Maybe because Led Zep were the most overrated band ever?

With the possible exception of Oasis and U2, natch.

Did they hurt that much?

They give me hope for the future. I was blindly following Mrs D around Asda recently when a young lass, maybe 14, clocked the symbols on my forearm and said to her Ma "look Mum, Led Zeppelin!" She's clearly been brought up right.

I have noticed that on all these threads there's a notable lack of acoustic and jazz players mentioned. And "nice" jokes aside, the finger-pickers and the bluegrassers and the gypsy jazzers and the jazz double bass players are probably some of the best in the world. Just saying.

Can't think of anyone better than Mc at the moment.

I'm a little surprised that John Paul Jones hasn't yet had a mention.

Shout out for Geddy Lee (well I would, 'cos my favourite band is Rush), but there's no doubt that he's a talented player. He always described himself as 'a bass player first, a singer second and a keyboard player a distant third'.

Bernard Edwards for those fantastic bubbling bass lines.
Tina Weymouth, whose bassline on on TH's version of 'Take Me To The River' made me go down to Tin Pan Alley one lunchtime many years ago and come back to work with an Aria Pro II and a small amp. That was about 30 years ago. Still can't play it. (But I have played the drums for 35 years, so it's not like I haven't been doing anything.)

Anyone ever thought of forming CycleChat band? Chances are we've got at least 'one of everything'!

Good idea. Suggestions for names...

Welshie's Bloomers.

Forbidden Y Fronts.

Flouncing Drago and The Sprockets.

The Low Gear Spinners.

Melting Carbon.

The Close Passers.

Lance O'Classic's Rusty Rim Orchestra.

Slime Filled Tube.


There are certainly enough muso's whereabouts to come up with a band.

My bass playing friend rates Pino Palladino as the best bassist. He mainly uses a fretless bass.
he is best known as a very well respected session player and gun for hire.
