Joel has a point - the bands he listed have stood the test of time. But I disagree with him generally because I think a few of the bands that are around now shit all over the generally-speaking boring and monotonous older bands you listed. They've taken the platforms built by the Zeppelin's and the Black Sabbath's and created something over the top of that which is more exciting, more complicated and generally more intense.

Plus: My dad owns the full back catalogue of a couple of the bands you mentioned on vinyl - I've heard enough of it to know that it's about as interesting as a new Vanilla Ice album.
