LZ after "III" has not aged well for me.  It sounds plodding and ... well, old.   This is not helped by my hearing a LZ tribute band on the weekend - playing in a park bandshell.  (They're called Zed Leppelin.)   Man.   I thought I'd never again hear "Stairway to Heaven" played live.  I was wrong.

Actually, the band called him "Bonzo."  But - not a big deal....

Huh, not for me. I love this and In Through the Out Door though I realize I am in the minority.

How about Bad Company.

Name of the Band, the album and the song, tho all on the same disk. Don't think anyone else has done that.

Oh, and GREAT Zep tune.

The interest in Crowley was Jimmy's thing.

Does anyone know what the following lyrics mean?

"From the houses of the holy, we can watch the white doves go
From the door comes Satan's daughter, and it only goes to show."

I have to agree that " The Rover" is the best song on the album, but this album on a whole is one of their finest works ever.

Jimmy Page rocking out with Leona Lewis and David Beckham at the closing ceremony of the Olympics was one of the more surreal things I've seen lately.

Quuen, Sheer Heart Attack: album of that name released in 1974, but the song Sheer Heart Attack didn't appear until 1977, when it came out on News of the World. Man, that feels like a nerdy answer...

I'm not generally one for sweeping proclamations, but I think Zeppelin holds up as well or better than any band from that or any other era. In short, I think they define rock and roll.
