Never knew that side of him as he was semi retired by then. His son warren was in to Skateboarding as I was then so he turned the ballet room into an indoor park ... but not only that he had a load of Z-flex decks flown in direct from the states ... unbelievable anything you wanted you could have. Even let us drive his black 911 ... Reg was BAD 1 ... great days ... who remembers Airrace?

Go back a couple of posts and you will see. But in answer to your question, anything post prog-rock. We all have different opinions mate. Don't be so touchy.
 
Not criticizing anyone's taste, That would be rude, ignorant and pointless, just a bit surprised at how consistently the metal/ hard rock genre seems to be favored. I love Zep by the way, a proper, loud, blues band. Just struggle a bit when they get into Tolkein territory. Was very lucky to see them at the O2 for the Atlantic records blokes memorial reunion. Great to see the kids jaws drop when they realized how loud and messy these old geezers were. John Paul Jones also involved in a nasty little band called Them Crooked Vultures with Dave Grohl from Nirvana/ Foo Fighters. Worth a listen, my rockin friends.
I like a load of stuff, but core tastes were defined by Thames delta r'n'b - the Feelgoods - and 76-77 punk, ska and reggae. All disposable stuff, but heavy on attitude.

For the Floyd fans, check this out. It has Gilmours seal of approval

The Sound (with Adrian Borland on vocals) were the most under-estimated band in my opinion. All time favourites are JoyDivision/New Order. Probably nowhere near as technically gifted as a lot of the people you are mentioning but they did it for me!
 
Im not entirelly stucked in 70's. I like also Nirvana ,Alice in Chains,Oasis ,Dire Straits and Joe Bonamassa
 
There's a lot of very derivative rock on here. why not listen to the real thing?

Hold on, I'll get the 78s out.......John Lee Hooker, Howlin Wolf, dozens of others the true originators of all this, with the right model - live on the road, write about what you know. Keith Richards' autobiography a laugh as well.
 
I saw Queen at the NEC in the mid eighties and they were unbelievably good!! One of the best live bands ever!! (Remember Live Aid?!!).
