That, and he also sang incredibly powerfully and at the top of his range constantly. Even by the end of Zeppelin he was beginning to lose the power in his voice.

Whenever I listen to the song Over the Hills and Far Away I get this image in my head of a young 7-8 year old girl in a dress picking flowers with this weird shirtless 16th century guy with a joint dancing up to her.

Are you Squidding me? He was done before he was even 30 years old.

He never warmed up his voice, that's probably it

Tenor voices deteriorate very early, it's a trade off for having a godlike range from 25-35. Baritones and Basses get better with age (Michael Gira, Leonard Cohen, Lou Reed, David Bowie etc.) but can't hit the notes a tenor can ever.

he had the vocal chord surgery in mid 70's and he smoked a lot of cigarettes
no wonder he sounds like shit now
