In any event, I was wrong to say that was a Led Zeppelin song. I apologize unreservedly.
That is so weird that your comment and my reaction to it was removed.
WHAT IS WRONG WITH THE MODS HERE?
There was absolutely nothing offensive or illegal going on.
And that Deep Purple song was great. Thanks for that.
This post was removed.

Umm ever heard of The Rolling Stones
I would put them 5th behind Aerosmith at 4, AND depending on the day, I might move Boston ahead of The Rolling Stones.

Perhaps the MODS only like ELO and Air Supply and consider everything else garbage?
Led Zep is an outrageously talented band.

Oh yeah, Lazy is a great song. Glad you liked it! One of my former bands (where I was the keyboard player) was working on that song, but we decided to stop playing (after 4 years of regular gigging) before we put it into the song rotation. Oh well.

Regarding ELO and Air Supply, I'm not really a fan generally, but I do really like these songs:
Evil Woman by ELO
All Out of Love by Air Supply (a little embarrassed to admit that, but the guitar work is really nice, the lyrics are pretty good for a love song, and the singing is top notch)

All i can figure is that in reaction to Flagpole saying that he didn't know how he could make such a mistake, and that he said that maybe he should see a doctor, I posted the song by the NY Dolls called "Pills" (about getting medical help from a 'rock and roll nurse", and something about the Pills reference triggered automated moderation to delete it.
It is strange, though.,

I never cared much for Led Zep.
I gave their catalogue a fresh listening to, and their first album, Led Zepplin 1 just blew me away!
"Good TImes, Bad Times", Dazed and Confused" and a couple of others make this as solid a rock album as I can think of. I mean, I've heard these so many times I know them by heart, but they have always been interspersed amongst their stuff i don't like so much.
The songs on their subsequent albums , imo, are just too heavily reliant on single riffs, monotonously repeated until I can't bear to finish a single one of them. Honestly, if you take the first verse and chorus of any of the songs from those albums, they sound really good. But they go just about nowhere and they put the riff right up front and proceed to beat it to death.
So that about sums it up for me.: earliest stuff showed real genius, with the songs seductive, fluid, and evocative. Later stuff devolved into formulaic, heavy-handed, repetitive torture. I only wish they could have retained some of the explorative sense of discovery of their early work in the relatively stiff work that followed.
Kudos to you for taking a 2nd listen, but sounds like you need a 3rd and maybe a 4th.
They are so versatile and have such a wide variety of songs, your critique falls very flat. Going to California relies on "one heavy riff" and goes nowhere? Rain Song? Since I've been Loving you? No Quarter? Over the Hills and Far Away? Dancing Days? What is and What should never be? Achilles Last Stand?
Led Zep live is where it's at anyway, because they were such an amazing BAND, who let each member explore and take leads where they wanted to go, and always experimented with their songs (but in a way true to the original ideas).
Right now listen to some of their "complete BBC recordings". Amazing versions of Communication Breakdown (several), Since I've been Loving You, Going to California (perfection), etc. Some really good stuff. Then listen to the Song Remains the Same live album, specifically: Rain Song (brilliantly beautiful. Page is a genius, and Plant's voice a wonder), Dazed and Confused (27 minutes, including snippet of hippie song "If you're Going to San Francisco", which they turn into mind blowing metal-psychedelic beauty), Since I've been Loving you.
No one will ever beat Led Zep. Ever.

I can see how they might really shine in the live venue. Fair point, and i will give it a listen. A little more freedom and exploration that usually comes with live performances is exactly the kind of thing i find lacking in their later studio material, so thanks for that.
I also listened to a bunch of their acoustic songs and that was a welcome relief, like "That's the Way" and "Thank You" for example. I found those songs to be better, as a matter of fact.
Just listening to Daze and Confused again.
What a song. It gave my shills in the first couple of seconds.
That's what Led Zeppelin is about, they created a special feeling no other band could.

Jimmy Page is a letsrun moderator. Why do you think there are so few Deep Purple threads on letsun?
The guys a total control freak.
They're a key part of the five point plan... that says it all.

You’re supposed to play their songs backwards.

One of the reasons they get less adulation than their fans think is their due is that they stole material and claimed it as their own.

Wow. I have NEVER heard anyone say that about Led Zeppelin ever. EXECELLENT musicians to start. AMAZING lead vocals. Great song writing.
Black Dog and Kashmir are two of the best rock songs ever. All My Love shows their versatility, and then Lazy shows how awesome they can be on a straight blues song.
Overrated? UNDERRATED!

Could just be that the quick double post triggered an immediate deletion.
Or maybe some mods have an agenda to make people with different views than them look dumb, and they will do this in the silliest ways because they are internet moderators for a living and are silly, silly people.
