What Sucks About This Artist?: Led Zeppelin

~~MicShazam~~ · 04-27-2018, 03:43 PM

I'm not even that familiar with them tbh

I know the intro to Stairway, but can't recall anything else right now.

Not really my kind of thing and while I've check out Zep here and there over the years, I've never devoted time to really give them a chance.

While it's an amazing problem to have, I really feel overwhelmed by all this music I don't know properly. When listening to an album from an artist I don't know well, it feels like I'm only stopping to study a single grain of sand in detail, while standing in the middle of a desert.

Jimmy Plant is a subpar melodica player.

And how about those grainy VHS videos, huh? Really the ****, yeah?

When are you going back to your own time, anyway?

For some of the songs.

Some of their attempts were bland, but their derivations were good.

Not as good as (IMO) ...,

Yep—I often get that feeling here.

Plant early-mid-80s was the latter, and Lez Zeppelin et al in my pronoun thread is an answer for the former.

They probably weren't as grainy back then.

I wonder how well today's tech will keep: CD rot, semi-disposable cell phones, 20-somethings buying +100-year-old wax.

Two guys apparently enjoying the blues:

There's something racist about them attempting to play the blues.
