I like them well enough, usually would prefer to listen to other stuff though.
Every once-in-awhile though. . . Dazed and Confused.
Generally their weirder stuff is the best. The alternate tuning stuff, and the super psychedelic drugged out stuff. Their blues and country type stuff is good, but there were so many other bands doing that kind of stuff, and it's kind of masturbatory.
When they do Rain Song in Song Remains the Same though. . . .hahaha they were fucking cheesy weren't they? But that's sort of part of their charm.
Let's not ignore the whole Celtic Rock thing that came from Donovan's Hurdy Gurdy man which produced by JPJ and may have had Jimmy Page and John Bonham on as well, as Donovan claims but JPJ and Jimmy Page refute. If they were, I'd say that's Zeppelin's best song.
