I don't care about lyrical content unless it's particularly abhorrent. I don't care if it's fruity, mainstream, edgy, hated, loved, accepted, not accepted, known, unknown, whatever the ****... it doesn't matter. Can I unplug my brain and enjoy the sound? That's literally it. I rarely even examine or consider lyrics. I think too much. Music = my brain unplugged.

When you say "worst sounding"... do you mean something more specific than... just... the one you like the least? To say it's "clearly" the case is utter nonsense. I don't personally agree at all... I prefer Zeppelin to every band you listed besides Floyd... which means as little as the fact that you don't.

I guess I have no idea what you're trying to say. Different players sound different was my only real point.

I guess I have no idea what you're trying to say. Different players sound different was my only real point.

It's pretty simple; I don't think they sound as good as those other four bands I've mentioned. I think they sound a bit harsh. I guess it's partly attributable to Page's guitar tone, which I think is not particularly pleasing to the ear. It's probably also their lack of melody as well as songwriting craftsmanship, such as including a hook, chorus or bridge, or the fact that unlike the other bands there's one real singer in the band, and any backup vocals provided aren't as good as backup vocals from the other bands (harmony).

Due to my music taste, I probably prefer when the bass plays a more prominent, kinetic role in the music as well. Jones plays root notes way too much for my liking, mimicking the guitar lines too much. I'm also not a big fan of Plant's vocals.

And they're so clearly the least original of the five bands here.

So, yeah, on the whole I'd have to say Led Zeppelin are actually kind of musically lacking and instead wank too much on their instruments.

I also think they have less replay value than those other four bands.

First I thought you'd mean production wise you think they have the worst sound I kind of would've agreed, atleast between those mentioned band - albeit the Stones' production until Let it Bleed was shit aswell, but that was before LZ even debuted. The songs themselves are a matter of taste.

JPJ staying on the root or following the guitar too much is a necessity. The other bands you mentioned have way more open, none riff based music. Much easier employing a free flowing style there. It's hard to do that on riffs without making it a mess. What I really dig is doing counter melodies to the riffs.

That's also why imo JPJ shines most on the tunes Page doesn't. Lemon song being the exception, but blues is easier to keep together.

[Prometheus]

I appreciate your qualitative distinctions, I'm just left scratching my head at the notion that your preference is in any way objective... I could spell out a bunch of reasons why I prefer Zeppelin to the Stones, and why I might talk myself into my reasons being the ones that matter... but they don't. I just like Zeppelin more... and you don't. They aren't objectively better or worse for it.

Had to at least address this part.

Who synthesized the folk sound and the hard rock sound like Zeppelin (a la Stairway, Ramble On, etc.)?

Who sounded like Plant before Plant?

In general, I believe drummers would be offended by this statement. John Bonham was a pioneer.

Who wrote anything that sounds anything like Kashmir? No Quarter? When the Levee Breaks? The Rain Song?

You say they are less original, I say you just don't like them.

It's a good point about the Zeppelin riffs. Personally I like the Stones' murky sound on early stuff produced by Andrew Moog Oldham. I also like how a lot of their tunes are piano driven.

I agree afa Floyd, Beatles, the Who... and as for the Stones I suppose I'll concede that I don't know their catalog as comprehensively as I know Zeppelin's.

Forgot to mention Zeppelin's awful lyrics as a reason that makes it difficult to enjoy their music, despite it being the most obvious and self-evident reason. The Stones are some of the most original songwriters there are during their 60s-early 70s period, and Jagger-Richards is probably the 4th best songwriters in the history of the genre after Lennon-McCartney, Leiber-Stoller and Brian Wilson, and they never straight stole lyrics from other recording artists.

So outside of all those hits they had, most of the material on their four classic album run (plus Get Yer Ya's Ya's Out) is pristine. Examples might include Jigsaw Puzzle, Moonlight Mile, You Got the Silver (probably the worst song on the album, but even this is great, and Keith sings this really well, in my opinion).

[Prometheus]

I am glad we had this talk because I've had a good morning listening to the Stones, but this is still a funny/confusing one to walk back. I was trying to unbox what you originally said, which was:


if it has its own distinct sound there's a good chance it's Hendrix or Clapton, or The Who:lol

Which is silly, first of all... there are plenty of tones which are just as immediately recognizable, even when that's a bad thing - when I hear SRV, I know it's him within a half a second, even if I've never heard the track. Robert Fripp is more unique than... anyone else perhaps. Et cetera

But then that somehow became:


True, but I think certain tunesmiths get a better sound out of their tunes. For example, I think Led Zeppelin are clearly the worst sounding band out of the top five bands of all time (Beatles, Stones, Who, Zep, Floyd).

Do you see why I'm confused? This statement has nothing to do with the previous one :lol

It's just a statement of preference. And it's funny, because it grew out of this idea of "its own distinct sound" and even if you don't prefer Page, he sounds more like himself (and less like anyone else) than Lennon, Harrison, McCartney, Richards... I would argue Gilmour too - perhaps every guitar player from the aforementioned groups except maybe PT.

I guess it's partly attributable to Page's guitar tone, which I think is not particularly pleasing to the ear.

All cool. I disagree, but you like what you like. Just odd to pretend it's anything beyond presonal taste.


Right, but they're still less original than the other four bands, and I think you could say this rather objectively. Zeppelin drew more on their influences than the other bands did.

I can maybe agree with this. Still - I don't hear who drove so far away from chord progressions toward riff-based songs before Zeppelin. I don't hear as big a leap from Howlin Wolf to Elvis as I hear from Elvis to Robert Plant. I like music with a very strong rhythmic pulse... and to me, Bonham/Page made Zeppelin far more rhythmically satisfying - like on a completely different strata - than anything by the Beatles or Stones or Clapton. So to me (with the disclaimer that I am not a drummer) Bonham alone makes Zeppelin extremely innovative (and drummers with whom I've spoken agree).

Besides, there are innovators and culminators. I've always seen Zeppelin as more of a culmination of rock than an innovation.

The best thing you said all day was that they have shitty lyrics. Mostly that is true - I think a lot of the time Plant just wanted to write music for people to f*ck to. At least in the early days. Probably why it's so rhythmic. But yeah a lot of dull lyrics - but then a lot of good ones too. Paul McCartney wrote a lot of really stupid, shitty lyrics too and all we ever do is suck his dick as a songwriter.

[Prometheus]

I never appreciated the Stones' poetry until today. Always enjoyed the hits, but never enough to dig into the rest of their stuff. Gotta say I'm deeply impressed with the lyricism.

Well, Prometheus, I don't really have time to read your walls of text, but I was referring to my own music taste, so I fail to see why you delved off into another direction with the discussion.:confusedshrug:

That would make sense that you'd like a strong rhythmic pulse if you're a drummer.

Well, I can see that you can talk a bunch of shit. What do you think of Mother's Little Helper? Good lyrics? How about No Expectations? Good lyrics? How about Street Fighting Man? Good lyrics? They all kick the crap out of anything Zeppelin ever offered up lyrically.

You can tell they knew how to bring the instruments together in a compositional manner and craft some songs.

[72-10]

I really like Page's meandering guitar that leads nowhere, like on Over the Hills and Far Away, that sounds like some shit.

[72-10]

It's interesting, too, since I know how to both read and write English, and since I know what the various definitions for "great" are, that one could make the claim that The Rolling Stones are the greatest band of all time. Can't say the same for Zeppelin, that band that gets plugged all the time from a small-genre radio format.

Mother's little helper was a song from ealier albums I would've mentioned, but it kind of falls under hits.

With the whole opiate crisis it's more relevant than ever. Evrn their hits had some great meaningful lyrics. And although not as deep I think Gimme Shelter is great poetry. Morrison or Cobain singing that it would be hailed as good poetry, but it's the Stones so most people think it's cheesy.

Yeah, any of those 100 hits you had in particular in mind, or was it just Gimme Shelter?

[72-10]

Prometheus, yes, I was referring to the four-album run beginning with Beggars Banquet (sans Ya Ya's). I believe it has another name it is aka but I don't recall atm. It's amazing that they all reached #1 considering that they had to compete with the Beatles during their prime.

[Overdrive]

Yeah, any of those 100 hits you had in particular in mind, or was it just Gimme Shelter?

Just an example. You named Street fighting man and Mother's little helper already.

Satisfaction was unheard of back in the day. Both in a literal and figurative sense.

In chronological orderand the top of my head I think those hits(not going strictly by single releases - some songs became more famous than their singles and honestly I guess there are few songs that were actual hits I don't know they were) have good to great lyrics:
Satisfaction, As tears go by(eventhough made famous by Marianne Faithful), Mother's little helper/Paint it black, Sympathy for the Devil, Street fighting man, Gimme shelter, Jumpin' Jack Flash, Wild horses, Shine a light and as I said before I think their musical content dumbed down after Exile, Especially the lyrics on their hits. I love "Miss you", but there's nothing much left. Even if the lyrics weren't dylanesque both glitter twins had a knack for using "beautiful" words that smoothed into a song.

From the later songs I love "Out of control" the most, but Jagger had a more direct, literal approach later on.

btw: How do you write songtitles correctly in english? TBH something like Mother's little helper looks so odd to me. I'd write it Mother's Little Helper or going by my language's orthography it'd be Mother's little Helper. Both don't look as weird to me.

Not the point of the thread, but another problem with Zeppelin compared to those other bands is that their albums do not flow as well as those of the others do. This is very easy to hear by actually listening to all of the bands instead of just focusing on one. They also tend to play a riff repeatedly without much deviation. A band like Black Sabbath, for example, would play many different riffs in each song, both changing key and metre, something Zep didn't do. I don't see how Zeppelin can be credited with playing any heavy metal when they didn't since they didn't combine the stylistic elements that comprise heavy metal; unconventional changes in key and metre as well as slack-tuned instruments. Like I've said before, I challenge anyone to find a Zeppelin song that even has two of these three elements. What I'm stating are facts about music, not matters of taste.

Not a singles guy, had to check which were #1 and among the US ones it's Ruby Tuesday for me.

Looks like someone's messed with the discography list over at Wikipedia - I'm pretty sure they have 12 #1s in the US.

Cool, that's one of my favorite Stones songs, though most people don't seem to like it these days. But for me, among US #1s, it's a no-brainer that it'd have to be Brown Sugar - Jumpin' Jack Flash only made it to #3, and I probably like that almost as much, though I do favor some other Stones tunes.

And btw, It's All Over Now, which hit #1 in the UK but not the US, is one of my favorite Stones songs albeit an early one.

[72-10]

That's cool; I guess what I had previously read meant 12 #1 singles between the US and UK markets. Here they are:

1. (I Can't Get No) Satisfaction - July 1965
2. Get Off of My Cloud - November 1965
3. Paint It, Black - June 1966
4/5. Let's Spend the Night Together/Ruby Tuesday - March 1967
6. Honky Tonk Women - August 1969
7. Brown Sugar - May 1971
8. Angie - October 1973
9. Miss You - August 1978
10. It's All Over Now - July 1964 UK
11. Little Red Rooster - December 1964 UK
12. The Last Time - March 1965 UK

Out of Time by The Rolling Stones is another great tune.

I really like "It's all over now", but it's a Bobby Womack tune and I wouldn't put it in a list of their greatest stuff - hard putting covers there. Even when the Stones made them famous.

I don't enjoy their demos that much, alway steered clear of those compilations. Same for England's and No. 2/Chess Sessions. Their production was total ass until December's.

[Prometheus]

Man... you really don't like Led Zeppelin :lol that's cool.

I have never been a fan of anyone calling them "metal". So I totally agree with that...

What do you mean when you say I can talk a bunch of shit? I was praising the Stones...

And it would have taken literally 45 seconds to read that post. No need to be a dick. You misread the small part you did read anyway - I said I'm not a drummer.

[72-10]

No, I mostly stated facts that are major detracting qualities to the band relative to the other bands.

[Prometheus]

I really like Page's meandering guitar that leads nowhere, like on Over the Hills and Far Away, that sounds like some shit.

I'm assuming this is sarcasm? Hard to tell. I actually really like everything Page did with that song. I always thought his arrangements were beautiful - his layering of multiple guitar tracks is always done very well. And that song has like 6 different riffs in it that are each infectious.

I agree their lyrics are mostly dumb, but that particular song is mildly clever and has a good message.

WTF are you talking about? Have you even heard the song? It has one or at most two riffs.

No, I think his guitar sounds awful on that track during the solo.

[72-10]

Well, I think it has now been well established with presentation of facts that Led Zeppelin were the least original and most derivative of the five bands I mentioned. Worst-sounding might be a bit more subjective, but I don't think anyone who actually delved into the music of all five bands would disagree (since Led Zeppelin conveniently has a small-genre radio format to plug itself all the time, unlike the other bands).

[Prometheus]

opening/main riff (that everyone knows and plays in guitar center)

don't know what to call it riff (0:45-0:55) and (1:05-1:15)

pre-chorus (1:15-1:25)

chorus itself is a new riff, then the previous two layered in between

leading into the solo is 4 measures of more new material

then the aforementioned meandering solo

no more new material after that. I count five.

Are those really facts you presented? There was no breakdown of songs, no comparisons. You just said it's that way, because you say so.

I doubt "Over the hills" has at most just two riffs, will check later, but I got 3 on my mind rn.

Yeah, I did present facts. I presented a shitload of facts. Mostly music theory stuff: ej. lack of melody, lack of songwriting qualities like ever including a bridge, hook or chorus, lack of harmony, lack of backup vocals, having a radio format that plugs the said artist, awful lyrics, stealing stuff from other artists etc.

Again, I can dig what you're saying about the lyrics. But you're disparaging Zeppelin HARD and kinda coming across as though you have only heard a few of their songs... I admitted to only knowing the Stones by their hits. Is that where you're at with Zeppelin?

This is dumb. If you actually listened to all the bands, and actually knew any music theory, it'd be glaringly clear that this band barely has these qualities compared to the other bands.

[Prometheus]

There are so many different things one can value in music.

To state that the Stones are in any way objectively "better" or "greater" than Zeppelin just means you value certain parts of the experience, and have trouble imagining others who value different things.

Poetry is obviously important to you. I dig that. If it was more important to me, maybe I would hate LZ like you do. BC yeah, their stuff can be pretty dumb. But in all honesty, atleast 2/3 of the time I listen to music, I don't give a shit about the words. When I do, I do, but when I don't, I just want to jam.

I grew up improv jamming in a bedroom with my closest friends... spent very little time singing/writing and a lot of time just jamming. Rhythm and feel are more important to me than anything else most of the time. For these more visceral parts of the music-listening experience, LZ is immediately more intense and satisfying than someone like the Beatles.

The only difference is that I don't mistake that with them actually being... better.

[Overdrive]

WTF you're asking me to prove a negative. All one has to do is listen to all of their songs.

Actually, I only need one example to negate your thesis that x does y. Unless you want to tell me the other 4 bands only did original songs, including dynamic changes en masse, backing vocals etc. Both the Beatles and Stones started out as a cover band. Pink Floyd was just your random psychodelic band nothing better than the 13th floor elevators. Only the Who were original from the get go, but most of their early catalogue is weird shit. The Who identified by most lasted for 3 albums. Most people couldn't name you songs from Tommy other than Acid Queen and Pinball Wizard.


Look. I just took a huge dump on your argument.:confusedshrug:

Well, without reading any of your post outside of the "objectively better or greater" part, it's pretty easy to point out that the Stones are objectively greater because they've written more great tunes. The Stones knack for songwriting is too good if you ask me.

Listening to Stones' Out of control, No security album rn.

Jemima Surrender - The Band

I think this has a really good riff. Probably a top 300 riff all time.

Another example of such a riff is I Choose by The Offspring, Change the World by The Offspring or Americana by The Offspring.

I could pretty easily point out that Ron Asheton of The Stooges is a top 40 riff writer all time, just like whoever is writing the riffs for The Offspring.

Other songs I've listened to recently include:

Sad Eyed Lady of the Lowlands - Bob Dylan (had to switch off after a while; found the song too slow at the moment)
It Ain't Hard to Tell - Nas
Union Man - Neil Young
Southern Pacific - Neil Young
Harvest Moon - Neil Young

I plan to watch Soul Sacrifice by Santana from Woodstock in a few, and then Richie Havens' performance there as well.

Neil Young - Yonder Stands The Sinner (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VP-A2NG3HlY)

Didn't really care for this album originally, but the more I listened to it the more I loved it. Just so raw and pure.

Good song.



I’m listening to Yob’s debut album right now. Elaborations of Carbon.
Doom metal is the best kind of metal IMO

Aerosmith during their first four albums were a great band. They completely imploded after that and later became the biggest sell out cuntz.

Aerosmith was great on the first 4, that's true.

[Heavincent]

I’ve been on a big Tool kick since hearing their two new songs. Lateralus is one of the GOAT albums.

He just loves good music. Following any fad is a sign of a weak mind, not youth.
