I’ve never met a musician who isn’t hypercritical.

Just an art thing.

And Plant’s voice is a screech. Page was the best thing about Zeppelin, but nowhere near as good as when he was with Beck in the Yardbirds.

“Page was the best thing about Zeppelin”

Jimmy Page lead breaks were rather simple. It was described to me thusly... trick 1, trick 2, trick 3, trick 2 (7 times), power chord, back to trick 1, then repeat the hook.

Page was a good hook mechanic tho.

Bonham was the drummer Zep needed

JPJ’s bass work and other instrumentation was delivered as only a seasoned studio musician could.

Plant had his moments.

Bowie... was okay
Elton... the yellow brick road release kicked some serious butt.

Richards was always gabby...

I’ve seen the Stones twice, personally I think they suck live.
