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.
