I've heard "Good Times, Bad Times" off their first album, of course, but I listened through the rest of "Led Zeppelin" to make sure I'd heard all the songs off the album ...
... and honestly, Unknown Soldier, there are just quite a few qualities of their music that I don't like.
I don't like long guitar solos in any song (example: Buckethead is torture to me), and their songs often have them. I don't like the vocals that frequently rise up to a shrieking - they often sound the same from one song to the next. Finally, I don't like the Blues very much, which I think gives the slow, lumphing-along mournful feeling to some of their songs. I get bored listening to the music.
I don't think I dislike much of Led Zeppelin's music because they are famous. I think I dislike the music because I dislike the music!  |
You don`t like blues based hard rock, you don`t like guitar solos or shrieking style vocals................mmm I`m guessing 75% of 1970s hard rock is not going to be your cuppa
I`d actually recommend a hard rock act like Free, far more melodic with less noticeable blues influences and clean sounding smooth vocals, give them a try, if you don`t already know them.
I`ve just seen that you don`t like organ music, well stay clear of Deep Purple, they have shrieking vocals, guitar solos and organ grinding!!!
