Guys, if you like old school classic rock, and who doesn't? Check out "The Cult" on the album "Electric". It kicks crazy ass. Its just real simple old time rock, I love that album.

Bob Seager is extremely underrated IMO.
His style reminds me of the Boss, but I think Seager puts him to shame.

I like their drum, bass, and guitar but I don't like Robert Plant's vocals. He just goes overboard sometimes.

He sounds like his pants are a bit tight. But I have never really minded his vocals.

I think Plant's voice is classic. I'm burned out on Zeppilin becuase of their overexposure on the radio,etc, but no doubt they are one of a kind and an all time great.
