Yes, he's a bit sloppy, but I like the mistakes in his playing -- it lends character and excitement. I don't like perfect, journeymanlike guitar playing as a rule. And his sonic palette for guitar production is unmatched.

What makes Led Zeppelin one of the greatest bands of all time is their drummer, big daddy groove master John Bonham.

You won't be hearing otherwise from me. Bonzo is the greatest rock drummer ever, imo. He was so heavy-handed, his intelligence as a drummer was often overlooked. But he was a very intelligent drummer.

Which needed an entire floor chopped out for the album cover.

Bonham's definitely my favourite part of Zeppelin. Without him their music would be way too standard.

I think Plant's vocals are pretty essential.

^Yes, indeed. Actually, they were all essential, which is why

Spoiler for x:

they broke up. Because it wasn't Zep without him.
