I'm peeking in on page 7 of this thread and what I'm gonna say is probably redundant but here I go:
Zeppelin was a very important and influential band for many other bands. The problem with some people is that they refuse to learn about the past in order to understand the present and the future. For example some kids today (I say this being 22, not much of an adult I know) want to alternate tune their guitars and start playing grunge/experimental which is ok, BUT they will never progress past that...its sad I know, you will have to learn songs like Brown Eyed Girl before you can progress to the funner things. The same with musical taste, you have to explore the basics (in this case Zeppelin) befoire you can fullly appreciate the seemingly more interesting and appealing bands out there. My point is that without growing up through years 7-11 constantly blasting the classsics (Zeppelin, Hendrix, Elvis, Miles, Floyd and others) my understanding and overall ability to grasp every kind of good music would have been hindered. I'm sure many people feel that Zeppelin is way overplayed on the radio and that makes them a burned out band, well I agree, what songs the radio plays are not the best and are not much more than dated rock. But, explore the albums, the more you do, the more you will find the hidden treasures lying there waiting for you, the songs that you will say...hey what the hell, why isn't THIS on the radio. Its what me and my bro have always said : Zeppelin radio music is some of the most annoying and grating stuff around, but the majority of the non-radio stuff is just good music.
