Led Zeppelin is the most overrated band of all time. Every one of their albums is like a Lord of the Rings soundtrack. Most overrated band of all time convince me otherwise.

Not all the songs are cheesy hippy dippy bollocks. Just most of them.
Physical Graffiti, their 1975 double vinyl has some half decent lyrics.
Most of their music sounds like tin cans, bottles, and glass clanging into each other.
But that's why I like it! Stairway to Heaven is the top Rock & Roll song of all-time though.
Please keep that in mind.

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!

You can’t convince a rock that just sits there with no mind to convince.
Led Zeppelin greatest rock and roll band ever!

Hmm...my post that acknowledged that Lazy was a Deep Purple song was removed. Interesting.
In any event, I was wrong to say that was a Led Zeppelin song. I apologize unreservedly.

I'd put them 3rd behind The Beatles at No. 1 and Queen at No. 2, but they are definitely great.
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.
Watch you mouth. Led Zep is one of the greatest rock bands of all time.

^Thank you. ( which is also a great song)
Bands that are still top sellers and relevant for 50 years wouldn’t qualify as overrated.
Especially considering the band ended with the death of their drummer in the 70s.

Umm ever heard of The Rolling Stones
They pinched a lot of their "better" material. ( and never acknowledged their sources)
