Zeppelin could rock though. Just listen to a song like Communication Breakdown. It's got balls. Same with Heartbreaker, Living Loving Maid, Houses of the Holy, etc. Page was a thief and a fairly sloppy guitar player, but he was quite innovative with his instrument and very skilled too. He was also a master craftsmen of great riffs. And I don't get why people bash Plant. I admit that on live cuts he could be horrible. That call and response between Page's guitar and Plant's shrieks can hardly pass for creative improvisation - it was terrible! But on record, he delivered some amazing performances. I think he is one of the great rock vocalists. Zeppelin's real bread and butter was their rhythm section. Bonham was one of the great rock drummers; a total powerhouse. And JPJ always delivered tasty basslines. The bass playing on What is and What Should Never Be was probably the first bass playing I ever really noticed and dug.
Sound familiar? Kind of blowing with the wind there Weirdy.....
At any rate - I am trying to find all those wizard and elves lyrics and still can't find them.
