Why Led Zeppelin is good as a group:
As a band, they together with Deep Purple, Black Sabbath pioneered a certain format of heavy rock/metal and their influence is far-reaching today in bands like Iron Maiden, Guns'N'Roses or maybe even Slayer or Metallica. ( i'm not too sure about the last 2 ones.) They were one of the first few bands who had long songs (7 mins plus) compared to their forebearers which had 3 -5 mins songs. They are rocky, very much so, one of the biggest rock band in rock history.
Why is Robert Plant (vocals) good:
His high pitched singing is quite incomparable and as my uncle said, only Ian Gillan (Deep Purple) could quite compare to him. Just by having Robert Plant in a song kinda elevates the entire rocky factor.
Main Songs to look out for : Stairway to Heaven, Whole Lotta Love,Black Dog
Why is Jimmy Page (lead guitars) good:
He is one heck of a good guitarist, the heart of Led Zeppelin as he is the chief songwriter and pretty much very rocky. Without him, Led Zep wouldn't be Led Zep.
Main Songs to look out for: Stairway to Heaven, Black Dog, And probably every Led Zep song.
Why is John Paul Jones (bass,keyboards) good:
Although quite inconspicous in the lineup, he makes up for it by having a steady bassline complementing John Bonham's style prefectly.
Main Songs to look out for : Immigrant Song, Whole Lotta Love
Why is John Bonham (drums) good:
He is the driving force of Led Zeppelin, he has powerful rolls, fills, a thunderous right foot and a raging presence. Led Zeppelin broke up because they couldn't find another drummer like him after he died. Proabably rock's best drummer.
Main Songs to look out for: Achilles's Last Stand, MOBY DICK, Rock And Roll.
well with that i complete my entry and as a final parting shot, LED ZEPPELIN RULES
