They are not my fav band, but I like some of their songs. One of my fav is "Tangerine".

Led Zeppelin is my favorite band along with the Beatles and the Rolling Stones.. There are three things that I do believe in on a musical perspective,and that is THE BEATLES,THE ROLLING STONES & LED ZEPPELIN..These bands rock!

Got mine for Robert Plant in Myrtle Beach SC USA. Gonna sit on the beach, have a few drinks and a smoke...and head over to the show.. How cool will that be?...... If you don't have How the West....you need to get it TODAY!!! Next to the BBC sessions, its the best Zep without a doubt (although I am a big fan of Houses of the Holy, II and III)

- Led Zeppelin By Dave Grohl Heavy metal would not exist without Led Zeppelin, and if it did, it would suck. Led Zeppelin were more than just a band -- they were the perfect combination of the most intense elements: passion and mystery and expertise. It always seemed like Led Zeppelin were searching for something. They weren't content being in one place, and they were always trying something new. They could do anything, and I believe they would have done everything if they hadn't been cut short by John Bonham's death. Zeppelin served as a great escape from a lot of things. There was a fantasy element to everything they did, and it was such a major part of what made them important. Who knows if we'd all be watching Lord of the Rings movies right now if it wasn't for Zeppelin. They were never critically acclaimed in their day, because they were too experimental and they were too fringe. In 1968 and '69, there was some freaky shit going on, but Zeppelin were the freakiest. I consider Jimmy Page freakier than Jimi Hendrix. Hendrix was a genius on fire, whereas Page was a genius possessed. Zeppelin concerts and albums were like exorcisms for them. People had their asses blown out by Hendrix and Jeff Beck and Eric Clapton, but Page took it to a whole new level, and he did it in such a beautifully human and imperfect way. He plays the guitar like an old bluesman on acid. When I listen to Zeppelin bootlegs, his solos can make me laugh or they can make me tear up. Any live version of "Since I Been Loving You" will bring you to tears and fill you with joy all at once. Page doesn't just use his guitar as an instrument. For him, it's like some sort of emotional translator. John Bonham played the drums like someone who didn't know what was going to happen next -- like he was teetering on the edge of a cliff. No one has come close to that since, and I don't think anybody ever will. I think he will forever be the greatest drummer of all time. You have no idea how much he influenced me. I spent years in my bedroom -- literally fucking years -- listening to Bonham's drums and trying to emulate his swing or his behind-the-beat swagger or his speed or power. Not just memorizing what he did on those albums but getting myself into a place where I would have the same instinctual direction as he had. I have John Bonham tattoos all over my body -- on my wrists, my arms, my shoulders. I gave myself one when I was fifteen. It's the three circles that were his insignia on Zeppelin IV and on the front of his kick drum. "Black Dog," from Zeppelin IV, is what Led Zeppelin were all about in their most rocking moments, a perfect example of their true might. It didn't have to be really distorted or really fast, it just had to be Zeppelin and it was really heavy. Then there's Zeppelin's sensitive side -- something people overlook, because we think of them as rock beasts, but Zeppelin III was full of gentle beauty. That was the soundtrack to me dropping out of high school. I listened to it every single day in my VW bug, while I contemplated my direction in life. That album, for whatever reason, saved some light in me that I still have. I heard them for the first time on AM radio in the Seventies, right around the time that "Stairway to Heaven" was so popular. I was six or seven years old, which is when I'd just started discovering music. But it wasn't until I was a teenager that I discovered the first two Zeppelin records, which were handed down to me from the real stoners. We had a lot of those in the suburbs of Virginia, and a lot of muscle cars and keggers and Zeppelin and acid and weed. Somehow they all went hand in hand. To me, Zeppelin were spiritually inspirational. I was going to Catholic school and questioning God, but I believed in Led Zeppelin. I wasn't really buying into this Christianity thing, but I had faith in Led Zeppelin as a spiritual entity. They showed me that human beings could channel this music somehow and that it was coming from somewhere. It wasn't coming from a songbook. It wasn't coming from a producer. It wasn't coming from an instructor. It was coming from somewhere else. I believe Zeppelin will come back and prove themselves to once again be the greatest rock band of all time. It will happen. They'll find someone to play the drums and I'll be right there, front row at every goddamn show. Then I could finally die a happy man.

Whole Lotta Tour Updated 01:58 PDT Wed, Apr 06 2005 Fresh off his keynote appearance at March's South By Southwest conference, Robert Plant is preparing to return to North America for a tour backing his upcoming release, Mighty Rearranger. The former Led Zeppelin frontman so far plans to make the rounds of theatres, casino venues and sheds in June and July, kicking things off in at the Providence Performing Arts Center in Rhode Island June 15 and winding down at the Greek Theatre in Los Angeles July 24. In between, he'll crisscross the continent with stops including Boston, New York City, Atlanta, Toronto, Chicago, Denver, Las Vegas and San Francisco. Mighty Rearranger is a collection of new original songs with Plant's backing band, the Strange Sensations. But fans can expect a healthy dose of Plant and Led Zep classics as well. In the meantime, Plant is in the midst of a seven-concert series at London's Royal Albert Hall to benefit The Teenage Cancer Trust, along with The Who's Roger Daltrey, Eric Clapton, as well as newcomers Franz Ferdinand and Keane. http://www.pollstar.com/news/viewnews.pl?NewsID=3913

Saw Plant in Myrtle Beach on March 21, see part of my post from the Led Zep forum (which really rocks, by the way): ____________________________________________________________ 24 hours after the show sitting at home letting it burn in..thought I'd share some random thoughts: I was about 15 feet from him at stage level on the side (the HOB has a big pit in the floor with standing room on the stairs on both sides so you were eye level with him if you were on the side, so the stage is about head level if you were in the pit on the floor)...damn crowded but I just danced my way to that spot...(take some ear plugs in case you get stuck in front of the speakers...Percy cranks it.....) He came onstage damn early (8:30) we later found out...caught us by surprise....(thanks for not ragging us yet, Percarara) For me: Babe I'm Gonna Leave You: At the part where he does his killer scream "OOOHWWAAHH baby, baby, baby" with the descending chords, and then "We're gonna walk through the park everday" ... the crowd REALLY got off at that point...he just kept saying "Baby...baby...baby" MESMERIZING.. Tall Cool One : I love this song anyway so when he did his thing about Tupelo and Elvis...lifted up his glass and said "Lets do one for the King"...well, of course, we all gave him a round of rebel yells....he had a big smile on his face......The band smoked through TCO with Percy slumping down in his Vegas Elvis hip grinding move...... Sir Robert just groovin away....looking at the crowd as the band plowed rockin damn hard...I 'bout knocked the kid in front of me over about four times.....right at "Lighten up baby I'm in love with you" I was dancing and pointing right at him and he looked me straight in the eye and nodded as he was dancing...the 15 year old in front of me just whipped right around to her mom with this wild look on her face......yep, Percy's one hell of a drug Whole Lotta.. Whole Lotta Gettin Off on this one.. Even the cool moms who brought their kids did a bit of head banging on this one.......He watched the drummer a good bit toward the end so it appeared to me that they were improvising on the spot....such a killer version with all of the percussion....and Robert doing his little hippie dance in circles....so damn good... At the end he asked for the house lights to come up "so we can see everybody" he then looked at us all clapping and smiling like crazy....the band seemed to almost make him do a bow so they could leave....he really looked happy and said about four times "this is nice...this is really nice"...he made a lot of eye contact with people and waved at people in the crowd... They grabbed few people who went backstage...he was done by 10:25. .........this one will stay with me a long time... Percy's vibe is very different from McCartney.. nobody was crying at the songs..most of the kids there were just staring with their mouths open.....while the oldies like myself just settled in and danced with him.......it was so good that lots of folks were totally taken away and just stood there drooling. No doubt one of the best shows I've ever seen from anybody...... ___________________________________________________________ Don't know why everyone is leaving out the last two and maybe best Zep cds. Yes, they were released after the death of John Henry Bonham, but they all were recorded with him: The BBC Sessions (had this on bootleg vinyl for years) How the West Was Won (all killer..no filler)

should I sign up in the official thread of the all times best second band?

LED ZEP IV is called THE ZOSO album

Zeppelin is one of the most incredible bands of all time. My favorite albums of theirs are Led Zeppelin I. It's probably the greatest first album ever. It showed the world they can make the blues rock hard. Led Zeppelin II and IV are also incredible. Without number IV we never would have heard Stairway which in my opinion is the greatest song ever recorded.
