You can’t convince a rock that just sits there with no mind to convince.
Led Zeppelin greatest rock and roll band ever!
This the band split up in it's prime because of their alcoholic drummer choked to death on his own vomit.
Their music is immaterial to me. I don't listen to them because they are child molesters. They had that one 13 year old girl locked up in a hotel for a year and a half.

What do u know…let me guess you are a millennial
Nope, born in 1952. I just don’t like Renaissance Festival music.

Kudos to you for taking a 2nd listen, but sounds like you need a 3rd and maybe a 4th.
They are so versatile and have such a wide variety of songs, your critique falls very flat. Going to California relies on "one heavy riff" and goes nowhere? Rain Song? Since I've been Loving you? No Quarter? Over the Hills and Far Away? Dancing Days? What is and What should never be? Achilles Last Stand?
Led Zep live is where it's at anyway, because they were such an amazing BAND, who let each member explore and take leads where they wanted to go, and always experimented with their songs (but in a way true to the original ideas).
Right now listen to some of their "complete BBC recordings". Amazing versions of Communication Breakdown (several), Since I've been Loving You, Going to California (perfection), etc. Some really good stuff. Then listen to the Song Remains the Same live album, specifically: Rain Song (brilliantly beautiful. Page is a genius, and Plant's voice a wonder), Dazed and Confused (27 minutes, including snippet of hippie song "If you're Going to San Francisco", which they turn into mind blowing metal-psychedelic beauty), Since I've been Loving you.
No one will ever beat Led Zep. Ever.
Thanks for posting this.
I saw Plant and Page in Atlanta back in the 90's but the full band way back in '69. Either you are into this heavy stuff or not. It's as good as it gets.
When the Levee Breaks. When the f*ing Levee Breaks.
https://youtu.be/zl-CriM6vx0Did we mention Kashmir? (as in the movie clip). Plant and page were playing that with their Egyptian ensemble. These guys transcend rock.
Good lord gonna have to start ranking the dumbest posts on here. This one definitely belongs in the top ten. Just because you “don’t get it” doesn’t mean they’re overrated and suck. Horrible take right here.
Say, "70's Music" to the average person, and they will think of Disco, The Bee Gees, maybe John Denver.
However, when I think of "70's Music", this is what I think of...

Damn!
Was not much of a fan in the 70s. Got burnt out by some fm stations playing stairway to heaven every night at midnight. Got hooked on going to California and listened to them again and really appreciate them more now. Putting queen, Aerosmith and Boston ahead of The Rolling Stones means you need to listen to exile on Main Street at least once.
Led Zep is not for everyone. Robert Plant was named by one wag posing as a rock critic "the most embarrassing man alive" back in the 80s.
But - Jimmy Paige has the chops. He came up with some amazing hard rock guitar licks, yes he lifted from many early rock and blues greats but that is how you develop your own voice.
Before Zep he was a top session guitarist in London. He played on tons of records, including early Kinks and Who tunes.
I'm not the biggest Zep fan, but I genuinely appreciate their mastery of their niche and creativity -- and they attitude!

+1
Putting Aerosmith and Boston ahead of Zeppelin is a joke.
1. The Beatles
2. The Rolling Stones
3. Led Zeppelin
Granted, I like Talking Heads and Steely Dan as much as #2/3, but they’re not quite the same type of rock and roll bands, and not really in the same weight class.
Àchillies Last Stand is a masterpiece
The only use for Led Zeppelin is to draw out the most-hated subclass of entitled late boomers to be bombarded with even more well-deserved hate. These delusional party animals would think a pack of rabid pigs were great musicians if they somehow sold lots of records and built a scene around themselves.
That's the secret to any kind of band worship. You might as well say the Grateful Dead were great because you wasted 10 years of your life roaming around in a VW bus high as a kite listening to them, talking about them, living in their world. If your band is what's on at the party, the drunken revelers will worship you. That's all Led Zeppelin ever was. Nothing great about them. Their guitar player was nothing special. Their vocalist (he's no singer) was average.
The best indictment of the Zeppelin was the 80's band that named itself after them, Deaf Leopard (to insult them I refuse to spell it their way) is the most forgotten band of its era, despite its amazing run of multi-platinum singles of different versions of basically the same song from their album Hysteria. As the 1980's ended, MTV made it official: Hysteria, with its familiar airplane opening scene, was the #1 video of the decade, beating out other worty contenders like Dire Straits Money for Nothing and Michael Jackson Thriller. Now that song is nothing. It's garbage, just like their own idols Led Zeppelin. Everyone who likes them or Zeppelin is garbage too.
You'll run into them at any parties with boomers of course, usually friends with the morans who say they only like the Bon Scott AC/DC. These people have no lives! They'll hate on me but that only proves it.

Wow. I have NEVER heard anyone say that about Led Zeppelin ever. EXECELLENT musicians to start. AMAZING lead vocals. Great song writing.
Black Dog and Kashmir are two of the best rock songs ever. All My Love shows their versatility, and then Lazy shows how awesome they can be on a straight blues song.
Overrated? UNDERRATED!
Lazy a LZ song ? Seriously ?! How is it even possible to make that kind of confusion...but then calling Lazy a "straight blues song" is just as bad, stick to running !

He drank too much because he was homesick. Ask anyone who knew him.
The band split after his death as a mark of respect for the friend they loved.

Not that you're bitter or anything.
Not at all, but thanks for trying!
This is the Led Zeppelin sucks thread, if you don't like saying/hearing they suck, try somewhere else.
Never really got into Led Zepellin, but they have a handful of great songs. I plan to go through their catalog to see what the hype is all about. No doubt they had immense musical talent all around.
I prefer 90s grunge rock, but can appreciate some of the 70s and 80s rock/metal.
