great music (that they stole) boring. Jimmy Page is a very good
session guitarist. All of the great Yardbirds solos were done by
either Clapton or Beck. Robert Plant's voice is annoying. I suppose if
you're a stoned 14 year old boy that they could be entertaining.- Hide quoted text -
I don't think they're shit, but I do think they're overrated.
Particulary 1 and 2..3 is OK in places..4 is a cracking album as is
HOTH...PG is middling (Kasmir's good)..Prescence is not that great
(save for ALS)..and ITTOD is pretty weak (save for ITE)...
They're OK.

Led Zeppelin OWNED the 70s for rock. They did what many legendary
British bands did -- raped the black blues, and put their own 'style' on
it. And we all loved it, and ate it up.
I appreciate that you like the band. But is very shallow analysis of a
band which dabbled in all sorts of music like Indian music, Latin
music, Reggae, Funk, Country, Folk etc. Many of their best songs are
acoustic.
Post by P-DubLZ wrote great songs, performed them with maximum energy, and sold a
shitload of records. These guys are the richest bastards that ever
rocked and rolled.
Doubt it. Beatles have to be richer than them.
Post by P-DubThe biggest problem with them is that their stuff was highly overplayed
Wrong. Depends upon which station you listen to. In Houston we have
two rock stations and they seem to play a variety of Zeppelin songs. I
think they have played every Zeppelin song from their first five
albums (except the instrumental ones) and those two covers on LZ I.
Post by P-Dubby AM and FM radio stations from the 70s until today. And - like with
many other bands - there's a very limited list of songs that are played
Wrong, wrong and completely wrong. Zeppelin have way too many songs
that were hits and played on radio. Compare that to The Who. They have
about 10 songs which you will hear on radio.
Post by P-Dubover and over and over and over again. There are many other songs that
do not appear on the radio that are excellent.
Very few of their excellent songs do not get played - Hey Hey What Can
I Do and Travelling Riverside Blues for example. But I hear all their
best songs from their eight studio albums quite often.
Post by P-DubThey actually are a very talented band.
And I f'n LOVE PRESENCE. Recorded in 6 days. Great f'n guitar. Great
drums. Great everything. Every f'n note.
Presence is my least favorite album of theirs. But it is still good.
They never made a bad album just like The Beatles. The only difference
I find between them and The Beatles and the Beatles recorded way too
many songs in their albums. There is not a single Beatles album in
which I do not skip 3 songs or more.
