Led Zeppelin

A band so boring and bland it can make you overrate it...oh nevermind.An overrated boring band that supposedly made heavy metal by making it mainstream after bands like Steppenwolf and Black Sabbath already made heavy metal.Experimented with alot of sounds but still manage to suck at that.Led Zeppelin fans are the worst kind of fan and none of their lyrics are special, well, maybe for the "Hey hey momma" in Black Dog but I'm sure they have deeper lyrics that are related to sex.
Led Zeppelin is a rock band from the 70's that quit in the 80's when they realized that after thiers fans would stop smoking pot they would have started listening to better music.
