Yeah, it's Saturday night and I'm sick of reading about Mel Gibson and Lebanon.
It put a smile on my face to learn that the greatest band ever is still selling albums to a new generation of fans.

Zep, Sabbath, Deep Purple, etc. They still sell, because they were GOOD. Today's music has no shelf life. cRap and Pop (which is pretty much all there is nowadays). Grunge doesn't seem ti have much staying power either.
Great songs played by great musicians.
Saw 'em once -- summer of '77, L.A. Forum. Loudest show I've ever attended by a wide margin. ....and the songs (especially "No Quarter" and "Dazed and Confused") were even more long an drawn out than usual. But a good show overall. Found myself focused on Bonham's percussion work. ....mesmerizing.
The proper question is why they were ever popular in the first place.
They weren't even the first band to rip off Muddy Waters, Ledbelly, and Link Wray and they didn't do it half as well as the Stones did.
Unadulterated overly self indulgent claptrap. The only concert I ever suffered through that was worse than Zepellin was the Dead.

At work the other day I got in the elevator, and etched in the stainless steel was "Zoso", with the tail of the "Z" extend under the "oso". And this has been going on for what, over 30 years?
Some things just stand the test of time.
I've been a fan of Led Zeppelin for as long as I can remember. I was raised on classic rock.
It's Icarus, not Apollo. Ignorant morons.
Led Zepplin is definately the greatest rock band ever, well I'd say hard rock band ever, but my quibble might reveal my ignorance.

A little FReeper trivia.
Good ol' RightOnline actually works directly for Jimmy Page's daughter. Fact. Truth.
Next time he comes here to visit his grandkids......I swear I'm gonna round up my Fender Twin, my Les Paul Custom and my Carvin DC-400A, head to my manager's lovely home.....and jam with Jimmy Page. It's gonna happen.
Cuz they rock.
aw man, I'm two days too late for this thread!
