Pros: - They truly know how to rock
- Jimmy Page is quite a guitarist, especially at that time.
- They evolved (although only slightly) over the years and become more experimental.
Cons: - Many of their famous riffs and songs are (admittedly) lifted straight from
blues songs without ever giving them credit.
- Much of their music/antics are unintentionally overblown
- They paved the
way for 80's hair
metal, changing the way guitarists think forever.
- Their fans tend to dismiss new music of any kind, throwing around
words like "
talent" and saying things like "its a shame kids these days
don't listen to good music", although that's not really LZ's fault...
Despite having these cons, this band has been rediculously influential over the years and pretty much shaped hard rock as we know it.
