Maybe. Plant's voice drives me a little batty. & classic rock radio has probably ruined half the songs on the album for me. Maybe if I see it for like a buck in the used LP section.

I'd Say go with III, houses of the holy & Physical Graffiti.

yep.

Zeppelin is a fucking bore.

It is spelt sitar but the song isn't played on one as far as I know, sounds like an open tuned acoustic.

Anyhow, Zepelin are unfortunate in the sense that they invariably get lumped in with Sabeth, Iron Maiden and all of those other (an odd good tune not withstanding) shitty, Spinal Tap type bands. In reality they wern't even in the same league, or even playing the same game.

If you feel you can tolerate a little bit of musical obesity then go all out and gorge on Pysical Graffiti, if not get something earlier and fresher like III, though IV is a good start too.

It is not something you can do without.

I wouldn't bother. There's too much really good music to spend your $'s on, rather than this overblown, overrated, out-of-date dad rock.

SABBATH. Spell it fucking right. They are far better than ZEPPELIN and I don't even like Sabbath.

Sometimes it's good to skip a potentially good band for monetary reasons. I won't listen to the Greatful Dead because of how much shit they have. I like hippies, but hell no. That would inevitably end in $500+ out the window.

great idea

I have a copy of American Beauty in my collection. I often look at it and wonder why I do.

Agreed.

That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard. I totally hate the Sonic board sometimes, and it's because of stuff like this. Too good for Led Zeppelin? I seriously doubt it, especially in your case.

that's like saying you don't want to listen to sonic youth. having so much other stuff to check out, why consider listening to a bunch pseudo-intellectual ironic hipster crap bandwagon-jumping noise band.

(meaning stereotypes, generalizations and closed mindness suck)

and to the guy who thinks black S-A-B-B-A-T-H suck and are worse than zeppelin, you are fucking deaf ignorant. period.

fyi: just because bands don't have long hair or wear spandex doesn't mean they are not "spinal tap-ish". most rock bands (any genre and subgenre you can think of) are a giant stupid humorless stereotype.

I'm too good for overrated shit. You aren't?

Oh pffftttt...

Yeah, whatever, mom....

I know I am. I've now decided Led Zep can kiss my ass!

I wouldn't even let those fucks get close to my ass.

Yet you've never even heard one of their albums. Good going, idiot.

This coming from someone who listens to Sufjan Stevens.
