Just like this forum, they had a whole lotta love.

True, true.

Still some fun music, though.

Get off my lawn, dirty hippies.

This is funny

Posted by Jonsered Hugely overrated. Not even the best band of their time, much less of all time.

This is incorrect.

i don't know... there is nothing like "Immigrant Song" to get the blood pumping.

Perhaps Jonsered is dazed and confused?

Or just plain wrong.

Didn't say I hated them, just that they were overrated. Can't stand the soft folksy side of Zep, but as a hard rock band, meh, whatever. All the mythical crap in the lyrics, the whole stinking hippie thing. Bah.

Cinnamon toast > Led Zepplin because.....

.....because I can have cinnamon toast every day and still enjoy it.

.....because cinnamon toast never bores me.

.....because cinnamon toast isn't pretentious.


and you?

Robert Plant a.k.a Rubber Plant was discovered as a frontman in his own apartment, when he accidentally bit his tongue. As a result of this minor injury, Plant's distinct moans and groans (as heard in Babe I'm Gonna Leave You and Whole Lotta Love) came forth and attracted the neighbours. The neighbours eventually let the word out of Plant's so-called "sensual" voice and was finally introduced to guitar prodigy, Jimmy Page, as people noted that his voice and Page's guitar sounded pretty much the same. Robert Plant is actually a plant, as confirmed by the existing members of the band today. The National Enquirer's shocking rumours of Plant getting body reconstruction surgery are unfortunately true.

Jimmy Page, made famous for his love of playing guitars with violins, paired with Plant in 1968 after they met in a magical garden and decided to form a band. When asked if they paired up because That Guy's guitar complimented Plant's voice, they responded: "Oh no, musically, we didn't mix together well at all. But our hairstyles went together fantastically!"

John Paul Jones was in a much less successful band (the alphabeta's) for a few years, then joined The Lawn Chickens when he was discovered by Plant and Page who knew he had what it would take, especially because he asked to join and they needed a bass player quite a lot. He also played the mandolin (also known as the midgets guitar) infrequently, but only when he whined about it for a ver long time.

"So here we were, me and Jimmy, on a nature walk, with me pointing out things like trees and shit, when all of a sudden we heard these amazing bass lines...Like poing poing, boing, diiiing, do-dooooing. We found Jones sitting on a tree stump and watched him cheerfully slap those strings into shape. Those lines were impossible. We let him in right there and then we did *a lot* of drugs" -Robert Plant

"Yeah they did have quite a few drugs" -Jimmy Page

John "Bonzo" Bonham was fuelled only by alcohol, nothing else.

EDIT: Now you know...Led Zeppelin goes to ELEVEN.

FUCK YES.

I'm sorry. I'm not sure I really understand the question.

I mean, first there was music... and then there were lots of bands... and then there was Led Zeppelin... and there hasn't been another band since then. Right?

You're thinking of Wang Chung.

WTF is with peoples slavish devotion to 70's bands? Kiss was musically weak, but they have loads of fans. Zep? Well I've made my feelings clear. Pink Floyd makes my ass bleed. Sounds to me like some people had to much of the hard dope. Damn man, I'll take Foghat over any of the bands above, and they were nothing more than a glorified bar band.

The majority of 70's rock is just plain ol' good rock n' roll. I think a lot of people miss that. Far more substance than anything coming out of the current music industry. I would find you hard pressed to find a city in the U.S. that doesn't have a classic rock station.

Figures.

Over the years, I have repeatedly tried to find out what music Foghat and Molly Hatchet made, and whenever I try, I can't stop laughing from all of the pictures and artwork long enough to hear the music.

Thanks for the most excellent addition to my post KK!!
