In 1968, a band was formed that rocks the very clouds of heaven... Led Zeppelin.
It's band members are like the four elements
Earth: Jimmy Page. The composer and frontman. The foundation this band is built upon.
Water: John Paul Jones. The bassist of a band keeps the waters of the rhythm going.
Wind: John Bonham. The speed of his arms and the strength of his beat are like a tornade devouring all things musical.
Fire: Robert Plant. His screaming bluesy voice rages with the very fires of hell.
What do you like about Led Zeppelin? Who's your favorite band member? What's your favorite album? Do you like the music they did after the break up? Post away here!

Jimmy Page, no contest. As a band, I've had a really hard time deciding exactly how I feel about them. At the moment, the only two albums of theirs on my chart are Houses of the Holy and LZIV (in that order) and it will probably stay that way for a while. Houses of the Holy is virtually flawless, while LZIV is virtually flawless outside of the first two tracks (no, before you ask, I don't like "Black Dog" or "Rock and Roll"; it bothers me that they're two of LZ's most popular). Aside from that, they've put out some good music, but no other really solid albums in my opinion.

Robert Plant's my favorite. He oozes sexuality and his stage presence makes him seem more than human. He's also the most hippie from them all.
Favorite album: Led Zeppelin I
I haven't listened to any of their stuff post-Zeppelin.
What I like about Led Zeppelin? Interesting question. I don't think I could pinpoint it. It's just their approach to music. It's unrestrained. Highly improvised. It's very free-spirited and emotional. I go into a sort of trance when I listen to them. It's all very mystical. _________________

I wouldn't say it's flawless.. unless of course you think songs like The Crunge aren't fillers. A couple of others on their I also think are just okay. That being said, they have some of their best work on that album as well. Over the Hills and Far Away, D'yer Mak'er, No Quarter, and The Ocean are among their best songs. _________________

Interesting you point out "The Crunge" as filler. That seems to be how it's regarded, but that kind of baffles me. It may be a James Brown ripoff (intentionally so, I might add), but my God is that a sick beat. If I had to pick a weak track, it would probably be "D'yer Mak'er", but that's a great tune, as well. "The Rain Song" is probably my favorite on the album.
All band members are great! But I guess my order would be:
Robert Plant
Jimmy Page
John Paul Jones
John Bonham
My ranking of the albums:
1. LZ4. Favorite songs = Battle of Evermore, Misty Mountain Hop, Four Sticks, When the Levee Breaks
2. Houses of the Holy. D'yer M'aker, The Ocean
3. LZ3. Immigrant Song, Bron-Y-Aur Stomp
4. LZ2. Whole Lotta Love, Heartbreaker
5. Physical Graffiti. Trampled Underfoot, Kashmir
6. LZ1. Good Times Bad Times, Babe I'm Gonna Leave You, Dazed and Confused
7. In Through the Out Door. Fool in the Rain
8. Presence.
9. Coda.
