A Band from the the 60's that has influenced many bands, past and present(Van Halen's tapping technique was inspired by the "Heartbreaker" solo). I don't think they were overated, I can't really see how they could be. I think bands like Greenday and Nickleback are overated. Jimmy Page was an amazing guitarist who created many different sounds by using very creative methods( e.g The violin bow on "Whole Lotta Love" and "Dazed and Confused"). Also, John Bonham inovated drumming techniques with his unique style and super fast beats.(listen to Good Times, Bad Times or Moby Dick). Im not really sure that Led Zep alone were the "Creators" of Heavy Metal, and I think someone pointed out that Black Sabbath was doing their thing before Zep, but Led Zeppelin was one of them. Also, Led Zeppelin would have to be one of the most versitile band's in the world because they can do various types of songs(e.g. "Thank you", "Since I've Been Loving you", "Rock and Roll" and "Dazed and Confused" are all diferent styles). Sure, fads come and go but in my opinion, Led Zeppelin wasn't just another fad, because if they were, kids like me( i'm 14) wouldn't be listening to them. They may not be the "Greatest" rock band ever, but they're somewhere up there.

Get the Led Zeppelin Junkiemug. Undoubtably the most influential rock band of all time, if not the most influential of all genres. It's just sad that people give them so much credit... because they weren't terribly original. Led Zeppelin I doens't have a single song which isn't influenced by another band/person. Page copped lyrics and riffs from many poor blues artists without giving them proper credit. In fact, they've been sued several times for it.
This includes, but is not limited to the following:
Rock 'n Roll, Black Mountainside, When the Levee Breaks, Custard Pie, Hats Off to Harper, How Many More Times, Bring It On Home, Whole Lotta Love, Babe I'm Gonna Leave You, Nobody's Fault But Mine, In My Time of Dying, Moby Dick, Lemon Song, Boogie with Stu, Stairway to Heaven (yes, they lifted the beginning chords and the progression pattern), White Summer, Since I've Been Loving You, Dazed and Confused, Communication Breakdown.
They did have some original tunes which were good, but they need to give credit where credit is due, like to Willie Dixon or other poor blues artists of the 50s.

Get the Led Zeppelin IIImug. The best band ever to exist on the face of this earth. From their bluesy first album, to the best guitar album ever (Led Zeppelin II), to the best acustic album ever( Led Zeppelin III), to the best album with the best song ever ( Zep IV) to the best album ever( Physical Grafitti) and so on...
Led Zeppelin have never composed a bad song... All their songs are so fucking good. Only few bands are good enough to even lick Zep's balls(apart from Pink Floyd).
Stairway to heavenis the best song that has ever been written. Actually Sick Again, Dazed And Confused, Trampled Under Foot, Achilles Last Stand are as well
Jimmy Page is the best guitarist in the whole world. He will never be surpassed by any guitarist.
Jjohn Paul Jones is the best bass/keyboard player ever.
Bonzo is the fucking best drummer to stop foot on this earth. he can do anything on his drums- for you doubters check out Moby Dick live..
And Robert Plant has the most amazing voice ever. To prove this i reccomend you to listen to the ZEP DVD and putting on the MSG concert on the first DVD from 1971 and listening to I can't quite you baby
