From their generation, I'd say that both Skynyrd and Sabbath were better as their body of work was more consistant, and not as pretentious as a lot of Zepp. Queen on the other hand, did pretentious but were far more commercial, hence their acceptance by just about anyone and everyone!
I'd rate Queen far ahead of Zepp!
I think that's pretty dead on. Skynyrd, up until the crash, never made themselves out to be more than just some country boys from Florida playing music and making money. Some songs had a social message (Mr. Saturday Night Special), but they were mostly making music about their lives.
whomod said: I generally don't like it when people decide to play by the rules against people who don't play by the rules. It tends to put you immediately at a disadvantage and IMO is a sign of true weakness. This is true both in politics and on the internet."
