Does anyone else think Led Zeppelin is overrated?

IMO, I think they were a good studio band and had a good blues feel to their style of rock, but when it came to playing live, I think Bonham was the only talent. Thats why there are so few live Led Zepp records. I like a few songs but nothing really draws my attention.

I think it's too soon to tell. I personally don't believe they will become "legends" like say the Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, The Who, etc. But they will of course be considered one of the greatest bands of the 90's/00's (and beyond if they continue).

I like Zeppelin and Black Sabbath... Hubby's more of a country guy tho so we compromise with Clapton

Actually, Coldplay takes the boring award.  U2 may be boring, but at least they were original in their boring-ness.  Coldplay stole their boring vibe.

The bestinterpretation of stairway to heaven by Zeppelin is that Plant was taking too many drugs while writing this song. It is a good song though. It makes your head hurt if you think about it too long.

YES I DO\nBut, i am not talking for Pink Floyd without Syd Barrett.....even tough i must admit that 90% of Pink Floyd fans are fascinated from Dark Side Of The Moon or The Wall\nWell me not \nI think that the band without Barrett is like a fish in a fresh air., they can't breathe without him.He has the power and secret special magic who was moving them up and up and sudenly when he was gone they started to fall down...\nEvidence for that is their tribute "Wish You Were Here" dedicated for Syd....\nEven today (last summer) at live 8 Gilmour sad "This song is for everyone who are not here specialy for you SYD...."\nWhen we talk about The Wall i may right say that the album for me is one thing that shoes Gilmours BAD and Suffering childhood and his complexes of it.... ---not even close to good.\nDark side of the moon, well i think is very psychadelic like the meddle or atom heart mother \nBut not qute (not close at all ) close to the PIPER AT THE GATES OF DAWN and SAUCERFUL OF SECRETS Who are unique and a piece of music who will never ever die and will always remain ......\nSYD BARRETT IS THE SOUL OF THE WHOLE BAND \nNO ONE WILL EVER REPLACE HIM.....

I absolutely adore Queens of the Stone Age. I have all of their CDs. As far as Led Zeppelin goes, thats good too.

To those who do think it exists, it's short for emotional, and it's brought out a whole mess of bands who say everything sucks. It's clear to fans that the style exists, but who exactly fits in the categories is somewhat hazy.

Led Zeppelin is essentially the greatest rock band ever. What do you get when you put the first or second greatest guitarist in history with the first or second greatest vocalist with one of the greatest bass players ever with the greatest drummer in the history of rock? You get Led Zep. And on top of that make them all have at least 135 IQ and you have musical genius that cannot be equalled. Green Day, The Stones, even Def Leppard cannot contend with Led Zeppelin's genius chord progression and lyric, whether you wish to admit or not. They performed like no other band ever did putting on som of the longest concerts with out intermission. There is no substitution for Led Zeppelin.

No matter how much of a LP fan(atic) I am, I can't say that they are the best. Wonderfully creative music videos and cool lyrics. But, Chesters vocals can be a little over-the-top (by over-the-top, I mean he screaches, but that's my favorite part), and Mike's rap parts aren't for everybody. Drums could use a little work, but great musicians otherwise. On a scale of 1-20 I give them an overall...ugh...13. You have no idea how much that killed my to type.

Sorry, they were never the greatest for me.  You are comparing too many different styles or genre's of rock.  Go listen to some Mountain, look for some of Jeff Becks work.  And for me, the best is CSN&Y though I do not put them in the same genre as the Stones.  One thing I will give the Stones though is longivity.

I gotta say, I agree with you. With the exception of the occasional song here and there, I really don't like much of anything that came out after 1990 except for new albums that were put out by my favorite bands. All the rock music that is coming out these days is either trying way to hard to make it in mainstream or it's just way to heavy with absurd lyrics that you can't even understand.

I think their music style is unquie, compared to the thrend they are following. (emo?) But I personally don't like them.

Led Zeppelin is an acquired taste and they won't be on walkers.  One would have to   really know music to appreciated talent like Zeppelin, I don't think they will tour, maybe do a concert here and there and Jason Bonham does take the place of his father in the band.  Zeppelin does not suck most definitely, they will always be good because unlike the bands today they have something that is rare-TALENT!!!!

Isn't great how people who claim to love Jimi Hendrix cannot spell his name correctly.\n\nLed Zeppelin is the best Hard Rock band of all time and they run a close second to the Beatles as the best Rock band of all time.  Much as it pains me to say that.\n\nLed Zeppelin is the most important band of the late 60s and the entire decaded of the 70s.  Everyone can name two Zepp songs at least.  I could probably give you 70% of the catalog if I thought about it for half a minute.  I'm totally engrossed in them.\n\nIf you haven't read Hammer of the Gods yet do it.
