The board's server will undergo upgrade maintenance tonight, Nov 5, 2014, beginning approximately around 10 PM ET. Prepare for some possible down time during this process.
For the most part, Zep was at their best when they stretched out from their more derivative beginnings. Page, JPJ and Bonham are three of the best musicians/arrangers of all time and are much more interesting in exploration mode. While their proficiency with the blues is obvious, it's also comparatively dull when viewed against stuff like Kashmir, Achilles, No Quarter, In the Light, Rain Song, Fool in the Rain, All My Love, etc.

Led Zeppelin are the band I avoided for the longest because of my adolescent distrust of the "sacred cows" of 70s rock. I was in my 20s when I finally listened beyond the radio hits and realized how good they were
Look, I can be down with saying that someone doesn't like the blues cover stuff like You Shook Me, or I Can't Quit You Baby. But Since I've Been Loving You Best not be included

Zeppelin Blues, along with Dylan Blues, is among my favorite Blues. It's actually most of the only Blues I enjoy.
