wrote some morbid songs for the time towards the end.
