I listened to 'Classic Rock' yesterday...

"Classic Rock" in quotes not because I think it's classic, but because it's the kind of music that guys who are serious about rock always seem to really go for.

Side 4 of Rush's "Exit...Stage Left"

Who's Next

Neil Young's "After the Gold Rush" (in which, by the way, I found remnants of some very old pot. So whoever donated it to Goodwill killed too many brain cells to remember where they left their stash.)

Led Zeppelin (the first)

I like The Who well enough, but I've never really developed a taste for the others. I just want to know what the hardcore fans see in these groups. By that, I mean besides "I like 'em because they're f-ing awesome!" I want to know why you think they're awesome. What is it about the music that you like?
