Led Zeppelin

I will admit, I was pleasantly suprised when I listened to Led Zeppelin. I thought they were a cliche screaming band that is talentless and obnoxious. To my suprise, they were actually decent. I think they are still are a bit too over-the-top for me at times - I am still adjusting to the new era of rock 'n' roll, where people do a lot more screaming. As Mr. A said, they are absolutely TALENTLESS when it comes to writing lyrics. It's funny if you think about it. They are really talented musically, especially when it comes to playing instruments. But then they just SUCK at songwriting. It makes me wonder if they are the kind of people who use the right side of their brain more, making them very creative. And then it seems as if they have no ability what-so-ever to activate their left side of their brain to think logically.

Squeeze it so hard I fall right outta bed.
You gotta...Squeeeeze my lemon...till the juice runs down my leg
(I-wonder-if-you-know-what-I'm-talkin-about)
Oh the way you squeeze it gal - I know I'll all right outta bed

I mean seriously? Is it really that hard? Even The Band, who had an obsurd way of coming up with lyrics wrote songs that were ten times better than this.

One thing that is a negative is all of their songs blur together in my mind. I remember hearing parts of songs that I really liked and I would have liked to link them down below, but I honestly have no clue as to which songs they were. Plus the fact that the songs are so long. Even if I try and listen to them, I just end up tuning out by the 4th minute.

Overall, I think they are a band I will keep an eye out for as we continue to move on into the 70's. They have good songs and have some killer instrumentalists. They aren't a bad that I think I will ever love, but I can see some potential and hopefully they will continue to improve their lyrics.
