The Official Led Zeppelin Thread

Not really. I think the best thing about the band would the other three members. But they wouldn't be zeppelin without so I guess that makes him great by association.

Don't you think he is a very unique singer?

His voice was distinctive with that bluesy wail and he was everything a frontman should be. But I'd say there were quite a few singers of his generation better voice wise. But he was in Led Zeppelin and had the best material to work with song for song compared to his rivals.

I can agree with that. Whether or not I like his voice, it was distinctive. And he had the sex appeal and strutted his stuff like he was mick jagger, which made him a good front man.

I'm curious to know who you think was a better singer.

From his generation and of a similiar kind of music I'd say the following in no set order and I'm talking just voice here and nothing else- Ian Gillan, Steven Tyler, Phil Mogg, Dio, Paul Rodgers, Klaus Meine, Rob Halford and Dave Byron.

I think that bluesy wail is another thing that makes him an extraordinary singer,
I can't imagine somebody who can sing led Zeppelin stuff better than him
But you know that's what so beautiful about music, there's no such thing as better music, or a better singer... If you love something its enough,

Looks like the estate of Randy California will finally be joining the list of songwriters who've sued Led Zeppelin for copyright infringement...

I love led too. I am pretty excited because I even started a collection with their memorabilia.
Do you have something from led?

Since every band here is suppose to have only one thread I would like some opinions on these " Remastered " albums..... I was listening to their second album and it has some interesting parts that I had not heard before.

Oh I'll jump in here. As a fan right from the inception of Zep I'd say it's not really not liking them it was a intense disappointment in the albums that came after they had released their first few albums. 1,2,3,4,5, were stunning examples of pop rock music then the bottom fell out in my opinion.
They managed to right the ship after Presence with Physical Graffiti, but then feel short once again with In Through The Out Door and Coda.......
Even the most ardent fan must agree these albums represent just a shadow of what the band was accomplishing on the first 5 albums.
