The guy that started that other thread must be smokin' crack, or he's into the Spice Girls, or BOTH! I know there are people that simply just don't like Zeppelin's music, but to criticize their musicianship is just absurd. Check out the article below ... it's a review of their reunion show last week.

With the black-shirt-and-jeans-clad Robert Plant now playing Norse elder to Jimmy Page’s silver-haired country squire, and John Paul Jones’ clean-cut, business-like form, the surviving members played with a youthful vigor that seemed channeled straight from the Summer of ’71. Plant even kicked the mike stand high over his head during “Ramble On” as Page beamed in admiration on the big screens that filled the O2 Arena.
