The Official Led Zeppelin Thread (house, albums, fan, quote)

So yeah, Led Zep. I think it's much easier to appreciate how good/important of a band they were when you become more familiar with the other blues bands of the time.

Am I the only one who thinks that they were at their best when they just plain rocked out? I don't really like their slower and weirder tracks (including Stairway To Heaven) much, and think their absolute best material is when they're actually being a hard rock band. Take the harder stuff from Led Zep 3 and 4 and you've got some truly great material there.

I really do think though that the mystical stuf is absolute rubbish, even if the songs are pretty enough.
