They are truly the greatest rock band of all time.

Wow. That great you had to make 3 threads for it, huh? That's pretty great indeed!

I think they are truly the most overrated rock band of all time.

Everest · « **Reply #3 on:** 08 Oct 2005, 13:54 »

I'll play for safe and say they are probably to be counted amongst the most influential bands in music history. That's pretty open to interpretation

I was trying to avoid the overrated thing, but I'm glad agree on them being influential "as fuck". If you're going to call them overrated, call them proportionately more overrated then modern day overrated bands.

Wow, that's one overrated sentence, right there.

I'm not sure I quite got that sentence. There are plenty of overrated bands around today, like The Killers, but I don't think they're as overrated as Led Zep. Led Zep's allegedly incediary live shows were mostly self-indulgent tripe, mindless guitar solos, boring drum solos and just plain crap.

Half of their albums sound like that to me as well.

This is obviously all IMO. And I accept that ol' Jimmy is a hell of a player.

AngelofShadows · « **Reply #8 on:** 09 Oct 2005, 09:44 »

I've been told I look like John Bonham....

Which creeps me the fuck out.

Zepplin is over rated....but so are most bands that have a dedicated following.

Everest · « **Reply #9 on:** 09 Oct 2005, 10:58 »

I meant that they are only more overrated because they've been around so much longer. Which sounds pretty retarded now that I think about it, lol. Nevermind.

But yeah, overrated. Some.

Damn straight. Hilarious song. One time I out it on a mix directly after Whole Lotta Love. That felt pretty great.

On the subject, yes, they are over-rated, but that doesn't mean they're not incredible. But seriously, they are not nearly as influential on modern rock as bands like the Rolling Stones, The Beatles, The Zombies, and the mother fuckin' Kinks.

Not as overrated as AC/DC.

And Led Zeppelin is WAY more influential than the Zombies. I would argue the Kinks too, but definitely the Zombies.

La Creme · « **Reply #14 on:** 09 Oct 2005, 20:55 »

No, the Kinks were a BIG influence on punk. And the Zombies on a lot of advanced-arrangement-driven rock, such as John Brion and Belle & Sebastian.

Any true Acca-Dacca fans accept that they've made the same album 15 times.

I hate Led Zeppelin. Especially since I was exposed to that godawful song "Kashmir" at least twenty-four thousand times this last summer vacation.

Mad Onion · « **Reply #17 on:** 10 Oct 2005, 13:42 »

Over rated? 300 million albums sold is pretty over rated you fucking morons. you guys are like DUR a band that is good and lots of people like DUR better say there over rated like a bunch of idoits or we won't be respected in the indie rock scene DUR. Next you guys will say the beatles are sell outs right, holy chirst. Thats a pretty stupid thing to say.

Everest · « **Reply #18 on:** 10 Oct 2005, 15:45 »

Well, not to cause a fuss, but I find that a stupid thing to say, Onion-dude. It's almost like you're disagreeing with what you think is the general sentiment here, just for the sake of it. No offense, but I doubt anyone else looked at this thing with as much vigor as you did.

(Whoops, too late, there I went and made fuss anyway...)

Se7en · « **Reply #19 on:** 10 Oct 2005, 15:49 »

Any band that encourages so many people to pick up a guitar for the first time deserves recognition, no matter what you think of the music.

Freezey · « **Reply #20 on:** 10 Oct 2005, 15:51 »

I just like hearing guitar newbies try to struggle through "stairway to heaven" at the guitar shops. Never been much of a fan of the band, though.

Gryff · « **Reply #21 on:** 10 Oct 2005, 16:41 »

I have albums 1 and 4 but I've never really been drawn to buy any others. I like Zep but I guess I'm just a little over them.

I would say Led Zep are overrated, definitely.

So we went into the living room.
Someone was blasting Zeppelin.
It sounded good.
I felt ashamed.
I knew every drum fill.

My views on Zep are summed up by this shirt I own:

Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Meatloaf and Bob Dylan were my off-kilter introduction to all the music I like today.

I like Mariah Carey, Ashlee Simpson, Kylie Minogue, George Michael and Coldplay.

FUCK your indie-cred theory.

I find Led Zeppelin overrated. So stop masturbating over the eight-minute travesty (that was a reference to Stairway To Heaven, not your last love encounter) and wake up to the facts - someone has an opinio that's different to yours. Deal with it.

sjbrot · « **Reply #28 on:** 11 Oct 2005, 10:04 »

I agree with on DynamiteKid, although I am a fan of Led Zeppelin. They are massively overrated, mostly because they have become a part of an ideology with a massive number of teenage boys who use Led Zeppelin to identify themselves. In some high schools, these people are worshipped as minor deities, which shouldn't work.

Okay, you just lost rights to criticize music.

Led Zeppelin is overrated, but they're still both a quality introduction to music, and decent to listen to so long as you strip away all the pretention surrounding them. Saying "Led Zeppelin sucks" and "I like Coldplay" in the same post is simply reprehensible. You've lost talking rights.

I said Zeppelin are overrated. I didn't say they sucked.
I love the fact that out of a list including Mariah Carey and Ashlee Simpson, it's Coldplay you singled out for being shit.

They were great, but not nearly as influential as The Velvet Underground.

I don't think I've heard anything by Mariah Carey in over 10 years, and I've never heard anything by Ashlee Simpson. I'm sure they suck, too, but I'll stick with what I know, which is that Coldplay makes baby Buddha want to kill himself painfully.

Really, how many times should Michael Graves get shot in the face?

I'm voting:

Once for stealing Glenn's schtick
Once for topping it off with King Diamond's hat
Six hundred and sixty-six times for making generic horrorpunk that sounds like one of those Misfits rip-off bands under the name of the Misfits.

No band gets a rating like Led with out working there ASSES off. the part that piss's me off is people talk about Band's like that as "over rated".. How? did they just use a voice changer, or lip scync CoughAshleeSimpsonCough.. NO they went out and played there asses off blood sweat and tears. And people sit there and say "oh this band is over rated"...Why? they earned the respect and deserve all of it.

Do you even know what overrated means?

I doubt it, because you don't even know how to spell it correctly...one word, mate.

Se7en · « **Reply #40 on:** 13 Oct 2005, 10:21 »

Actually, "overrated" isnt really a word. It should be two, or hyphenated.

Mad Onion · « **Reply #41 on:** 13 Oct 2005, 17:13 »

Yes I know what over-rated means. It means that someone thinks this thing doesn't deserve to be thought of as good, great, etc. I means that someone thinks this thing doesn't deserve the merit it has gotten.
