In my opinion, Plant has possibly the most annoying voice in all of classic rock. The first two albums (for the most part) was the best vocals he ever had up to In Through the Out Door. It would have been interesting to see where the band would have ended up had Bonham not died. They really had turned from their roots by the time ITTOD came out.
Don't forget Bob Dylan or Al Shepard. ITTOD came out in 79'. LZ broke up in 80'. Still many good years before that.
Metal?
Nothing Plant has ever done has been "
metal".
Some would consider Led Zeppelin metal. I personally don't but I wanted to be clear.
The whole band stole songs, it wasn't just Page. Between them and Bob Dylan stealing songs from those that came before them, I don't know which one was more blatantly disgusting with their musical thievery.[/QUOTE
John Paul Jones never stole any songs. Bonham only stole a couple. Plant stole 4 or 5. Page stole countless.
