I often think about stellar albums. The ones where they're really isn't a skip-able track. Off the top of my head, these come to mind: The Beach Boys Pet Sounds, Collective Soul Collective Soul (blue album), Bush 16 Stone, and Green Day Dookie. What are some of your perfect albums?

Curious about your thoughts on the Greta Van Fleet "they're a Zeppelin ripoff" stuff. I like their music and I'm hoping they are able to shake that reputation a bit. Also, apparently I've only listened to From The Fires and Anthem of the Peaceful Army, so apparently I've got some catching up to do.

Also, first post on lemmy, lets gooooooooo!

I've heard abit about this too. At the time I heard of it I'd actually never listened to a single Zeppelin track, it made me curious (who could come close to the genius of Greta!!??) . I've been listening to their albums and there is definitely a resemblance in their music styles.
At this point I can't really say that Greta "ripped off" of Led Zeppelin since I'm new to their music. But I like it so far, definitely my kind of sound.

Am I the only who thinks they sound more like Rush than Zeppelin?? To me their singer sounds like a dead ringer for Geddy Lee

Oh I definitely hear a ton of Rush in them too, as well as more diverse 60s/70s influences, and even some 90s alt (Mountain of the Sun in particular). It's basically just Highway Tune and Safari Song that have gotten them branded as a Zeppelin ripoff - understandably in the case of those two songs. The singer is definitely heavily influenced by Robert Plant (although as you say his voice has more of a Geddy Lee timbre to it or something) and the guitarist by Jimmy Page for sure.
