A very popular rock band that compromised their raw energetic music to become a
radio friendly Top 40 staple in order to pack
arenas full of teenaged girls. They have a huge fan base who consider them to be one of the greatest rock bands of all time mainly because they are one of only a few "rock" bands out there at this point in time. Their sound is characterized by very basic song structures limited to four chords or less, generic lyrics, virtually no lead guitar or solos and a general absence of the blues.
Dude 1: "Yo the Kings of Leon are so amazing! They are like the best rock band ever."
Dude 2: "Really, you think so? Listen to this band called Led
Zeppelin and let me know what you think..."
Later that week...
Dude 1: "Umm, Zeppelin
blew my mind. Sorry man I should have done more research before making that statement."
Dude 2: "It's ok everyone makes mistakes. Now go and enjoy your
new life."
