"Bonham better drummer
Jones better bassist
Page better guitarist
Not much between Plant & Mercury, Freddie possibly just edges it.
Zeppelin for me."
I’m not sure there’s much between drummer or bassist in either band. All solid - but none of them distinctive.
Both guitarists have written memorable riffs. Overall, Brian May’s guitar sound and technique is instantly recognisable whereas you would never listen to a record and spot that it was Jimmy Page, regardless of his talent and ability. Probably because of his years as a session musician (other than around 1964 when he was the only person it seems that owned a fuzz box).
You don’t listen to “Downtown” by Petula Clark and say, “Wow, that’s Jimmy Page on guitar.” (But it is).
Freddie way outperforms Plant in terms of vocal range - and strength.
Neither band would be my immediate choice. I prefer The ‘Oo #WontGetFooledAgain |
