Led Zeppelin is still my favorite band of all time.

Lynyrd Skynyrd.

Led. FTW.

[Zero!]

Even though I like Stairway to Heaven, that's the ONLY song I like by Led Zeppelin. I hate the lead singer's screaming voice
So I voted for Lynyrd Skynyrd.

[Dragonfire]

Led Zeppelin definitely.

Suggestions: Nirvana, Red Hot Chili Peppers.

[____amanda]

Lynyrd Skynyrd.
Simply because of "Sweet Home Alabama"
