Those were good days, the best times for growing up as a youngster.

The Yardbirds, one of the great bands from the British Invasion, back in the day. If not mistaken, Clapton and Jeff Beck were also a part of that band at one time.
Jimmy Page...one of the best guitarist who played with one of the greatest, if not the greatest rock and roll band of all time.....Zeppelin rocked out.
Music has went straight down the hill since those days, with the exception of some great blues bands that have kept it going.
to each his own, there has been really really good music since then. It's just that most people are always going to put the classics as the best simply because they are the classics.
I still love Zeppelin, and I didn't grow up in that era.
As far as the guitar goes, there really hasn't been the type of groundbreaking innovation since Page, Hendrix, Clapton, Beck etc. An argument could be made for Eddie Van Halen, but even that was 30 years ago. The Edge and Lindsay Buckingham have unique sounds, but they don't have the raw talent of the others.

I never thought much of Lindsey Buckingham's playing either, until I recently saw them live. He is much better and interesting to watch/listen than the albums ever let on.
We don't have to agree with each other, to respect each others opinion.
that's not a Yardbirds song either. Tiny Bradshaw (great blues/jazz guy from Youngstown!!!!) wrote the song though it sounds nothing like this one (the version we know now was first done by the Trio). he also wrote "well, oh well" and I have seen him credited from fans with the music riffs from "sweet black angel" though he is not accredited on the song.
my favorite version of the song was done by Taj Mahal at the Monterrey Blues Festival (Labor Day Weekend 2001). But, that's extremely biased by the fact that I somehow ended up front row and was fully engorged on a full day of amazing blues music.
