I still could never bring myself to call them bad, I just fail to hear anything in what they do that's actually good.

I generally feel that way about them too. It's a combination of Robert Plant's voice and certain solos which not so much stretch for too long (I haven't got a problem with that, why would I listen to so much instrumental music if that was the case?), but are just plain tedious. In saying that, I've bought 'Presence' when was about 16, and it's still the only album of theirs that I can, more or less, listen to from start to finish.
