Do people actually like this album or am I missing the joke?

Robbing african americans of their heritage is no joke, user

Dazed and Confused is the best Led Zeppelin song
Good Times Bad Times is top five
Babe I'm Gonna Leave You and Communication Breakdown are top ten
The only weak tracks are You Shook Me and You're Time Is Gonna Come
It's the best Led Zeppelin album

>giant penis on the cover

yeah definitely a joke

I think it's fucking hilarious actually, how white people did the one thing black people do all the time and don't get shit for, in order to save it from stagnation. Lord knows without white people we'd still be listening to chuck immitations churning out the same shitty licks for an entire century now.

Blacks have proven time and again that they just can't push forward and innovate.

Led Zep I and II are pretty bad and just BLUES over and over again

It is really good, but somewhat overrated, the four albums after I and II are better.

> Jazz music
fuckin' luuuul brother

Zep II is their best album, or maybe second to IV. I is garbage

IV > II > I >>>>>>> III

II>III>Houses of the Holy>I>IV>Physical Graffiti>Presence>In Through the Out Door

This album is a very effective soyboy(You) repellent

Imagine being this big of a cuck

>Liking Zappelin I
Yikes

Do you actually think Chuck Berry invented "rock & roll' in the 1950s?

I'm with you, OP.

I and II are like their best albums with II being the absolute best.

>You Shook Me and Your Time Is Gonna Come
>weak tracks

II>Unnamed>I>Houses of the Holy>Physical Graffiti>III>In Through The Out Door>Presence>Coda

Popularized it. We'll leave the origin research in your, I'm sure, capable hands.

All Chuck Berry did was explicitly sell rhythm & blues to white teenagers.

>liking Led Zeppelin

>thinks R&B = Rock n Roll

>giant penis on the cover
OK OK FEEL ME

Chuck Berry's contribution to rock and roll was the guitar solo as we know it today. He introduced licks that hadn't been seen before. Before that, rock and roll was just rockabilly, he made it rock and roll.

>"Blacks have proven time and again that they just can't push forward and innovate."
1. Racist, very racist
2. Blues, Jazz, Led Zeppelin songs, FUCKING DRUMS

>blues
one of the most fucking stagnant genres in history that got shaped into actual interesting things by white people. Literally the worst example you could have come up with.
>jazz
very shortlived and deader than rock
>fucking drums
>niggers were literally the only people who came up with the idea to hit huge shallow objects with sticks

There is a difference from being influenced and truly ripping off. If what you said was the case then 99 percent of EDM robbed Kraftwerk of their German Heritage.

Honestly the only Zep song I don't like is Stairway. Not because it's a bad song I just can't stand it. It's just so annoying.

You shook me is the best song on that album

Yeah most of people that enjoy rock music would

>Interesting is subjective so I won't argue about that; but I still disagree.
>Shortlived is not an argument about the music, its an argument about the popularity of the music. Jazz has been incredibly influential in terms of prog, and general music theory, let alone the merits and success of the genre alone. Anyone who dismisses a major genre as bad is either ignorant, arrogant, or genuinely stupid.
>Straw-manning an entire race shows me you're actually braindead; time signatures and polyrythms thrived off of drums as a type of instrument, and you cannot doubt the impact it's had on music.
>I also like how you completely ignored my point about you being racist; it's completely fine if you don't like blues and jazz (even though I would say you're being closed-minded) but relating your own tastes to the merit of a genre is simply racist.

Depending on what you're looking for it's kind of their best. It's a straight ahead hard, loud blues album with Robert's histrionics.
I can also understand disliking it because their other works have much catchier tunes, arguably better production, and interesting experimentation. I by comparison is the jumping off point from where blues started to the transformation into metal.

Now by popular demand! A list of some of the songs Zep stole from other artists:

"Babe I'm Gonna Leave You" - A folk song by Anne Bredon, this was originally credited as "traditional, arranged by Jimmy Page," then "words and music by Jimmy Page," and then, following legal action, "Bredon/Page/Plant."
"Black Mountain Side" - uncredited version of a traditional folk tune previously recorded by Bert Jansch.
"Bring It On Home" - the first section is an uncredited cover of the Willie Dixon tune (as performed by the imposter Sonny Boy Williamson).
"Communication Breakdown" - apparently derived from Eddie Cochran's "Nervous Breakdown."
"Custard Pie" - uncredited cover of Bukka White's "Shake 'Em On Down," with lyrics from Sleepy John Estes's "Drop Down Daddy."
"Dazed And Confused" - uncredited cover of the Jake Holmes song (see The Above Ground Sound Of Jake Holmes).
"Hats Off To (Roy) Harper" - uncredited version of Bukka White's "Shake 'Em On Down."
"How Many More Times" - Part one is an uncredited cover of the Howlin' Wolf song (available on numerous compilations). Part two is an uncredited cover of Albert King's "The Hunter."
"In My Time Of Dying" - uncredited cover of the traditional song (as heard on Bob Dylan's debut).
"The Lemon Song" - uncredited cover of Howlin' Wolf's "Killing Floor" - Wolf's publisher sued Zeppelin in the early 70s and settled out of court.
"Moby Dick" - written and first recorded by Sleepy John Estes under the title "The Girl I Love," and later covered by Bobby Parker.
"Nobody's Fault But Mine" - uncredited cover of the Blind Willie Johnson blues.
"Since I've Been Lovin' You" - lyrics are the same as Moby Grape's "Never," though the music isn't similar.
"Stairway To Heaven" - the main guitar line is apparently from "Taurus" by Spirit.
"White Summer" - uncredited cover of Davey Graham's "She Moved Through The Fair."
"Whole Lotta Love" - lyrics are from the Willie Dixon blues "You Need Love."

Holy fuck these guys were disgusting

but they were smart for doing it because they made a shit ton of money
