Zeppelin was never my cup of tea, but I agree that pop music did a nose dive round about the mid-1980s, although IMHO that particular malaise lasted throughout the 1990s, and the recovery since has been only slight. Of course, every period has plenty of crap pop music, but the distinct lack of anything contemporary worth listening to in that period was depressing.

Won? No party wins with our archaic electorial system.
