It's that simple.
I probably have one of the most eclectic tastes in music around -- I can appreciate most genres. Groups like The Beatles, however, have never been able to whet my appetite. But for the first time in a very long time I heard this song on Sirius by George Harrison when he went solo, and I had forgotten just how much I like it. It's an anachronism to my ears -- hard to believe he churned this out before I was even born.

Same here, I can enjoy most genres, even classical. I mean Beethoven's 9th is an absolute masterpiece.
If I had to choose a favorite, it would be Stairway to Heaven, for a variety of reasons.
Kashmir (Led Zeppelin)
Wouldn't let me post the video pending approval for some reason.

The substantial truth doctrine is an important defense in defamation law that allows individuals to avoid liability if the gist of their statement was true.

Led Zeppelin was a good band, I listened to them a lot when I was younger and my musical tastes hadn't fully matured. I even saw them in 1974 during the "Houses of the Holy" tour and the show was really good. The problem with the band's albums started after "Physical Graffiti" and continued to the end, not much good music came out of those years. I have long maintained that if their audition song would have been "Fool in the Rain" they never would have gotten a recording contract. Just a terrible, laughable song.
The trouble for Zep started shortly after they released their 1st album. They didn't seem to have a firm understanding of plagiarism and could have avoided a lot of their problems if they'd have just credited song writers. Sometime in the 60's a group of British musicians got several American Black Bluesmen to travel to England and teach them. A lot of the mid 60's stuff is the result of that. Just give credit where credit is due.
With all that said, my favorite Zeppelin song would have to be "No Quarter" which they played during the aforementioned show. They fired up the ice machines, the fog rolling off the stage had to be four feet deep. The lighting gave it a spooky, ethereal look and the sound was magnificent.
When I. was a kid - like elementary school age in the 70's I used to go to Boston to visit my grandparents
They lived in an old triple decker, there was a park across the street where we could see the back of this blue cement dugout from our front porch and there was graffiti on it where someone spray painted what was supposed to say"Led Zep" but it looked like "Leo Zep" and I always wondered who that was lol I had no idea about the band yet
That was back in the mid to.late 70's and oddly I can still picture it to this day
Best Zeppelin song is too tough to pick!

In on the tribute. A very old piece of glass acquired from the local record store, which may or may not have been used for illicit purposes. One of my favorite treasures.

"Led Zeppelin was a good band"
Seems like a backhanded compliment. If Led Zeppelin is just "good", what would it take to be great? LOL
That being said, you're not incorrect about the plagiarism accusations. I'm sure you're familiar with the Spirit lawsuit, in which Led Zeppelin won that case. That lawsuit really was quite frivolous in my opinion. Those chords sited in the lawsuit had been around long before Spirit came on the scene. Now the great song "Whole Lotta Love" was nicked, no doubt about it, and that case was settled out of court.
Speaking of plagiarism, George Harrison was forced to pay-out for his song My Sweet Lord. Lennon and McCartney both had warned Harrison about possible problems, which of course did occur.
However the fact is that most if not virtually all modern era musicians were influenced by previous musicians, including sometimes from the classical era. Of course Harrison's mentioned song was influenced by He's So Fine, but I didn't see it as plagiarism. I think a lot of times these lawsuits get settled simply to avoid running up costly legal fees. If I'm on that jury, I'm voting not guilty of plagiarism. I would have also voted not guilty in the Stairway to Heaven case.
So now that you "matured" and you're a big boy, lemme guess. Glenn Miller and Benny Goodman. LOL
My favorite band - Been 45 years and still listen to them.......Now that they are older they don't make it to the US anymore.
"When they can't find anything wrong with you, they create it!"
I'll just leave a couple of "tid-bits" for now..........

They even do cover songs.......

This is pretty good - a stage hand was tuning the guitar and started strumming "wish you were here" and the audience then band members joined in. Hogarth, the lead singer, gave up and left the stage.............

Post a song you like? Too many good ones to name!
My music tastes are varied.
@stevek, my point was simply that all that’s needed, and most artists do it, is to give credit or make a few “structure” changes in a song. The egos of the Zeppelin members were just too big to allow that. Once I got past my teenage adulation, learned about music and the band, it became easy to dismiss them. No doubt they had a great influence on subsequent music(ians) but I only have one CD and rarely listen to them. In my modest collection of 500+ CD’s Led Zeppelin is nothing but an afterthought.
To my earlier mention of the Black American Bluesmen, I think the documentary was titled “The London Sessions” and included guys like Howlin’ Wolf and John Lee Hooker. There is a DVD and CD’s.
@Steven59, I saved most of my ticket stubs and a lot of them are Belkin, makes me wonder if we attended any shows together. Gone are the days of standing in line to get choice seats for $6.95!! 😂😂😇
The talent and originality of those "Black American Bluesmen" is undeniable. That being said, the song previously mentioned, Whole Lotta Love, which was nicked from Muddy Waters, is a far superior song to the Waters' version. I don't recall a single time ever hearing "You Need Love" on the radio. But If you consider the Waters' version to be the "mature" version, well to each his own when it comes to music.
Frankly, i think you fall for the tired premise that rock & roll is only for teenagers, and that older "mature" folks should be listening to "classier" music such as Frank Sinatra, etc. Nothing at all wrong with Sinatra, but I'll take AC/DC, etc, over that genre any time.
