I don't know about anywhere else, but Zeppelin gets way more airplay than
Chicago, in Toronto. Also, didn't you ever notice the best Zep songs are
the ones you don't hear on the radio? The same goes for Chicago.  Like I
said, buy at least Chicago Transit Authority & Chicago II, you won't be
sorry.  

Another thing on this best guitarist (or whatever instrument player)
debate that I've always wanted to say is that In my opinion, there's a
point where a guitarist (as far as technical virtuosity) gets to the top
of his craft...both Page and Kath were there in '69, and lots of other
guitarists that get compared with Page (Blackmore, Iommi, etc, etc.)
reached that point early in their recording careers too.  The thing is,
there's usually one guitarist that really touches you (not like that
McCue <g>). For me, Page & Kath are about equal...I'm sure for most of you
Page is #1.  All I'm saying, is don't discount some of the other
guitarists and bands you hear about, you may be surprised how much you
like them.  

Aiming for the deathlist..
