Summary

The band that committed every crime in the Rock & Roll Rule Book... If there's been a worse influence on rock vocalists than Robert Plant, please remember that Janis Joplin is too annoying to even think about, let alone bring into this conversation. Someone should really go back and look at how much the transmission rate of STDs in middle schools rose every year that Jimmy Page toured the United States. John Bonham is a legend among people who get excited about things like hitting stuff real hard. And you'll just have to listen to the episode to hear what we have to say about John Paul Jones a.k.a. The Other Guy in This Band. Rightly panned by critics at nearly every point of their career, loathed by their peers, perpetrators of the actual worst radio ballad of all time - Led Zeppelin Sucks!

Imagine people thinking and considering you to be the greatest rock band of all time.

0:16.7

So I think it's probably fair to say that Led Zeppelin is considered by most, by many,

0:21.2

be the greatest rock band of all time.

0:24.1

And yet there are seemingly infinite numbers of videos of 10-year-olds covering your music.

0:32.4

Perfectly.

0:33.3

But here's the thing. I would go so far as to agree with every single person who has ever called Led Zeppelin

0:40.9

the best rock band in history. I would say yes, they are. And they still suck.

0:48.4

This is the best that this genre can do and it's fucking awful.

0:54.0

The best rock band is still the worst music. It sucks. It sucks. Go home, start over and come back

1:03.0

when you have something good for me to hear because this is not it. Yeah, no. I just think that

1:10.1

for me it goes back to the way back to the tool episode. It's the same concept. If a 10-year-old

1:17.6

or younger, actually there are plenty of videos of literal children playing your songs as good

1:24.6

as you do. Yeah. Maybe you're not that talented and maybe you're not that good. Why are we impressed?

1:30.3

Maybe I shouldn't be impressed if an eight-year-old can play that guitar part.

1:35.2

What are we impressed about here? Like what is the thing that we're... Oh wow.

1:39.5

Children's music. Yeah. Kids can do this. If a kid can play your guitar riff and drum parts

1:45.7

flawlessly. Show me an eight-year-old kid who can sing like George Jones and then I'll lose my

1:50.7

mind over some shit. Yeah, good luck. I'll get real impressed right around the time that happens

1:56.0

and it's not gonna happen because you're fucking not gonna find that kid because that's what talent

2:00.8

sounds like and Led Zeppelin has got to be one of the least talented bands. But they're the best

2:07.0

rock band in history. Well, I feel like people are probably gonna have a problem with us saying this.

2:11.2

They're the best that rock can do, but it's still not good enough. It's really not that
