tel Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 Led zeppelin,often hailed as the biggest, baddest rock band of all time ,but do you agree? Do zep still deserve this accolade? did they ever deserve it? ive always found them hit and miss and failed to understand the hype surrounding them. i find them ok but thats it really. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Powderfinger Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 I at times feel Jimmy Page is a little overrated. He was pretty sloppy live and he was just copping a lot of blues songs on those early records. But while Led Zeppelin might not be everyone's personal cup of tea I don't know how one constructs a viable argument against them as a vastly important and mostly impressive band. Not that I was alive at the time, but everything I've read and heard suggests that they were so incredibly powerful when they arrived on the scene. They seemed to just blow the roof off. JPJ and Bonham grooved hard. How can you not give it up for those two, at the very least? They just seemed so heavy coming out of the gate, alongside Sabbath and The Who circa Live at Leeds. Just sheer musical force. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Priest of Syrinx Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 Mick Jagger may have been as influential a front man as Robert Plant, Keith Moon may have been as big of an influence as Bonzo on future generations of drummers, Ritchie Blackmore may have influenced as many guitarists as Jimmy Page, but it was only Led Zeppelin that combined all three in the 70's. Maybe I'm missing somebody - I'm posting while working - but only The Who comes close in this regard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rod in Toronto Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 The problem is, they're SUCH an influence on virtually all styles of music, and have been copied to such an extent, that their influence has become diluted now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Union 5-3992 Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 I thought I said this earlier. Led Zeppelin is awesome. No further discussion other than how awesome they are.
