That's it, that's the list. You can't beat Led Zeppelin....better musicians than just about anybody, and they get off like crazy live...amazing amazing playing, and the most rocking stuff there ever has been, and probably ever will be. Any of their albums are amazing, but you must get How The West Was Won to get the full scale of their live performances...
Oh yeah, and guitar playing? Jimmy Page is a god.
Yes, if you want someone singing as if their balls are stuck in a vise, listen to Led Zeppelin.
I wouldn't go so far as to say they suck, because they don't, but I simply can't STAND that guy's voice. It's horrible. Just as bad as Geddy Lee from Rush, if not worse. The only Zeppelin song I can stand is Stairway to Heaven.
As for less singing, more music, Metallica has some "musical" songs. Orion, Call of Ktulu... Chimaira has a kickass musical song but it's like 13 minutes long.
