Zeppelin wasn't really commercial

[JustinMetallicA]

Id have to disagree

[crazyriders83]

I think we need to draw a distinction between "commercial" and "successful". Commercial has negative connotations to it. It implies that a band spends more time licking corporate ass than making good music. Also it implies that the band makes music to get rich rather than to change the world. In such a sense "commercial" is akin to "sellout".

kiss is the number one they have been special guessest on many tv shows including shows like family guy and fairy odd parents

dude you got no fucking idea of what youre talking about. commercial doesnt mean to earn alot of money. commercial means TO ACT commercial, to get this publicity to make your music more popular, that is being commercial. kurt still earns money because he was one of the most passionate musicians. and metallica, they got famous without TV, internet, radio...and zeppelin?? hahaha do your homework lil boy.

I like bands who make music they hope no one will ever hear. I mean why start a band if people are going to listen?? Most of the bands on this video were different from the mass of music being made at the time, but people liked it and they became the dominate music you hear on the radio now. Nevermind,Sgt Pepper,Led Zep 1,Master Of Pup were very distinct for the time they were made. Who looked and sounded like Elvis before Elvis?

[MadMonsterMansion]

what if they were comercial, whats so wrong on having a huge list of fans if they still play good music i dont get it plus they all kick ass. I cant belive you dont like zeppelin and nirvana O.o

[Kidorid]

No Offence but I don't think you know what your talking about.

[meemeesiko57]

The Beatles are perhaps the LEAST commercial band of all time. "Commercial" is not the right word for this list. I think the "highest selling artists" would be more appropriate, or maybe the "most defining." But many of these bands really aren't that commercial, especially Nirvana and the Beatles. AC/DC isn't all that commercial. You've got a great list, there. It's just labeled a bit wrong.

And as for the below comments, Zeppelin are gods. End of discussion.

I'm not offended, but I simply can't trust anybody that doesn't like LED ZEPPELIN, and try to talk about music...

[gotzou]

so what?... would Dixon scream and entertain like Plant? make such a fantastic grooves like Jones/Bonham? or do aything that Jimmy "magician" Page did? Led Zep did inmortal and epic renditions to Dixon's songs so I think there is nothing to say about that.

cheers.

many thanks to courtney love and major record labels,nirvana are still sickeningly commercial 15 years later.With The Lights Out is a disgrace!

Its low quality cassettes the kind of stuff which is bootlegged and lying around in a cardboard box for years and biodegrading and most of it is boombox/4-track recorded.

they ran outta money and stuff to release so they commmercialized some bootleg mp3s.

you know whats ironic?everytime i try to download a nirvana rarity,the file has been deleted
