4:05Now Playing"The Beatles are out" - Brian Ash.
Readers of Melody Maker have voted Led Zeppelin the best world group, ending an eight-year sweep of the award by The Beatles. Melody Maker editor Ray Coleman considers this usurping of the Beatles nothing less than a revolution in popular music - the end of music fans' obsession with personality and celebrity, and a move towards a wider appreciation of younger bands.
Bob Wellings - who, like many dads, has not heard of them - sits down with Robert Plant and John Bonham of Led Zeppelin in their first ever appearance on British television. Sure, they're cool, they're groovy, they're the best band in the world - but can you whistle their tunes?
