Actually one of the things I like about Led Zep is that they never went political. There's this great confusing that music have to be political to be meaningful. It's true, their lyrics weren't always very strong, but Plant developed to quite a nice songwriter from III onwards, which the Celtic influenced being quite evident. I think the lyrics on The Battle of Evermore and Going to California, for example, is on the same level or higher than anything The Beatles put out.
