Wrong. He's no Wakeman or Manzerek but he is a pretty damn good keyboardist, he showed himself to be a very capable pianist during live performances of No Quarter. He also knew his way around a Mellotron, as demonstrated in Kashmir and The Rain Song.

Granted he's a bass player first, but his keyboard playing, string arangements and his overall talents as a multi-instrumentalist were an important part of Zeppelins sound in the latter years. JPJ was by no means lacking behind the rest of the band. Thats a common misconception.

I only listen to you talk when I want to hear Emo performed acapella.
