I made a thread about LZ not so long ago.

They did introduce a lot to rock in terms of production, sound and song structure. But it didn't make their blues rehashes sound any less stale. In result they sound less like rock innovators and more like Stevie Ray Vaughan.

As for Robert Plant, he had good voice. But half of LZ lyrics were copied from blues songs without giving credit. Simple googling will show you that. "OOOOH SWEET MAMA I WANNA BE YO BACKDOOR MAN" doesn't cut it for me.

It's not about stealing, it's about what they took. They played blues for way too long without building much on top of it. Also, I don't remember Page wrote particularly good melodies, he just sounded like Howling Wolf/BB King/Muddy Waters and so on. It was a straight ticket to oblivion after the 1960s.

At the time when Pink Floyd, Genesis, Jethro Tull, Rush, Yes, and of course King Crimson were actually going away or improving upon old blues, Page continued to hold on to it. No wonder they were on their way to the "out door".

Unsurprisingly, some of the best LZ songs were made when they tried something different. Kashmir and Achille's last stand are prime examples of it. But still Page always came back to blues again.

Kashmir and Achille's last stand aren't even close to their best songs. Blues is in every genre of popular music shithead.

>"Babe I'm Gonna Leave You"
Zeppelin did nothing wrong here, they covered Joan Baez' version which had no writing credit at all so it was credited as Traditional. Unbeknownst to them it was actually written by Anne Bredon. Hint: the internet wasn't around in 1968

>"Black Mountain Side"
Uncredited and should have been credited to Jansch. No issue with this claim.

>"Bring It On Home"
The intro section was intended as a tribute rather than trying to pass it off as their own work, given that it was almost the same as the original. However it should have been credited.

>"Communication Breakdown"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Skx5qP65r2g
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qoqQnR8NOVI
There is similarity, probably an influence but there's no way you credit it to Cochran. Music doesn't exist in a vacuum.

>"Custard Pie"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4t59S92GpTc&nohtml5=False
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qyI7QAnaVQQ
I'm really not sure where Custard Pie comes from that. It's quite ludicrous really and shows the true intentions of the people who come up with this drivel.

>"Dazed And Confused"
Probably the worst of the claims, no issue with this either. Obviously taken from Holmes.
>"Hats Off To (Roy) Harper"
So now we have Custard Pie and Hats Off To (Roy) Harper, two imaginably different songs from one blues song (Shake 'Em On Down linked above) that sounds nothing like either. Ridiculous.

"In My Time Of Dying"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=77lTCWRTy8g&nohtml5=False
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yZgblTKscX0
This is Bob Dylan's version. Obviously it sounds exactly like Led Zeppelin's version!! More importantly he also credited it to traditional but of course only Zeppelin stole it!!

>"The Lemon Song"
A slowed down version of Killing Floor definitely. No issue here.

>"Moby Dick"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g4EyM5r1iRI

Moby Dick right here folks. Such absolute drivel.

"Nobody's Fault But Mine"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y_o4omd8T5c
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j6nCdlyuJ6g
Once again we see how much the Led Zeppelin "version" sounded exactly nothing like the "original".

>"Stairway To Heaven"
A similar chord progression for the opening lick, such plagiarism!!

>"White Summer"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CYABfZ7HMhM
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eb_bTymOAyk
This one really does sound like Jimmy's version, almost identical. No issue with this claim.

So there we have it, precisely 4 Led Zeppelin songs (2 of which were instrumental guitar pieces) were genuine rip offs out of 100+.
>>
imo what Led Zep did with old blues songs is kinda what Kanye has done with Otis Redding, Can, Daft Punk, etc. Except Led Zeppelin consistently made the music better. The original versions of Dazed and Confused and When the Levee Breaks are pretty shit in comparison. From a monetary perspective, what they did was really shitty but from a musical perspective they did nothing wrong.

Led Zeppelin did a whole lot for music—there's no denying that. But their cult blinds people to their obvious shortcomings—namely that they played incredibly backwards music most of the time. Compared to what Hendrix did on Are You Experienced and what Stooges did in their short time as a band, Led Zeppelin sounded like retrogrades they were. Instrument wankery really means nothing, when Page sounded too old for music even in the 70s.

>led zeppelin I pretty much invented hard rock.
They didn't invent it at all.

"In the 1960s, American and British blues and rock bands began to modify rock and roll by adding harder sounds, heavier guitar riffs, bombastic drumming, and louder vocals, from electric blues.[11] Early forms of hard rock can be heard in the work of Chicago blues musicians Elmore James, Muddy Waters, and Howlin' Wolf,[16] The Kingsmen's version of "Louie Louie" (1963) which made it a garage rock standard,[17] and the songs of rhythm and blues influenced British Invasion acts,[18] including "You Really Got Me" by The Kinks (1964),[19] "My Generation" by The Who (1965),[5] "Shapes of Things" (1966) by The Yardbirds and "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction" (1965) by The Rolling Stones.[20] …

Blues rock acts that pioneered the sound included Cream, The Jimi Hendrix Experience, and The Jeff Beck Group.[5] …"

> jimmy page invented the lead guitarist as a symbol.

They simply emphasized their cult aspect. The cult always came first for them

Please, compare the sound of any of those songs to Zeppelin, they don't have the power in the recordings or rock nearly as hard. Don't be a contrarian for the sake of it.

>They simply emphasized their cult aspect. The cult always came first for them

meme response

Zeppelin are guilty of the following atrocious and grievous crimes against music:

1. Making entire albums out of stolen blues licks and saying OH YEAH YEAH YEAH BABY BABY OH BABY 50x a song
2. Inspiring all of the overwrought hair metal/cockrock/lighter-waving arena rock bullshit
3. Releasing singles that have been played on the radio 40x every day for the last 40+ years
4. The ultimate casual, normalfag band that back in the day appealed to normalfag white suburban teens who grew up to be accountant minivan dads that tortured their kids by forcing them to listen to dadrock on the radio as they're driving them to soccer practice

>>64595095
I'm not gonna go around spouting that Zeppelin is shit because I can still listen to them, but I went through the whole phase where they were the greatest thing to ever happen. Now they are just okay.

Zeppelin were good at what they did which was codifying the hard rock / heavy metal of the '66-69 period and giving it a slick studio treatment and packaging. There was nothing original about them except their studio savvy and their budgets.
>>
Hendrix, Sabbath, The Who, Alice Cooper, and many others all sounded much more modern and forward-thinking than Zeppelin.

While Zeppelin were still doing the same old twangly clangly 50s Chicago blues licks, Aerosmith were giving us a preview of the 80s...in 1974.

Why do people on this shit board always take either one extreme stance or the other

They weren't great but they were a mediocre band with a few good songs. They were fairly uncreative and bland most of the time.

Grow up you clowns and form your own taste.
>>
>>64605311
Yeah, because Plant had a distinctive voice and their songs receive enough radio play that anybody could recognize them. That doesn't mean it isn't simplistic and derivative. Pretty good for being simplistic and derivative, but not very interesting compared to many of their contemporaries. But I don't care for traditional blues much, so that may just be a personal bias. I much prefer music that isn't tied down in those blues chord progressions and melodies.

Why do people immediately go for either LD made the stolen songs better or worse?

The original blues tracks have a raw emotional feel to them that is in none of the Led Zepplin versions.

BUT

As overrated as Plant is for not being that good, and it's really all on Page for copying this shit making him pathetic, what JPJ and Bonham did on for the rhythm section of the band is what truly gets the more hard rock feel from these blues tracks. They are what make Led Zepplin good. Their work on the rhythm section has been as a result a huge influence on all music today because they can take watered down copied guitar/vocal work and make it badass.

So yeah TL;DR both original and Zepplin versions are worth listening to but for different reasons.
>>

The problem is not that Led Zeppelin covers Blues classics but that they don't attribute properly.
Even just fine print on the album cover would be sufficient. But no, their bloated egos don't allow that.

Robert Plant's voice sounded like shit.

The guitar solos got annoying.

They didn't experiment very much with timbre or sonic textures in their music. It mostly just sounded like standard 70s hard rock guitar.

But they were talented musicians and they made some pretty good music.
>>
I like Black Dog and it doesn't sound _too_ Howlin' Wolf.
>>
>>64605983
Your first 2 points are fair enough but they definitely stood out from "standard 70s hard rock guitar"
Page had a cool guitar tone and they had a sound to them that just never got quite matched.

CSNY were just the 60s version of some modern Birkenstock liberal hipster band who drink Frappucinos and whine about how unfair this pig capitalist society is when they've never had any real hardship in their life and their parents paid for their degree in African basket weaving.

No, scratch that. The modern groups are worse because they don't even have the excuse of protesting a war that people are being drafted into.

Well, yeah. Those old bluesmen were real. Their music came from growing up in poverty in the Jim Crow South. Not so much spoiled whiteboys like Eric Clapton who wanted to be blues singers but lacked what it took altogether.

My only complaint with Led Zeppelin is the sheer inconsistency in their albums. They can go from being complete shit to being absolutely amazing in the shift of one song. One second you're hearing Rock 'n Roll, and literally one song later, you're hearing the fucking Battle of Evermore. I still have no idea what those first tracks on IV were doing there. That's like if Comus started out the First Utterance with a cover of the Twist. Led Zeppelin's peaks were absolutely incredible, but there were almost always a couple of shit tracks thrown in, as apposed to most bands having 'bad' albums and 'good' albums with not as much overlapping. You weren't going to get two or three four minute synth pop tracks thrown in on Spirit of Eden and Laughing Stock. The only Led Zeppelin album that I think is great from start to finish is Houses of the Holy, which I think is hands down Led Zeppelin's finest album and one of the best of the 1970's.

Howlin' Wolf actually did pretty well for himself money-wise because he was very shrewd with his finances. He was in a quite comfortable position when he died.

Most normies who claim that Led Zeppelin are the greatest band of all time probably have never even heard the Rain Song. They get the most attention for their most mundane work.

Fuck those guys. They and Exile era Stones created all of the hairspray/cockrock cancer with Plant's overwrought bullshit.

I've always enjoyed Toys In The Attic by Aerosmith. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T68J6BQwMtQ

I agree about all those artists you mentioned, but I still think Zeppelin did something forward and forward thinking in their own way. I personally enjoy them and their live stuff is top tier.

He does the same thing in his reviews of Alberta Hunter.

"There's more honesty and passion in this 83 year old's music than all the war babies combined have done in the last several years."

I agree. Also Beethoven was a talentless hack who stole his ninth symphony from Mozart.

I've never been able to get over the shit production on their albums. It sounds like a fuzzy 45 record from the 50s.
