I'm 47. In the 70s my twin brother and I battled over who was best: Zep or ELO?

a. Guess who I was with?
b. I've stayed consistent. Hahahahahaha.....

As a guitarist and a bassist I would have to say yes. Gotta give em props, they're one of the best of all time. JPJ is a bass madman.
I do have to say that I don't really like anything they did after Houses of the Holy. Presence is decent, I guess, but In through the Out door and Coda are vomit land.

So true.

Rob Instigator · 11.09.2009, 11:03 AM

I dig on some songs, but cannot listen to more than 2-3 in a row befor I get fed up with Plant's vocal foppery.
Growing up, everyone is exposed to zeppelin, especially if you roll with the metal crowd, but I was always a Sabbath guy. I'll listen to any Ozzy-era sabbath over any zeppelin anyday. even "changes".

I REALLY hate when that fuck Plant croons "...and a pocketful of gold."
I FUCKING WANNA KILLL WHEN I HEAR THAT SHIT!

Maybe Zep gets a lot of bad rap because they instigated the era of BIG DUMB ROCK? Not their tunes, but the tune sof every loser copycat? whitesnake and kingdom come come to mind.

SONIC GAIL · 11.09.2009, 11:08 AM

I think my husband gets fed up after 3 songs in a row of me imitating Plant's vocal foppery. He's a great singer...until he's alone

Rob Instigator · 11.09.2009, 11:09 AM

so yr sayin he is a great singer until you can hear him.

haha!!!!

I agree!

FUCK ROBERT PLANT!

SONIC GAIL · 11.09.2009, 11:16 AM

I do like his singing. He just sucks solo.

Rob Instigator · 11.09.2009, 11:53 AM

fuck robert plant I says!!!!!

Satan · 11.09.2009, 11:57 AM

robert plant is a great singer but he can be a bit much sometimes

haha i'm listening to them right now. no quarter.

Rob Instigator · 11.09.2009, 12:07 PM

he is great when he is belting out the bombastic RAWK. when he is crooning , and he does this in lots of zep songs, it makes me wanna barf.

Satan · 11.09.2009, 12:44 PM

shut the fuck up and let jimmy go (skip to 3.00 or http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g9xCP...eature=related)

SuperCreep · 11.09.2009, 12:54 PM

As long as he isn't doing his "BABYBABYBABYBABY" shtick, Plant is listenable for me, but I don't like him either way. Weakest part of the band, easily.

Same with Ozzy, except I find him slightly more tolerable.

Rob Instigator · 11.09.2009, 12:58 PM

but ozzy wrote the dope lyrics.

Satan · 11.09.2009, 01:06 PM

led zep are best when bob shuts his fucking mouth and lets the dark lord take over

Massenvernichtungswaffen · 11.09.2009, 01:29 PM

Led Zep = John Paul Jones, Jimmy Page and John Bonham..
I don't think I'm forgetting anyone important.

SpectralJulianIsNotDead · 11.09.2009, 04:09 PM

I like them well enough, usually would prefer to listen to other stuff though.

Every once-in-awhile though. . . Dazed and Confused.

Generally their weirder stuff is the best. The alternate tuning stuff, and the super psychedelic drugged out stuff. Their blues and country type stuff is good, but there were so many other bands doing that kind of stuff, and it's kind of masturbatory.

When they do Rain Song in Song Remains the Same though. . . .hahaha they were fucking cheesy weren't they? But that's sort of part of their charm.

Let's not ignore the whole Celtic Rock thing that came from Donovan's Hurdy Gurdy man which produced by JPJ and may have had Jimmy Page and John Bonham on as well, as Donovan claims but JPJ and Jimmy Page refute. If they were, I'd say that's Zeppelin's best song.
