Goddamn...Led Zeppelin sucks, but carry on if you must.

Oh let the sun beat down upon my face, stars to fill my dream
I am a traveler of both time and space, to be where I have been
To sit with elders of the gentle race, this world has seldom seen
They talk of days for which they sit and wait and all will be revealed

Talk and song from tongues of lilting grace, whose sounds caress my ear
But not a word I heard could I relate, the story was quite clear
Oh, oh.

Oh, I been flying... mama, there ain't no denyin'
I've been flying, ain't no denyin', no denyin'

All I see turns to brown, as the sun burns the ground
And my eyes fill with sand, as I scan this wasted land
Trying to find, trying to find where I've been.

Oh, pilot of the storm who leaves no trace, like thoughts inside a dream
Heed the path that led me to that place, yellow desert stream
My Shangri-La beneath the summer moon, I will return again
Sure as the dust that floats high in June, when movin' through Kashmir.

Oh, father of the four winds, fill my sails, across the sea of years
With no provision but an open face, along the straits of fear
Ohh.

When I'm on, when I'm on my way, yeah
When I see, when I see the way, you stay-yeah

Ooh, yeah-yeah, ooh, yeah-yeah, when I'm down...
Ooh, yeah-yeah, ooh, yeah-yeah, well I'm down, so down
Ooh, my baby, oooh, my baby, let me take you there

Let me take you there. Let me take you there

dun dun dun DUN

yeah......sucky.

or not

Do you think I listen to this typical "new rock"? Hell no, it sucks worse than Zeppelin. Most of the bands I listen to are on indie labels, 90% of which you've probably never heard of. I'm not trying to be a jerk, but just because I don't like classic rock and all that jazz, doesn't mean I have bad taste whatsoever. In my opinion, I listen to some of the best music that is being made today. If YOU can't take enough time to find some great indie bands, than I fault you for not liking some new music. Just because you don't see it in Rolling Stone or the Billboard charts doesn't mean that it doesn't exist. That goes a long with rap too. The amount of fantastic indie hip-hop out there is astounding. Look up some indie music before you make such a statement that most of this "new" stuff sucks.

lol... Indie rock...

[DeathsHand]

I say who the hell cares when the music was made or if it's popular... If you like it you like it... So SHAAAADDAAAAAP!

[The Germanator]

I agree DeathsHand, I dunno why I should have to defend the fact that I think that Led Zeppelin sucks, I think they do, so deal with it.

[One Winged Angel]

I'm not arguing with you, I'm just giving my opinion that it's better than the stuff now

[Joeiss]

Can you please explain to us why you think Led Zeppelin sucks?

I mean, the songs have every ingredient to make an amazing tune. A singer with a cool voice. AMAZING guitar. AMAZING drums. And AMAZING lyrics. What more could you ask for?

"There's a lady who's sure all that glitters is gold
And she's buying a stairway to heaven
And when she gets there she knows if the stores are closed
With a word she can get what she came for


Woe oh oh oh oh oh
And she's buying a stairway to heaven

There's a sign on the wall but she wants to be sure
And you know sometimes words have two meanings
In the tree by the brook there's a songbird who sings
Sometimes all of our thoughts are misgiven

Woe oh oh oh oh oh
And she's buying a stairway to heaven

There's a feeling I get when I look to the west
And my spirit is crying for leaving
In my thoughts I have seen rings of smoke through the trees
And the voices of those who stand looking

Woe oh oh oh oh oh
And she's buying a stairway to heaven

And it's whispered that soon, if we all call the tune
Then the piper will lead us to reason
And a new day will dawn for those who stand long
And the forest will echo with laughter

And it makes me wonder

If there's a bustle in your hedgerow
Don't be alarmed now
It's just a spring clean for the May Queen

Yes there are two paths you can go by
but in the long run
There's still time to change the road you're on

Your head is humming and it won't go because you don't know
The piper's calling you to join him
Dear lady can't you hear the wind blow and did you know
Your stairway lies on the whispering wind

And as we wind on down the road
Our shadows taller than our souls
There walks a lady we all know
Who shines white light and wants to show
How everything still turns to gold
And if you listen very hard
The tune will come to you at last
When all are one and one is all
To be a rock and not to roll
Woe oh oh oh oh oh
And she's buying a stairway to heaven

There's a lady who's sure all that glitters is gold
And she's buying a stairway to heaven
And when she gets there she knows if the stores are closed
With a word she can get what she came for


And she's buying a stairway to heaven, uh uh uh."

I don't think Led Zeppelin is the best band ever, but they sure don't suck.

Once again, you can't just label music like that. Music is art. YOU can say something is amazing, but if it isn't amazing to me, what good is it? I can tell you to listen to Olivia Tremor Control's Black Foliage, and you can tell me it sucks. I think it is a goddamn masterpiece, great lyrics, great instrumentation, etc. But if you don't like it, what is there to say? Led Zeppelin does nothing for me, sure it may for LOTS of people, but think of how many people like today's music. It still sells money doesn't it? Mostly everybody here says they hate it popular music, but millions love it. Mostly everybody here loves Led Zeppelin, but me (somebody) hates it. That's the only way I can defend myself...

[Joeiss]

Just out of curiosity, how many songs have you heard by Led Zeppelin? It seems that you have given them a try, so that is good. I cannot say the same for a lot of new music. I just hear the crap that gets played on the radio, which leads me to believe new rock sucks.

[The Germanator]

I've heard a couple of their CD's all the way through (don't really know which ones)...And I now formally take back that they "suck", I now must say that I respectfully dislike them. Everyone pleased?

Well, if you listened to zeppelin 3 and coda, then you should go and listen to Zoso (zep 4) and Houses of the Holy and then give your opinion because based on zep 3, coda, in through the out door, or presence (their 4 weakest albums IMO) you could have a very jaded view of the band.

How fastidious you are. I'm sure your music is much more mature than ours. So what do you like then? Neutral Milk Hotel? Elf Power? Apples in Stereo? Olivia Tremor Control? People who like Indie Rock are so damn annoying. I don't think they actually listen to that crap, they just want people to think they're smart for liking bands that no one else has even heard of.

Wow. Led Zeppelin truly rocks. I just picked up their two new releses, and they are phenominal. The 3 CD collection features live songs from 1972, including a 25 minute version of their best song, Dazed and Confused!!!

Yes. Yes they do. I didn't know they did Dazed and Confused. I always thought that was a Yardbirds' song.
