so i'm back from the bar, and yet again i got into a discussion about zeppelin as they were playing on the jukebox. i just don't get what the big deal is. why are people so crazy over zeppelin? frankly i don't think they're anythign special. yeah, they're good, but thats all. average even. i don't think they hold anything musically to the likes of smashing pumpkins, primus, metallica, or radiohead. they just don't seem to do anything for me, where the other guys do. whats the big deal? anyways i'm goin to bed. laterz
whats the deal with led zeppelin???

I swear I was going to be more PC than that ^^^, but after reading ^^^...I have nothing else to say.
[Well, maybe just a little! Led Zeppelin was ahead of their time. You have to understand the whole mindset of that age...the whole "vibe" was much different than it is today. As a matter of fact, there actually was "a vibe" whereas nowadays, it's just "who's on MTV this week" and if you're not next week, you're a has-been.
I was thinking the same thing, I heard of Craptallica but the other one's are who? and what have they done for the industry besides fight napster
Anubis
No Lifer
Cause they rock!
i personally dont think they are teh best band ever. but they are very good and very different then Matallica and thoes other bands you mentioned

luser. Oh god what a l00ser.
radiohead? Primus? Metallica? oh god, what are you smoking. Smashing Pumpkins? lay off the crack.
btw, the only reason i decided to reply to this thread is because im listening to Led *right* now.
suprisingly enough, my favorite song isnt stairway to heaven. even though that is one of the best songs. my fav is The Battle of Evermore.
i especially like all the LOTR references found throughout the unnamed album.

I think what helped differentiate them from the rest of the bands of the time was the vast difference of sounds they came up with. You can hear how their music inspired a lot of the bands you listed. For some reason I hear that people usually stick to the music they listen to between the ages 13-23 or something like that. I'm 23 now, and during that time I listened to mainly newer rock like pumpkins/metallica and some classic like Pink Floyd and Zepp. I don't really like much other classic rock other than those two bands. If you haven't, listen to Houses of the Holy, its my favorite Zepp album.
god damn it, dont you dare compare pink floyd to bob dylan. pink floyd = copy then frame original, hang on wall. Bob Dylan..... shotgun practice anyone?

Whaaaat? You don't like Dylan? How can you not like the man that wrote Subterranean Homesick Blues??
Johnny's in the basement
Mixing up the medicine
I'm on the pavement
Thinking about the government
The man in the trench coat
Badge out, laid off
Says he's got a bad cough
Wants to get it paid off
Look out kid
It's somethin' you did
God knows when
But you're doin' it again
You better duck down the alley way
Lookin' for a new friend
The man in the my excellent compatriot-skin cap
In the big pen
Wants eleven dollar bills
You only got ten
Maggie comes fleet foot
Face full of black soot
Talkin' that the heat put
Plants in the bed but
The phone's tapped anyway
Maggie says that many say
They must bust in early May
Orders from the D. A.
Look out kid
Don't matter what you did
Walk on your tip toes
Don't try "No Doz"
Better stay away from those
That carry around a fire hose
Keep a clean nose
Watch the plain clothes
You don't need a weather man
To know which way the wind blows
Get sick, get well
Hang around a ink well
Ring bell, hard to tell
If anything is goin' to sell
Try hard, get barred
Get back, write braille
Get jailed, jump bail
Join the army, if you fail
Look out kid
You're gonna get hit
But users, cheaters
Six-time losers
Hang around the theaters
Girl by the whirlpool
Lookin' for a new fool
Don't follow leaders
Watch the parkin' meters
Ah get born, keep warm
Short pants, romance, learn to dance
Get dressed, get blessed
Try to be a success
Please her, please him, buy gifts
Don't steal, don't lift
Twenty years of schoolin'
And they put you on the day shift
Look out kid
They keep it all hid
Better jump down a manhole
Light yourself a candle
Don't wear sandals
Try to avoid the scandals
Don't wanna be a bum
You better chew gum
The pump don't work
'Cause the vandals took the handles

You need to study the history of music and how it has evolved. What Led Zeppelin did at the time was revolutionary, the cutting edge of mixing blues and hard rock to create one of the original heavy metal bands (the term "heavy metal" was invented by Steppenwolf). You like Metallica? their sound was/is heavily influenced by Zeppelin. In other words, there would have been no Metallica if there hadn't first been Zeppelin.
Now do you get it?
Now do you get it?
dont make me copy and paste the entire wall, come on now. you dont ever compare pink floyd to bob dylan.
i have done shotgun practice with bob dylan albums. it's extra incentive to hit the target.
fine, cut and paste. im cruel like that.
In the Flesh? (Waters)
"....we came in?"
So ya
Thought ya
Might like to go to the show.
To feel the warm thrill of confusion
That space cadet glow.
Tell me is something eluding you, sunshine?
Is this not what you expected to see?
If you wanna find out what's behind these cold eyes
You'll just have to claw your way through this disguise.
"Lights! Turn on the sound effects! Action!"
"Drop it, drop it on 'em! Drop it on them!!!!!"
The Thin Ice (Waters)
Momma loves her baby
And daddy loves you too.
And the sea may look warm to you babe
And the sky may look blue
But ooooh Baby
Ooooh baby blue
Oooooh babe.
If you should go skating
On the thin ice of modern life
Dragging behind you the silent reproach
Of a million tear-stained eyes
Don't be surprised when a crack in the ice
Appears under your feet.
You slip out of your depth and out of your mind
With your fear flowing out behind you
As you claw the thin ice.
Another Brick in the Wall Part 1 (Waters)
Daddy's flown across the ocean
Leaving just a memory

Daddy what else did you leave for me?
Daddy, what'd'ja leave behind for me?!?

The Happiest Days of our Lives (Waters)
When we grew up and went to school
There were certain teachers who would
Hurt the children in any way they could
"OOF!" [someone being hit]
By pouring their derision
Upon anything we did
And exposing every weakness
However carefully hidden by the kids
But in the town, it was well known
When they got home at night, their fat and
Psychopathic wives would thrash them
Within inches of their lives.
Another Brick in the Wall part 2 (Waters)
We don't need no education
We dont need no thought control
No dark sarcasm in the classroom
Teachers leave them kids alone
Hey! Teachers! Leave them kids alone!
All in all it's just another brick in the wall.
All in all you're just another brick in the wall.
We don't need no education
We dont need no thought control
No dark sarcasm in the classroom
Teachers leave them kids alone
Hey! Teachers! Leave them kids alone!
All in all it's just another brick in the wall.
All in all you're just another brick in the wall.
"Wrong, Do it again!"
"If you don't eat yer meat, you can't have any pudding. How can you
have any pudding if you don't eat yer meat?"

Mother (Waters)
Mother do you think they'll drop the bomb?
Mother do you think they'll like this song?
Mother do you think they'll try to break my balls?
Mother should I build the wall?
Mother should I run for president?
Mother should I trust the government?
Mother will they put me in the firing line?
Mother am I really dying?
Hush now baby, baby, dont you cry.
Mother's gonna make all your nightmares come true.
Mother's gonna put all her fears into you.
Mother's gonna keep you right here under her wing.
She wont let you fly, but she might let you sing.
Mama will keep baby cozy and warm.
Ooooh baby ooooh baby oooooh baby,
Of course mama'll help to build the wall.
Mother do you think she's good enough -- to me?
Mother do you think she's dangerous -- to me?
Mother will she tear your little boy apart?
Mother will she break my heart?
Hush now baby, baby dont you cry.
Mama's gonna check out all your girlfriends for you.
Mama wont let anyone dirty get through.
Mama's gonna wait up until you get in.
Mama will always find out where you've been.
Mama's gonna keep baby healthy and clean.
Ooooh baby oooh baby oooh baby,
You'll always be baby to me.
Mother, did it need to be so high?
Goodbye Blue Sky (Waters)
"Look mummy, there's an aeroplane up in the sky"
Did you see the frightened ones?
Did you hear the falling bombs?
Did you ever wonder why we had to run for shelter when the
promise of a brave new world unfurled beneath a clear blue
sky?
Did you see the frightened ones?
Did you hear the falling bombs?
The flames are all gone, but the pain lingers on.
Goodbye, blue sky
Goodbye, blue sky.
Goodbye.
Goodbye.
Goodbye.

Young Lust (Gilmour, Waters)
I am just a new boy,
Stranger in this town.
Where are all the good times?
Who's gonna show this stranger around?
Ooooh, I need a dirty woman.
Ooooh, I need a dirty girl.
Will some cold woman in this desert land
Make me feel like a real man?
Take this rock and roll refugee
Oooh, baby set me free.
Ooooh, I need a dirty woman.
Ooooh, I need a dirty girl.

Will you accept the charges from United States?"

Is there supposed to be someone else there besides your wife there to answer?"

Day after day, love turns grey
Like the skin of a dying man.
Night after night, we pretend its all right
But I have grown older and
You have grown colder and
Nothing is very much fun any more.
And I can feel one of my turns coming on.
I feel cold as a razor blade,
Tight as a tourniquet,
Dry as a funeral drum.
Run to the bedroom,
In the suitcase on the left
You'll find my favorite axe.
Don't look so frightened
This is just a passing phase,
One of my bad days.
Would you like to watch T.V.?
Or get between the sheets?
Or contemplate the silent freeway?
Would you like something to eat?
Would you like to learn to fly?
Would'ya?
Would you like to see me try?
Would you like to call the cops?
Do you think it's time I stopped?
Why are you running away?
Don't Leave Me Now (Waters)
Ooooh, babe
Don't leave me now.
Don't say it's the end of the road.
Remember the flowers I sent.
I need you, babe
To put through the shredder
In front of my friends
Ooooh Babe.
Dont leave me now.
How could you go?
When you know how I need you
To beat to a pulp on a Saturday night
Ooooh Babe.
How could you treat me this way?
Running away.
I need you, Babe.
Why are you running away?
Oooooh Babe!
