i like the wire's coverage and extention, but yes, the writing is very pretentious and pseudo academic.

And it shows how much Robert ripped of (the Real shit) old blues men.

For me, true good music finds a moderation between experimentalization and structure. Sonic Youth, for example, do this beautifully.

An unpopular opinion, I know.

i think they way they interpreted as well as performed the blues was something amazing, and i dont think anyone else has done anything remotley comparable to date

i dont care if someone can cover a zep song...that means nothing...try and write something comparable, whilst actually being able to "feel" it. thats where the real talent lies.

I agree, in no way is Whole lotta love crap.

But compared to other Zeppelin greats?

For better or for worse, Led Zeppelin was the first band I got into (thank you suburbanite classic rock radio). And as a six year old just getting into music for the first time, I didn't give half of a fuck who wrote what.

I've owned Brothers in Arms three times. So I can't even blame it on a mistaken purchase.

the music to "whole lotta love" is fine. it's the vocals that almost make it
unlistenable to me. led zeppelin have much better songs in their catalog.

It's the "Walk Of Life" that gets you every time, eh? Xmas time may be 7 months away, but I know what I'm getting you already. :cool:

So true. I would add that any Yoko Ono album is better than any John Lennon album.

I don't think that's really such an unpopular opinion except amongst a rather small group of 5-10ish fans who post about them regularly. Seems to me just as many or more people around these parts hate them.

i urge you to see them live before you decide if you hate them or not

...

i agree.

although one could make probably make the best double album if both plastic ono band albums are combined into a single package.

Led Zep would have definitely been better if they were an instrumental band or got a vocalist who wasn't really, really annoying.

i know this is a sexist comment, but really zep created music for males. maybe not deliberately....ive just noticed that alot of girls tend not to like them, and its always because of some lyric.

haha...zep have to be one of the quintessential "don't judge by lyrics" bands. "the
lemon song" is but the tip of the iceberg.

You don't have to.
You can just go ahead and judge Plant for making screechy bird noises in an attempt to do some "call and response" mimicry to Page's guitar solos...
