As good a description of Zep's music as any. And yep, they're overplayed because they're amazing.
And speaking of ballads, they had a few epic ones too -- "Going to California"......"Ten Years Gone"....."The Rain Song"......

As a recovering Zep junkie, I nominate these two:

Zepplin, The Floyd, Who, LS, Allman Brothers, Stones, some Beatles, Kinks, Spirit, Bowie ala Ziggy, Reed with Hunter and Wagner, Hendrix/Axis, anything Beck..Jeff, even Animals, first half dozen Tull works...and so forth
man...you just cannot put a handle on how hard that stuff is to match or replicate
50s rock and roll was great ...I listened as my mom listened to Elvis, Little Richard, Chuck, Jerry, Bill, Link etc.. but 60s and early 70s Rock usurped that limelight handily
and aside from little blips here and there and none recently that has not happened since
nothing has usurped 1967-74...nothing..not punk or big hair or new wave or grunge or today
it’s sad
i find little things I like today...which given my age means it must really suck right?
last song I reallt liked was arguably Bad Girlfriend or Danni California (speaking of the new kings of cash producing ballads eh?)
I like what Shinedown does but it’s a rehash.
I’m more likely to be found listening to Jamey Johnson or my church mate Jason Aldean today or WSM
but if I want to get motivated...LZIV is hard to beat..side two...Big Momma’s ode to the river would be appropriate right now...I’m tempted to drive over and see...I was on the levee for the 73 flood..got within 8 feet of the top of a bigassed levee south of Vicksburg
this one is bigger
the Mississippi river at full level is so big folks don’t really know till they see it...south of Memphis it’s like the lower Amazon..an amazing amount of water
