Totally. NONE of the music I listen today would exist without him.

IMO he should have gotten a Nobel Prize for his accomplishments. Seriously. Name another invention that radically changed something that has touched every single human being in America.

20 and 30-something have NO idea the overwhelming influence LP had on ALL types of music.

agree on the nobel prize.

wrong
20 somethings maby

but not 30's, I am 32 and my brother is 34 and we both grew up in the late 80's to early 90's listening to Led Zep, Aerosmith, Kiss
all LP playing guitarists

LP made most guitarists what they are today with that sound

just go listen to kiss black diamond on youtube and you will see a Les Paul in the 70's rip some faces off

94 was a good age of someone of his generation to achieve.

Very good age. I didn't even know he was still alive.
