If Dazed and Confused is a 1967 song, Led Zeppelin version is definitely a 1969 song!

In this Music discussion Most Underrated/Overrated Artists on the site Music Banter this guy who even likes hard rock and heavy metal music said the first most overrated is Led Zeppelin and said in parenthesis, bombastic cock rock and nothing else.

I have found a lot of people on music forums who hate or don't like Led Zeppelin even some on heavy metal forums. And even some people who for some puzzling reason like their music,say they can't stand Robert Plant's awful screeching,screaming and whaling vocals.



The Boston Globe has an online article from March 2009,called I Confess I Don’t Like… written by all of their music critics and Luke O’Neil wrote that when people talk of classic bands they don’t like they’re really speaking in coded language.He said for example “I don’t like The Beatles.” is the same as saying,”I’m a liar” he said but when I say I don’t like Led Zeppelin there’s no subtext. He then says a lot of it has to do with Robert Plant’s fiendish helium-powered caterwauling. He says he tends to prefer bands with vocalists not police sirens in tight pants.He also said the lyrics which run the gamut unimaginative doggerel to too-imaginative fantasy goofs don’t help.



He then says sure they inspired a lot of great bands,but should we not then hold them accountable for the thousands of downright awful imitators they’ve inspired? Remember that whole hair metal thing in the 80’s? He says who do you think put the bustle in those dudes hedgerow? And grunge? He says that was basically goateed Led Zeppelin on Smack. http://www.boston.com/ae/music/gallery/we_should?pg=10



Rock music critic John Mendelson never liked Led Zeppelin either.



Van Halen in the late 70's early-mid 80's with David Lee Roth sounded a million times better! So do the Who,The Rolling Stones,The Eagles,etc and The Beatles are a zillion times better.

Zach, you are right about Led Zeppelin being the most overrated,but wrong about The Beatles.

Zeppelin was the second greatest band to be inducted, after the Stones

If kids these days think Greta Van Fleet is gonna get inducted into the Hall once they become eligible at some point, say this to them for the laughs: “They’re in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and they were called Led Zeppelin.”

Greta Van Fleet are wannabe Zeppelin trash. Such a pointless band.

Posted by David on Monday, 08/12/2019 @ 07:57am

While you may not enjoy Greta Van Fleet, I don't either, you can't ignore the fact that they are arguably one of the few saving grace rock bands in a new century of mainly Mainstream Pop and Rap. Not to mention the fact that when they do become eligible, they'll most likely get inducted. This is assuming they keep up their current popularity and release at least three or four more solid albums that get decent critical and/or public appraise.

Actually there is a ton of great indie rock that is being released all the time that is way better than that formulaic shit. Also hip hop and pop are mostly better than that shit as well. They offer nothing in the way of innovation or taste.

It is interesting to me that a band who worshipped Led Zeppelin by the name of Def Leppard gets nominated and inducted. So, what did DL do that qualified them for induction? Just sayin'....
