Never got the fuss about āthe Ledā. Immigrant song is good but thatās about it for me
Like Bowie, Jimmy Page slept with underage girls (or at least one?) to get that out there.
I will probably give Led Zep a 3 maybe even a 2. They have some great songs but so much other stuff that Iām really not bothered about.
Great musicians but generally leave me a bit cold. Some great stuff though and better than most of the other āclassicā bands of the era. 3.
God, dunno. One of my favourite rhythm sections of all time, one of my least favourite guitarists of all time. Like everything up to IV, donāt like the later wanky stuff.
Maybe a 3? I need to think about this.
A 2 from me. Just donāt really get it. I quite like Immigrant Song and Babe Iām Gonna Leave You but nearly all the rest bores me to tears.
III and Physical Graffiti are great. Not bothered about the rest.

Just remembered I saw the building off the Physical Grafitti cover when I went on a tour of New York. Most of the other people were going crazy about it and having their pictures taken. I just took one photo that I havenāt looked at since. Just a big house isnāt it?
3/5
Were hugely important to the formation of teenage rich-tās musical taste. Like everything up to Physical Graffiti. Houses of the Holy is very underrated
I mean I was tempted to give them a 5 just for rescuing Thor: Ragnarok from middling MCU land with the music on that one sequence

Obv great when theyāre great but their early stuff is a bit blues cover band and the later stuff is boring. All about the mid-era mellotron light prog stuff. Top three albums: IV, Houses of the Holy, Physical Graffiti. Best song is probably rain song.

I listened to them a lot as a teenager discovering music but then had a mate who was a drummer who just went on and on and on about Bonham being the best drummer ever and zeppelin the best band. Totally overplayed them until I couldnāt stand them any more.
And then I found out about all the underage predatory behaviour, stealing songs without credit etc.
So fuck 'em. 1/5.
3 for me. They are alright can never see why they are so highly thought of now, probably because the press were originally a bit sniffy about them and they have been trying to right that ever since.
It is obvious that as musicians they were massivley proficient
Feels like the biggest band that I really have virtually never come across (musically). I know a grand total of one of their songs - Stairway to Heaven, obvs - and wasnāt sure I would actually recognise it. Turns out I do, but I wouldnāt have been able to tell you how it goes from memory at all.
Quite obviously not voting here but I get the impression I would not like them at all. Prog is the worst. The 70s are just so uninteresting to me.
