I don't really want to upset anybody but I have to ask. Aren't you bored of Led Zepplin, yet? Their music has been played so much over the years that I can't stand them anymore. Besides alot of their music was stolen from alot of great blues musicians. My 2 cents.

How dare you!!!!!!

Just kidding..I think the mystique about Led Zep was that when many of us first heard them during the late 70's, the sound was fresh and new. No one at the time had heard anything exactly like it. They mixed hard rock with prog rock, more so then any other english prog band while still having a pleasant sound.

I can't speak for anyone else' reasons, but yes, the music bores me to tears now. There are a couple songs like "trampled under foot" that I still like, and I acknowledge their originality and technical prowess, but frankly all rock bores me. Even Led Zep.

It's more about just getting old. I have not listened to any rock music in many years. Plus I never respected their decadent and pretentious lifestyles. Too "Spinal Tap" for my liking!
