Plant can be annoying. If they got a Howlin' Wolf type singer fronting the band they'd be perfect.
For some of the songs.

Some of their attempts were bland, but their derivations were good.

Yep—I often get that feeling here.

Plant early-mid-80s was the latter, and Lez Zeppelin et al in my pronoun thread is an answer for the former. :D

They probably weren't as grainy back then.
I wonder how well today's tech will keep: CD rot, semi-disposable cell phones, 20-somethings buying +100-year-old wax.

Surprised to see the comments about Plant.
Personally I like Plant. Zep aren't really that bad they are just a bit boring.

It's been decades since the internet offered an(other) alternative to rock radio. We've had our respite from the latter, and now might enjoy Zeppelin from time to time.

Depressing music and the singer's voice screeches: overall crap

You are (⅓ x ½) + (⅓ x ½) + (⅓ x <¾) correct. :D
Again: covers.

(3 guys, female vocalist. Lead guitarist looks like Willie Nelson's younger Russian cousin, but plays with energy and exuberance. I was thinking of not including it due to sound quality, but decided to as it's well performed.)

Often refered to as the greatest rock n roll band of all time....not even contenders imo.
started watching the song remains the same last week and fell asleep about 10 mins in, so much posturing by plant and page made me feel queasy and the 20 minute solos were a drag even back then. Best thing bout Zep was Bonham. :drummer:

Many of their songs are not really theirs
they "borrowed" to the extent of what we call today plagiarism. other than that- they are really good :-)

In a perfect world, Led Zeppelin would be fronted by GG Allin.
