40 years ago, Led Zeppelin released its most difficult album — and it's still hard to listen to

It was 1976's "Presence," and it signaled a return, a departure, and the beginnings of Zep's disintegration.

Led Zeppelin. Not to argue, just saying.

The thing there is (not to argue); ask a general pop music lover to name 6 or LZ songs, many would have a difficult time

This means the gen pop music lover is missing out. 😉

I can name a whole lot more LZ songs than the Beatles.

They only ever had one style, never the range of the Stones or the Beatles.

You honestly have no idea what you're talking about.

The more you know:

valleus

Which is not relevant to the one style argument.

YSMACK

10/27/20 4:18pm

And they are the Rock Gods of that style. I'll never dis the Beatles, but the Stones suck at their entire range

Hank Rearden

10/27/20 3:14pm

I have never understood the Stones' popularity. I hated them as a child, I hated

Obviously you haven't heard any/many Zep albums. At all. Radio only?

MatthiasPhunkHausen

I own them all. They’re good, but not that good.

valleus

10/27/20 3:20pm

I've just never heard "one style" claim before, so I assumed.

MatthiasPhunkHausen

10/27/20 3:31pm

Because it is the opposite of the truth.

YSMACK

10/27/20 4:16pm

That is just plain wrong.

Another article: LZ greatest rock band due to "versatility" and "diversity."

YSMACK

10/27/20 4:24pm

An article talking about LZ's dramatic change of style.

YSMACK

10/27/20 4:25pm

Another article re: LZ's undeniable "excellence and versatility."

YSMACK

10/27/20 4:28pm

Article LZ listing of 74 songs noting they are "crazily diverse."

YSMACK

10/27/20 4:29pm

I could keep going, but I think this is sufficient rebuttal

YSMACK

10/27/20 4:38pm

Nothing screams authority like “Vulture” and “Business Insider”. I’ll make you

valleus

10/28/20 8:39am

Just bizarre.

YSMACK

10/28/20 11:17am

Another where LZ are #2 all time to the Beatles

YSMACK

10/28/20 11:25am

And I thought I was a Zeppelin homer. YSMACK is showing some serious passion for LZ. Atta boy!!!!!

Hank Rearden

Even crazier when you realize they made so much great music in only 8 years.

10/27/20 2:40pm

And it was all good. The early stuff, the mid-era albums, the last 5 albums. They were all great. Now like CL said,

Lennon did Chuck Berry better than Chuck Berry.

Exactly. I only gave two examples but there are many others

So 10 hours would be about 13 or so albums
