When Jimmy Page's guitar finally brings "Stairway to Heaven" to a climax, my heart still bursts. Great "Rainy Day" album. "Battle of Evermore" maybe one of the most underrated songs ever recorded. Just press "Play."

A masterpiece of course but not the best of Led zepp. Certainly the most poetic and approachable of the band.

Its a very good album, but its quite overrated. There are better hard rock albums released in the 70´s.

Not a quite overrated, immensely overrated. I do respect this band mainly because of their influence on many forms of music today, but whatever. The Beatles are the most successful band in the history, but still they're boring.
Your guys can kill me, but I'd rather some Glam Metal/Pop Hard Rock than Zeppelin...

Never heard The Beatles described as boring before but hey, everyone is entitled to their personal opinion. I personally think The Beatles were one of the most interesting bands in the history of popular music. Their sound changed incredibly during their short career. An amazing band. And as for this Led Zep album, I don't think it's overrated at all. It's a brilliant album with so many good tracks.

Maybe I got a little harsh here (talking about The Beatles), but for a band titled as 'the worlds greatest band ever', they kinda of sound too 'meh'. I'd like some Beatles tunes like Helter Skelter or With a Little Help from my Friends, but I'd preffer The Rolling Stones (from their same time) or Elvis presley.
Also I'm surprised you gave this album an 8, and not a 10  Perhaps I should listen to 'Physical Graffiti' later to see if the band turned into something more enjoyable for my own ears

I don't give out 10s very often. I would definitely recommend you listen to Physical Graffiti as it contains more wonderful music by Led Zeppelin.

I think MA are a bit more sensible then MS, as they have classified Zep as being 'classic rock'. I don't see how this is a better metal album than Powerslave, Paranoid, Holy Diver, In The Nightside Eclipse, Abigail or Crimson. I mean, even included on MS is Uriah Heep (a great band) which is stated as being 'hard rock' and nothing else- not even a metal band according to MS. Zeppelin are blues-based, which is a factor than metal doesn't have, and one of the main things that differentiates hard rock from metal.
I don't really want to get into an argument, so I'll just leave it there.

most metal is heavily blues based as well, just take Judas Priest and Black Sabbath as two early examples. If it's not blues based according to you then what is it based?

On hard rock music, but with most of the blues chord progressions etc. removed.

When The Levee Breaks is a cover and Stairway To Heaven is partly ripped off, but tat's it. So the claim it is a really good cover album is an outrageous claim, especially when you compare it to what Led Zep did earlier on in their career.

Great, here we go with another one of those "oh my god Zeppelin stole everything they aren't even good" types.
News flash: nothing is original. Everyone takes some kind of influence from somewhere, and in some cases that influence is taken with more of a direct approach. Abbath freely admits parts of Immortal songs are lifted from Zeppelin, who in turn lifted their music from someone else, who in turn... well, you get the idea.

name the songs. Cause I bet you can't name anything besides the two examples I gave you off this album. It is all hearsay for your kind of people (age wise that is) And anything besides When The Levee Breaks and parts of Stairway Of heaven anyone comes up with (yes it has been done so many times) is extremely far fetched to call it a cover or ripping off.

You don't like Led Zeppelin - big deal. No need to blow a trumpet about it. Just move on and listen & comment on bands you do like. It's not necessary to pollute a thread with expressing your distaste.

I really don't understand why he shouldn't be allowed to express his distaste. I really don't understand the point of having threads to discuss artists if it's just to stay on the positive and suck each other's appendices because we all like the same music. The guy does seem to have a funny definition of what is plagiarism is, but still.

Agreed. Just because he expressed an opinion some of us disagree with doesn't mean he's "polluted" the thread. The whole point of a forum is to engage in discussion, not to partake in some kind of circle jerk. I like coming across different opinions, especially when it comes to a band of Zeppelin's status. I'd rather engage in a debate about why someone doesn't like them than to quote people back and forth about how great we are for loving the same music.

Okay, fair enough, I did go a bit too far with saying he has "polluted" the thread, but I certainly don't believe he isn't allowed to express his distaste, just that it isn't necessary, and especially when he has repeated a few times a claim that Marcel has clearly and accurately refuted.

No big deal. You were born almost a generation after this band broke up, so not sure what the big deal is with you yelling that you really can't stand this band. Move on - the world has.

Great album, most heaver, most metal album, as teenager Black Dog and Rock n Roll was my fav songs, more equal sound, more less same or close to same style, more away from blues roots, more 70's less 60's feeling , almost every song are great and hit, basically can be best of .. Black Dog, Rock n Roll great heavy riffs , calmer song The Battle Of Evermore, then follows song what I did not like as teenager(soft) but now adore, best lyrics from all LZ songs , yes Stairway to Heaven ... Going to Californian also great epic song, deep lyrics, then it was dream destination, now Cali,.. to much gangs and seems its shithole, anyway great song ... rest of songs are weeker, but 4 songs in the album what are super hits ... damn awesome. My best album and last one, since next one brings changes and bad changes
