Like the idea of a band doing mandolin songs about LOTR and stuff but not keen on them.

#164

I think there’s quite a few people on the list who aren’t nearly as problematic, disservice to the good people on the list to lump them all in with the likes of Led Zeppelin.

#168

Yeah tbf looking back at the list some of them are fine

#169

for me it’s probably a 50/50 split looking at it now

#170

straight in at number 7 in your top 20 hot takes Bam.

I mean, we’ll never really know in regards to some of them anyway, I think Zeppelin’s are made worse by being so old fashioned in their lyrics to boot, which was just carrying on from the blues tradition anyway and of course carries on into modern music but is just old enough to sound properly naff

I count 8 on a list of 41.

#173

question of degrees of course, I meant there’s probably only 50% of the people on there that I don’t know something bad about

#174

true but some old blues lyrics can be very moving in the context of the songs and the way they are sung, can’t imagine Led Zeppelin ever singing anything moving. I’ve definitely heard IV all the way through and bits of other stuff so feel I have a decent cross section of their music to critique on

#175

funny thing about some hot takes is that they don’t feel that hot at all, seems a fairly sensible statement to me

#176

Yeah, I’d much rather listen to Queen than Led Zeppelin most of the time - plus the whole not kidnapping children for sex thing.

3, 4 and Physical Graffiti all have well written, influential songs on that aren’t maybe moving in a heart wrenching way but definitely have a depth and darkness to them that can resonate even if they’re singing about a high elf losing his enchanted mace

#178

Never understood the Beastie Boys Led Zeppelin dig…

If I played guitar I’d be Jimmy Page
The girlie’s I like are underage

…until recently. Guess it was a well known thing.

There’s a story in the Super Furry Animals biography about Robert Plant bumping into the SFA outside the Creation records HQ and having a really long chat with Gruff Rhys in fluent Welsh

Some undeniably thrilling riffs, but also mile upon desolate mile of lumpen plodding blues tedium and guff about fairies. 2/5, and that’s before I get into the kind of Campaign For Real Rock twats who still go on about them in 2019.
