For some of the songs.

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

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.

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

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:

Surprised to see the comments about Plant.

Personally I like Plant. Zep aren't really that bad they are just a bit boring.

It's been decades since the internet offered an(other) alternative to rock radio. We've had our respite from the latter, and now might enjoy Zeppelin from time to time.

Depressing music and the singer's voice screeches: overall crap

You are (⅓ x ½) + (⅓ x ½) + (⅓ x <¾) correct.

Again: covers.

Often refered to as the greatest rock n roll band of all time....not even contenders imo.
started watching the song remains the same last week and fell asleep about 10 mins in, so much posturing by plant and page made me feel queasy and the 20 minute solos were a drag even back then. Best thing bout Zep was Bonham.

I can't understand the hate for Plant.

they "borrowed" to the extent of what we call today plagiarism. other than that- they are really good :-)

In a perfect world, Led Zeppelin would be fronted by GG Allin.
