I was born in 88, Zeppelin was the first music I got into. Classic rock and then other things. My dad's coworker taught me to play drums and his kit was Bonham-sized, lent it to me for years and gave me rock albums to listen to and learn. Zeppelin IV was the one.

There were a lot of streamlined classic rock rehashes happening when I was a teenager, I think there was a marketing thing going on with that. School of Rock....And stuff like Arctic Monkeys...White Stripes. I did not like the sound of grunge or Nirvana or 90's music at first, the 60's and 70's sounded better right away.

I played in a Zeppelin cover band a few years back. It was fun. People get into it, old and young people came out.

I was a massive fan of Omar Rordriguez Lopez and the Mars Volta, still am. Saw them a few times and the rhythm section takes it to the moon. He does some super out there stuff but lots of Santana and Zeppelin stylings.
