I think MJ and Elvis should be on the list, they just weren't as important as they were made out to be. Led Zep probably should, everything after "IV" wasn't great at all...
Led Zepplin has amazing musical talent though. I don't know, I think almost every longer-lived band goes a little weird in the end, that doesn't mean they sucked alltogether. Look at Metallica, amazing talent but their later music just blows, that doesn't make them any less talented. MJ, same, got REAL weird....but amazing dancer and had great vision for videos and ideas for songs. Elvis too, he got weird. I think those guys all deserve their place in music history just for talent and longevity, so what if they made a couple "off" albums.
Well Led Zep weren't around that long! Not much longer than 10 years...and look what the Beatles and Metallica did in that time. Metallica's best stuff was their first 10 years, the Beatles only made 8 years of music...Led Zep went to the top and back down again in that time! However, you may be right about MJ and Elvis. I do see your point, both were around for several decades, and both got "wierd".
I completely agree with what you said about Metallica. I love their early stuff, and Death Magnetic was good too. The Black Album has it's merits, but Load, ReLoad, and St. Anger were just ugh. Also, I don't care what Lars did, Metallica made good music, I really don't care if they ruined Napster.
Most overrated band/artist of all time?
