The great what ifs of music . . .

What if Bonham hadn't died when he did? Could Zeppelin have endured the change into the 1980s better than most great 1970s bands did?
What if Mick Taylor had stayed with Jack Bruce to write new stuff, record, and tour on it, rather than being "one tour and done" in 1975 and then going off the map?
What if Tommy Bolin hadn't gotten the Deep Purple gig, but instead kept more of a foot in the fusion world?
Good question about Zep. Not sure what to think what would have hapened. I know I read somewhere that Jimmy and Bonham wanted to return to a heavier sound after In Through The Outdoor.
Tommy was a monster player and he could be very dangerous on stage when putting his Strat on. That dude was fire!!!!

Everyone has a plan, till you get punched in the face,

what if Les Paul did not invent multitrack recording

What if Rowland doesn't build this amazing website?
Right on! There should be a Grammy Award for music fan sites. Rowland should be given an 8' tall one!
Lana and Rowland should have won every year.

What if Gregg had written a song after the 70s? 😮
What if Tony Iommi had stayed with Jethro Tull?

What if disco hadn't sucked?
