The stars aligned when the four of them joined together to form Zeppelin. It is a band that could have never been without any one of them. Few bands, if any have ever matched them, again... IMO.

I understand those of you that don't like the high voice registers of Plant and the like.
I saw Led Zeppelin perform at the Fabulous Forum in Inglewood CA, August 1971. This was before the release of Led Zeppelin IV so no Stairway to Heaven. They did perform an acoustical version of Stairway . . . the crowd boo'd.

In 1974 I saw Black Sabbath and Deep Purple completing the Unholy Trinity of heavy metal.

If we win these last two games everybody's music will suck.
But being 100% objective for the moment, you would agree that Taylor Swift is the best.

I always felt that they should have added Judas Priest to make it a foursome.

Wasn't Judas Priest like 10 years later with their sound being shaped by those bands?

John Paul Jones was also very talented, the only one of the guys who was considered a "session musician." Although Page also did session work he was far more suited to working as a traveling musician. I view Plant's voice like I view Geddy's. It is an acquired taste and I never acquired it. I get that they were a new sound and I also enjoy the instrumental aspect of Zeppelin, but Plant was my weak link for them. Funny thing is, I liked his voice far better as a Honeydripper but found their sound to be boring.

Go figure
I can & do respect them as musicians just not Plant

I guess when the team's best years were in the 70s and 80s it makes sense that everyone on here is most likely older then 60

I started to reply in kind but decided to let it go...mainly because music is so subjective depending on each individual's taste/preference. I somehow survived disco and I'm not crazy about rap or hip hop either. But I would never be so myopic as to tell someone that their taste/preference/artist sucks.

Well, if your favorite bands are Creed and Nickelback, I would tell you your musical tastes suck

Nope, I'm from the Woodstock generation. Beatles, Hendrix, Cream, Zeppelin, Heart, Eagles, Doobies, Zappa, et al...most of the modern stuff just doesn't do it for me personally.

My mom really tried to get me into Zeppelin and Floyd, but once I started listening to Tool and AIC I traded in most of those CDs. I can appreciate that era of music though.
