What does /mu/ think of Led Zeppelin?

Liked them as a teenager, find them boring now.

Jimmy Page is the biggest fraud in the history of music

I like them because they trigger rockists and other morons.

Light exhale anon.

Queen is literally the most overrated band of all time with the most cancerous fan base around. They have zero (0) good albums and the only reason they're still popular is because their music was progressive (gay), and all written to appeal to big crowds, which it did. To think that such a feat would deserve any recognition besides the kind you would give a dancing monkey is downright rubbish.

>>74726534
whenever this is posted, it reminds me that there really is some sort of contrarian force at work on /mu/ and that it's not just a joke

>>74726553
You sound like you're in high school. Freddie Mercury is not the most impressive member of Queen, and I've never met a young Queen fan in my life. Queen through Jazz is a far more impressive album streak than your favorite band.

>>74726368
First five albums are great, everything else is shit except for Achilles' Last Stand. IV and Stairway are overrated but still great, their best album overall is Houses and III is the most underrated. On-and-off criticism that alternates with each generation just like everything else in music (the 90s latched onto the 70s just like this decade is infatuated with the 90s) won't take away from the fact that they were a bunch of very, very talented musicians that made music that continues to sound fresh (and is sickeningly often imitated) today.

Rockists, poptimists, jazzfags, overall revisionists and contrarian faggots can suck a dick.

Sounds like nobody talked to you in school because I was labeled a hipster just for calling Queen a singles band with mediocre albums.

Led Zep didn't age well from what I've listened to and 2 is outright terrible. I dislike Taylor but it makes sense she has more recognition since she is currently popular.

>>74727197

>everything else is shit

no way Physical Grafitti is "shit"- Bron-y-aur, Houses of the Holy, Ten Years Gone, Kashmir, Sick again, Wanton Song, In the Light are all fantastic.


Also- they were a killer live band- they were one of the first "jam bands"- They had killer, multi-tracked studio songs that they would then shred live as a simple 4-peice band.

This is one of their best live performances on a song(s) they never recorded.

>What does /mu/ think of Led Zeppelin?

I used to be obsessed in middleschool, but I've since stopped caring for them. To me they sound too iconic and overdone, like a weed whose leaves block out the sun. T2 is my preferred alternative for early-70s hard progressive rock.

>>74729847
Terminator 2?

>>74726901
Fool in the Rain has a great drum beat. Probably my favourite Zeppelin one desu.

Loved them in high school, and kind of grew up past them, but still great band. I get the feeling all the supposed contrarianism against them stems just from that one T Swift and Zep picture that circulates around everywhere, but /mu/ just doesn't worship the band and thinks all their albums are incredible. They have some real gems besides Stairway, like Rain Song, Since I've Been Loving You, When the Levee Breaks, and Ten Years Gone.

Black Sabbath are the one classic rock band that seems to have consistently remained cool and not the butt of dadrock jokes for decades.

I'm pretty sure in 2004-08 you would have heard more about Green Day and MCR than Queen.

I never met a young U2 fan either.

>>74732381
I knew some U2 fans, they were all aging hipsters. They were good for their time I suppose but their songs are very dated and there's no reason for a Millenial to listen to U2.

>>74732331
You didn't need to remind us that Green Day and MCR existed, you know.

Led Zeppelin IV [Atlantic, 1971]

Even more than "Stairway To Heaven", the platinum-plated album cut, the real triumph here is "When The Levee Breaks", which led me into the album months after I'd stupidly dismissed it. As always, the band's medievalisms have their limits, but this is nonetheless the definitive Led Zeppelin and hence heavy metal album. A-

Nobody could lay down a groove as good as these guys.

>>74732575
Ok but he wrote a column about how Zeppelin couldn't translate their studio sound into coherent live music while the Rolling Stones and the Who became more powerful live. So fuck him.

>not a drummer

Anything bonham does is perfect.

>>74735357

I've been discussing with Bonzo regarding "Toad" the Cream's single.

I think Ginger Baker has more control and flow over the drum patterns he interpret during his rehearsals or just during Toad. I think it's better than Moby Dick for the only reason he was not drunk hitting with the wooden sticks like thunders each beat, crazy on his own, knowing the world will flip upside down when I say this.

More structure, better drums, that's Ginger Baker people.

I still love Led Zeppelin and did the artwork as the physical graph I have for Crimson but my preference is over Black Sabbath and Cream when they influenced more the subsequent bands coming in the land of the honey and milk.

Now it's no lie Zeus listens to them in the Olympus but I think Plant talks more than about love and Wagner, the Ring of Nebulus, I use it to hide and now I feel like hiding from the eye that sees all, that takes all. :PPpPPpp

I'd rather listen to Cream concert albums, since that's what they basically ripped off from.

is when the levee breaks the greatest track ever recorded?

>>74735423

Props to that. I think Led Zeppelin is in disadvantage against other U.K breed bands for they were a "Super Band" it means they are formed by known musicians and they were not naturally created by saying they met each other in a very strange day of our times.

They just went and did what John Paul Jones proposed, which was holding up the structure and base while Plant and Page were jumping and screaming in stage like the children they are.

He was the Manzarek of the Zeppelin, keeping the bass alive.

This is a patrician album and no one can convince me otherwise.

>>74735615

I want to draw something in the white Zeppelin of the cover and gift the albums to my favorite disciples. Probably buy many copies for drawing them differently.

Patrician comes from Ireland "Patrick" and they were given the best guitar player of our times (Rory Gallagher) so I don't think the term patrician will evoke a single tear or rustle the jimmies of any mortal.

You're not in the triumvirate, move on.

>>74736816

Art is a game of plagiarism, they take a sad song and make it better so I don't judge their efforts at all.

You take and substract what you find useful from the things you read and the things you touch, for example, the greatest book of all time (The Bible) you extract what's important and useful for you (Jesus teachings) and understand the fill is written by many crazy non-writers under martyrdom.

You take from others and make your own style and that's what they did, we're all cover bands and we cover to endure and extend the legacy of those who die.

We invoke them just the same.

>>74735404
Whenever people discuss Bonham, Moby Dick is always mentioned. But, I think his work was crazy in Bonzo's Montreux and Four Sticks too.

>>74727423
>Better than bland dad rock like Aerosmith and AC/DC
They're both shit. AC/DC is the dullest fucking rock I've ever heard.

>>74736847
I agree.Taking influence from someone is a natural (to not say vital) part of any creative process, and there are very few things that are more beautiful than taking someone elses idea and making it your own when it's at the same time out of respect and admiration and also out of the conviction that one can do even better than their heroes. Covering someone else's song, be it directly or "indirectly" is an art in and of itself, which the Stones and Zeppelin both did masterfully.

I initially wasn't sure if in your earlier post you were making reference to the plagiarism trials around Led Zeppelin, which to a certain extent were bollocks.

Either way, just know that there was no animosity towards you in my previous post. It's all good, and thank you for exposing your view on the subject.

Here's the physical graffiti I did for Crimson, my son.

I had one for "High Hopes" by Pink Floyd but I lost it once the police took my computer, I also have another I made for Cream but that's classified. Probably release soon.

I want this graffiti in the wall of the football 5 sort of Nike cage (Remember the ad with Elvis Presley song?) I want to have a place to play football and probably will paint this graffiti in there.

AC/DC is bland only if you've listened to BIB, but the Bon Scott albums are more varied and not as commercial.

They were apparently pretty groundbreaking early in their career, but I think for a lot of us they were just some old soft rock band who sold out to apple and ran endless charities. War and Joshua tree seem pretty respectable in isolation though

Now by popular demand! A list of some of the songs Zep stole from other artists:

"Babe I'm Gonna Leave You" - A folk song by Anne Bredon, this was originally credited as "traditional, arranged by Jimmy Page," then "words and music by Jimmy Page," and then, following legal action, "Bredon/Page/Plant."
"Black Mountain Side" - uncredited version of a traditional folk tune previously recorded by Bert Jansch.
"Bring It On Home" - the first section is an uncredited cover of the Willie Dixon tune (as performed by the imposter Sonny Boy Williamson).
"Communication Breakdown" - apparently derived from Eddie Cochran's "Nervous Breakdown."
"Custard Pie" - uncredited cover of Bukka White's "Shake 'Em On Down," with lyrics from Sleepy John Estes's "Drop Down Daddy."
"Dazed And Confused" - uncredited cover of the Jake Holmes song (see The Above Ground Sound Of Jake Holmes).
"Hats Off To (Roy) Harper" - uncredited version of Bukka White's "Shake 'Em On Down."
"How Many More Times" - Part one is an uncredited cover of the Howlin' Wolf song (available on numerous compilations). Part two is an uncredited cover of Albert King's "The Hunter."
"In My Time Of Dying" - uncredited cover of the traditional song (as heard on Bob Dylan's debut).
"The Lemon Song" - uncredited cover of Howlin' Wolf's "Killing Floor" - Wolf's publisher sued Zeppelin in the early 70s and settled out of court.
"Moby Dick" - written and first recorded by Sleepy John Estes under the title "The Girl I Love," and later covered by Bobby Parker.
"Nobody's Fault But Mine" - uncredited cover of the Blind Willie Johnson blues.
"Since I've Been Lovin' You" - lyrics are the same as Moby Grape's "Never," though the music isn't similar.
"Stairway To Heaven" - the main guitar line is apparently from "Taurus" by Spirit.
"White Summer" - uncredited cover of Davey Graham's "She Moved Through The Fair."
"Whole Lotta Love" - lyrics are from the Willie Dixon blues "You Need Love."
