Many bands come and go. They have their moment in the sun and their music dies with the sun's light. Zep's music has held up now for over 30 years. It has crossed over into rap and hip hop. Great songs, great albums, talented musicians. All of you guys have failed to mention John Paul Jones. What a pitty. I play bass, mando, guitar, violin.. pretty much anything with a string on it. JPJ was and still is one of my main influences. I have been hooked on them since I saw them in '74 at the ripe age of 10. I still hear different things that I love and that I am in awe of. This band is complex and yet simple at the same time. Blues roots and complex rythms are keys to good rock. Most people that say they suck has either never played an instrument in a rock and roll band or has and can't pull it off. Their stuff is hard enough to play just picking with a tab. The real test is if you can do it with a complete band. There are not many people who can cover Zep note for note and to speedThere is one last thing that proves they were great. When you hear one of their songs come on , you know who it is. Maybe we need to listen to the music more rather than just hear it. Thanks for the rant
