I fucking HATE Led Zeppelin!! They have to be the most overrated band in the history of this cesspool of a planet. If it's not Jimmy Page's "borrowed" guitar riffs, then Bob Plant's girly screech gets to me every time. The only thing they going for 'em was Bonham, and even he's so goddamn sluggish at times, I wanna burn my ears off with a blow-torch.

Most of all though, I loathe how know-nothing "journalists" cristen them as the progenitors of metal. I guess if you're a brainless fuckhead who's never heard the Sonics before (or Blue Cheer, MC5, Mitch Ryder ad nauseum) this would make sense. To those of us who actually revel in music history however, I find it an insult. What's most insulting however, is their utter and complete theft of EVERYTHING they ever recorded. What some examples?

Stairway To Heaven="Taurus" By Spirit

Whole Lotta Love="You Need Love" By Willie Dixon (whom they ripped off at least 30 other times)

Led Zeppelin III=Anything Bert Jansch was doing in the same period (and earlier)
