We’re unable to find Jack Black’s favorite bands however according to Ultimateclassicrock.com which was published in 2012, Jack Black hails Led Zeppelin as the greatest rock and roll band of all time.
“Led Zeppelin, the greatest rock and roll band of all time,” Black continued, “better that the Beatles, better than the Stones, even better than Tenacious D.”
As the camera scanned the crowd, a seemingly approving Michele Obama applauded and gave a smile of sorts, while John Paul Jones, Robert Plant and Jimmy Page looked on, grinning ear to ear and laughing. Black was quick to defend his position, “If you don’t agree with me, it’s because you never did the Zeppelin marathon,” he said, “the Zep-athon is where you sit your a$s down and listen to all nine Zep albums in a row, the thing that every true fan must do at least once in their lifetime. (It’s) the pilgrimage to heavy metal mecca.”
Black then humorously addressed a famous rumor about the group:
“They say that Led Zeppelin sold their souls to Satan…come on guys, you know you did, there’s no other way to explain your ungodly talents. While you’re in hell, the human race will cherish your heavenly jams til the end of time.” Smiles and laughter abounded form the Zep camp (not to mention Letterman, Guy and the Obamas). In closing, Black put it very simply, “We love you…best band ever.”
