You're right, I would not say 'anyone' but only a very few. Please note that
Jimmy's not a very skilled and/or technical player (let's see the flames
now...)
DON'T GET ME WRONG, IMHO, he's still the best !
I would more qualify Jimmy as one of the best musician ever, since his
skills not only include guitar playing, but also writing, producing...

>He is very talented and has incredible live performances,

No doubt, but IMHO, Jimmy is also a studio/recording guru

No comment (see above).

Definitely.

There's no age to love Zep, I'm 30, I grew-up with Zep, Deep Purple, Alice
Cooper, AC/DC, Iron Maiden, but also Bach, Vivaldi, Beethoven.... I've three
kids, my wife was pregnant (of the third one) when we saw P/P in Paris back
in June 95), and she told me he apparently enjoyed it a lot from inside (uh,
let's say... 'in utero'...). While taking care of my kids education, I'm
making sure they're growing up with strong/broad musical tastes, and this of
course includes (but not exclusively) LZ...

No Zephead talking can ever be boring !
