Plant is too shrill.

Page is too sloppy, and there are soooooo many great guitarists out there.

Bonzo is awesome, but . . .

Jones is far and away the best choice here. People who don't really listen have no idea how elemental he is to the Zep sound and success, and how much his unique virtuoso playing sets himself, and the band as a whole, apart from the crowd.

I bet you could probably figure out if it was LZ or a tribute band by taking 10 seconds out of your day to do a Google search.

I'm pretty sure if it was the band it would have been a really big deal. Guaranteed it was a tribute band. Jason Bonham has one himself.

Yes I did. Positively loved it. The scene when the Edge pitches his new riff for Elevation (I think?) is hilarious.

It is a little sad that Jack White took so much space but he is funny, entertaining and current so it still worked. Without him is would have been a 20 minutes documentary. Even though you get very little of Jimmy that little is still more than nearly all we got from him in the last 40 years summed up so let's enjoy it for what it is.

If you are still talking about The song remains the Same then ...

Would watching the movie count as hearing the album? => Yes, if anything it would be better than just listening to the album

at the same time they said that film isn't Zeppelin's thing => It isn't, music is Zep's thing and the music IS in that film.

Jimmy Page, Led Zeppelin are for some good varied albums and a varied carrier and Jimmy Page must have driven that with his influences from all over the place.

Led Zep deserves the honour of being the first band to figure out how to properly record rock drums for Led Zep IV when they set up the drum in the staircase and miked the room rather than the drum. Nowadays most quality drum recording is done in an environment that allows for the vertical funneling of sound - you cannot capture the true rock drum vibe if you record in a box, the sound needs space to expand.

Then the 80s came around and the electronic drum/beat box sound started dominating the airwaves ... Dang! I hate the 80s.

Like hell it is worth it ...

You cannot say you truly know Led Zeppelin as long as you haven't heard that momentous performance. It may appear flashy and artificial at first,it sort of is, but underneath the surface, it is much, much, more than just a gimmick ... this is why Led Zep's reputation and legacy is so durable, they sure knew hoe to put on a show, but they were just as amazing artists/musicians/performers. Lee Zep's flashiness does not come from unrelated pyrotechnics or blinding lasers, it comes from unheard of before musicianship and creativity.

JPJ does not get nearly enough love. He's just as integral to LZ's sound as any of the others, and I will stand by that statement

This, they all were essential members and that's what made Led Zeppelin the beast that they were, Jones deserves as much praise as the rest of them, if he wasn't in the band it just wouldn't be the same.

maybe four of most talented performers and really hard to choose one.
But Jimmy is the reason I first fell in this band, so I'll take him

As a guitar player, I've always idolised Jimmy Page. Over the last couple of years though, whenever I listed to Led Zep I just can't get past how amazing John Bonham is and I tend to listen to his drums more than anything else. In true dadrock style, I've even started to hammering the shit out of my steering wheel while driving, just not to his standard. So I'd say at the moment he is my favourite member.

As for most important member, they are all important, hence why they called it a day once John Bonham left us. Robert Plant is the only one I've seen live, and he played a load of zep stuff and it sounded good, but the best song that really stood out was Going to California, the heavy rock numbers just had something missing.

As for John Paul Jones... amazing, and along with Bohnham, they would be the 2 members of Led Zep that I'd put in my dream supergroup.

Page. Though he'd probably be the one I'd least want to hang out with. Tough question, they were definitely all essential.
