Bleh. Zep is overplayed and overrated. You’re better off with bands with truly original ideas (e.g. Purple, Heep, Sabbath) from that era. (Yes, they did ballads; Heep’s cover of “Come Away Melinda” from their first album is quite the classic.)

I like a lot of Zep but I’ve always hated Stairway to Heaven.

I grew up in that era....born 1957...to claim led zepplin is blah because they are overplayed for 40 years is crazy

Yes like anything good from then compared to the plethora of crap now
Its overplayed but not because It was blah but frigging incredible
And the bands you list were no more original though Sabbath does shine singularly

Uriah Heep...cool name but Demons and Wizard...its like Spinal Tap
Compared to how far zep took missippi blues and olde English music

Deep Purple...I’m ambivalent

A I saw all of them...some several times

Freepers are unusual about their music pronouncements at times

Are u real time on those bands or retroactive?
