Except every band you listed is actually great. see, if you just don't listen to classic rock radio and listen to the ALBUMS by Sabbath, Zep, Floyd, the Who, Skynyrd, et al, you get past the BS songs that the radio format shoves down a person's throat, and you get the whole picture and can truly appreciate their greatness. On the flip side, as a kid I was exposed to repeated spins of Journey Escape and Captured and Departure, REO's Can't Tune A Piano,Cheap Trick's Dream Police & Budokan, foreinger's 4 (**** Mutt Lange, btw), Styx Kilroy and Grand Illusion, etc. I've heard ALL that shit. Styx SUCKS. Dennis DeYoung is ****ing ANNOYING. His voice is nails on a chalkboard, personafied. Plus, all the Foreigners, REOs, Journeys, Bostons, etc sonically SOUND the same - cut from the same 70s AOR cookie-cutter cloth. Not only can you really not tell the difference from album to album, even band to band. Conversely, Pink Floyd's Animals sounds NOTHING like Meddle. At all. Led Zeppelin III and Presence sound like different ****ing BANDS. The Who Sell Out and Who's Next both sound radically different from Who Are You or It's Hard. Sabbath's Never Say Die is a far cry from their first record...and the raw, rocking Queen II is a far cry from the productions of Jazz or News Of the World.

Turn the radio to a station other than 101.1 The Fox.

Satellite radio is the devil. I hate around 3000 vinyl records, around 40,000 CDs and abot 5TBs of everything you can name : classical, jazz, rock, pop, punk, soul, blues, etc. Everything in analog or FLAC format. Mp3s are for little girls to listen to dance music on their ipods. Shit-tons of live recordings and studio outtakes, etc. Bootlegs are my shit. I've taken it to such an extreme that anything commercially available is considered pedestrian. I laugh at Satellite radio, because it sounds like dogshit.

great at not sounding like other bands or like themselves all the time.
That is, if you've actually heard the albums and not just the songs on the radio.
